After a long anticipated wait I attended a one day course on ‘Getting your website found’. Taking the course in December as I originally planned without a website would not have been nearly as helpful. The course was far more ‘techie’ than I thought it would be, but it was accompanied by useful handouts that […]
Shiny new website
At last! After a two week hiatus this week’s musings are bought to you from a shiny new website. Welcome. Not being able to post anything the first week was unsettling. I likened it to FOMO (fear of missing out) but in reverse, kind of. I was caught in a flurry of engaging activities and […]
