Brilliance in Blogging – this time it’s personal!

May 6, 2014 by geekmummy 3 Comments

It may be said that I am just a teeny tiny bit competitive… There’s a reason the geekdaddy has banned me from ever playing Monopoly (seriously – you don’t just lose – you get ground down until you have nothing, whilst all the time thinking “if someone would just land on my hotel I can get […]

I’m going to Blog On #BlogOnMOSI

July 18, 2013 by geekmummy 15 Comments

This weekend I’m heading off to another blogging conference (and I can just see several of you rolling your eyes and saying “not ANOTHER blogging conference”, but bear with me). This one is different because it’s the first conference organised by Blogs Up North, who are dedicated to organising blogging events in the North of […]

Thank You

July 1, 2013 by geekmummy 10 Comments

Just over a week ago I attended the BritMums Live blogging conference in London. I went last year with the geekdaddy, and we had the most amazing time.

How to protect your wordpress blog

WordPress is a hugely popular blogging platform – according to a study undertaken last year almost half of the top 100 blogs worldwide are hosted on WordPress.

A couple of thank yous, and a plea

March 13, 2013 by geekmummy 6 Comments

I must confess I’ve been having a little bit of a blogging wobble recently. I’ve found myself sitting in front of my PC in the evenings trying to write, with no words coming. I recently wrote a guest post for the BritMums blog all about how to handle blogging burnout, so I’ve had to take […]
