Im a big WordPress fan. I use it for everything, recommend it to everyone and I make my living from it. I've got a list of cool things I'd like to see WordPress implement / fix but that's another post. Today however; I am going to take a swipe at WordPress' new default theme TwentySeventeen. [...]
Title says it all folks. Another clever way to get you to vote for Trump (at the time) and another way it seems; around Google’s spam filters (sarcasm detected). This little tricky bugger managed to sneak its way in and give inspiration to a whole new kind of statistics spamming which without a doubt will lead […]
It's been a while since I wrote here. It's been a crazy two years for me with massive personal changes and challenges as a consequence. Whilst this post might come across a little cryptic in the sense that I don't want to go into exact details; I thought I needed a place to share somewhat [...]

This is the second time we have received an email from clients with instructions to please sort this ASAP.

It all started when interviewing a new SEO intern. I was asked to do the final interview, and for those of you who know me, I am not a big fan of "SEO optimisation". You usually loose me when I get told that someone will be full time working on SEO. I mean, 8 hours [...]
Have you recently i.e. in the past year or so; tried to upload a Facebook cover image only to find that the quality looks like a dog's breakfast? Welcome to the club. I always managed to figure it out but forget the work around so decided this time I'd write it down (for me and [...]
