Christ Not Another Search Blog!

Well hopefully this can be made to be a little different, different in that I am going to make the focus interview type sessions with prominent people in the search world. I have a few in the offing already so watch this space.

Another avenue I am going to pursue here at some point will be usability, I always find myself thinking “what ignoramus designed the processes on this site, they are shite”. So as I travel around the web and come across something I reckon I could do better I will make a note and hopefully put the details up here. A glorified moaning spot really.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy what I have planned, if not there is always SEO Blogs List

Cheers

    Love the logo and looking forward to the moaning.

  3. becky

    is that swearing in the title gimpy??

  4. admin

    ahh NFFC, good to see you. The logo comes courtesty of Martin at Bronco Ltd, so thanks to Martin and Bronco for their help. The brief was something cartoony but without the sleaze, I think you will agree a job well done.

    As to moaning, yep, looking forward to that and I am sure that I can count on you to put me in my place should I need to be re-placed. :-)

    Becky, nope, that not be swearing, that’s just what people could well be thinking. Thanks for dropping by.

  5. NFFC

    Ah Martin, I heard he was good in the fetish areas.

    Lovely logo!!

    I aint sure about it being a cartoon, as it looks a dead spit of you Gimpy IMO!

  7. becky

    It’s the rolling eyes that do it for me…especially when you get the gimp to go cross-eyed

    Awesome logo!
    a moaning gimp, not going to be easy explaining this site is work related.

  9. Brad

    Yeah that has to be the best logo I’ve seen in a long time. Best of luck with the blog.

  10. Chris Raimondi

    Wow - your site is purrrty :)
    Now I will think of that damn logo when people mention you.

  11. Gerbot

    any logo that has my attention for that long has to be great.
    (If you right click you can lock the dude in cross eyed)

    I’d love to see you defend that copyright logo in front of a judge claiming to own the intellectual rights as the legal entity “UKGIMP” :)

  12. claus

    LOL welcome to the machine, UKGimp :) And Brad too :)

    About that logo - now I guess I have to find out what “gimp” means, as it’s obviously not just the Gnu Image Manipulation Program *lol*

    Ah, I see, the graphic *is* a gimp. That’s hilarious - I never knew, but then I’m not English: http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?tname=gimp-sadomasochism

    You should make a non-flash version though. You can make it so that a gif/jpg/png shows in stead of the flash if you haven’t got flash.

    Now I only wonder how many clicks away this blog is from a lesbian show - I hear it’s all the rage at the moment, and with that name I bet you could beat the record of two clicks that some other blog had *lol*

  13. Martin

    claus, as a matter of fact there is a gif image just behind the flash thingie, although I haven’t tested it on a non-flash machine to see if the image is being displayed properly when the flash is disabled.

    anyways, thanks everybody for you opinions on the logo, I appreciate it very much ;)

  14. mick g

    I can’t wait for you to turn up at the next seo meeting wearing that outfit Gimpy :)

  15. MaxD

    pulp fiction or what.

  16. ukgimp

    Not going to happen Mick :-)

  17. DougS

    About bloody time you did something useful:0

    Well done Rich and good luck with it.

    DougS

  18. ukgimp

    Thanks Doug. I might have to dispute the useful line though hehe.

  19. claus

    Martin: It’s not, it’s just saying “click here to get the plugin” - try sticking this inside the object tag, just before the end tag:

    They do it on this page (http.//dr.dk), just scroll down to “” to see.

  20. claus

    Okay that didn’t turn out well - I’ll try escaping the html

    Look for : < div id=”idFelt” > - in source of page mentioned above

    This tag goes inside the object tag:

    < img src=”/path/to/some.gif” alt=”" / >

    Just before the tag < / object >

    Hope it displays this time :)
