Curly's Corner Shop

Curly's Corner Shop

The number of visitors to my site continues to grow since I put version 2 online on the 7th. January, there have now been 250,000 hits in the past twelve months. The average number of visits per day is up 25%, and the search engines are only just starting to index the new site! I'm quite satisfied with these figures, and also happy that visitors are now spread globally.

Today's logfiles, for instance, show ip addresses from the Bronx, New York, Riyadh, Kuwait, Richmond in British Columbia, the Hague, Pakistan, and Adelaide, Australia, as well as a small smattering from the U.K.
It's pleasing to note that so many people want to know about South Shields.

Now if they also read this blog can I say that it would interest me (and others) to know why you want to know about South Shields, did you find what you wanted, and did you like the site? Is there any additional features that you would like me to add to the site?

You can let me know by sticking a pin in the Guestmap at the foot of the homepage, give me your email address if you wish (or enter n/a), enter where you are from and any connection with the North-East, and leave a little comment. You can even choose to attach your country's flag! It's all quite simple and helps other people see how wide the interest in the Corner Shop is, as well as looking a bit better than the normal "sign my guestbook".

You can also leave little comments in the "Chatterbox" on this page.

Charles and Camilla

HRH Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales has announced he is to marry his long time lady friend Mrs. Camilla Parker-Bowles, she will become HRH the Duchess of Cornwall.
It will be a civil marriage ceremony in Windsor Castle, as the Church of England do not perform wedding ceremonies for divorcees (especially when former partners are still alive), however the Archbishop of Canterbury will officiate at a service immediately after the wedding for prayers and a blessing.
On his accession to the throne, Charles will become the defacto head of the Church of England (although his wife will not be Queen), all smacks a bit of hypocracy don't you think?
