		<title>Photobox offers &#8211; when online special offers aren&#8217;t so special</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s 30th July 2010 today and I used a website called Photobox to order several printed photos that I&#8217;d uploaded to them.  Everything worked well as usual but it&#8217;s fair to say that I could be classed as being an occasional user (perhaps 2 or 3 times a year).   However, occasional user that I may [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flipboard on iPad &#8211; now Google should be scared</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It doesn&#8217;t take a lot of justification to invest in an iPad but the decision has now been made a lot easier with the launch of Flipboard.
There is plenty of info on Flipboard on the page http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/blogs/posts/archive/2010/07/23/flipboard-shows-us-the-future-of-content.aspx?utm_source=newsletter&#38;utm_medium=email&#38;utm_campaign=newsletter but in a nutshell the app allows you to aggregate social media and other online content all into your [...]]]></description>

		<title>England Flags &#8211; Stock Control, Stupidity, and Opportunity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Walking past a branch of a sports store chain last week there was a huge stall outside selling large England flags for 10p each.   Clearly, the store had overstocked, hoping for a better England performance and hadn&#8217;t negotiated a sale or return deal.  At 10p each they&#8217;d still have been making a fair loss on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Folding up the England flags – 4 years is a long time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All over the UK, houses are returning to pure brick and glass as the long-suffering England supporters fold up their flags and put them into storage.
There are many analogies that can be drawn between business and the failure of England to beat Germany yesterday but the subject I’d like to focus on today is the [...]]]></description>

		<title>England v Success &#8211; The World Cup of Business</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you walk around any part of England at the moment you&#8217;ll find houses adorned with England flags.   The more passionate about England, the less brickwork is visible.   There is a lot of passion about our national football team.
But imagine what could be achieved if that passion for football could be translated into a passion [...]]]></description>

		<title>nPower &#8211; how to create negative publicity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Readers of Martin Lewis&#8217; MoneySavingExpert may have seen this week that there was an offer to win a free £400 fridge.  The offer was perfectly genuine (http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/free-energy-efficient-fridges) and the added attraction is that nPower wouldn&#8217;t use your details to cross-sell to you.
However, when trying to go to that website, even a couple of days after [...]]]></description>

		<title>Website development costs &#8211; why they need to be spread out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For most of the past decade I&#8217;ve been working with companies that want to gain more from their websites.  In that time though there&#8217;s always been one consistent sticking point &#8211; the costs to redevelop an existing website/create a new website from scratch.
The sticking point is always price and it&#8217;s a mammoth task to convince [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google Backgrounds &#8211; Copying Bing.com or Just Search Engine Evolution?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[10th June 2010 was the day that the Google page changed, introducing background images instead of there being the familiar blank space.   Who knows what was behind that decision but there are likely to be comparisons to Bing.com, who have been providing pretty pictures for some time now.   Are Google copying Bing?   Possibly (but with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hadrian’s Wall Taxi Company – A Glimmer Of Innovation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Following on from the last blog that focused on the lack of innovation along the Hadrian’s Wall trail, I remembered that there was just one bright spot, which started before the walk and continued during the walk. 
I’d set up Twitter so that I was picking up on anyone tweeting about Hadrian’s Wall, a few weeks [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hadrian’s Wall Trail Businesses Living In The First Century</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve just come back from a coast-to-cast walk, which followed the Hadrian’s Wall trail.  It wasn’t a walk in the park and in fact was a real challenge.  It did highlight though how much lack of innovation there was from businesses in the area.  
Although most people doing such a walk will be quite well prepared, [...]]]></description>
