It’s been a little while since I updated, but I think I have a good excuse 
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!
The Tweetvine is abuzz today with the story of Michael Werch and his experience of ‘twitter-squatting’. Michael took on the persona of Heinz, and tweeted as them for a short while, to see how many followers he could build up, and what the consequences could be.
As it happens, he only managed to build up 300 or so followers (rising now!) and a couple of weeks before Heinz jumped on him and complained to Twitter, who changed his profile to make it clear that he wasn’t an official representative.
The interesting part, to me, is this quote:
This is a bit of an unusual blog post, because it’s not about a service I provide, and it’s not about a client of mine. But it IS a massive recommendation for a website and a lady you need to know if you’re thinking of starting a business in France.
Valerie runs Start Business in France, a fantastic website full of help and advice for anyone looking to start and run a business in France. The blog offers free advice, and the forum is a mine of useful information and one on one advice from Valerie herself.
I don’t often have guest blogs here on the NikkiPilkington.com blog, as I’ve usually got enough to say myself!
However, things have been a little hectic recently so today I’m delighted to share with you a guest blog from Dave Thackeray, a man who came into my life about 5 years ago on a long day in Spain that involved watermelon, golf and ball gowns. 
If you haven’t checked out Dave’s blog, please do!
And of course, please have your say in the comments below!
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:
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!
