Education is not something I blog about often but it is something that is important to me. I’m not a great fan of traditional systems but learning in general. It doesn’t matter what you learn, it matters that you learn. Some people go on to do awesome, world-changing things it’s their studies, some become corporate […]

A Confession
With the announcement yesterday of the details of ProBlogger Event 2014, I have a little confession to make. I still haven’t listened to the sessions I didn’t attend last year.

It’s on Monday nights (9pm EST), US time, which is about midday Tuesday here in Australia (depending on where you are in Australia). The Blog Trends chat kicks […]
How To Reorganise Your Pinterest Boards
Reorganising (or reorganizing if you’re visiting my site from America!) your Pinterest boards is a huge task. But it’s well worth it and you can get a lot of value out of it. Reorganising your boards is a task that can take a long time – you can set aside an entire day for […]
