Well it was to promote the web site. Very sedentary day today. . . got locked into design for my business cards. All good as I need to get on the case and sort out some marketing.
I spent some time on the excellent Sitepoint and signed up for some emails to help me in my efforts to gain some new clients.

As luck would have it my fabulous friend Jayne had dropped me an email recommending an excellent company to print my business cards, but I wont tell you who they are just yet as I am already 'avin' a word about the special offer that did not quite turn up.
I spent most of the day designing and redesigning and sending my design to well respected friends and partner for comments and assistance. I didn't want something too boring or too cheesey, but did want to reflect my web design and development web site which has been up for a bit and say I am in Crystal Palace.
It's so much easier when you are not the client. Finally came up with the goods and went to upload and pay to take advantage of the £2.99 for 250 offer plus a bit of shiny foil to set it off when it all just started to hang . . . and hang . . . and hang.I watched the little clock tick away until I thought this is not right and went to check my order. Sure enough it's not there. Pfff!
By the time I managed to place the order the offer had run out? Surely not - it was only 4.40pm GMT and hardly the end of the business day. Oh well. I need the cards so I just pressed the rob me now button and sent a follow up email. I need some flyers printing so I guess they might help me out with this.
I did have a look at some SEO stuff, but post bank holiday was not the best place to start studying.

No sport today. Swim tomorrow and the legendary Fruitcake to keep me focused on my stroke. It's only 2 weeks till my first Olympic Distance in Northampton and I am starting to get a bit scared. It's not the bikey, not even the thought of the 10k at the end, but the 1500m swim start. Apparently I need to remain "lifeless in the water" - Dave the Whale, but all I do is end up all tense and swim like a brick . . . it seems the less I try at the this the easier it is. Strange.

Does thinking about it count? As usually happens on a Tuesday the studio waited and waited all day and I did not turn up, but it's not so bad. I finished a painting on Friday and started a new one for a competition, which will probably be too late to dry. Nevermind. Always next year. Nervous laugh.
Really looking forward to getting my own space starting in September - is that next week? Where the web and the art will all be in one place so when I am not on the web case I will be on the art case and that will hopefully mean more creative web and art stuff.
All part of the plan
