Thanks, Leonnie, although I'm not sure it's the right marketplace for me. It's a local business, as in within a few miles of home. I do garden maintenance and design. I'm also hoping to obtain a firearm dealers' license, and then start internet and mail order guns and ammunition. That will be in the New Year though.


Garden design yes. Very Happy

It's called forum pimping and you'd never catch me doing it.

www.thecardbee.com is only ever listed when it's the right moment, www.two3five.com hardly every gets pimped. Clearly I'd never pimp www.hiddenvalleypigs.co.uk (doubled my hit rate yesterday by offering free delievery and it's not even my business) and clearly everyone know I'd never pimp http://www.mullacottfarm.co.uk just because it has a fab B&B and farm shop (well it sells eggs, lamb, turkey, pork and B's cards).

So no you shouldn't do it Wink Twisted Evil

It's not called pimping, it's called promoting your business which is a sensible thing to do if you're in business Very Happy

And just so that Zebra Digital doesn't get left out, go and visit so you can see the website I've just finished (yesterday) for the tile shop, you'll find a link to them in the portfolio.

Clearly my cheek was filled when I posted Laughing

My post was a blatent pimp. A signature with URL's is accepted on almost every forum. Posting in the correct place about goods/services you might be selling is also fine on almost every forum.

Yesterday I did raise a fair few posts on various forums to sell items or ofer 'special offers' which again is fine.

On one forum (very new and might be a protest from another site) I was asked to provide some free services in return of my posts so I've spent part of the morning posting up useful links and the like.

But back to topic, sig files are fine.
