A Place Called Providence

We’ve started a group blog for our co-working office space in Providence Place.

It ought to be a laugh and give a bit of a sense of the round-the-table conversation we enjoy. Check out aplacecalledprovidence.com.

Authentic Blogging courses in Brighton

My partner Libby has just started up a series of courses on blogging, and along with it a new blog at authenticblogging.com which aims to introduce people to blogging as a creative process, and finding an authentic voice in community.

The first course is starting in the Autumn term at Varndean College in Brighton. Places are limited and I get the feeling that these are going to be popular, so if you are interested, get in quickly.

I’m likely to be helping out a little in these courses; but only a little. The focus is very much on the creative process  and not on the technical details.

How to save the server

Nik Cubrilovic has written a really useful summary of how he dealt with lots of hits coming in to TechCrunch after posting shots of the Google Calendar.

He reconfigures Wordpress, Apache and the blog templates themselves to end up with a vastly improved server performance.

Thanks Nik.
