    Live Search Link and Live Webmaster

    by James on November 27, 2007

    Well it has been a few weeks now since Microsoft opened the Webmaster tools and also made the Link command work again and I have been trying out both of them. Firstly the Live Search Link commands, this now works by using + in front of the command then the URL you want to check. [...]

    After my investigation into what websites used valid markup I thought it would be interesting to check how accessible some of the sites are based on the W3C WAI Guidelines. In the UK it is, in theory, against the law to not have an accessible website as it discriminates against the Disabled. Disability Discrimination Act [...]

    by James on November 13, 2007

    Does anyone bother conforming to W3C Standards?

    by James on November 13, 2007

    The original reason for me starting this post was for me to justify to myself that this blog does not actually validate using the W3C Markup Validation Service even though I happen to have a Valid XHTML 1.0 logo in my right sidebar(which I will remove after this post).

    You Comment I follow

    by James on November 7, 2007

    Ok so I think I said I followed comments in the past but a couple of people have commented recently and I noticed they were nofollow. I have installed Lucia’s Linky Love so links will actually be nofollow if you have never posted before. I have set the limit to 3 so it wont take [...]

    Invoicing made easy with FreshBooks

    by James on November 6, 2007

    One of the worst part the worst parts of my job is having to invoice clients and do our accounts. I am not sure why really, you would think invoicing someone should be a good job, it means that people owe me money and that is always good. I always used to use Sage Accounts, [...]
