Hello everyone,
Might I just say, welcome and thank you everyone who has helped give the site a boost over the last few days, in particular tonight, or last night as it is now the wee hours of the morning! We have had a significant amount of new submissions to the website, and quite a few number of new site members.
Let's keep up the good work guys!
Have a good day

Good Evening,
Tomorrow morning, I am going into the GMTV NI News studios in order to record a brief interview outlining the purposes and history of IrishSlang.info.
The interview will be aired soon after this, during the morning news broadcast. I am currently unsure of the actual air time, but I will keep everyone informed.
After the interview is aired, the video will be placed into our videos section.
Watch this space
Sincerely
Barry Flood

Hello again,
This week not a whole lot has been done, Barry has spent some time developing video clips for the website, these will be available in the next few weeks. These clips include well known celebrities such as Colin Murphy, Jake O'Kane, Keith Law & Keith Farnan! Hopefully over the next few weeks we will have even more names associated with IrishSlang.info!
Aswell as that, we have begun development of our shop. So far there are a few products available for viewing, but not for purchase. Keep checking back for more information!
Well, thats it I suppose!
Until next time, have a good day

Hello Again!
Yes I know, its been a while since I have written an update for my blog! Last time I wrote I was in a shock about how large a response the website got! Well recently we have been seeing a steady throughflow of traffic to the site. So its been pretty good this last while! I have been out promoting the website over the past few week in various places. For example, the Empire comedy club has been kind enough to introduce the website during their gigs and have asked the audience members to take part in submission of the slang terms! As Tesco say, every little helps!
Anyway, thats all for now, i'll check in again some time soon.
Ned

Hello everyone!
Well, what can I say? the website has really taken of, with 150 genuine site members in such a short space of time, I cannot be prouder. The website currently has over 550 unique slang terms which have been submitted by our members. Lets keep this going, lets try and create the most comprehensive dictionary of Irish terms. Not all terms have to be funny! even household terms are welcome on the site! If you have any difficulty in using the website, or don't quite fully understand the process for submitted new slang terms, do not fret! very shortly a help guide will be developed and put online for all to see. Well, thats it for now.
Barry
