Learn content writing techniques

Kerry Butters — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:16:54 +0000

Writing is one of those things that a lot of people want to do for a living, with many achieving their dreams, others being disheartened by the relentless rejection slips and yet more desperately attempting to scrape a living online by offering their creative work for very little money, or for free, so that they can feel that they have ...

Last Action Heroes

Ross McRae — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 17:14:49 +0000

If The Expendables proved anything it was that people love action movies, and more to the point action stars. It didn’t matter whether the storyline blew you away, which is good, because it didn’t, but then that was never the point. What we all wanted from The Expendables is what we got, some of the all-time greatest action men sharing screen ...

The May Top Three.

Ross McRae — Sat, 01 Jun 2013 09:21:42 +0000

As another month rolls to a close, it’s time once again to tell tales of cinematic triumphs and woes. Before we get started with the usual top three it is only fair to say that the top spot has already gone. Perched on that highest of podiums is Star Trek into Darkness, but as I went on about that last week ...

To Boldly Go Again

Ross McRae — Fri, 24 May 2013 19:27:22 +0000

As anyone who is partial to a bit of science fiction, my path has crossed with Star Trek on more than one occasion. Growing up I saw various episodes of the original series, and the subsequent spin-off Movies. In my last year of secondary school I watched the thirtieth anniversary programming, caught my first glimpse of The Borg, and after viewing ...

Ray Harryhausen R.I.P.

Ross McRae — Fri, 17 May 2013 12:43:50 +0000

When I was a kid you could rely on certain films being played at certain times, a bank holiday weekend couldn’t go by without a James Bond movie; likewise there are films that would always grace the Christmas schedule, like The Land before Time, The Wizard of Oz, and Jason and the Argonauts. There are different reasons why those first two ...

The Iron Marvel

Ross McRae — Fri, 10 May 2013 11:24:16 +0000

Being someone who has read quite a few comics over the years, the comic book movie has always been something that’s peaked my interest. Of course there have been a slew of such movies in the last decade or so, but it’s not a new phenomenon, cinema screens have been showing the exploits of Superman and Batman since the 1940’s, in ...

SEO Copywriting [infographic]

Kerry Butters — Wed, 08 May 2013 14:45:18 +0000

The Google updates last year sent everyone into a spin but for the copywriter, it’s a blessing. This is because now we have good reason to say no to high keyword density with viable proof to back us up in saying it’s bad practice. Attempting to stuff copy with keywords that will have to occur around 5 times in every 100 ...

So that was April

Ross McRae — Fri, 03 May 2013 11:00:47 +0000

This month it had been difficult to choose a top three, not because I’m spoiled for choice, because there were only five contenders. There are two definites, Rise of the Guardians (2012), which I talked briefly about last week, and The Hunter (2011) starring Willem Dafoe. Dafoe plays a mercenary sent to Tasmania by an anonymous biotech company to hunt for ...

Lets get Animated

Ross McRae — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 12:21:24 +0000

I don’t think I’ve ever made a secret of the fact I’m a fan of the animated film. My all-time Favourite film is an animation, so here’s some animation, what could be simpler. Top Cat: The Movie (2011) I think everybody is familiar with the world of Hanna-Barbera; they produced some of the most well-known cartoon characters outside of Warner Bros. ...
