“…the mouse ran over to the computer clock…..” Ok, so it doesn’t make sense. I came across this website, a directory of directories of which to submit your url for free…..but, beware, as the quality of these directories is not yet known by me, anyway, since I’ve done no research - yet. http://www.auscan.biz/directories/submit-directories.html
