So this is a nod in the direction of a few resources that you may not have discovered just yet.

There has been a recent spate of sites where users can offer services for a specific sum of money. One of the most popular examples is Fiverr, where users can advertise something which they would do for $5. Since its release there have been a few similar platforms and Fiverr clones go live and offer the same service.These sites do not offer anything particularly new; web users have long been able to advertise products/services online with platforms such as EBay, Gumtree, Craig’s List and other similar classified ads websites. Fiverr and other similar sites have just come up with a unique way for people to advertise services online and this has proven to be popular. Read More

Review of Leading Search Engines in 2012
For most people nowadays, their search engine of choice is likely to be Google with an estimated market share of 66%. Like most others, I have been using Google for many years now, it is the first thing I see when I load up my browser and when I want to search for something, I generally load Google straight up.Recently however, I was curious about the other search engines out there, old and new, that I have never really dedicated any time to. I couldn’t honestly say that I have enough experience of any other search engines to fully justify being dedicated to Google. So it was high time I checked them all out, and this post outlines my findings.

How to Determine the Strengths and Weaknesses of Your Website's Architecture
The architecture of a website is an integral part of creating a quality site that is user and search engine friendly.

Search engines like to experience concise and well structured code, a clear navigation and pages where the subject is easily identifiable. Read More -

I’m Tom Howlett, and one of the key changes I’ve seen in 2011 is the Google +1 button. The Google +1 button was introduced in March in the USA and in June in the UK. This was Google’s answer to the Facebook “like” button, which was introduced in 2010. This gave users a chance to click the button if they liked a particular web page or felt it was worth sharing. Webmasters could also add the button to their own websites if they wanted to.

WordPress is becoming an ever popular CMS, used for blogging as well as managing static websites. Part of its success is down to the huge amount of quality site themes that are available as well as it also having a thriving community of users.If you are a company who chose to use WordPress to manage your website, you may have used a theme available on the marketplace, a free theme or you may have sought a custom theme designed specifically for your needs. Either way, you are more than likely left managing the website using the back end and are unable to make any significant changes to the structure and layout without using the services of a WordPress developer.
