A little bit about Dave

Welcome to my weblog

There’s a variety of content and posts on this site ranging from the serious to the humorous. I am not regimented enough to only blog about one subject I’m afraid – or is it that I’m not that knowledgeable about just one subject? Not sure!

My posts tend to revolve around 4 key subjects: technology, social networking, marketing and personalised communications. It’s these areas in which I spend the vast majority of my professional time. The vast majority of embarrassing photos, stories and updates are kept off this site – so I get to retain my job at the end of the day!

At the moment I am continuing to push the ‘XMPie message’ about personalised and relevant communications out there to as many people, organizations and groups that I can. Improving the way in which organizations communicate with their customer (internal and external) not only saves them money; but also improves their bottom line figures and marketing ROI.

Current ‘spare-time’ projects and tasks that I have been working on

I am currently spending my spare time trying to promote the local community through the revitalisation of several key local websites – namely the local village website and the local primary school site. Both were seriously dilapidated before I started work on them. Now they are both growing in readership and content on regular basis; and helping the local community at the same time.

I have also started up a FREE web hosting service, under the name of Community-Hosts which essentially provides free website hosting for all – but primarily aimed at the community.

Alll of these sites have been created using free tools such as WordPress and Joomla; making it easy to keep them upto date and fresh with content.
