I’d love to be able to update this site a lot more than I do however my day job and customers must come first! In the little free work time I’ve had over the past few months, I’ve managed to get most of my new portfolio website done which you can see if you go to GotWebsites.

I’ve been learning loads about CodeIgniter and Doctrine when I’ve had time aswell and I’d really like to write a few blog posts on that when I’m not as busy but it looks like I’m going to have loads of work on for the next month or two at least.

Hopefully when I get back to having time to post here I’ll come back with loads of great ideas for articles.

I like listening to web/freelancer related podcasts on the train to work every day so I thought I’d share the ones I like best. I do have a list of other podcasts to try out so I’ll post up some other good ones when I come across them however the ones in this post should be enough to keep you busy for a while!

I found this video the other day and it really makes a good point of how making what you offer different to what everybody else is offering can help it sell, even if what you’re actually selling isn’t different at all.

Lots of people use Google Adwords to drive targeted traffic to their website. I know from experience when you first log into Adwords it can all be a bit daunting. Now google have released a video guide on how to manage your bidding for each of your keywords to maximise your return on investment.

You can watch the video below and read more information on it on the official google blog.

First off I want to apologise for the crappy posts of late, this will be the last “ooohh I did this” post that isn’t really of any use to you and that I’m sure you’re sick of reading!
