In no particular order (as my memory isn’t that good) here’s what I did today: 1. Created one whole new page for the UK Offer redesign (version 6). Yes only one page as it was very fiddly and I wanted to get it absolutely perfect in every way. My current pages are just full of bloated code, bad formatting and all sorts of rubbish.

I have to take my hat off to student Alex Tew of Nottingham university. Worried about huge student debts he has set up Million Dollar Homepage. The idea of which is simply that he sells blocks of 10 x 10 pixels at $100 a time. And if he sells them all he will have earned $1,000,000. The good thing is that the press and lots of lots of blogs and forums have jumped on the bandwagon and he is getting … Continue reading →
