Create your own dream job

by Dave

I love this idea of making your own dream job: There is something incredibly empowering about seizing control of your life and creating the job you want, rather than waiting for it to happen or waiting for someone to give it to you. You are no longer a passive viewer of the world, but someone [...]

Are You Breaking The Copyright Laws? It could cost you. BIG TIME!

by Dave

It’s so tempting to rip images from web and post them up on your blog or website without regard to who owns the image rights. You could easily find yourself on the wrong end of the law and facing a substantial bill for damages. The original article has a link to the “fair use” rules [...]

What to do when your site is hacked

by Dave

When your site is hacked it’s a huge pain. For a start you feel guilty that your site has possibly infected the computers of your lovely readers. After that you panic because you don’t have the first idea how to fix it. My website has been hacked twice (not this one) and it’s a horrible [...]

Subliminal messages and other self development techniques

by Dave

I think I’d be pretty upset if I hired a life coach and found out during a consultation that they advocated wishful thinking or cosmic ordering or other patently absurd ‘self improvement’ options. What I like about Tim is his straight talking. You know where you are with this guy because you know what he [...]

Thought this was a great post from the top mummy blogger Tara Cain. I’m posting it here because it falls into the category of ‘Stuff I Like’. Tara tends to focus on the positive aspects of life but this brief departure shows that she is not immune to the bumps in the road. That said, [...]

Dirty Links Work: Spam Blog Networks Exposed

by Dave

This fascinating post set me off on my own exploration to see whether spam blog networks actually work. I haven’t got to the bottom of it yet but I’m not even going to look any deeper, there’s no point. I found one very credible site with links from splogs. It was a PR5 with an [...]

Fiverr where you get everything for a fiver

by Dave

Saw this on Glen Allsopp’s site the other day. I had no idea this site even existed but what a great idea. There’s plenty of old rubbish on offer there but some great fun stuff too. Reading through Glen’s comments there’s a guy who paid a fiver to get some boob writing done and photgraphed! [...]

Nigella Lawson Won’t Leave Children A Penny

Thumbnail image for Nigella Lawson Won’t Leave Children A Penny

Nigella Lawson is someone I admire and not just because she happens to be gorgeous but also because of her work ethic. The 51 year old celebrity chef has clearly got her head screwed on right when it comes to business, but I was interested to read that she doesn’t intend to leave her children [...]
