Hi,

As some of you already know, in March 2011 I will be releasing information about what you all consider to be the best pubs in each town in the UK.

There’s lots of votes and reviews in already, but I thought I’d let you know about the final date for ratings (again!) – it will be the 28th of February.

So if you’ve not already rated your favourite pub, please feel free to do so.

Just visit my website here : http://www.pubutopia.com

Cheers!

Dale.

Hi all,

In March 2011 I will be releasing information about what you all consider to be the best pubs in a succinct bite-size guide for each town in the UK.

There’s loads of votes and reviews in already, but I thought I’d give you heads up about the final date for ratings – it will be the last day in February this year (28th).

So if you’ve not already rated your favourite pub, please feel free to do so.

Just visit my website here : http://www.pubutopia.com

Oh, and if you feel inclined to write a good review about the pub that would be just dandy. ;-)

Cheers!

Dale.

Hi all,

Last night Google showed the warning notice to visitors from about 23:00.

I was quickly informed of this,  and I’ve been working hard to address the issue.

I was not alone, other important (and much bigger!) websites also fell foul to the same issue.

I found the problem to be in the software that was used to serve ads (love ‘em or hate ‘em) on the website, so at around 7:30am this morning I removed all adverts and the software that was delivering them.

As this resolved the problem I then notified Google that the fix was in place, and this evening (around 21:00) they removed the warnings that were displayed to people when visiting the website.

Please note that no data on the site was compromised, and your personal details still remain private.

I do apologise for this, but rest assured, we are now up and running again.

If you have any queries about this, please raise a ticket at http://support.pubutopia.com and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

Cheers!

Dale.

Hi all,

On all pubs pages and town pages you will now find a facebook recommend button for each pub.

Clicking on this button will show your facebook friends that you recommend / like the pub and will show an image of the pub on your post (if we have one)!

You can also add a comment about the pub after you click on the button too …

Have fun,

Dale.
