Don’t have a web site, but need somewhere to temporarily upload a pic or file? Upload it here and you get a temporary URL to use. Goodness only knows who’s gonna use this, but no doubt someone will.

Old BBC and ITV logos. The campaign against DOGs (that’s ‘digitally originated graphics’ to you) and much more about the evolution of British television.

The first site is all about how to write properly. The second is a guide to slangy English. Take thy pick…

Loads of useful info for UK telly addicts here. Transmitter information, so you know why your picture has gone all fuzzy; stuff about digital and Freeview. Well worth a look.

A simple standards-based slideshow system.

It’s relatively easy to set up. Only a few lightweight files to download. Choice of different looks available. Very elegant, if you ask me. (Whaddya mean, you didn’t ask me?)

If you haven’t heard of this one before, where on earth have you been–and can you supply your latitude and longitude co-ordinates? These guys can. And you can also get your blog listed here for free. All you have to do is add a couple of meta tags to your page. Couldn’t be simpler. Geo whiz! It’s brilliant!

Another one of those IP lookup sites. I like this one though. Easy to use. No faffing about. The ‘NW’ bit means ‘network’ unless I’m very much mistaken. (I usually am.)

Can’t remember how I found this. I’m not the world’s most knowledgable person when it comes to poetry. Sometimes just having these links makes me feel more cultured. One day I’ll get around to reading them all. Meanwhile, you might be best to disable JavaScript if you go to this site as some links go to Angelfire, which has script ad banners.

One of the best clipart sites I’ve seen for a long time. Much easier and faster to use than most other clipart sites. Recommended.
