Great to hear from you Ray, longtime indeed 

Blimey, sounds like a big move and a big lifestyle change, good for you. Does that mean you are free to do a bit of ranting about the probation service now 

Interesting feedback Dave and quite worrying, as you say this could impact a lot of trades.

Quite a few people jumped on the "if one alarm goes off, they all go off..."

But the Scottish Govt wrote the headlines not me  

Two factor authentication will always be more secure than not using it, but its not infallible. Unique and complex passwords for every login and app, and a good password manager will keep you on the straight and narrow, with 2FA as added protection. 

Hi Paul

All the platforms you are talking about are third party so you will need to follow any guidance or help files relating to that platform. Things like changing H1 tags are normally pretty straightforward but can depend on the templates you are using when it comes to Wordpress. You may need to edit the template directly, but always make a copy of any files.

Afraid I've no experience of magento or shopify and wix last time I checked was a very simple WYSIWYG, but all should come with help, faq's or support.

If you are ever looking for wisdom or commonsense advice, Seth Godin rarely disappoints.

The Oxford comma, trap

It’s easy to accept the limits that are implied when someone asks us for advice and feedback.

Fix the typos, sure. That’s important. But perhaps you have something bigger to add.

A friend shares plans to launch a new retail website. It’s tempting to fix the small errors on the page, but perhaps it’s more useful to discuss the product line, the pricing or whether or not it should be online at all…

The author shares a draft of a new work. You could help with the grammar, but maybe it would help more if you talked about the parts that weren’t included.

The agency shows three versions of a new design they’re considering. Multiple choice might be on offer, but ‘none of the above’ might be a more generous answer.

I’m pretty confident that when the Titanic went down, the deck chairs were clean and well-ordered. It’s a shame no one talked about the icebergs.

Well for us, after two pretty depressing years, 2022 seems to have exploded. I'm hoping we are now moving on from covid fatigue and this positivity is set to continue.

We are only midway through our first 90 day goal, but have nearly met our first targets. So based on this, 2022 is looking to become quite exciting and I'll just pretend 2021 and 2022 never happened 

How about yourself, how is the year shaping up for you?

Thats the key Craig, little and often. SEO tweaks and changes can take weeks or months to bed in, then one day, that change you did or phrase you optimised 6 months ago will strike gold  It will happen, and when it does, bask in your own glory and enjoy it.

Bloody 'ell Barney, just catching up and saw this!

Has the diagnosis been confirmed, if so is it treatable? 

Wishing you the best mate, (even if you are  a grumpy git) 

I suspect there have and will be a lot of conditions that have gone untreated due people either struggling to get appointments, or even perceived stoicism, thinking they are making a fuss when the NHS is creaking.

Hi Paul, sorry about the delay in getting in touch. 

You could diversify into male grooming, or we can create whatever category you need. I've dropped you an email, send me a reply and I'll get your cat(s) set up for you.
