We know clients often choose to work with us because they don’t have the time or skills to write material for their websites in house. Indeed many clients don’t even have the time to sign off on what we’ve written for them. So where does trust come into [...] </article> <article> <h1>What’s a blog? @rednosewine slide at #sechamber social media conference</h1> <p>Elaine Larkin — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 09:52:34 +0000</p> </article> <article> <h1>Does ‘brand journalism’ have a part to play in your digital marketing strategy?</h1> <p>Elaine Larkin — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 09:44:39 +0000</p> We often get approached by clients to write articles or blog posts for them that they can share in ezines or on social media. Having an original piece of material to share that’s hosted on your blog, resources or news section that’s of interest to your target audience is a great way to bring people [...] </article> <article> <h1>Cropping and resizing</h1> <p>Elaine Larkin — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 20:36:07 +0000</p> Imagine you’re back in primary school. There’s some child-friendly glue, child friendly scissors, a scrapbook and a furrow across your brow as you so carefully try to cut a photo from a magazine or comic down to size to fit in with your collage. Okay, I don’t remember doing that but maybe someone somewhere will [...] </article> <article> <h1>Have a Facebook page? Maybe it’s time to help businesses who don’t.</h1> <p>Elaine Larkin — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 22:29:49 +0000</p> Messing around on Facebook lately I stumbled upon Facebook Places Editor. It invited me to contribute details for places in my town, New Ross. I think it’s a great idea. It highlighted a number of places that people are checking into. However, the businesses in question don’t seem to be embracing Facebook, if they do [...] </article> <article> <h1>Top 10 words coined in Twittersphere, have only heard of no. 10</h1> <p>Elaine Larkin — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 07:57:44 +0000</p> Source @theipaperHonestly have only heard no. 10 used before. </article> <article> <h1>We love words so much we drink out of wordy mugs</h1> <p>Elaine Larkin — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 17:18:37 +0000</p> See the full gallery on Posterous We’re such word nerds here that Elaine received a Scrabble mug as a pressie.

If you need a proofreader visit http://webcontent.ie. </article> <article> <h1>What the hell is content?</h1> <p>Elaine Larkin — Tue, 24 May 2011 14:15:47 +0000</p> I have a very simple blog post and a very simple question to ask. What is content? What does the word content mean to you? There are two different words spelled c-o-n-t-e-n-t. The one I am talking about is not the adjective that also means being satisfied. Is content words? Is it video? Is it [...] </article> <article> <h1>Knowing your Osamas from your Obamas</h1> <p>Elaine Larkin — Tue, 03 May 2011 10:22:17 +0000</p> The letters B and S aren’t that close on a keyboard, even writing them, it’s hard to mix them up unlike b and p for example which can cause problems for some people when writing something by hand (as opposed to typing). However, there has been mix-ups in recent days. A Fox news channel in [...] </article> <article> <h1>What’s in a name?</h1> <p>Elaine Larkin — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 14:57:09 +0000</p> Imagine arriving along to a ticketing machine at Heuston Station in Dublin, in a rush at peak travel time, keying in the name of the station you wish to buy a ticket to and finding it’s not there. Cue panic, I’d imagine. A few years ago the same thing happened me. I started typing in [...] </article> <article> <h1>The Links Lark</h1> <p>Elaine Larkin — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 19:56:25 +0000</p> For a good while now we’ve been thinking of doing something with some of the interesting stuff we find on Twitter every day.

But when there’s a lot of chatter about it in a short space of time it’s hard to avoid helping others in their quest for answers when you have the knowledge. First off, if [...] </article> <article> <h1>Being smart about smartphones</h1> <p>Elaine Larkin — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 20:07:15 +0000</p> Call me a hoarder if you wish, but I’ve never been one to easily part with a mobile phone. Sure, I love getting new ones… The problem is more to do with ditching the old phone. And I don’t think I’m the only one! A few years ago a colleague brought a Jack & Jill [...] </article> <article> <h1>Is Monday, 3 January 2011 a bank/public holiday?</h1> <p>Elaine Larkin — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 14:18:28 +0000</p> UPDATE 21 DECEMBER 2012: Wondering whether Tuesday, 27 December 2011 or Monday, 2 January 2012 are days off work? In Ireland, as you can read below: “Where a public holiday falls on a weekend, employees do not have any automatic legal entitlement to have the next working day ie Monday off work… You are still entitled to [...] </article> <article> <h1>Training, events and conferences to spark ideas</h1> <p>Elaine Larkin — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 11:28:38 +0000</p> Information sparks ideas. Learning sparks ideas. But how do you capture these sparks? Any time I attend a conference, event, talk, workshop, course I find myself taking both notes on what the speaker is saying and the ideas sparked in my own mind from what they’re discussing. Currently I’m a participant on the CIME (pronounced [...] </article> <article> <h1>Questions about the internet and having a web presence</h1> <p>Elaine Larkin — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 13:37:52 +0000</p> What’s the most stupidest question you’ve heard (or been too afraid to ask) about websites or internet marketing? Why we want to know is because we’re going to start a new series of articles on the Webcontent.ie blog soon based on these questions. We’ll explain a topic in each article which will be based on [...] </article> <article> <h1>What does the word ‘style’ mean to you?</h1> <p>Elaine Larkin — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 12:41:27 +0000</p> What’s betting that when you think of the word style you think of the world of fashion, glossy magazines, cat walks, people’s appearance and clothes? Correct me if I’m wrong, but to many people that’s what style is. Style means something different to many people who work with words. From marketing departments to book publishing [...] </article> <article> <h1>PR from the journalist’s perspective</h1> <p>Elaine Larkin — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 10:24:53 +0000</p> Quite often, as a journalist, I get asked about PR. Sometimes people like to know just the basics of getting PR, who to send a press release to, how to structure a press release and so on.
