Skip my long, drawn out story below if you like, and just go and see the new Wellington Federation of Sports Clubs web site, setup by me using Drupal and a few tweaks. A huge improvement over the old site, and some additional improvements to be made yet. I’m hopeful though, that it [...]

After my rant the other day, I come into work this morning with a typical example of the appaling link exchange requests I get. Have a read, company name and that xxx out of course.

Thanks to Diane I’ve now installed and set the Subscribe to Comments plugin from Scripty Goddess.
So now, when you leave a comment (and please leave one!) you can subscribe to get an email when others post a comment on the same post. Good stuff!

I’ve just read FantoMaster’s reprint of an article by Aaron Wall about that most annoying of subjects in the SEO world, White Hat Vs Black Hat. Once again I’m left pissed off at the way certain types of SEO are referred to as lazy.

So, the Camaban in the header is now an image, the background image there has changed to a warmer [...]

Here at work, I’m in charge of the web site (part of the reason I applied for the job!) and have spent a lot of time improving it, adding things, making it look smarter etc…
As a popular reseller, we deal with quite a large number of manufacturers (well, publishers in our case) of the products [...]
