Is there a difference between "rundt" and "omkring" (as both seem to have the meaning "around")?

Thanks for the clarification! But could you tell me the meaning of the examples? I just can't figure it out with the literal translation... Takk :)
Forvo is still pending a pronunciation of "her" but you can try listening to this (http://forvo.com/word/v%C3%A6re_her/#no) compared to this (http://forvo.com/word/har/#no). As someone mentioned is seems that "har" has more of an 'ah' sound.
Some of the vowels sound a lot a like. I'm using this page http://www.learn-norwegian.net/pronunciation/pronunciation.htm#current to learn how to say the vowels.

That is true for Norwegian as well, it is not a full sentence. Yes, it would be a natural answer to a question like that. "Hvor er det?" (Where is it?) "Her omkring?" or "Er det her?" (It's here?) If not spoken, the question would be implied.

I typed har omkring and it was accepted, with no indication of there being a typo. This has happened several times recently: a response containing an error is marked correct, with no further comment.
