More and more people are working on the move. Mobile phones are bcoming increasingly powerful and many now offer internet access. Yet most sites are optimised for proper sized screens, not miniature ones.
I like the idea of people being able to read my blog while on the move, so I went looking for some mobile [...]
To get exposure for your blog, it is really important nowadays to promote it via social media. One of the best ways of doing this is to get other people to promote it for you! You do this by giving them handy little buttons and links. My theme, the Headway theme provides social media buttons [...]
I love favicons. They are those tiny little icons that sit in the address bar next to the website url/web address. I think they look really cool, and differentiate (for me) sites where attention is paid to detail from all the others.

Probably the best blogging site is Problogger which is written by Australian blogger Darren Rowse. He is a full time professional blogger who apparently [...]
Did you know that there are plugins you can get for Wordpress blogs so people can indicate that they ‘like’ your blog post? Yes, as in the ‘like’ feature on facebook.
I started thinking yesterday that it would be a nice thing to do and went looking, and lo! There they were!

One of the fun things about using Wordpress for your blog, is all the plugins that you can use. I have just found and installed the cumulus tag plugin.
I first spotted this on Technolama (a legal technology blog) where I thought it looked pretty cool. Having found it by chance this evening, flicking through the [...]
