Anything and everything vaguely internet related. Blogging, industry, social media: if you can find it online, I've talked about it in here.
What with the talk of hits recently and a few Awstats/Webaliser screenshots being flashed about as if they were some sort web badge (been there, done that, made a prat of myself) I have to chuck in my own tuppence worth: “hahahaha”. If you’re using any of the bog-standard, built-in stats trackers to try and… read full entry »
Sometimes I wonder why I blog. Not because I don’t enjoy it or because I want to give it up, but because 95% of my entries are complete bollocks, 3% are only relevant to those with ‘specialist’ interests (and I’m sure half of you are only feigning interest anyway) and the other 2% make no… read full entry »
I’ve had one of “those” days (well, evenings) and I can’t be bothered to blog properly, so here’s a few funky links and spunky web pages of use/interest I’ve found recently… Just when I thought that user-sign-up spam on phpBB couldn’t get any worse I found the phpBB admin toolkit which allows me to administer… read full entry »

I’m not sure how many of you have seen the new ReviewMe website; well, after getting after my initial “OMG I am SO going to sue!” reaction (copied from Review You, right? This is a joke!) I can’t decide how I feel about the whole thing. On one hand, I hate blogstitution (thank you Belinda)… read full entry »
This post is purely for indulging in a whole lot of narcissism. Oh yeah! If you’re not interested in reading about my latest achievements… well, tough! >:D Last week I was asked if I was interested in contributing to a piece on my ex-boyfriends for a feature called “The ex-files” in the Observer (national weekly… read full entry »
One of the most common questions I find that is asked by newbie webmasters is “how do I hide my source code?” Most of these kids don’t have websites/code worth stealing, but nonetheless you’ve got to see past the “oh God, not another one” and respect their determination to protect their hard work.

Originally published as a SEO blog entry Tip #5: Quality Content I mentioned in my semi-satirical ‘Promoting Your Website‘ article that you should: “Have an Opinion” and “Get a Blog, Blog About Everything” and I believe this is part of the quality content thing.

Before I get on to the actual point of the post: my new domains have propagated for the majority and you can now get to my site through jemjabella.co.uk, .com, .net and .org. HOORAH. SEO, or Search Engine Optimisation, is the process of optimising your website to increase your rank in search engines (not just… read full entry »
