I like this.

Thanks hon.

I seem to have quite a few SEO related podcast sites to visit but not many in the design/marketing side of things. Can anyone recommend any sites? In other words what are y’all listening too?

I’ve been a little lax on the blogging front this week. We’re crazy busy designing some new sites and that’s been my focus. Hopefully I’ll have a few to show you in the next few weeks.

I am taking some time out today to have lunch with Kal who’s down from NSW. I’m looking forward to it. It’s not often I get to catch up with colleagues or even people who know what I’m talking about half the time. I may even come back with a post idea.

Happy New Year!

Ok I’m back and ready to rock and roll. One of my new years resolutions is to blog more - fingers crossed eh. I have a semi completed post about being remarkable and potato salad - I should have that to you tomorrow.

May 2007 be all that you want it to be.

My apologies for the delay between posts. I’ve been fighting some dreadful cold virus not to mention frantically finishing off some website designs for clients.

I should be back on schedule now.

I’ve been online a long time. At least *cough* 12 years. Back in the early days “netiquitte” was taken really seriously.

The basic rules include:

• YOU DON’T SHOUT,
• You don’t quote slabs of text,
• And my favourite, you check, and correct your spelling and grammar.

I always took the approach that online you are judged by your written word, in the same way that offline you’re judged by your appearance. Would you wear crumpled, dirty clothes and unpolished shoes when meeting with a potential client? I suspect not. So why write an email with no capitalisation, no punctuation and definitely no spell checking?

Now I don’t mean to be uptight, and I do appreciate that online communication is far less formal that the old written letter (thank heaven’s), but in my opinion if you can’t add an apostrophe to a word, or end a sentence with a full stop, I’ll suspect you don’t polish your shoes either.

Keep in mind a few minutes making sure your written words are “polished” could be the difference between a sale or no sale.

With a little push, ok a damn huge shove (thanks Barry) I’m going live.

To be honest I’m still finding it hard to find my voice and come up with post ideas. My thinking is to focus on web design, usability and marketing as opposed to pure search - there’s enough wonderful search focused bloggers already.

So I’ve decided to ask you what you’d like to read about. Please post any comments or suggestions - heck you’ll be saving my skin.

I’ve officially joined the blogosphere. Aaron Wall I don’t know whether to thank you or kill you.

It may take me some time to get the swing of this. Hang in there, I’m sure it’ll be worth it.
