Where are all the UK posters?

[moonwitch]

I'm surprised you think the majority of posters are American, it's always been America's contention that we're all British. ;o) It does seem a bit unlikely that US out-numbers UK, to be honest.

Google does not like all capitals - however, a test earlier this month showed that if headings are done in caps, they reach Google changed into mixed case. I don't know who changes them during the upload, eBid or Google, but somebody is.

A tag is just a keyword associated with a post.

PLEASE folks, WHAT is a tag???

wikipeia define a tag as.....

In online computer systems terminology, a tag is a non-hierarchical keyword or term assigned to a piece of information (such as an Internet bookmark, digital image, or computer file). This kind of metadata helps describe an item and allows it to be found again by browsing or searching. Tags are generally chosen informally and personally by the item's creator or by its viewer, depending on the system.

I think you're the only person who can see me. It must be because we're on the same hill. ;o)

I think you could be right...I am on this hill so often that I am scared to leave now

I know... but why use 10 words when wikipeia uses 67 :-)

Except for Meebo, who usually gets up in the UK around my bedtime. Sometime in the middle of the night there. (wink) I hate the new smilies.

But you're right . . . not many people posting by 9:00 pm Pacific time.

Yes, I've met meebo in the stupid corner just as she's getting up and I'm going to bed. lol

We're on mountain daylight here.

Yes OP
I would have thought that the UK has more posters on here than the USA.
But i do think the USA is catching up !

There are a few Australians on here.
But I think i am the only New Zealander.

It would be good if we had a few French people from France,(we do have some UK ex pats)
And some from Germany etc etc etc (but not German soccer players)

Also, I have just read on another thread, that Google rejects any titles in capitals?

The use of excessive capitalisation in listing titles is against Google Products policy - and is grounds for them refusing submissions.

Admin did warn about this a short time ago.

However, admin now appears to be 'correcting' titles prior to submission to Google Products(GP). They also seem to be doing a very poor job of it by turning all but the initial capital letter to lower case. This means the likes of names and proper nouns are being corrupted.

An example from one of your items:

On eBid: MADHUR JAFFREY'S INDIAN COOKERY PB

On GP: Madhur jaffrey's indian cookery pb

Clearly Jaffrey and Indian should start with a capital but eBid has removed it.
