Obviously those regular users of Paranormal Times will notice we’ve been making a few changes around here with the way free websites are hosted. Previously if you create a free website you would get something like:

http://paranormaltimes.co.uk/free-website

Well now we’re offer free sub domains for all websites so now your website url will be:

http://free-website.paranormaltimes.co.uk

Over the coming weeks we’ll be extending this further so that website owners will have the choice to use our sub domain or their own domain name, yeah thats right you will be able to have your own domain name for your own website! You’ll also be able to remove our advertising thus create a white label solution for your website where no one will know who provides the service you get.

In addition to using your own domain name and removing our advertising you will also have a choice of more domain names form us including:

http://paranormalblog.net

If you already have a website you may notice that some images are not showing from within your articles and pages, this could be due to the url change. Most likely your image url will look like the following:

Explosion Fright Night – The Anthony Nolan Trust – Saturday 8th May 2010

8:29 pm in Charity by admin

Over the years its been very rare that we at Ghosts-UK ask anything of our members however we’ve been made aware of a charity event which we feel needs your support!

With special guest Dr Ciarán O’Keeffe from Most Haunted!

We’ve all lost someone we care about, in the last 5 years alone I’ve personally lost over 5 people I know and love, three of my close family members passed away from some form of cancer. Lets make a difference and lets help raise some funds for worthy cause.

Even if you can’t make the event I’m pretty sure you could make a small donation direct to the charity for this event.

And now I’ll pass you over to Tim Brown from the Paranormal Investigation Group Sussex otherwise know as the P.I.G.S.

Date: Saturday 8th May 2010
Location: Gosport, Hampshire

Don’t forget our special guest is Dr Ciarán O’Keeffe from Most Haunted!

Do you dare to spend the night at Explosion – the museum of naval fire power?

The location is Explosion – the museum of naval fire power in Priddy’s Hard, Gosport. Explosion is the award winning museum of naval warfare created within 18th century buildings at the Royal Navy’s former Armament Depot.

Sightings of ghosts have been reported over the years at the former Armaments Depot, where Explosion is now based. Historical research has uncovered 12 deaths in the 18th and 19th centuries. Sightings of many of the unfortunate souls have been rumoured by former workers of the Royal Navy Armaments Depot. It has been reported that the stain of munitions worker Edward George Mc Bride who was killed in a blast in 1922 reappears on the wall of the room that stood directly over the site of the explosion.

Your challenge is to spend the night in this haunted location to try and encounter paranormal activity. The experience includes a tour of the location, use of ghost hunting equipment and an overnight investigation. You will be joined by a psychic medium and Dr. Ciarán O’Keeffe. Dr. CiaránO’Keeffe is a lecturer in parapsychology and TV paranormal investigator in Living TV’s ‘Most Haunted’ and ‘Jane Goldman Investigates’ where he provides a sceptical voice and regularly battles with all manner of mediumistic communication. You will also be joined by experienced paranormal investigators The Paranormal Investigation Group of Sussex (P.I.G.S).

Make-A-Wish Foundation® have teamed up with Fright Nights to bring you what could be the paranormal event of the year raising funds for a charitable cause.

I was contacted by Francesca Towson today whom was looking to promote this good cause, now although I’m no fan of commercial companies such as ‘Fright Nights’, I still see and understand the need to raise funds and whom better than Make-A-Wish foundation®.

Anyway she wanted me to post a press release so here are the details from their website.

Oh one last thing, if you can’t make their event, then why not consider just donating direct to them, every penny counts, if you do manage to attend their event you’ll have a hard decision to make, and that would be which on of the fantastic locations to go.

First of all the text:

Just another Paranormaltimes.co.uk weblog

Can be changed to something of your liking, this is a tag line, a slogan and can be anything you want it to be. You can make these changes in your admin area, just click on the ‘Options’ tab, and make sure your in the ‘General’ sub-ta, you’ll see the options in there.

Every new site that is created has some default info generated, just to show you what it could look like, one of the default parts is ‘Links’ you will notice that it adds links to Paranormal Times and SJBowers, if you want to remove these just go into your admin area, click on the ‘Blogroll’ tab and you can add or remove links there.

Don’t forget you can also change or delete the first post it’s comments and the about section. You can also create as many pages, blogs and posts as you wish.

Have  fun with your new sites :smile:

Changes because of spammers

2:18 pm in Paranormal Community Sites, Paranormal Times News by admin

We’ve only just launched Paranormal times and have so far had an influx of spammers, which means we’ve had to change the way some of our free services work.- New websites won’t be shown on our front page any longer

- Updated websites won’t be shown on our front page any longer

- Tutorials have been delayed whilst we deal with spammers.

+ We will now show all the latest PT news on the front page as a content filler.

We’ve made these changes to ensure that if someone signs up to create a spam site, they will not be seen on our front page, allowing us to deal with these freaks of nature behind closed doors, well ok partially closed, as you can still see through the gaps ;-)

Active Blogs

You will only show in this block if you are one of the more active sites, this is determined by how many blogs you make.

Recent PT Blogs

Everytime you make a blog you will be shown in this block, however your first 5 blogs/news releases will not be shown, this is another way to tackle spammers, as most only make one or two posts.
