- Essential WordPress Plugins
[NB: This post is a work in progress] Our favourite blog platforms has to be WordPress. We’re regularly building new blogs and mini websites based on WordPress and, despite it being a regular habit, we often forget our own complete list of plugins! So for your benefit as much as ours, here’s our list of [...] - Web Tools
I thought I’d start bookmarking the tools I use on the web in a place that’s easy for me to remember and easy to share with the readers. So here, in no particular order, are the tools I use. Bookmark this page and come back to see it evolve. Content Management Systems Joomla! – Probably [...] - Top Tools
There’s probably a million lists out there detailing the top tools for webmasters, developers, designers and SEOs but none of them are mine, so I created my own. Actually, I created this list because I run at least 5 machines and I needed a place where I can remember what the hell I plugged in [...] - Analytics Benchmarking
Google Analytics has become the weapon of choice for one of my clients as it does an admirable job of splitting their paid and non-paid traffic, particularly helpful seeing as they’re runnning an Adwords campaign or two. Today I noticed in Google Analytics’ menu there’s a Benchmarking (Beta) button under the Visitors heading. “Benchmarking is [...] - Google’s New Webmaster tools
We’ve been clamouring for Google to revise the Google Webmaster Tools for some time now, and taking the webmaster tools user survey seems to be paying dividends. The toolset so far has been fairly simple but it looks like Google are listening to webmasters and putting out some really useful, really helpful new webmaster tools [...] - Make Google results pages easier to read

Normally you see, in a Google results page, the following data: [title][description][link] When you’re looking for something in a hurry e.g. checking out other competitors in the SEO game, you often need to peruse the [...] - DW8 FTP Slow
Is Dreamweaver 8′s FTP client too slow? Is it driving you nuts? Time outs? Connection breaks? Well, here’s the answer…. Use Filezilla instead. I got fed up with DW8′s FTP timing out and leaving me with hug installs on one of my servers having missing files. So when I found Friday’s upload was incomplete I [...] - Best CSS Optimizer/Optimiser
This has got to be my favourite CSS Formatter/ CSS Optimizer/ CSS optmiser/ CSS compressor. It’s got a number of options in which, for example you can make the file highly compressed yet still readable or totally compressed and virtually unreadable or totally readable with less compression. You can even feed highly compressed CSS files [...] - DW8 Find & Replace \n
I just found out something really cool in DreamWeaver 8′s Find & Replace, here’s the crack… I had a compressed & optimised CSS file, with no line breaks. Thing is that I needed a version WITH line breaks so that it can be worked on a bit easier THEN optimised and compressed. Trouble is that [...] - Google Notebook
This new Google Notebook feature is handy. At long last we don’t have to just cut & paste URLs into our bookmarks or CTR-D the page when we get there, we can also note URLs from within Google and write notes to go with them. Look, we’ve searched Google for 22i design Farnborough. In the [...]
