Hi,
There are now enough volunteers to keep the webpage going while I take a vacation from Rumor Mill and the Internet.
Zapper and a few others will be doing the html required for putting the hyperlinks from the Forum on the Front page.
Aside to Roguebutterfly and others who have never seen a banner ad:
The reason you don't see any ads is because you NEVER enter through the front page... this does TWO things... you don't get counted as a visitor... AND you never see the ads.
Keeping my numbers high on a counter is good for attracting advertizers. There is NO counter on the Forum... we have NO idea how many people visit the forum each day. For all we know we could have another two to three thousand readers who only enter through the forum entrance which they bookmarked ages ago. These readers are never counted!
So... if you are one of these people, please visit the front page of Rumor Mill... there are articles on the front page that have NEVER been on the Forum... You don't know what you are missing if you don't check out the Front page everyday!! Especially the financial page by Richard McClendon. It changes almost everyday!!
http://www.rumormillnews.com
And while you are there... remember to click!
Back to the message I want to give ALL Rumor Mill News Agents.
Since other people, besides myself, are going to be doing the html for the front page links, I am hoping that you can help make their job easier.
If you can put your headline, either in the subject line, or in the body of the text, in ALL CAPS, it will be appreciated. This way, whoever is doing the html can just copy and paste rather than retype your headline.
In the future, can you please remember to do this. It will do THREE things, it will make the Forum look nicer, it will make the job of the volunteers that much easier, AND it will make it much more likely that your article will make it to the front of Rumor Mill News's main page!! I have to admit... when I was doing the html for the frontpage, if I had a choice between two articles that I felt were equal, I would always choose the one that had the title in caps...
When you have little time to do things, you always choose the shortcuts, and having the title in caps is really a short cut for the person or persons who will be updating the front page!!
Thank you for your cooperation.
I still need some volunteers for indexing the Forum articles. if you have the time to pull up all 5,000 articles and begin the daunting task of indexing by category and author and subject, let me know by emailing me at
rayelan@aol.com
I will soon post a message detailing how the indexing of the forum will be done.
If you choose a category that you like, you will have your own page and will have to agree to keep it updated!! But, you can also put up your OWN banner or ad. If you are signed up under me as a distributor of Dr. Wallach's products, you can put this banner up, or your Prepaid Legal banner.
If you haven't taken the time to check out what Prepaid Legal offers, please click on the link. Not only will your membership do YOU a lot of good and save you a lot of money in legal advice and mistakes you could have made WITHOUT legal advice, but it will help me because I get a VERY healthy commission for each membership I sell. I have often talked about how much I use my membership. If I had to pay a lawyer each time I called Prepaid, I would have thousands of dollars of legal fees each month. Needless to say, with a lawyer just a telephone call away, I feel VERY comforted. And if ever one of the people who has threatened to sue Rumor Mill goes through with their threat, I know that PrePaid will cover it at NO cost to me!! In this day and age, WHO can afford to be without a Prepaid Legal Plan?
I will soon be creating a page which will list all the Prepaid and Dr. Wallach people who have signed up under me. The page will list the states where these people live. This way, if you want to sign up under someone who is close to you, and work with them to make your businesses that much better, you can do so!

I will also be creating a new T-shirt page at Cafepress.com for volunteers and donors. This will be a page that will have everything at cost plus $1.00.
Here is the link to the page with the normal prices so you can see what is offered:

BTW, I still need a volunteer to handle the Rumor Mill News store!! If you want to know what this entails, email me!!
rayelan@aol.com
As you can see, the Rumor Mill News Readers and Agents have saved Rumor Mill... It will not go away, in the near future!!
I will be taking about a month off because I have to move. Plus, one aspect of my is closing down and another one opening up... which means reports and then getting used to a new project!!
I will be gone most of the month of June, (moving) and maybe part of July!! Zapper will be holding things together as well as Agent777 and other volunteers!
Thank you for proving to me that Rumor Mill is loved enough to stay around!!
