Fatherhood²: Normal Service Will be Resumed Shortly…

Posted on March 22, 2013January 7, 2018 by Henry Elliss

Apologies to anyone who has been disappointed by a lack of posts from me lately – I’m afraid my free evening-time has been taken up with another labour-of-love, this one less father-related and more Lego-centric. I am currently spending most of my evenings clearing the backlog from this project: “Have yourself turned into a Lego…

My top blogging tips – in video form!

Posted on July 23, 2010August 25, 2010 by Henry Elliss

I recently did a small piece-to-camera (can you still call it that when I wasn’t actually looking at the camera? Hmm) for the IAB, as part of a series of videos they are doing with various Social Media council members. I chose to talk about blogging, and if you’d like to see what I said…

Welcome to my brand new blog… possibly! I’ve been mulling over the idea of having my own blog for a few years now (how indecisive am I?!) and have finally decided to dip my toe in the water and see how it feels. It’s not a decision I’m taking lightly though. Just like the issue…
