Johnson Boxes and How To Make Them

February 23, 2010
Tools

Johnson Boxes are one of those things that everyone refers to and assumes that everyone knows all about them and how to do them – but in my experience they don’t. Following the ‘clean page’ option last week which most people spotted as a potential sales/squeeze page it seems logical to follow it up [...]

Thesis Clean Page Option

February 18, 2010
Tools

I am truly, madly, deeply in love with Thesis – it is the best wordpress theme, bar none.  It is worth every single penny I paid for it.  I would pay a lot more.  It is probably the most valuable single investment I have ever made for my business. One of the joys is how [...]

Who Is Your Website For?

January 17, 2010
Online Marketing

There’s been a lot of redecorating going on in my life at the moment – the living room and the blog.  The living room is nearer finished than the blog and the latest thing completed gave me pause for thought.
I spent yesterday making (altering to be exact) the curtains for the living room, because they [...]

Newbies Pit Stop Tools

A friend said to me the other day, when discussing some new geekery “We are toolsmiths” and he was quite right.  I love new shiny toys and tools. We were discussing Google Wave* at the time  but the tool I want to bring to your attention today is Dropbox – a fantastic tool for anyone [...]

This is a lovely little extension for Firefox for all those web builders out there – ColorZilla provides a whole raft of tools for analysing colors and so forth on websites.  Very pleased to have this at my finger tips.

Office Chatter Without An Office

Online Marketing

I spend a lot of my time working on seasonal sites, which I know many Online Marketers decry.  I like them, they are hard work but I enjoy it. They give a shape to my working life that is often lacking for people who work online.  We don’t have quite the same seasonal influences in [...]

The Birth of a Theme – Sort Of…

September 3, 2008
Online Marketing

I’ve beavered and bustled, torn out not a little hair and become even more of a grumpy old woman than usual – but I have completed (more or less) the theme and the site using FirePow, and an HTML template version of the theme that I developed for the products that are being promoted.  It [...]

Busy Busy…

August 25, 2008
Tools

I’ve spent the last couple of days grappling with a whole new set of skills.  I build websites, it’s what I do and how I make a living.  Anything I can do to make it easier, provided it’s ethically acceptable, is of benefit.  As I have said before I will spend money to save time [...]

The Cost of ‘Free’

June 3, 2008
Reflections Squidoo Tools

‘Free’ is a somewhat emotive word on the internet – we all seek the ‘free’ information that will give us the key to success, we look for the ‘free’ tools that make our job easier, we mutter when we discover that something that purports to be ‘free’ actually ends up costing us – even if [...]

General Online Marketing The 90 Day Challenge

It seems an age since I posted anything on my blog – I have felt quite deprived. However a combination of a stinking head cold, acute sinusitis and a vast amount of work have kept me away – but in the immortal words of whoever it was ‘I’m back’.
So what’s been going on in [...]

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

January 31, 2008
Tools

Illustrating your website or blog is always a thorny issue. Do you, don’t you, how many, what, where are just some of the questions that spring to mind. I don’t use a huge number of images on my blog because it’s not always appropriate, but I do use them on websites and lenses. [...]

Discussion Points Online Marketing

The last few days have been very fraught in our household. My dearly beloved has been having ‘issues’ with his laptop. Now, I love him dearly and he is an intelligent man but what he knows about computers you could put on the head of a pin and still have room to do [...]

Do Your Homework

January 22, 2008
General Online Marketing Tools

I made a comment to a colleague that I spend hours, even days, on keyword research until I am happy I have the best information I can distil from the process before I so much as put finger to keyboard to build a site. He couldn’t believe that I would spend so much time [...]
