Last Thursday evening I have the privilege of talking to a larger audience than I was expecting at the stunning Fetcham Park for the Weddings in Surrey Tweetup event organised by Pamela Wallin and supported by Wedding Ideas Magazine. During the talk I covered a number of different subjects all to help people with their [...]
For my clients that are sick to death of hearing me go on and on about new content and blogging on a regular basis, I hate to be the one to say it but “I told ya so!” Last week Google released their new algorithm update (yes yet another one) this time called Freshness (lets [...]
This weekend I have spent my evenings and nights recovering a website!
