Topic #30 Give us your story
This entry was inspired by this weeks Topical Tuesday´s topic  Give us your story It seems a little ironic that at a time when I really do have something to blog about I am less inclined to do so. Truth is I am far too caught up with designing other peoples sites – and its at this point when I realise why so many designers own blogs are neglected.

Hostgator reviewed : Day 1
Yesterday I moved to Hostgator because they were the greenest host I could find at a price I could afford.  Here are my initial thoughts.
