The Bournemouth cliff collapse over the weekend would seem
to be another very good reason for someone to do a survey on whether it’s safe
to build The Royal Sands under the unsupported cliff on the Pleasurama site in
Ramsgate.
What is really strange I suppose is why no one has built
apartments for people to live in on the council owned site between the cliff and the sea in
Bournemouth, I suppose one compensation for Bournemouth Council is not having
to deal with the relatives of the dead and injured.
I don’t really understand Facebook and Twitter, when I post
here on this blog it does automatically tweet the post and put a link to the
post on my Facebook page which means I have developed friends and followers.
Recently I have also linked some of the posts here to Facebook groups that
seemed relevant. The real snag with Facebook is the way it handles images,
particularly images of pages of text which I publish onto the internet and need
to be of high definition; enough to read.
With Blogger it’s different inasmuch as if I take a picture
of an A4 page of text with my mobile phone which automatically sends the
picture onto the internet it’s just a matter of a click in the bog publishing
page and the image will appear in the blog, so that when the reader clicks on it
the image gets big enough to read the text.
Today – well this morning – I had a bash with Twitter,
Tweeting what was I was actually doing? The confessions of a secondhand bookseller? see @michaelbookshop or https://twitter.com/michaelbookshop
how did this go? You ask? Well not that well really, taking a photo of books as
you price them then tweeting them with some information you have keyed into your mobile phone, well it
makes everything take much longer.
So St Luke’s church parish magazines for 1894, four pages to
a month, so 48 pages in all, this really is the anorak end of local history,
unless of course it mentions great granny and her activities with the St Luke’s
Girl’s Band of Hope, in which case it is a revelation and a link to the past.
So 48 photos with my mobile phone, took what two or three
mins to take, just before I sold it the book not the phone, and a couple of clicks to embed the pages in this
blog.
Click on them and they should expand, click on the expanded
page and it should expand again, if you are using a laptop or pc. With a phone
or tablet tap the page and when it has loaded you should be able to expand it
by moving your fingers apart on the picture of the page.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
