This week I have heard 3 stories in which people been reprimanded for divulging their personal details in open forums such as Twitter or Facebook (depending on your privacy settings).
It doesn’t take a lot of common sense to work out that if you are a Head Teacher you should probably not post risqué photos of yourself [...]
Once again when sourcing themes for my clients I have stumbled across a design, which with a little adaptation, I have decided to apply to this blog. This time it is called Stripped and is a theme by Upstart Blogger.
It is rather minimalist to say the least and to keep it so I have removed the images from my [...]
I knew it had been a while, but didn’t appreciate it was quite that long. Finding the time to blog recently has been nigh impossible. Looking after my ever more demanding Son and working when Kerry returns from teaching has left me little time to sit down and take the necessary time to consider a topic and [...]

I suppose being a stay at home Dad means I don’t naturally come across the business contacts that I used to when working in [...]
Happy New Year.
As ever December was a very busy month. Clients needed work turned around quicker than at any other time of the year, existing projects still needed finished by the end of the year and with my sons first Christmas and Birthday within a few days of each other I had a lot to [...]

To allow my clients to maintain these sites I develop them using a number of Open Source CMS’s (Content Management Solutions) such as [...]
My wife has started back to work after being on my maternity leave for the past year. Fortunately she has been able to stage her return and is working 3 days a week until Christmas at which point she will return full time. This means I am responsible for looking after our son a couple [...]
