New Season, no optimism
07/08/2009
So a new season is upon us and with that comes the hope of promotion? Not quite! This season’s goal will be the same as last year…survival. Plain and simple.

Nickbennett.co.uk hacked….People ask why?
26/07/2009
I have had to remove the last two posts due to them being hacked. The content was replaced with a series of spam URL’s. Seems like a rather pointless attack seeing the lack of traffic the site generates. At its peak the site had 3 visits in 1 week! I have upgraded the version of […]

17/03/2008
The bullet has been bitten, I feared this metaphor might be quite literal after I told my girlfriend how much it cost! “We are not going to be able to get a mortgage in the current climate”. This seemed to work and the blessing was eventually (if not reluctantly) given. The only problem is I […]

Welcome to Nick Bennett’s world
03/02/2008
I’m a keen web developer so I’m hoping to add some interesting walkthroughs. Some of you may be asking “if you’re a web developer then why are you using WordPress and not your own application” to which my answer is “why re-invent the wheel!”. I’m also a keen musician but finding the time to record […]
