    May 26, 2011 by Edd Turtle

    Here are some innocent tips and tricks to get your website to load faster behind the scenes. Most of them are either simply good practice or tools to help you out along the way. If you have any more ways to speed up your site leave a comment at the bottom of the page.

    1. Valid Code

  5. 7 Ways to Twitter Heaven

    April 17, 2011 by Edd Turtle

    1) Update your Status Regularly

    Why do people follow you on Twitter? – So they can read your statuses of course therefore try update your twitter status on a regular basis. This should help you gain more followers while also pleasing your current followers. Having said this, you shouldn’t update it too regularly either as this might put people off.
