So we finally got round to blogging...

Submitted by Lee on Thu, 02/16/2006 - 22:06

We’ve been meaning to launch the ole corporate blogs for ages. So many things to do, places to go, code to write… Excuses, excuses I know but at long last here we are! The first blog on the MorganAlley site.

The test site said: “OK, so it’s a test site. But this is good as I can be even more acerbic than usual! Anyway, we can load up our content, test designs, learn this system, etc. without inflicting it on the wide world till we’re ready. Nice!” until tonight. We’re live and linked now so no more playing around. The acerbity will stay along with a bit of irony, sarcasm, humour and other examples of journalistic prose, and some will actually be intended! We will praise when it’s due (even Microsoft!) and will be quick to point out the “less than optimal” we feel you should know about.

Do stay tuned and we’ll be back with more.

    The DIY Site

    There are many free template sites out there. A quick look at this link demonstrates the problem. Of the list generated we could recommend Andreas Viklund’s site and that’s all. The rest are a collage of attractive but non-semantic sites to the downright awful. There are just so many reasons why you don’t want to use these templates.

  • Why update my website often?

    Many is the website that was coded and uploaded, saying exactly what the owner wanted to say….and hasn’t been touched since. It’s nothing more than a brochure for the person or organisation and if their message changes then they will change their website. We believe this is a fatal mistake in website management. There are two reasons for this: 1) people buy from human beings, not fancy slogans or the right typography and graphics, and 2) most people find sites via search engines and search engines LOVE dynamic (changing, or developing) content.

  • Everything you knew about search engines is now wrong

    We’ve known how to get pages up in the search engines for years, haven’t we? Put in good meta tags, write good content and get lots of inbound links - as many as possible, and as quickly as possible. Right?

  • Can you help improve the content of my website?

  • Great news out of Microsoft

    Great news out of Microsoft today* (am I really saying this? I shock myself sometimes…)! Microsoft has teamed up with Xensource to support Linux installations running as virtual machines on Xen virtualization software when it runs on top of a Windows server. I know that’s a mouthful but it’s significant in several important ways documented today on The Register.
