If you were following my tweets in late May/early June, you may have read that I was at Phill Turner’s “Ministry of Traffic” event 10 days ago, listening to a brilliant line-up of speakers teaching us how they get more visitors to their websites… and we all know, provided you have a good call to [...]

I’ve been working on a new package for some of my website clients, to help them get started with Social Media accounts. For people not yet into the world of Social Media, it can seem quite overwhelming, and a bit trivial! After all, we’ve all heard the stories about people diarising their every move, and [...]

Oh no! I’ve just been “blocked” by Twitter – I can’t follow any more people until I either unfollow some people, or get more of YOU to follow ME! I can hope that the 2nd option will happen… but I can DO something about the first! And I prefer to be able to take action… [...]
