 Hi All - I've created this blog to provide a redirect from an old Google indexed link to my main blog i.e. vivweb01.blogspot.com...please click the link below to access the blog.

I'll also be posting some of my more recent blogs/updates here to whet your appetites - there's plenty more on the main blog.

You'll also find a wide range of pages on my website at:

where you can also download some useful utilities for offline use.

Why did I need to do this ?

Unbenownst to many, Google quietly changed their indexing algorithm significantly in May 2025, such that many sites, including both my blog and website, lost their index entries - you can read more about the consequences of this for anyone with a 'susceptible' blog or website by using this link.

Read the blog article to see what you can do about it if you've been caught unawares....

They have amassed a large following of dedicated reader fans since then, and have proven themselves robust and long-lasting devices, and the preferred vehicle for reading eBooks.  Amazon have been steadily deprecating their older devices for the past couple of years, but there has been considerable concern voiced amongst the Kindle fan-base over the recent 'final' announcement   by Amazon that they are withdrawing support from their older devices from May 20th. This means that readers will then no longer be able to use them to buy books from Amazon or access any books they have stored in the Amazon cloud. The range of devices affected is quite significant .
