Rank Math is my new favourite SEO WordPress plugin 23.07.2021

Rank Math is a  fantastic SEO plugin, and it’s relatively new in this space. I’ve been using Yoast SEO for years, and I really enjoyed their traffic light system. However, I spotted Rank Math in the list of WordPress plugins and decided to give it a try. In the past, I tried the All In One plugin, but I was not too fond of the lack of helpful steps that Yoast came with. If you enjoyed th...

Not sure what to write today? Try using writing prompts. 22.07.2021

For yesterday’s blog post ,  I had no idea what to write. I was sat there the day before thinking,  “what can I write about today?”. I asked my wife for ideas, and she also had no idea. This was when I decided to go to Reddit, Twitter and a few  other places to gain ideas. However, even though these usually work for me, I still had no idea what my next topic was. I then decided to s...

How to be in the top 1 percent of podcasters and feel inspired 15.07.2021

— Jack Butcher (@jackbutcher) June 18, 2021 "90% of podcasts don’t get past episode 3. That’s 1.8 million who quit. Of the 200,000 left, 90% will quit after 20 episodes. That’s another 180,000 gone. To be in the top 1% of podcasts in the world you only need to publish 21 episodes." https://t.co/IDH9XOmYnu If you enjoyed this post, please consider supporting me on Ko-Fi .

Incorrect dentist appointment. Seeing a cat. Loki. New movies and what I'm reading. 10.06.2021

I thought my dentist appointment was today but I was wrong, it's next month on the 8th. I did, however, find a very friendly cat. Loki is out now, and the first episode was very enjoyable. I highly recommend people check it out on Disney+. New movies are coming out, too, which is great to see. Please support me on Ko-Fi .

Recording early to reduce background noise and going to the dentist 08.06.2021

I recorded this podcast episode a little earlier than usual to avoid noise from my next-door neighbour. I've also got a dentist appointment at 11:30 because I broke a tooth on a hard seed. ( Check out Huel, by the way! ). Also, I have my COVID appointment booked for this Saturday (I can't remember if I said it previously). The series I watched on Netflix is called Abstract: The art of design . Ple...

Heading to Somerset and why bands need UV sensors 31.05.2021

We went to Paignton zoo with my family 30.05.2021

Today I visited Paignton zoo with my wife, brother, his partner and my nephews. There was fun to be had, and it was lovely. Have a great Sunday. I also want to apologise for the quality of this episode. It was recorded on my iPhone and sounded like it was recorded with a potato. I won't be doing another recording like this again.
