Hello! If you can see this, it means that Kind of Digital’s new website is now live. We’ve given things a new look, and have organised the content a bit better, to give folk visiting the site some kind of…
If you can see this, it means I have managed to successfully rehost DavePress! Do me a favour and leave me a ‘hurrah!’ in the comments. It will a) make me feel better and b) help me to know everything…
Hello everyone, welcome back after the easter break! I’d be really interested to find out more about the people who read this blog, and what they make of it. So, I threw together this little survey. It’s done in Google…
After many frustrations with the company hosting this blog, I’ve finally given in and will be moving it. Am hoping to have it all done today (Sunday), but we’ll see how it goes. This might look janky for a bit.…
2010 sees the start of a new adventure for me, as I leave the world of freelancing behind and start full time with Learning Pool – who I have been working for on a part time basis for the last…
I thought it might be useful to offer a sneaky-peak into my processes for writing this blog. After all, given that I am trying to encourage others to do the same, it’s probably only fair that I let people know…
There have been about 60,000 visits to this blog in the last twelve months, and thanks to you all. In December the site broke through the 1,000 subscribers barrier, which is very nice indeed. 50-odd of those subscribers choose to…
Things have been a little quiet on this blog of late – being on holiday didn’t help – but I guess I have just been rather busy doing stuff and haven’t had the chance to blog nearly as much as…
I’m currently having a good sort out of this blog – and will be relaunching it with quite a few changes in the near future. I have found that running a self-hosted blog is a bit like running a PC,…
Here are the posts in decreasing order of popularity that seem to have caught people’s attention in the last 12 months: The UKGovWeb Twitterverse WordPress.com widget guide 10 Cool WordPress themes 8 tips for beginner bloggers Macbook Wireless Problem Effective…
There’s not long left of 2008 now. It’s been one of the most remarkable years of my life. I started it living in Mawsley, near Kettering, which I and my family hated. We then moved to Broughton, also near Kettering,…
I’ve given DavePress yet another facelift. This one is a lot lighter and hopefully more friendly too. Personally, I especially like the ‘adverts’ in the top right corner, pimping my social media wares, such as my newsletter, ReadWriteGov and LGSearch.…
Sorry for the light blogging of late, but I have been jolly busy of late, not least with moving house. I’m now resident in Cottenham, near Cambridge. Do come and say hello if you are ever nearby. Here’s a couple…
As part of my social media onslaught to promote DavePress as my new business from September, I have created a page on Facebook. Please sign up as a fan and keep me company – and make me look popular!
I am planning a series of posts on this blog that will go right back to basics on a number of social web topics, partially just to be helpful but also to help develop the documentation for some workshops I…
In my current job will be 12 September 2008. So I’ll be available for new stuff from the 15th. Just so you all know 😉
I’ve finally done it. Today I handed in my notice at work, and once that period is up, I will be freelancing: peddling my social media wares to anyone that will have them. Actually, that isn’t strictly true. Here’s some…
Things have been relatively quiet here on DavePress, but don’t worry, I have been busy. I’ve been working on a few projects – as well as the social reporting stuff with David – which I will hopefully be able to…
…not to write another blog post about blogging for a while. I do need another area of obsession though. Wikis? Social networks? Any other suggestions?
I know, I know. It seems like I start a new blog every 5 minutes. But this is different. This time, I’m staying put. The whole FEconnect thing didn’t work for me, in the end. This was a big shame,…
