the difference

I am marketing a county (only they dont know it yet) in order to get little
firms into my design clutches. IMHO people cant use phones properly yet,
only just getting faxes and people are selling them the internet?? I
applaud those who sell the integration of their business with this new tool
rather than sell web pages!

My main decision has been to name my web site &lt;herefordshire.com&gt;. I live
in Herefordshire (UK) and I have a company.

Two things I have read but seen very few people take up; 1) to Joe Public
the name must be simple. Where was that site - oh yes,
hhht;\\ohxc~j_/etc.etc. or something?? Joe Public thinks locally and he's
the customer. Joe Public is more likely to remember where you're from than
your usually unmemorable company name (unless you're a big company, or well
branded).

Unfortuneatly the UK naming board wouldn't pass &lt;herefordshire.co.uk&gt; so it
had to be .com!

2) The web is a mess, as we all know, and so, even with yahoo and the like
sensible grouping has to be a way forward. Definitive sites on magic, or
marketing, or whatever, are one way but with the major problem of bandwidth
a local developing page is better than a distant site or your own hotlist.

Local? I don't know if it's better for the US but I am fed up with sitting
for five minutes in the middle of pages, or jumps whilst connections are
made and remade. Joe Public just isn't going to sit there.

Hence: is it OK to download someones page, ones that are so superb you just
have to show them others, and put them on your own server for instant
access - changing the links, of course to get out again? A bit like
mirroring?
