One thing that we have noticed at CBD-Search, while processing new submissions, is that there are a lot of churches without any form of location details on their website. Many websites don't need to list an obvious address, but for websites that exist to promote a specific location (e.g. bookshops, churches, local councils), surely it is counter-productive Hayden Andrewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06393085668504184673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23179044.post-62963703385869150022008-03-26T13:50:00.001+07:002008-03-26T13:50:06.772+07:00Special Thanks There are a number of people who support us in various ways, from just making use of our services through to making donations to help with the development of CBD-Search and associated projects.
