I’ve had two people tag me so what the hell.

My first tag came from Kian Ann and now my second from Char so I think I’ll give it a go at writing about my self

1. My pet I have a cat called KitKat, nicest cat in the world and fattest cat in the world, but from what i hear the majority of web masters own cats :D.
2. I am a student at college taking a course that involves fixing computers, we shall be starting a business (i feel sorry for the customers :P).
3. I’m a freelance website designer I’ve helped to design many websites and sometimes develop them their is a link in my side bar if you feel like checking out my site ;), or even contacting me.
4. As Kian Ann mentioned I think I would have to say damn right! “I sometimes very often stay up all night to blog. “
5. And I think I should really get around to doing some Xmas shopping Oh crap its like 2 days away!“I have not finished my Christmas shopping, wrapping or house cleaning! Yikes!”

Blogging is so much fun!

I have learned a lot from my blogging experience which was my main aim of opening up a blog, but rather than been a chore its turned into a hobby everyday I look forward to writing on my blog I don’t have a clue why this is but if someone asked me to do this back in school i would of done a crap job of it and left it their.

I have owned a lot of sites before that I really have failed at, my first ever website was one-thing.org which is closed now but I could hardly scrape together 10 hits a day but it was also fun competing with a friend of mine as we where new at all this, but this was the stage where i was just coming out of free html hosting websites so still learning the art of SHTML and PHP.

But over the past couple of sites my visitors haven’t really increased but my designs have come along way and my knowledge of web scripting, and here I am writing on a pre made script with a WYSIWYG editor and who would of guessed it could be this fun!

SEO isn’t just for fun.

Well I’ve actually noticed that I’m doing a really crap job at SEO which is pretty much annoying me, this month I have a target of 200 unique hits and when I compare this to other new bloggers it’s a really crap job I’m doing at the moment so in January I’m going to start doing as much research into SEO as possible and I’m going to try and hit a target of 1000 Unique visitors by the end of march.

Please any tips on SEO would be brilliant, I’m looking forward to this challenge.

Bullet For My Valentine - The Poison

This is an album full of powerful emotional lyrics, though NOT EMO. Which released during the explosion of young, almost old style metal bands was brilliant timing for Matt Tuck (Frontman for Bullet). This album features more tracks then their previous one and should be appreciated for the potent influence from metal bands Iron Maiden and Metallica.

The whole album is based around the same emotions which allows all the songs to interact with each other, their first single released from the album was ‘All these things I hate revolve around me’, this was a great place to start as it had the metal but wasn’t too harsh which allowed a wider selection of listener to appreciate it. i.e was more accessible to a wider audience.

Improve Your Communication Skills By Alan Barker.

Well I brought “Improve Your Communication Skills” from play.com.

The book aims at improving your skills in the work place whether you need to impress a large audience or just the odd employee.

Here are a couple of bullet points of which this book helps you with

Improve your conversations;
Build rapport with colleagues;
Hold Interviews and staff appraisals;
Learn the skills of persuasion;
Write e-mails, letters and reports; and
Write for the web.

I’ve been reading this book when ever i get a break its very good it talks you through what ways you need to take for impressing people or just keeping conversations going, as I’m not a large talker to colleagues I found this book to be brilliant at giving me guide lines for conversations.

If you are going to be making a presentation soon or a meeting where you need to impress this book it what you need, I recommend anyone who is trying to improve their communication skills to buy this its worth the money!
