I have added a directory of Edinburgh websites that are involved with web design so I can start building a list of everybody who is involved, you can have a look at it here, Edinburgh web design directory

I am also glad to announce that I am no longer supplemental in my Google results, whoo hoo!!
I can only imagine that Matt Cutts himself came down from on high to lift my site out of the first circle of hell. But, am sure it is simply to do with the fact that the googlebot cam back and spidered the site.

logo for the brains behind new york website

I have been working on a logo for my website the brains behind new york and stated to play around with the world famous 'I love NY' image created by Milton Glaser and now a registered trademark.

The logo is still very rough and looks different across different browsers but it is a start and am sure the end product will look very different in the end

supplemental results in Google for the brains behind new york

I have been reading up on supplemental results in Google and what this might mean for your web site, and according to Matt Cuts over at Google this is not a result of any penalty but rather a reflection on the pagerank of the site itself.

Content First or Design First

Am debatting whether I should but content first on the page and then begin to look at how to lay it out but I have in my head already what I want it to look so I might just start with a list of links to websites that I think have really good design. This list of sites will then give viewers a little background to where I would like the site to go and how I would like it to look. The bottom line being that I have still no idea what the website will do let
