    In my first post on Social Sustainability, where I talked about the importance of sharing, I mentioned that I had been thinking of writing a post about blogging – well, here it is!

    I mentioned here the other day that this blog was hacked and I thought I had resolved it – now I’m not so sure. The hack is a tricky one because the spam it is displaying is only visible in Google Reader! (and not in any other RSS reader). I have completely deleted all the…

    I have been very quiet on this blog for the last few weeks – apologies for that but I can’t promise on the pace returning to the two or three posts a day I was averaging at times last year. Why? I have been spending a lot of time on the micro-blogging site, Twitter. Twitter…
