Today, this blog gets a design refresh with a new theme that presents a minimalist look to the world. This is version 10.0 of a website running on WordPress that I first started in early 2006 following four years variously on Blogger, Movable Type and TypePad. All these services were stalwarts in the early days of blogs and blogging. I don't want to make a huge deal out of what essentially is the installation of a new WordPress theme. It's a bit like a new wardrobe when you buy a new … [Read more...] about A minimalist look to blogging

Vuelio’s top UK PR blogs 2016
The latest list of Vuelio's top ten PR blogs in the UK published on April 13 has a few changes, notably in the top spot. The number 1 slot is now occupied by Stephen Waddington, displacing yours truly (that's me) from that position after four consecutive years. I'm now in the number 2 position that had been held by Wadds for much of that period.

Just a bit less minimalist
About a month ago, I made a big change to this website when I redesigned it and combined the blog with my business website, with both on the same single domain. At the time, I talked up my strong feeling about a minimalist approach to a presence on the social web, doing away with all the clutter that tends to populate so many websites with widgets, ads, popups galore, and more. If you observed that change and have visited this site since then, you'll notice another change if you're reading … [Read more...] about Just a bit less minimalist
A minimalist approach
[Updated July 27: Today I reverted to the Genesis Framework and the eleven40 Pro child theme. Concise reasoning in today's post about the change.] Today I re-booted this website. It has a new look and feel, quite a bit different to what went before it. And the domain on which the blog has run since 2006 is also now home to the separate business website I've had for some years. So everything you want to know about me is housed under one roof instead of fragmented in a few places - all now … [Read more...] about A minimalist approach
