Checked our adsense account, and look was waiting for me

Obviously the Google Adsense algorithm doesn't celebrate Easter, along with Xmas or any other public holidays 

Technology eh...

Personally (and as a Moz subscriber) I find it inexcusable that Moz has been bumbling along for so long with a mobile unfriendly site.

But also full of admiration for Rand Fishkin (former boss and now not sure what he is?) who has also decided to use the Moz site as a Google algorithm guinea pig.

Also great coverage and PR as well

All clean and green here  Or awesome in Google parlance 

Our MLS sites are a separately designed mobile site, which is high maintenance to upkeep, as you are effectively managing 2 individual websites. But is does give you the opportunity to completely customise the site for mobile viewers and we've taken this approach for the last few years.

We've just launched a service for the City of Edinburgh Council and this is our first foray into responsive design. It does have some limitations over a dedicated mobile site, but is much more efficient to manage.

Interesting to read in the Moz article that Google seems to be backing off some of the responsive design hysteria and is acknowledging that there are other ways of presenting your site. Was worried for a while that  redirected m.domains would get downgraded but that doesn't seem to be the case. m.domains should be held in the same regard as responsive sites.

For the average site owner though, responsive designs should make the most economic and practical sense.

I do love the irony though of the Moz mobile announcement web page....

Apparently the Moz engineers are working on it, so it will be mobile friendly by the 21st

A belated Happy Easter Andy 

Been nice to switch off and be away from the screen for a few days. The kids didn't seem to get bored from doing Easter egg hunts, reusing the same painted eggs over and over again!

Yup agree with Indizine, does seem like you are paying over the odds.

If you just want simple tick over mode, you can get some basic hosting from between £50 and £60 per year. Ezpz hosting are another alternative, cheap and cheerful. 

I use a mix of 123-reg and uk2.net for hosting. UK2.net shows your domain as £7.99 per year, normally gets cheaper if you renew for 2,3 years etc.

Who ever you go with, it will be a lot cheaper than you are paying now

You sneaky beaky cathead!  We are so used to Indian IP addresses trying to pretend they are English, makes a change to be the other way round!

The canteen tent link certainly looks impressive, but it it'll cost a fortune, as well as the logistical hassle. But if that's what the boss wants...

You should be fine weather wise with that kind of marquee.

Entertainment wise, you cant beat a live band IMHO, but it's hard to cater for all tastes. We hired a band a few years ago and they were amazing, covering all genres, www.blozone.co.uk But there are millions of bands to choose from. Short list and go and see them play rather than gambling that they will be ok. 

Gets you out of the office plus more fun than working for ISIS  

This shows what you can do if you have some good ideas, plus a recognisable brand helps

Superb publicity stunt though. If you've got kids, then they will love this.

Must admit haven't seen any. Missed the news this morning, the beeb traditionally try and do something though it tends to be a bit obvious.

Could have been a great opportunity for a political stunt. Cameron has resigned and handed over to Boris? Hmm on second thoughts that actually happen... 

Anyone get caught out, or nobody cares or just naturally grumpy?

Hello "cathead" welcome to the forum.

I'm genuienly intrigued as your IP shows you are located in Turkey?

So are you writing this on the beach having a well deserved early holiday, on your way to join ISIS, or is the party actually in Turkey? Who I'm sure have much nicer weather than what we do

If it's a decent size company, I'm sure they can afford a few quid to hire a hall. Our local village hall only costs £100 to hire, be a lot cheaper than hiring a marquee? Be much easier to arrange entertainment as well I would have thought?

Target audience is Councillors, council staff and Trading Standards Officers, so thinking pens is an obvious one and we're waiting for some samples to come through.

Mem sticks is a good idea, didn't think of that, shall pass that one on to our recently recruited marketing manager
