Hi Kickster!

Nice page you've got there.  A few comments to help you improve it: on your buttons with red text on white, you have "Sumbit it" instead of "Submit it".  Also, the buttons don't really match in terms of colour and the alignment of the text.  If you like, I could make you some new matching ones quickly and cheaply, email me if you're interested.

I like how you allow people to choose what search engines they'd like to submit to, and that you give the search engine's confirmation page.  We have a search engine submission script at http://www.leafwind.com/FreeResource...rlsubmit.shtml
and it is set up in a similar way, so that the user chooses what search engines to submit to, and gets to see the results from each search engine. I think it's the only responsible way to do it.  

However, being responsible means more work, and the example is already on your page.  Many search engines change their "add url" field names regularly, "breaking" submission scripts like these.  I have to completely check ours at least every two weeks to see what's changed.  Last night I noticed Google no longer accepts submissions from my script, and I checked it on yours and found the same problem.

If I find the fix for Google today, I'll email it to you, or if you find it first, I'd really appreciate if you could email me at leafwind@leafwind.com .  We might be able to halve each other's work with maintaining these finickity projects that way!

Good luck with it!

Hi again Kickster!

I checked out the script you're using -- much nicer than the one I started with and hacked into something usable (how I learned most of the Perl I now know).  I see they've already got an update with the proper Google submission all ready for you to snag.  They're also using the same solution for it that I thought I tried last night -- when I went to tackle the problem, I realized I had uploaded my updated file into the wrong dir oops . . . anyway, all working now.

Sure, I haven't actually done buttons trades before, but I'm willing.  How about if I put it at the end of my submission script, featuring your full pay service?  Meantime, given the nature of your site, your visitors probably won't be too interested in another web designer, so I may make up a button featuring our Free Graphics area.  Where do you put your buttons?  Prefered dimensions?  Let me know.
