A printed proof can be run out digitally (Digital Proof) or on the printing press (Wet Proof). A Digital proof can be printed on an Inkjet, Bubble Jet or Laser printer, the best quality and most widely used being an Inkjet proof (Cromalin).

On the other hand a wet proof is printed on the actual printing press using the machine, printed plates, paper and inks that will be used to produce the final job. This way you can see exactly how the job will come out. Due to the fact the plates have been created if you were to change something at this late stage it will probably cost you money to get new plates made so be careful and ask your printer for advice.

Commonly a digital proof will be used to check text and alignment whereas a wet proof will give you an accurate run out to check images and colours.

Rich Site Summary (RSS), also referred to as Really Simple Syndication, is an easy way to keep up-to-date with a blog, news headlines or podcasts.

You probably already spend time visiting your favorite bookmarked websites to see if content has been updated or a new blog posted. This is where RSS comes in and saves you time visiting these sites on a regular basis and does the work for you.

What Do I Need To Read RSS?

You need a Feed Reader or News Aggregator that allows you to display RSS content easily. When you click on an RSS icon (above) you are subscribing to that site's feed. This will then go into your feed reader or aggregator. Take a peek at mine below and the feeds I read:

The Feed Reader will display content for you and indicate when new content has been published. This Reader brings all your feed together in one place.

My first blog post starts with an obvious question. Blogging's been around since the mid 90's, why haven't I started one before now?

Well I've been busy with my career, mostly working for other people and only now have my own business. Another reason was mentioned in a recent post by SEO Chick Anita Chaperon following on from the marketing big cheese himself Seth Godin.

The reason being I've been trying hard to get it right first time when there's no real need! It's better to get the information out there, make it interesting and judge the response. Anita and Seth's posts have tipped me over the edge and here I am!

My clients constantly ask questions and now I have a quick and easy direction in which to point them.
