Hmmm Hungry Jack's
Well, it's a nice Sunday, the suns out and Ive been in front of this thing since I woke up at 2:00pm this afternoon. It's now 5:57pm. I've read heaps of interesting things and done some fiddley little updates to the main site. I'm thinking Hungry Jack's. There's one not far away, and I'm a regular customer. It's better than MacDonalds, although I go there a fair bit aswell, altho not as much recently becuse I'm trying to get a bit more healthy. Hungry Jacks have fresh salad and tomatoes and things like that, I just recon it's a better feed. Probably just as unhealthy tho. I'm about to haul my lazy ass thru the drive-thru and get a large Ozzie burger meal. It will be good to see what's happening outside too:) I'm not even dressed yet. Still wearing a towel. I love it. Sunday, my only day off.

Spell Checking your Site is important
I've just finished the tedious task of running a spell-check on the descriotions database for our main product site. It's a horrible thing to do, but I found well over a thousand mistakes. Mainly just typographical errors from putting in a couple of hundred products a day.
If a user lands on your page, after doing a specific search on Google for your product, and they see a basic word spelled incorrectly, they may or may not look down on the site, why take the risk. Besides, it looks unprofessional.
I have also heard that correct spelling can contribute to a better ranking on the search engines. I don't know if this is because if you spell the work correctly, it is more likely to be searched for, or if Google runs a filter of some kind to penalize sites that have poor spelling. I wouldn't be surprised if they do to some extent, as it would be a good way to sort poorly prepared "slapped togeather sites (like this one:) from the serious professional ones.
