Re: Someone please look at my site

To all:

<note>
In case you run into somebody who needs help with topics that are beyond
the basics handled over at Google's Product forums, please feel free to
send him/her/them through to Aaron Bradley's Google+ Semantic Search
Marketing: https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/103048251221048356778

There's a growing number of folks over there (like myself) who help each
other out for free (or at least most of the time), thus helping all to
learn by publicly sharing knowledge.

I apologize if plugging this community on the list is not done, but I just
felt I had to do it. If you agree - awesome - please spread the word. If
you don't agree, I understand, and please trust me when I say I won't make
a habit of doing this.
