Display your site’s current PageRank
If you have a need to add your site’s current PageRank to a page or post (for example, you may have a page for the media/PR on which you may wish to highlight it), the following piece of code, added to your theme’s functions.php file, will achieve just that. All you have to add in [...]
SEO and why you need it
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) has often been seen as a bit of a “dark art”. The idea is to improve a site’s result in search engine results (and, let’s be honest, we’re mainly talking about Google). Companies such as NETPEAK UK , with expertise in what’s required, will manage this for you. Google, et al, don’t give [...]
Will my next phone be a Nokia running Windows?
At work, as a cost saving measure, they’re replacing the many Blackberry handsets with Nokia’s. More specifically Nokia Lumia 800′, running Windows Phone 7. Naturally, I’ve had a chance to try one out and get feedback from those that have them. And, believe it or not, I may just choose for my next phone (or, [...]
Bingo sites join the social web
Well, it’s been a while coming. Bingo sites in the UK seem to rely on extravagant adverts on TV with big named stars but, unlike everyone else, appear to be missing what everyone else is milking – social media! That’s now been corrected with new sites which offer directory and review services for such bingo sites. [...]
Why I still don’t like Chrome
Last year I made an attempt to move from Firefox to Chrome – as much as I love Firefox, Chrome is a lot quicker in use. However, after living with Chrome for a few days, I’ve moved back to Firefox again. There was always the issue over searching. I love having a little search box [...]

I’ve just launched version 2 of my Artiss Draft List plugin for WordPress and if you’ve not tried it, it’s really worth a punt. In a nutshell, it lists on your blog any posts (and/or pages) that you have in draft. This can provide an ideal, and unique, way to promote posts before they are [...]
I hate to say it, but I’m disappointed with the Galaxy Nexus
Since the Galaxy S2 launched earlier this year no other phone has come near to its capabilities – and that includes, I think, the iPhone 4S. As far as I’m concerned the S2 still reigns supreme. So, I’ve been excited by the launch of the Galaxy Nexus – the newest release from Samsung, sporting Android [...]
Artiss YouTube Embed 2.1 released
I’m happy to announce the release of version 2.1 of my WordPress plugin Artiss YouTube Embed . There are a number of new features, some of them cleaning up changes made recently to work around some issues that users were having. For example, you can now turn on and off options to use HTTPS instead of HTTP. [...]
Groupon – saving you money the easy way
Launched only in 2008, Groupon has become big, quickly. The idea of it is that they have a deal each day and, if enough people sign up for it, the deal is given. It works much like the ill-fated “dot com” startup LetsBuyIt.com. Starting in the US, it spread quickly to other countries. Google offered $5.3 [...]

BlogCampUK 2012
On Saturday I attended BlogCampUK, a free workshop for bloggers. Organised by Tots100 it was, understandably, full of “mummy bloggers”. Indeed, of the 120 bloggers there, I suspect about 4 were men (when assembled in a single room it was like playing “Where’s Wally” when looking for the male contingent). All of this meant that there [...]
