Our latest blogs

Blog title	Short introduction

Actually, Twitter does work!	From being a bit of a skeptic - from a privacy and social viewpoint - I think I'm a convert... on my own terms.
We're on Facebook	Never too late - and actually this is a real test of technology for our customers. We have created a way to update and change landing pages on Facebook - making them look pretty!
EU Privacy Directive - Our Solution	The Information Commissioners Office says businesses should be showing they're taking this seriously. We're doing it for our customers at least and later for the Drupal community as a whole.
Single Page SEO	Some times you want to try and promote a service in a particular area. Something quick and easy to do.
HMRC 12 character password limit	Why can't government implement IT systems intelligently? A password character limit - how 20th century.
Winning a bottle of champagne	We never win anything, but today we did. There's a bit of a story behind it. From the Witney Trade Fair too.
EU Cookies Directive	On 23rd May we're all supposed to be telling users what information we're collecting about them through the website. The interpretation is unclear.
Will Facebook kill the website?	It's easy to set up a Facebook page, or many other social media pages for your Oxfordshire based business - why have a website then?
The 960 grid system	An effective way of design for websites - introduced to us by the guy who designed the Oxford Philomusica site.
SSH Connection Refused after Ubuntu upgrade	We kept getting a connection refused message after upgrading the server (standard openssh apt-get upgrade). Seems like an entry was added into the sshd_config file.
Microsoft now supporting Drupal	A Witney based law firm asked us about Drupal support in Oxfordshire and beyond. The answer is, there's loads of it.
Your website is now regulated by the ASA	Advertising Standards Authority. Your website. Joking. No.
European e-Privacy directive for website cookies	New rules come into force on May 25th
The Search Engine Results Page - How do we use it?	We all know SEO is important, but do we actually know how people use search engine results and what this means for your website?
