Creative Guy James Dempsey, has clearly had a lot of experience with designing logos [...]

Since I began writing this blog, I have never really used categories to define what I write. Instead, I prefer to use tags to more loosely associate a number of definitions to everything I write.
However, it struck me that my huge tag cloud at the bottom of every page is not necessarily the most user [...]

It’s that time again where WordPress users across the globe shut down all their systems, cross every finger they’ve got, and do the dreaded upgrade.

Over the past few months I’ve witnessed a quiet movement gain momentum and transform into a full-blown revolution. I talk of course, of the DoFollow movement.

If you are reading this page you are looking at the new design now. If you’ve been here before you will know what it looked like before, [...]

After my discovery that miLienzo.com doesn’t actually work in Internet Explorer (schoolboy error!), I’ve been beavering away with a new WordPress template.

I don’t claim to be an expert with search engine optimisation (SEO). I’m very interested in the design and aesthetics of the Web and new media, but not really very interested in the fiddly geeky works of SEO. So it is with complete ignorance on my part that miLienzo.com has been blacklisted by Google.

I am officially a WordPress ‘noob’. My site has been live for eight whole days and I’ve a staggering two previous posts under my belt. “Steady on there,” I hear you say. Well that’s not the half of it - I’ve already got 10 plugins installed. And activated!
