A while ago I had a mildly amusing idea, which was loosely inspired by the old www.tourettes.co.uk web site (gone now, sadly). The idea was to register various domain names that were misspellings of the word "dyslexia", and have each come up with a banner that read "learn to spell".

Of course, I never intended to put the idea into practice. It was an OK idea for a moment's amusement down the pub, but hardly something I'd want to be permanently associated with.

However, I did bother to write it down and make it one of these pages, with the helpful page title "dsylexia". I dumped the page on the site and forgot about it—after all, www.lurklurk.org is hardly the busiest site on the net, and the page was buried two links deep.

Turns out that this wasn't actually a particularly clever thing to do; a while later I got email complaining about the page. I couldn't figure out how anyone had found it...that is, until I tried a google search for "dsylexia" and found that my page was the top match.

Oops. How is it you spell "irony" again?

Now of course I'm hoping that Google's advice on how to avoid this page being indexed works...
