Guest blogging
An increasing part of my work is to do with spreading the good news about blogging: in talks and online I can be heard stressing the importance of keeping your blog up to date with fresh, crisp content.
Read MoreWorking from home: how to avoid the biscuit tin
It’s such a mainstream concept now, the home office thing, and those three little words are firmly built into common office parlance (though the acronym WFH still needs a bit of explaining to some people alarmed by its oddly blunt appearance).
Read MoreLove stories
Plenty is written about love, and double the amount on this day of the year, Valentine’s Day, when hearts and flowers are in every shop window, raining the pink stuff down whether you’re in the market for that kind of thing or not.

Lost and found
For someone launching a brand new website that promises to put words to pages, admitting that I didn’t know the first thing about web design has been the first step to what I hope will be my success, the idea being that I’ll never know if I don’t ask. The second step is to pay it forward: a favour should always be returned, so if my web-savvy friends help me, then I’ll return the favour by doing something useful for them, and so it continues.
