Yes I know, a very strange blog title… yes I also know it wont hold much keyword weight… But as you will see, this blog post is slightly different than most SEO posts!!
A little while ago I wrote a blog post outlining a few “Twitter Tips” for building followers, outlining a few techniques which I have found to help increase the number of people following your Twitter account, my final point in the blog post was put in as a joke, basically I was suggesting that if you were to use a cleavage photo as your twitter avatar you would naturally build followers (mainly male followers).
What happened next was a surprise and quite frankly shocking!
I have been using Google chrome since 2010 and over the years it has been by far the fastest and most reliable browser by far… Until this morning when for whatever reason it had become corrupted! Arrrrgh! I had to reinstall it, however to my horror all of my chrome extensions had also been removed.
I have been pulling my hair out trying to remember the names of the extensions I use (they usually just appear as an icon) at the top of the browser. So as an effort to save time if this ever happens again I have decided to write this blog post about them, this way I will be able to find them again fairly quickly, it may even prove useful to you guys reading this!

Over the pas 5 years I have been involved in the Epilepsy community in one way or another. In the beginning when I was trying to learn about Tom’s epilepsy I noticed there was very little information on-line about it, other than the “Charities”. The information I was reading was pretty scary, and nothing was written from a “parents viewpoint” which got me thinking about how I could contribute to the community and help support other parents going through what myself and Tom’s mum were.
It was on the way to an SEO conference in London (Distilled’s Link love 2011) with two very good SEO’s who worked with me at Adtrak(@PaulTyler & @BenSpray), when we began discussing what I should do, Ben and Paul suggested I start a blog as it would be the ideal way to get information “out there” and the epilepsy community would be perfect for a blog!!
