Regular readers would have noted not so regular posts here over the past 3 or so weeks and that sometimes posts and comments went missing and then reappeared. We had a hiccup early July with a cpanel crash and have been limping ever since. This weekend my web guy shifted all the sites I manage to a new machine and we hope (and pray) that this will sort the problems out and I can get back to regular blogging. It has been rather disconcerting to write posts and publish them, only to find they … [Read more...]
Blog update
I've had a temporary web server glitche over the past week with the server re-setting itself. Consequently posts I was writing and publishing were getting lost as any backups were older than the resets taking place. Hopefully this is now resolved and I can get back to regular blog posting. … [Read more...]

A Client Surprise
Some people have 'wordless Wednesdays' on their blogs and just post a photo. Well, I have a photo to post and it's Tuesday and I won't be wordless about it either. I want you to drink in this beautiful sight. The doorbell rang and I thought it was a client who was overdue and I called out 'I'll be there in a minute.' When I got there, no-one was at the door but looking down there was a beautiful arrangement of flowers. My immediate thought was my husband - I'd been getting over some dental … [Read more...]
National Secretaries Day – when is it exactly?
Around the world this day has different names: Administrative Professionals Day National Secretaries Day National Admin Professionals Day National Professional Admin Officers Day and many others. And it has different dates around the world too. In Australia radio stations and florists often get it mixed up, but this isn't entirely their fault. The calendar publishers also get it wrong - taking the date from the US instead of checking with the originators of this special day here in … [Read more...]

My Anniversary Week – one more gift
I thought it would be good to finish off this week of anniversary posts with one more gift from me. Some of you will be aware that I also provide web hosting services. This grew out of a client's need for support a few years ago - the host I was using at the time offered me a dedicated VDS so I could administer my client hosting accounts and maintain them on my own without having to wait for him to respond to support calls to set up new accounts. This was a good working partnership for me and … [Read more...]
