Google recognizes us!

We have won a small victory today...Google now returns our site as a result when you search for it. It's true, you still get a tonne of results about Jon Stewart mocking Canada, but we're right there on the first page!

Now if you search "stuart & john from canada", stuart & john from canada blog, or lastoke.ca, you get our site as a result! Soon you won't even have to remember our address...just the very specific set of search terms that will actually return a result...

A Moment Of Your Time...

Hey everyone!

It's two in the morning on Day T-12, and I just want to take a moment of your time to talk about the website...

I've spent the past few hours changing a couple things here and there on the About Us page, specifically in the trip and contact sections.

Here's the thing: as I finished and wrapped everything up, I realized that the flash file that the page uses is now gigantic. Humongous. Family-sized.

Now, that said, I haven't had a problem with loading it. But here's where you come in...

If you notice any problems with the site - i.e., dead links, exceptionally long load times, jittery pages, fuzzy pictures/words or poor quality - let me know so that I can spend another long night fixing it (you can either email me at john@lastoke.ca or comment on this post). After all, the whole site is sort of pointless if it takes fifteen minutes to load one page.

Thanks a lot for your help!

John from Canada
