I managed to get the postkiwi sites up and running again over the last 24 hours - it involved reinstalling a few files. But the dedicated server for www.duncans.tv won’t be up and running until Monday or Tuesday next week. Apologies to the people trying to access review posts (between 2000 and 3000 unique visitors a day) in the meantime. I notice some people are using Google’s caching capacity to see what was there before it all went offline.

In the last 24 hours Postkiwi.com and Duncans.TV sites have been in serious trouble. Duncans.TV was due to be transferred tonight to a new server but was suspended before I had the chance to do so, for going over CPU usage limits. So I’ve purchased a dedicated server deal. I’ve been trying to get the postkiwi.com sites ready to share the server with duncans.tv and in the process have run into difficulties here. What a pain! Hopefully by the end of the weekend it will be sorted out.

I’ve just sent out an update for Duncan’s TV Ad Land. It’s a monthly post of what should have been four weekly posts. Never mind.
Duncans TV Site Development
Posts now have words rather than numbers in the permalinks. It took a few days to get this right. I discovered that I really do need to have a date in the title to avoid mucking up RSS feeds.
All RSS subscriptions now are channeled through my Feedburner account, which gives users capacity to email, add to del.icio.us and submit to Digg. At last count there are 133 RSS subscribers.
I’ve added a favicon to the site - which means that in most browsers there’s a little television beside the title of each page.
I’ve started adding Technorati tags - though they’re invisible in the posts.
I’ve added a page of links to advertising agencies, under ‘About This Site’. More to come on production, edting, post production and sound/music companies.
You’ll notice that more recently every third ad has been connected with the FIFA World Cup. I’ve placed an asterisk beside those spots. The top search engine on Duncan’s TV works perfectly if you want to find these spots.
