adding my reply here as well for future reference:
Man did I publish all that, no wonder I'm tired (he he)
I just added a few more pics from the St Patty's Parade as well as from the luncheon.

Also added the new photo to the Carrol-Kenna photos that was mentioned in this message but I just completed that now for John ?Jack? Carroll.

For behind the scenes what you don't see but helps to improve the web site:
Google Search
- we have improved our Google search page indexing from only 8 pages to 68 due to some technical steps I have built into the site as well as registering us in special way with Google for indexing. In summary it means people will be more likely to find the site when searching through Google.
Advertising
- I expanded the use of the small banner adds you now see on the left hand side of the main pages on the site. The goal here is just to offset or hopefully break even the hosting cost of the web site. We make a few pennies every time a page is loaded and if someone sees those ads. We make even more if they click on one and follow the ad. If we meet the hosting cost goal the rest is gravy for the site. So far we have only generated about $10 in a few days but this will improve as we get more hits. Same for the Google search box, the more it's used from our site the more we make.
Key Words
- embedded in the background programming of the page are specific key words that can trigger better results when surfers enter terms in search engines as well as improve how the search engine categorize the content of the web site. Think if it as one giant library catalogue system in some respects. The goal here is to make the web site pop-up to the very top or near the top of search results for specific topics so we get more visits.
I could go on here but have probably already bored most of you and I have to sleep eventually. Contact me anytime if you want to learn more.
Cheers
