We have recently started ‘plugging’ in and playing with our favourite wordpress widgets on a platform for you all to have a wander around, its still in its infancy but if you want to watch us as we work, break and fix the various plug-ins we are testing this is the place to do it …….

Take a peek

As a bit of an experimental foray into the way of the SEO world and as a marketing exercise we decided to build a blog aimed at readers interested in spoiling themselves and those they love. With a mixture of topics and more than one author the aim of the exercise is to give the blog varied but relevant content just as a bit of a test to see what results we could achieve. Its an ongoing project that over time we hope will grow.

We are currently testing out plug-ins for it and would welcome more contributors and article writers.

Pampering for You

As some of you are aware we are spending a little time trialling our favourite plug-ins for wordpress. Over on the WordPress playground we have currently installed plug ins for everything from e-commerce to chat rooms and forums.

Go for a wander and a play and see what is there and if you want dive into the forum over there and add your thoughts and maybe some suggestions on what you would like to see trialled.

Or maybe even suggest your favourite wordpress Plug-ins for us to play with.

We’ll  be adding more over the following days and weeks.
