UK Labour continue to impress, coming out with a very impressive web app only days after the general election.
Adding Twitter’s @Anywhere
by admin on 19. Apr, 2010 in Blog, Technology
Twitter has launched a new feature, called @Anywhere, for websites to integrate elements of Twitter onto their websites. This allows you to use your Twitter login to join or log into their website, as well as add Twitter-style popups over names that are Twitter accounts (such as @alexanderwhite, @UKLabour, or @climateprogress). This means you can [...]
Some comments lost
by admin on 19. Mar, 2010 in Blog
I’ve finalised the move from my old host (3iX) to my new host (Digital Pacific). Unfortunately the move means that some of the recent comments (in March) have been lost. This is a real shame, but unfortunately nothing can be done. I’m lucky I was able to save all of my old posts after the [...]
More problems with my web host
by admin on 17. Mar, 2010 in Blog
I’m experiencing more problems with my hosting service 3iX, which have caused major issues with the back end of my blog (making it difficult to upload new content). I’ve finally found a way around this by using a third party updater (Press This), but updates may be sparse over the next few weeks until I [...]
Website outage now fixed
by admin on 02. Mar, 2010 in Blog
Had some major hosting problems from my host 3ix, who were finally able to restore a backup (meaning one of my posts was lost). This underscores the importance of having a reliable host, and of making regular backups of your site.
Four pillars of social networking
by admin on 30. Nov, 2009 in Blog, Campaigning
I often get asked by friends, colleagues and acquaintances about why x, y, or z social networking tool is useful. (The question is alternatively phrased to ask me to justify why social networking is not just a waste of time.) I think many people of a certain age (even Generation X) find it very difficult [...]
Featured on Wootheme's Showcase
by admin on 14. Oct, 2009 in Blog, Opinion
Very happy today to discover that Sub Rosa Magazine has been showcased at Woothemes. I’m an enormous fan of Woothemes, and as I’ve said elsewhere, I not only think their theme designs are great, but their support service is awesome and as is the easy theme upgrades. I had a great time customising the Wootheme [...]
A few changes
by admin on 04. Oct, 2009 in Blog
Any regular visitor of my blog would recognise that there’s been another change. I anticipate that this will be the last for a while (although I thought that about the last change). Although the appearance of this site has altered, it still uses WooThemes as its base – basically as I become more proficient in [...]
A creative manifesto
by admin on 25. Aug, 2009 in Blog, Opinion
Every good cause has a manifesto these days. Here’s the Creative Unions manifesto – the new social venture started by Atosha and myself to promote powerful union design and communications. Check it out. Let us know what you think. Send us a tweet @creativeunions or visit our Creative Unions Facebook page.
Why unions should embrace social media
by admin on 24. Aug, 2009 in Blog, Campaigning, Opinion
The new social media is a very powerful thing. It allows unions to have intimate, personal conversations with hundreds, if not thousands of members, potential members and supporters. No longer are unions reliant on the old forms of media (news papers, television, radio), or on face-to-face conversations between organisers and workers. Social media allows for [...]
