So there are lots of things that SCREAM you don’t care about your business. You probably have your own list of things that make your toes curl and set alarm bells ringing. One of my personal bugbears is to do with email. And no it’s not unsolicited emails (though that does annoy me and I […]
Spam. We all hate it. And yet you might be spamming without even realising it. Isn’t that embarrassing. I’m not talking about when people send spam emails, or put really salesy posts on Twitter and Facebook, annoying though those things are. No I’m talking when you are on Facebook or Twitter and see exactly the […]
I haven’t got Windows 10 yet. I’ll repeat that in case you didn’t get it the first time. I don’t have Windows 10 yet. I’m still using Windows 7. And that surprises many people as they know how much I love my tech. But it’s precisely because I love my tech that I haven’t. When […]
First of all, let me start by saying I have nothing against Dropbox. As a tool for sharing files with clients and colleagues or for backing up files, I love it. It’s easy and intuitive to use and makes many aspects of my work much easier. But I just wanted to tell you of how […]
What do you think of newsletters? Do you like receiving them? Do you like writing them? Are they worth the time? I love a good newsletter but hate the bad ones. The bad ones fall into two categories The ones I didn’t sign up for. Just because we met at a networking events does not […]
Those of us of a certain age will remember BT’s “It’s good to talk” adverts. And in business, the telephone it great tool.

When I’m out networking I have lots of different conversations about all sorts of IT issue. One that often comes up is that of passwords. I once met someone who stored over 200 login names and passwords in an Excel spreadsheet – And the spreadsheet wasn’t password protected! So if her computer was ever stolen […]
This is a re-post with a bit of a re-write of an article I wrote a few year back for another website. That project no longer exists but the message from the article is still relevant. On Twitter (do you follow me on there, if not why? Follow me now!) one of the people I […]
If you know me, then you’ll know how much I love social media. I am such a fan. But I see people make the same mistake again and again and it means that what they are saying won’t be going to their audience. And that’s a shame really isn’t it. What is this common mistake […]
I’ve spoken many times on why you should ignore an unsolicited email that says the sender has noticed something about your website and that they can fix it for a fee. A really common one is that they have noticed your site isn’t ranking highly on Google…..Google even gets sent this email so that tells […]
It’s a well used saying but a picture really is worth a thousand words. Of course, you want those words to be good words and that’s where good photography comes into play. These days that we all have a reasonable camera on our phones and a decent digital SLR camera isn’t going to break the […]
