Adding Twitter’s @Anywhere

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).

Some comments lost

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 [...]

I had a great time customising the Wootheme [...]

A few changes

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 [...]

Why unions should embrace social media

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 [...]
