Hi,
My name is Dr. Dan Perach, I’m a chiropractor in Israel.
I am planning to do an imminent redesign of my website, changing from a boring online business card, to a resource for low back pain sufferers.
In my spare time, half time actually, I am learning and implementing website building… on new blogger, as well as SEM.
Nice to meet you,
Dr. Dan
Thanks for dropping by, I’m curious as to which article brought you here.
Please look out for the email I just sent, let me know when the updated site is viewable.
You know me, ’nuff said
Sure do. Remind me to contact you when I get to Sydney in March.
Hey hey,
This is pretty cool. Well done if I might say so myself. See you around sometime.
Jess
Thanks Jess, I’m enjoying it so far!
See you soon.
Wanganui, eh?

No, but it’s sometimes amazing to re-read old entries. Sometimes they read as if someone else had the experience. little life factoids you thought you’d never forget, and yet here they are, already a fading memory. And yet others remain rock solid in the memory.

Otherise known as Ian McLean, I came to Star Trek and science fiction media fandom in 1979. I spent over a decade as President of ASTREX, a Sydney-based Star Trek fan club, and started a Batman club when the first Tim Burton movie came along in 1989. A frequent convention attendee in the 80s and 90s, I was often as a panelist or Master of Ceremonies. In fact, I even attended a NZ Star Trek convention in Wanganui, in 1988, as the “fan guest of honour”. Have been on the Internet since 1996, and started blogging last year.

Indeed, I was whisked away to Christchurch during my childhood. What 7-8 years of memories I do have were amazing albeit now a very small town in comparison.
My father and his father owned and maintained the ‘Riverside poultry farm’ (I’m a little rough on exact name, age…) on the other side of the river to town.

… and whack yourself for not making sense or fixing those typos after all those years.

That’s a very long time to still be passionate about a sci-fi, I’m caught between Stargate, Farscape and Firefly at the moment. To narrow it down I’d have to put bets on Firefly though.
Hey Michael, bring on a review of Blogger vs. WordPress!
Wait… that almost sounds like I’m challenging your opinion. I have no idea what WordPress is capable of so I’d love your perspective on the two platforms. Your comment at Top Rank Blog, I think, missed the changes to Blogger since their overhaul.
Thanks
By the way, come say hello at http://www.seobrien.com
I’ve been around a while, spent a few years at Yahoo and now manage online marketing for HP
Thanks for reminding me, it’s in the post frequency queue…
You’re right, there have been some major roll outs recently from Google to their pet blogging platform, I’ll update my account and give it a test-drive.
Hey Michael,
Rob from Banff Canada (Rocky Mountains).
Found your posts on “preferred domain feature google” on Google of course.
Great info and discussion - thanks!
Hi Rob,
I’ve updated this pages copy to include asking ‘how you got here’.
Worth mentioning is your sites loading times are over 30 seconds now and counting, it’s having issues at the index.html page; might be worth something.
Thanks for visiting and the compliments!
Hi Michael,
I’m Kyle
I currently have a few sites up on the web but only do work when I have some free time.
I’m looking at doing some freelance SEO work by the end of the year and at the moment I just enjoy browsing all the good forums and blogs out there and testing what I learn.
Liking your blog, I’ll stick around!
Kyle.

Hi Michael, came here from Search Engine land and Chris. I am the CEO of AussieWeb Local Search. I am keen to “connect” so you can understand where we fit in the online business directory business for Australia. We have NO premium listings so it may stretch you a little bit.
Best

Hi, my name is Mandy and I’m a dreamer.
I need to find a support group. Can you help me?
I found your website when I was surfing my friend Luke’s website because I had nothing else to do at work. He had a link to yours.
I think we should have another poker night soon. That was fun.
Maybe we make sure we have cards beforehand, just in case?
Me
Deal, I’m going to start up a personal blog; …yes, plog.
It’s on http://www.michael.visser.com.au, that way I can keep the two apart.
