Weekly posts promoting your website are not necessary in this group.
Continually posting a link to your website to this group is a good way
to get people to killfile you. This group's recent bouts with
"Babyaware" and that idiot A. A. Fussy have hardened many to trying
software that hasn't been reviewed somehow. I personally am not going
to download your stuff and use it. You should try submitting them to a
reputable freeware website (for instance, Nonags, Snapfiles or
Freewarehome) for review first. Once somebody has tried your software
and likes it, they'll recommend it whenever somebody has a need for
kind of program. Also, your website will get good press because the
freeware site will usually link to it.

One more suggestion: you should run a spell checker on your webpage,
and learn proper grammar and capitalization. When people see such poor
grammar and spelling, it can tend to put them off from wanting to try
your programs.

Seconded.

And. I'm not going to give a mail address to anyone to get a list of
freeware when I have no clue as to what the list might consist of.

"tend"?? Hehehe

I figure that anyone that imprecise with text is at *least* as imprecise
with code. I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole.

a good .Idea also, wood be to maybe perhaps make a separate poast for yer
stuff. Seriously, though, what many authors do is create a new post, with
the name of the program in the subject line. In the body of the post, they
give a description of the program, including, perhaps, the size of the
program, compatible operating system, what the program does, etc.

I wager that it is English which is their first, and only, language.
From what I've observed, the weakest renditions of English come from
native speakers.

Adding a single space after the two dashes would help a lot.
That way many (most?) newsreaders can auto-delete the sigs from
replies.

This way your sig comes with the replies as you can see here.
