Joel Comm, internet marketing machine says that to improve content on your site, you need to improve spelling. Well maybe this is where I'm going wrong.
I met Joel (.) Comm at an internet marketing conference in Las Vegas earlier this year. Yes me and my colleague Helen were sent to Las Vegas for 10 days to learn all we could from the Americans. Joel was a very nice man who I insulted in the lunch queue when he asked if we were from London. There is more than one city in the whole of the UK we said, Joel laughed and wandered off to a table far, far away from us.
Anyway, I think Joel's right spelling is important and if I read something that's spelt wrong it drives me mad - people are paid good money to make sure things are spelled correctly right?
So why can't I spell then?
Why do I have to get everything spelled checked by my computer and then by lovely Joy on reception. Even then every so often I get one of our members pointing out that they would like to 'Refer a friend' and not 'Refer a fiend'.
My argument is that I have a degree in English not spelling.

Pizza and undies
Win4now, the home of life saving prizes... imagine you are housebound this spring due to the mountains of crisp, sparkling snow on the street outside.
Fear not though, all you need is Win4now to save you from starvation and dirty underwear. We're giving away a whole season worth of pizza which equals about 2 large sized pizzas every week for three months and there's no need to wash your smalls as you could also win £250 to spend at Agent Provocateur's online boutique. Although if you're a man you might just use them to mop up all those pizza stains...
Amazing undies

The Oldies
No I'm not talking about Rob and Kerry, I'm talking about Radio 2.
Regular readers of the blog will know that in our office we listen to Radio 2 and the best bit of the day is when Steve Wright shuts up and plays the oldies in an afternoon. To maybe get some sneaky advertising for Win4now we've decided to submit our own list of oldies for Steve Wright to play. So far on my list I have 'Here I go Again on My Own' from Whitesnake and that's it, Rob is busily writing a list but the sooner we submit it the sooner Win4now could be broadcasted across the whole of the UK.
If you have any suggestions for our selection of Oldies please add them!

Every had a day of doing so much that nothing gets done?
I need to go on some kind of time management course. Last week me and Liam went on an assertiveness course so we could strap on a pair in the work place. I have no evidence to share with you if this has worked or not - I think I'm a bit meaner though. I learned that to be assertive is to negotiate, to be aggressive is to punch someone and to be passive is to be a doormat. I am currently inbetween the doormat and slamming the door in people's faces, so I suppose that's progress.
