27. April 2011
I’m going to take as my inspiration today, a post by a friend & coach, Wendy Ager, who did a very useful talk at my networking meeting yesterday, and then blogged about one of her points, “Knowledge is Power“, today. It got me thinking about how much we forget we DO know… about life, the [...]

20. April 2011
Do you wonder what people are saying about on the world wide web?

18. April 2011
Today I’m going to write a little more personally about business, instead of yet another (admittedly handy!!) technical tip. It’s all very well having loads of technical know-how and marketing tips, or knowing a fair bit about social media or SEO, but sometimes being in business on your own can just be tough! And having [...]

9. February 2011
It seems to be the week to rant …. firstly about scammers… and now about hackers. One of my clients has had her business site hacked & destroyed, and we’re having to get it going from backups.

7. February 2011
A word of advice… DO NOT GO ANYWHERE NEAR the Domain Renewal Group (DRG), if you do happen to receive a letter from them!!!!! They are a bunch of scam-artists – a friend is still struggling to get back her money from them. Funnily enough I received a letter from them today too, as did [...]
