Seems like the hackers are after me at the moment: 2 weeks ago my Twitter account was hacked and last week one of my static web sites was hacked.
Last week’s hack was particularly embarrassing.
I’d sent someone the link to my Web Services site. On the web design page there are some links to sample [...]

My Twitter account was hacked yesterday. It started sending out the ‘This You..??’ Direct Message to people I’m following.
The DM has a link and, out of curiosity (and with bated breath), I decided to see where it went.
I closed everything else down so I could invoke AVG quickly and get rid of nasties if I [...]

Another excellent article from Nathan Hangen this week, with which I totally empathized.
It continues the theme I referred to here with the point that there’s a ‘freeloading’ mindset today.
Along with ‘freeloading’ I would add ‘responsibility avoidance’. And it’s not healthy.
I see it reflected in so many ways.
It’s the kind of mindset that the British Airways [...]

It’s such a shame that people like this can’t channel their skills into something worthwhile, instead of screwing up other people’s PC’s.
A friend called me on Saturday morning because his PC had caught a Virus. Could I help him sort it out, he wanted to know.
We met up just after lunch and I switched [...]

Interesting article on Nathan Hangen’s blog this week: There’s More to Life Than Blogging.
In it he asks why you blog and suggests you should know the answer before you start.
It reminded me of the number of times I’ve seen this question (or something like it) on Twitter:
“I just started a new blog – what do [...]

I don’t do New Year’s resolutions.
I’m continually making resolutions to improve the way I do things, so what’s so different about January 1st?
But two articles recently caught my interest and, since it is January, they’ve provoked the closest thing I’ve come to a New Year’s resolution.
It’s about being paid for my expertise.
This article on Men [...]

I was helping someone restore their blog the other day. They had tried to add a new domain to their Hostgator account and the result wasn’t pretty.
Their existing blog (the primary domain for their Hostgator account) was suddenly not available at all. In any guise.
We couldn’t navigate to it as a visitor and [...]

I introduced some of the online Internet Marketing tools I use in this article, with the promise I’d review more.
So here they are.
Again, they’re all free to use although some do have some limitations. To get around them you’ll need to either upgrade or pay.
The cost is usually insanely cheap, though, and these are [...]

In this post I described the primary desktop tools I use in my internet marketing business.
This time I’ll take a look at some of the on-line tools I use.
All these tools are free to use, although some have limitations – for example the sitemap generator will create free sitemaps for sites with up to 500 [...]

I was helping a friend the other day and needed to get FTP access to their site. So they fired up the web based FTP tool provided by their hosting provider.
And it was one of the least intuitive applications I’ve ever seen!
So I showed her how to install Filezilla and it took us just a [...]

Thanks to my time and salary being cut by 30% at my day job, I’ve been able to work at home and focus more time on my Internet work.
So what have been the benefits?
Well it’s nice not to have to work until 1 in the morning because I’m doing 2 jobs, and it’s nice to [...]
