April 15, 2006: Additions to biography, discography

We will continue to add to the website as and when new material comes to hand. In the meantime, please tell your friends about our site!!!

Many thanks to Jenny Grainer for updating our biography of Ron. As time goes by we hope to be expanding it considerably and also adding photos.

March 21, 2006: Googled?
We are making a concerted effort to improve the Google search ranking for this site. It is already number 1 on msn.com but very low indeed on Google and not a great deal better on Yahoo.

We think we have done all the right things to boost its ratings, via links from other sites etc., but have made little impact to date.

Searching under "Ron Grainer website" makes a big difference - we are actually no. 1 on Google - but we need it to work with just a "Ron Grainer" search.

Feel free to suggest anything to Webmaster Ruud!!
