May died Sunday of congestive heart failure at a hospital in Lancaster, said his daughter, Deborah May.

He was a veteran actor and stuntman who had appeared in movies, TV shows and on the vaudeville stage when he was tapped by “Lost in Space” creator Irwin Allen to play the Robinson family’s loyal metal sidekick in the series that debuted in 1965.

“He always said he got the job because he fit in the robot suit,” said June Lockhart, who played family matriarch Maureen Robinson. “It was one of those wonderful Hollywood stories. He just happened to be on the studio lot when someone saw him and sent him to see Irwin Allen about the part. Allen said, ‘If you can fit in the suit, you’ve got the job.’”

Although May didn’t provide the robot’s distinctive voice (that was done by announcer Dick Tufeld), he developed a following of fans who sought him out at memorabilia shows.

“Lost in Space” was a space-age retelling of “The Swiss Family Robinson” story in which professor John Robinson, his wife and their children were on a space mission when their craft was knocked hopelessly off course by the evil Dr. Zachary Smith, who became trapped in space with them.

May’s robot was the Robinson family’s loyal sidekick, warning them of approaching disaster at every turn. His line to one of the children, “Danger, Will Robinson,” became a national catch phrase.

So we are all getting older by the day, that is almost too obvious to mention, and with it our appearance and mobility are changing as well, and not for the better either. Some people are lucky enough and wealthy enough to be able to fight aging with the surgeons scapel but the majority of us do not have this advantage.

The one obvious sign of aging is the deterioration in our skin quality, our aging skin is a give away of our age. You may be regretting all those days on the beach in hot spots around the world when you were younger because time has caught up with you.

We may not be able to reverse the aging of our skin or our bodies but we can help to slow it down by the application of good advice from an authority on anti aging. There are many websites offering good and sound advice but one excellent site that I often visit is Simply Anti Aging.

Eileen, your host, is a mature lady herself who lives with the problems of aging as all us other older people do as well. She not only lives with it but offers sound advice on all aspects of aging, from skin care to healthy lifestyle, anti aging nutrition and supplements and right down to those ugly ’spider veins. She has a complete anti aging site - packed full of anti aging tips, treatments and techniques to help you look younger and feel fantastic - whatever your age.

Simply Anti Aging is well laid out and is up to date on the latest news and products that are available to do what we can to help our bodies. There are so many creams, serums and moisturizers available that it is nice to have them summarized on the site for easy reading.

‘Beauty and age are never just skin deep. Take a look at anti aging from the inside out�?�.’ is one of the opening lines on the site and is a great introduction to what can be found inside. You really should visit this site, you owe it to your body to do so and I think you will be pleased that you did.

First of all let’s make one thing clear, a blog is a website, in fact it can better be called a dynamic website. In the early days of blogging a blog looked like a blog and it was easy to recognize it. Now, with the development and constant improvement of blog themes and templates, it is virtually impossible to tell them apart. Traditional websites are known as static websites.

Blog is short for web log and is a constantly updating content managing system (CMS) arranged in reverse chronological order with the most recent update or post showing at the top, just below the site header. Visitors to your site will immediately see your most recent post as your site opens.

Once your blog is up and running you can add text, audio and video almost immediately and equally edit your posts just as quickly. Compared to this traditional websites are slow and tedious to publish and maintain. Once you are familiar with blog software and themes then you can easily manually install a new blog in minutes.

Blogs originated as ‘web logs’ or online diaries for enthusiasts to record and make public their day to day activities. The benefits of blogs soon became apparent and now more and more people, webmasters online businesses and companies use blogs for their websites.

It is much easier to optimize your site for the search engines with a blog.
With the way that blogs are designed and with the use of add on ‘plugins’ they are much better optimized and are found and indexed much more quickly by the search engines than static websites. Blogs show up much more often in organic searches than static websites. By default blogs are updated more often, search engines will crawl them easily and they love fresh content.

Each time you post to your blog you do, automatically, what is known as ‘pinging’ the update services. Pinging is the process of letting search engines and other sites know that new content has been added with an invite for them to come and take a look. This facility is not available with static sites.

Blogs allow you to interact with your readers and get their feedback since blogs give you the option of enabling a comments field to your posts to allow for feedback which gives you the chance to interact with your readers and add extra content to your blog.

Blogging software is free to download as are many themes or templates to make your blog more individual. As with many things, better quality and optimized themes cost money and are known as premium themes. However, there is no need to buy these themes as many are freely available. Blogs can be hosted for free but it is better to pay for your own hosting to have more control and hosting can be had for less than $8 per month.

For the cost of purchasing a domain name for $9 and paying your first month’s hosting fee you can get your first blog site up and running for $17. It can be cheaper than that infact but it is not reccommended to go down the road of free hosting and domain names. I will be writing more on this in another post.

Bloggers establish credibility faster than static site owners because blogs build a stronger and dynamic knowlegebase. As a blog is a CMS content is found much more easily than navigating through a static site.

Blogs have so many advantages, some mentioned above and some more advanced that they will be touched on in later posts, that it is no wonder that blogs are the websites of choice. One blog system, known as WordPress, stands head and shoulders above all other. Users of other systems might not agree with this, but I do and from now on all reference to blogging and CMS means WordPress and that is what I will be concentrating on.

Before I finish this article I would just like to mention that if you already have a static website do not despair as a blog can easily be added to you website with all the advantages that it can bring.
