Web User

Well I'm still not well, but I've had enough of sitting around feeling sorry for myself and watching really bad daytime television from under the bedcovers, so it's time to post some stuff...

The first thing that cheered me up this week was Samorost 2, for me it's the gaming equivalent of a big *hug*, but some other news has penetrated the lazylaces bedcovers (ooo-er). The current issue of Web User magazine, "The UK's biggest selling internet magazine", featured Lazylaces in their "best new web sites" review! Oh the fame. Admittedly by "featured", I mean "was tucked away in a byline on page 17", but you have to take what you can, and they did describe me as an "old favourite". Thanks guys. Next time I'm aiming for at least a half page spread ;o)

yeh, how does that work? an old new favourite? or are you 'camp', so old and out-of-date that you've come round again and are now hip (in an ironic way of course)? or (my personal vote) a "best-kept secret"?

or maybe they just wanted to be able to list you as a "best new site" so they could say "first!"

Congratulations, Graeme! I'd love to read the article but couldn't find it on the Web User site. Looked under site reviews but couldn't locate it.

By the way, are you happy with Google ads? I'm in the middle of trying to set it up for my website. Are you satisfied with it?

Sam : I'm only in the print copy! And, yes, i did go out and buy one :o) Someone has transcribed the links from the magazine on their forum (which is how i knew about it). <a href="http://www.webuser.co.uk/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/243202/an/0/page/0">Look here</a>.
<p />
And yes I am happy.
