Wow, has it really been 6 months since I made my last posting? I must get back into the habit of posting much more often.

My excuse is that I have been busy in my new job as an SEO manager for a firm that builds websites for accountants and solictors here in the UK.

I've also been busy redesigning my own site at Forest Software and getting to grips with twitter (you can follow me as forestsoftware if you want to) and exploring LinkedIn.

Anyway, I will try to update this blog much more often in the future.
