Thread: oh well you've got to try enough hits and you're rich

in a recent post
http://www.helpmeexcel.com/
well i'm off to start my own web site
i think

"did you know that if you want to add 2 numbers together
use in a cell =1+1"

(i'll include a jpg of a cell to really illustrate the point as an added bonus)
is a good staring point ,but i'm open to input.
add a few advertisments then thats it !enough hits and i'l retire early(ish)

It's far better than my non-existant Excel Help site. Wait, there's errors on that site. Maybe not. :/

Ricardo told me off for telling OP that he/she should have the link in their signature rather than in their post ... he considered it a breach of the new Rule 13 re: competitors... really ?! A sad indictment on us all if that is indeed the case.

I've lost count of how many blogs I've seen of this ilk... if you're going to blog at least make it top end - ie covering the freakish and unusual.
But as Paul says something's better than nothing so credit where credit's due.

i'm only taking the mick,btw is that a blog?,how do you do one? in the words of a certain Manuel "i know nothing"

I love the REVERSE_FIND function on there. Not only does it return the position of the end of the find string rather than the start - why?? - but it also fails to use InStrRev for some reason (and I don't believe 97 compatibility is it!)

Even at that, I don't know how they get 18... I count 17... unless there is a space up front.. (in that case, the so called excel expert needs to learn about not putting extra spaces in the text)...

I enjoyed the Conditional Formatting formula - must remember that one as just using Search() would make the formula waaaayyyyy too short and unimpressive.

I didn't even go that far down the website to see that...

that is indeed a douser...

I'm thinking we should all dedicate an hour to post feedback...

ohhh man!

It's not just the content - even the grammar is lacking a little something...
(Please excuse my hypocrisy as I butcher some punctuation! )

...Or perhaps grammar is the area where they are trying for the "freakish and unusual" - unfortunately for the pandas amongst us (who don't "eat, shoot & leave"), sentences like some on that site, are starting to be more common, than they are unusual.

found this in a post, I think it must be the site owner
