Last but not least

Last but not least i like to bring your attention to a new blog called StephenWelton.com - not surprisingly its from a chap called Stephen Welton!

I got to know Stephen a few weeks ago on messenger and we chatted via msn about his blog. At the time his blog was brand new - he hadnt written any posts and was still tinkering with the design so i had no idea if the blog would be any good or not (sorry stephen!!). When i logged on today i was very pleased to see that not only has he started posting regularly, his posts are actually very good. His latest article on bumpzee is probably a good example of what you can expect. Id reccomend dropping by the blog if you have time (you can also subscribe to his feed here).

hope you enjoyed the links
