My workload has been steadily increasing over the last few months and I have had to take action to alleviate this. In the short-term this has added, and will continue to add, even more work; however, I expect it will prove to be beneficial in the long term. It is no small step going from (essentially) a sole-trader to a 2 or 3 person business. I am pleased to announce that the first milestone has … [Read more...]

It exists as a solution to the issues remaining when the … [Read more...]
I attended the SEO seminar by Silverbean this afternoon... It was at the RMT (the accountants) offices. It was pretty good, and did go into some detail about keyword densities and anchor text.

It's barely wide enough for a pram and is a popular lorry … [Read more...]

The export/import process was pretty easy and fixing up the categories/tags switch up just required a simple plugin. It's probably better for SEO that the blog and store site sit in separate url silo's. There … [Read more...]
I've gone completely WordPress (3.0) loopy. I am currently also working on embedding a WordPress blog into a Magento e-commerce site. Getting a dab hand at it, and will post the link when its complete. I've decided to keep the database and file hierarchy separate for security reasons. Doing this sacrifices the sophisticated caching mechanism available in Magento. I will therefore need to look at … [Read more...]
So I'm posting this image via posterous. It is going (in theory) to my blog, to linked-in and to flickr. It is an image of Ella soon after collecting her pink Barbie bike from freecycle. … [Read more...]
