Hi folks.
It’s been quite a while since my last blog post but it’s been hectic at the Grant household. For those not aware, Sarah, Rebecca and I were greatly blessed to recieve another new arrival in the form of baby Hannah.
Hannah arrived on the 7th June at 1pm weighing a healthy 6lbs 14oz - a whole pound bigger than her big sister. Hannah’s settling in nicely and Rebecca is becoming more accustomed to her role as big sister - she still manages to steal the limelight though.

In a bid to solve the UK financial crisis, our Prime Minister has seen fit to make iPods a few pounds cheaper.
Woolworths and MFI are just a couple of businesses that have already gone from our high streets and more will follow in 2009 which is a sad reality of our current economic down-turn.
One shining light in all of this though is the web. John Lewis’s high street sales this Christmas past were pretty depressing but their website broke sales records. JL weren’t alone. We spent a fortune during the run up to Christmas. On 8th December we were spending a million quid a minute. UK online sales were expected to top £13.2 billion.

It’s one thing to know what you want to do when you use your website, it’s a different thing altogether understanding what your customers/users are doing.

The new version of SilverStripe is released today for download. There are thousands of updates in place and it should be interesting to take it for a test drive.

Today the SOCITM report for local authority websites was released. I had been eagerly anticipating release of the report this year because my work for South Lanarkshire Council would be featured.

This month’s edition of .net magazine arrived through the door yesterday which I always anticipate. It’s a must read if you’re involved with the web. Sometimes the larger articles aren’t down my street but generally I’m happy with it.
This edition covers the banana skin that is IE6 for web designers & developers. It definitely got me thinking, especially as this site has been relaunched.

This week sees the launch of my new website.
I’m taking a very different approach with this version, intending to be more social and interacting with clients, colleagues and friends on a more regular basis. Social web tools like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Vimeo, Flickr etc. all help in this and I’d encourage you to pop by either of those apps and drop me a line.
