    Thanks for your question. It's a site providing advice on various aspects of gardening.

    Edit: Just taken a look at your own site (thank you by the way for linking to my site) which is very informative and carries some interesting material - the link is much appreciated.

    If by commercial you mean are there adverts then yes there are (a bit like the Google Adsense on yours - although I don't use that) as I run many sites which cost me a lot in hosting etc and I look to recoup my costs.

    Regards

    Paul

    Thanks for the messages. To clarify for you - yes there is an option on any blog created with wordpress to subscribe to the RSS Feed.

    My sites are not commercial - I am a private individual who aims to provide high quality information on websites which I pay to have hosted. I endeavour to cover my costs by carrying advertisements. Unlike many others I do not carry Google Adsense adverts on my blogs and therefore do not receive an income stream from Google.

    Kindest Regards

    Paul

    Just a quick thank you to all that have been visiting my little blog! In the first couple of months it's gone from 0 to about 1,000 visitors a day - which is amazing!

    Thanks again to those who have been visiting.

    Take care

    Paul

    Given that we haven't been able to do much in the garden with the recent weather I have been giving the blog a bit of a makeover!

    I think it's looking good :)

    Take care
