I am the administrator for nextBlock.com, a directory of local
businesses. Thanks to a lot of the regulars in this group, we are
doing okay for ourselves and our customers. For example, googling for
Glendale Tires first result is nextBlock.com. We do NOT sell
products, only show a link to the merchants website, and or their
physical address.

We also send out a newsletter to about 10,000 opt-in recipients every
week. That newsletter usually features newer merchants by theme.
We're doing this to help the small business owner, and giving our
recipients possibilities. I try to find unique products that our
recipients might not have thought of.

As an independent web developer (I work from home, too), I always list
my clients on nextBlock.com, and if they happen to fit that weeks
topic, they might get featured in the newsletter as well.

I am inviting you to list your business (products/services), or your
client's business (with their permission, of course), with
nextBlock.com. At this time, we are US only. Maybe if there enough
requests, we could go international.

Thanks in advance ... back to our regularly scheduled program.

Nope, it's an invitation, just like I said. I've been reading and
posting to this group since 2001.

And... I'm not a guy

Thanks for the heads up on this. I am not the _server_ administrator
(although I think as of today I might have to be), and I just found
out that there is a misconfiguration in the way the name is resolved.
Did you type nextblock.com, www.nextblock.com or atlas.nextblock.com.
Both www and atlas take you there, without the subdomain it's a 404.
Grrrr!

Dear Adrienne, I clicked the link in your sig,
http://atlas.nextblock.com/files/ and got a 500. Then I tried just typing in
nexblock.com (the address you mentioned in the first line of your message.
It came up 404.

best,
Denise
