Some of you may remember me posting about my pregnancy – well Olivia Niamh was born 2 weeks early on 20th February, taking us a little by surprise.

See, I’d planned to be a good little blogger and practice what I preach. I’d written and set up scheduled blogs for all of my clients, I’d planned the blogs I was going to write for myself, and then I was out of time – so no blogs from me for the last week!

A few people have asked recently what the law is relating to competitions, so I turned to my favourite online law company, Lime One for some answers.

They sent me a link to this fab PDF which will help you to know:

  • What a competition IS
  • What the information about a competition must contain
  • Tips if you are running a competition
  • When is a competition not a competition

It’s worth a read if you’re considering running any sort of competition and want to stay on the right side of the law!

Eternal clockOne of the things I hear most often when I talk to people about promoting their websites themselves, is that it ‘takes too much time’ and they ‘don’t know where to start’.

Well, while I can see where they’re coming from on the second point, the first one doesn’t ring true with me. It’s not about spending loads of time every day, it’s about doing SOMETHING every day and seeing the effort pile up and bring results. It’s about not giving in because you ‘don’t have the time’ and not putting things off because you’re ‘not sure how’.
