Lay My Hat

I think it can help to have testimonials, but only with real names and the places people come from. However, this is only possible after asking for permission. I would not put a guestbook on the website, because I have seen guestbooks totally spammed. Therefore, the only way to avoid that is to copy...

This is beautifully worded Alan!

you will have to be carefull in one way, and that is that you might need a special permit or your house needs to fit certain criteria for the Italian Authorities to allow you to rent it out for the holiday. I am afraid I do not know the details and possibly in your case all is within the norm, but m...

Alan, here I totally agree, because in this sense the agent is adding value in a totally different way. Marketing only is not very usefull any longer (once house owners start to know about the directories on the internet - I guess within a very short period). Doing maintenance and taking care of all...

I am a sort of an agent for Umbria, but I so far only deal with Italian owners, because they do not speak foreign languages and could never answer enquiries. However, I would not see the point for anybody who speaks english, to pay an agent a commission on a week booked if they could just sign up fo...

Hi Tony,

better late than never!

Thanks a lot for your remarks. I have not looked at the /b/index.htm and therefore had not noticed a thing!

Will do the error page of course, that is the only thing making any sense.

Many thanks,

will check the incoming links! That is a good idea.
Thanks,

NEWS: I received a very fast reply from my provider. They have advised me to make a subdirectory and put my home page in there, so however goes to the non existing directory, will now get to my home page. They have also said that I could denounce these abnormalities to a certain Italian entity and t...

Hi Vrooje, have no idea how to link to my statistics program, because it is all password protected. Did contact my service provider but they just say it is something the search engines do. I had some sub-directories before that I did not know of. However, the one in the images folder happens to be t...

hope somebody on this forum can explain some strange things happening with my website, I found out about after looking at the statistics. I seem to have directories in my website that I did not make and it seems there is a lot of traffic going to these. I have tried to find what it is, but no idea. ...

have set the idea aside, too complicated and I don't think it is nice to give guests something which is officially not allowed. That does not give a excellent impression.
Thanks for the feedback.

now, I thought probably one needed to pay, butthe next question is ... who would find out? I sometimes copy some music on a CD and give it to a friend. Is that also not allowed?

was thinking maybe to make a CD of some less known italian music and give my guests a copy, as a reminder.
Problem is that I think I am not allowed to just do this by law, because I probably will have to pay the rights.
Any thoughts about this?

many thanks!

I have the € symbol on my keybord, but often in email messages it changes into something very strange, therefore, I just stick to using E or Euro.

am now in the phase where the 'modem' was delivered and all reasonably in time. Waiting for the technician now. Am really curious how this works out.
