Just click here

July 4th, 2010

You’d think by now that we’ve have developed a more elegant way of putting such a fundamental concept across but many websites still continue to stick with click here as their call to action.

They don’t have to do that though and usually it’s much more effective to put a meaningful phrase in the “click here” link but seemingly they can’t be bothered to put that extra little bit of effort into their marketing. That’s a shame really as search engines generally look at the information within the link and “click here” doesn’t give them anything to work with.

Obviously it’s not always possible to put a truly meaningful phrase in the link but, usually, it is.

Why go for acne cream when you can attack the underlying problem?

July 4th, 2010

The really puzzling thing about acne treatments is that pretty much all of them are basically just creams to cover up and, hopefully, get rid of the spots in due course. Acne is actually down to the hormones pulsing through teenagers: it’s far more than just the visible spots.

Thus something like acnepril seems long overdue.

Whether it works for you is something that you’ll only find out by trying it out as it comes under the heading of cosmetic treatments rather than medical ones so hasn’t been fully tested (though the ingredients seem fine).

A final blast of busyness on the last day of school

July 1st, 2010

Boy do we need a holiday after the last few weeks which seemed like an endless stream of end of school events to be fitted in around normal life!

Quite how anybody with more than a couple of kids copes at this time of year I don’t know. Well, I suppose I do – they just don’t go to all the events because they can’t fit everything in. That’s a shame as it disappoints the kids but when you’ve a school that tries to pack so much into just a couple of weeks, what else can you do?

The final day ended up fairly hectic too as the school closes at noon and there’s quite a heap of last minute things that need done that morning.

Oh well, we’ve a couple of months to rest before it all starts again. Or, rather, we don’t as there’s the summer events to fit in too with the first raft of them starting tonight with the July 1st Somme parade, then a heap of things over the weekend mainly with an American independence theme.
