I have no plans to write a lengthy review of Battlefield 3. My reasons are two-fold. Firstly, there are plenty of reviews out there already and secondly, I’ve got too much other stuff to do (but that’s another story). However, it would be utterly rude of me if I didn’t at least give some brief [...]

SEO news is often chattering about various Google Panda updates causing changes in algorithms and thus fluctuations in search engine rankings. In laymans terms this means your website will see less traffic and potential customers and it might not be anything you’ve done (or not done).

Previously, I wrote about this – ‘Smart-ass responses to idiotic graffiti.’ In Norwich, there’s a chap, who has pretty much gone around the whole City tagging ‘Shook’ everywhere. Apparently someone doesn’t think much of him. Made me laugh.
