      Travel B2B TTG needs a reporter, as does CMP's health mag Pulse. And Haymarket's PRWeek is still looking for a reporter -- though with adverts that enthuse "working for PRWeek isn't dull" I'm not surprised they're having trouble.

      Journalism Jobs - July 10

      So, I've been trying to find a more clever/cleverer way of updating this site, so that when I get lazy, you still get content. Haven't figured out a way to automate things yet, but I have realised that this platform (ie blogger) sucks. Might be moving to my shiny own domain -- any advice on good platforms, ie: word press, movable type, or hosting services?

      Enough of that geeky web talk. Here're some jobs.

      Site Update

      ... so I clearly haven't updated this in, uh, two weeks. This is for two reasons:

      1. I've been busy.
      2. I'm working on a bit of an upgrade/redesign/whatever to make my job easier.

      I promise two things:

      1. I'll post a big pile o' jobby goodness tonight, just to make the last two weeks up to y'all.
      2. This site will be more functional/easier for me and prettier for you... soon. Depends how sunny it is this weekend.

      Thanks for all the kind words, and don't worry, I haven't abandoned you yet...
