@darkflare and other ayrshire peeps

Right Iain has put this post out.
This is some from his entry:-

Possible subjects for the blog could be:

general website advice
getting started with social media
social media branding/visual identity tips
web design process (on new sites)
logo development process

I like the first three as especially discussed at twitayr, not everyone out there uses the tools well. People tend to need advice about websites, social media is needed by most companies unless there coca cola or someone that size. Some big organisations dont get social media.

For example (but not the only one) is Prestwick Airport and its twitter feed

They really dont bar 1 example talk about flight information for itself, it could make itself a lot more useful or really a lot. Look at the amount of people following Glasgow Airport and the info. So you can see you can do social media in various ways, sometimes just for piecemeal.

I dont know how many will want to learn web design processes for new sites or developing logo. Branding is important though. I know it took me about 20 hours initially to learn a useful amount of web design, so I am not sure people will want to sit around for that.

I am sure Iain you know what kind of pricing you need to deploy and seeing as this aint my job doing it for other people, I cant really help.

Other guys and girls out there, give Iain your thoughts. Iain is on twitter and even google+

Hello everybody

I hope everyone is good today. It was a fairly quiet day today. Our head office visitors did pass the shops but never came in. It was just before we opened.
On twitter NewMediaBrekkie and AngieT1972.

New Media Brekkie is part of podcastmatters, a group Tartanpodcast used to MD whose podcast I do listen to. I havent heard anything since he left them. I don't know if it is of interest to me. Look at this link and tell me what you guys think. It is a good blog.

AngieT1972 has a blogspot as well. As part of bellahomecouk getting the Ayrshiremaffia to raise our game, I am trying to find more bloggers out there and them following me on twitter, makes it real easy for me to follow them.

I also want to give illiswerryguy, caldjr, snedwan, sir and cdhinton for tweeting this morning.

You may also notice I use statcounter on the site. I get about 200 pageloads a week on thomasblah and even more on cumnockrugby. I aint giving figure out on that. I hope it helps weeyin13 blog, a fellow member of #ayrshiremaffia. Anybody else in Ayrshire going to join us.
While I am talking #hastags, when you see me use #fb on the end of my tweets, it's so that my selective twitter update on facebook activtes are used on facebook. They don't seem to like too many status updates over there. I use it most for rugby ofcourse.

Well it's nearly dinner time, so have a good evening. It was dry for most of today, but as usual when I got off my bus it was raining, typical.

Hello its Tuesday 25th August 11.30pm

Hello everyone out there, what a couple of days. One of the supermarket staff was sacked and that has made work interesting again. I had claire go up to essentials last night and it was ann and me with cameron coming down later. Mr and ann had a busy morning. Steve even shouted to talk to us and got I am on a till and so is Ann.

We got most of the stuff done. I hoovered the carpet this morning as this was the first time since June we opened at 10am. Cameron was down with me at 9am and got a bit done. Steve then just before 11am said for me to go away and come back at 2pm. We had another trainee with Ann, Myra and Cameron, so lots of staff for most of the day.

I decided to head into Ayr with my zone 3 megarider (unlimited journeys)ticket. I went to KFC at heathfield and had a big Daddy meal. I was actually full after this. I had better say hello to weeyin13 on twitter who I tweet on the bus round Ayr. I went to Asda and headed back to the centre of ayr. I got back to work at 2pm and did a few things. A member of staff came to buy things at 8.01pm and we just waved. I had a bus to catch at 8.15pm from reception. No chance.

I came home and I watched Chuck on Virgin 1 (in 3d). I am now tired and heading to bed.

I also have created a plan for next Friday. Rockaoke is on in Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow in Oneills. I havent seen Kirsty Crawford in ages even though Kirsty doesn't do the singing. I have looked at the website and the songlist and there is some songs there I do at karaoke. I have a plan.
