A couple of weeks ago I was fortunate enough to be sent on a bloggers press trip to Valencia in Spain on behalf of vtravelled.com. It was an absolutely incredible experience which I will remember for a long time to come. Before departing I had expected to be amazed by the country, the weather, the [...]
A Big Sweeping Update
I haven’t written here much recently and I think it’s about time for an update. I have a lot of different things to mention so I toyed with the idea of doing individual posts for each, but in the end I thought it would be most productive to just do them all in one fell [...]
Joining The WordPress UI Team
I’ve got some rather exciting news to share today which some of you will already know about from a few tweets last Thursday. I’ve just officially joined the core WordPress UI Team – so I’ll be helping to design and develop the WordPress platform on an ongoing basis. How it All Started Since the end [...]
Random Lessons From A Freelancer
There are little things that I learn in this job almost every single day. Sometimes they’re just handy bits of information or useful resources, other times they’re real eye openers to things I’ve been doing wrong. I thought it might be useful to write some down in case anyone else can find some value in [...]

Accounting Corner: VAT & The Flat Rate Scheme
Alright, so this isn’t the most thrilling post-title ever. Hell, if you clicked through from Twitter then you must be either very loyal, or very bored. Accounting isn’t fun and it isn’t particularly interesting but it’s important. For legal reasons I should mention that I’m not an accountant; anything written here is based solely on [...]

There were many fantastic speakers but one of them covered a concept that really got me thinking. Blasting Expectations Out of The Water Admittedly I’m a bit biased when it comes to evaluating [...]
