I'm alive

Phew! It's still September. I've made it.

I've been trying to write a new blog for ages... well since my last one at the beginning of August actually. But I've also been trying to get my website live and that has kind of taken over. Let me just repeat that MY WEBSITE HAS TAKEN OVER.

Now that might not sound like much of a feat since there are literally billions of websites on the internet. But to a professional copywriter, having one's one own website is like a plumber with non-dripping taps, a landscape gardener with a patio and a mechanic with at least one car that actually starts in the morning.

So... having succeeded in this mammoth task, I am now the proud host of www.forrest-turner.co.uk, a website dedicated to me and my work. Yes, yes, it's terribly self-indulgent but it is kind of necessary these days - especially if one's title is Content Editor.

Of course, being online means I need to do all that clever Search Engine Optimisation stuff or the whole thing will be a total waste of time. I need to make content so the nosy little web spiders find my site and send googlers searching for a 'writer' or 'writing training courses' will find my site in the top seven and not seven billion searches.

Wonder how long it will be before anyone finds this little missive?
