What a browser does with different files is very much up to the browser, and for the most part that’s exactly the way it should be. It’s up to the user how they deal with downloads, and you should really have users who know to right-click and choose “save file as…” or similar when they’re [...]

I’ve been working for myself now for nearly five years. It was November 2006 I first registered for VAT, having done a bit of freelancing for a little while before that. I’ve loved every minute of what I’ve been doing since and it’s going from strength to strength. I’ve learned more than I thought possible [...]

Wow – it’s been a long time coming, hasn’t it? I’ve been off actually doing what I’ve been telling you all about – for the most part! Sometimes we all slip up, so I’ll tell you about that now. As ever, you can see all the previous parts of the series here. So last time [...]

Normal service will resume soon, hopefully, after an upcoming big announcement. H2BYW will be finished – there’s probably one episode left. But I’ve not had time to think for a while. One of the reasons is an awful lot of WordPress dev work, and I’m hoping to share some of the fancy stuff I’ve been [...]

Cripes. Seven whole parts. We’re in deadly sin territory, here… and today we’ll be discussing how not to sin with your project management! Ha ha ha ha I’m so clever. Anyway, if you’d like to see all the earlier parts, click here – and you can also sign up to the mailing list for future [...]

Up to part V, and what’s that bleep-bleep-bleep sound? That’s right, it’s the “vital post” alarm going off. You could have skipped the earlier posts if you already had a fairly good idea of what you want your site to do and who you want to do it, but this post should apply to everyone. [...]

Part IV of the series I am now ashamed to be calling “H2BYW”. It’s easier for Twitter, you see. Anyway – you can go back to part I to find out about whether you need a website or not, and what it should do; to part II for a quick guide to how websites actually [...]

Wow – up to part III already! In part I we looked at how to work out what you want. In part II, we took a meander down the techy road of how the web works. Today, we’ll be looking at those talented individuals who actually make things happen, and how to pick them. It’s [...]

Welcome to part II of our series on how to buy your website. Last time, we talked about the first step – working out what you need. You should now have a rough list of ideas, links and suggestions from your customers – hang on to those. Today we’ll be taking a tiny diversion to [...]
