Two hot topics, in one post. WordPress is the hot blogging tool right now, and the iPhone is one of the hot mobile phones too. So it’s a shame that they don’t work that well together. In this article I go through the following: Posting to WordPress.com from the iPhone Posting to a self hosted version of WordPress using the… continue reading ⇢
It really scares me how few good programmers actually exist in this world. I only bump into them professionally and even then, not as often as I’d like. If, for example, I meet someone at a party and he says he codes I’ll put a bet on he or she lacking a huge range of skills. The sad thing is,… continue reading ⇢
I’m going to shamelessly nick a few images here from a site we designed, manage and host (Sniff Petrol) , but which is run and written by someone else.

The number 604800 refers to the number of seconds in… continue reading ⇢
Expensive mistakes can be avoided by just being a little bit careful. Imagine you’d spent many thousands on this marketing campaign, only to get it plastered around the web… for the wrong reasons.
