I've noticed quite a few posts on Landscape Juice about setting up websites, and why we need to bother with blogging (or not) - let alone Twitter, Facebook and other social networking.Hopefully this video might might be of interest

Masterclass for Oxford College of Garden Design - Building a Web Presence for Garden Designers from Elspeth on Vimeo.

This video was put together as part of our new interactive online training program at Oxford College of Garden Design. It's really useful, for anyone who wants to improve their web page rankings - called Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). By following these simple steps you can significantly increase your web presence. We explain why its important to blog, Twitter, and use social media like Facebook, Landscape Juice and LinkedIn.According to Duncan Heather, Principal of the College, addressing the post grad design students: "This is probably the most important video tutorial you will watch this year!" For more thoughts from Oxford College of Garden Design and Interactive Learning please feel free to pop by the blog.

  • Hi Elspeth, thanks for the masterclass. Perfect timing, I'd say, to convince me I'm doing the right thing. All this marketing though takes me but a couple of decades to previous careers which I thought I had escaped from.
  • Haha - glad it's useful. Know what you mean about thinking you had escaped from it ;-) But I think the internet is more exciting than straight marketing... more organic perhaps?! :o) I also see marketing as a process - which getting that bit right frees us up to be more creative and do the innovative fun stuff better
  • Yes, i agree but theres only a certain amount of hours in the day especially when the weather gets better. All work and no play.... and you know what happens next.
  • Oh yes agree. Work and play should be the same thing really :o)
  • Hi Elspeth - a very informative masterclass. Where do you get the demographic information for the social networks from?
  • Hi Keith - delighted that you found it informative. Demographics from iCrossing and Inside Facebook
  • Thank you very much - a little bit of light reading there!
  • Hi Elspeth, Very interesting. This info will be extremely useful when I revamp my site soon, thanks.
  • Thanks Richard - glad it was helpful
  • Peter - you might like to try www.websitegrader.com, a free tool from www.hubspot.com, which will give you a comprehensive analysis of your site (and any of your competitors' sites). They also have twitter & blog graders available and provide LOADS of free advice, blog articles, video, webinars, etc.

Dave Colton replied to David Benson's discussion liquid moss killer
"I haven't use liquid iron but do use soluble iron sulphate, takes a wee bit more mixing as it's a powder but I find it goes further and is cheaper than the liquid, I get mine from agrigem."

Groundleader replied to Peter sellers's discussion Retirement advice
"This is definitely NOT my field of expertise, but I'd guess what most buyers might be interested in, could include:
1)  What's the realistic market value of your "hard" assets (vehicles, machinery, tools, materials etc).
2)  For the "goodwill" part…"

Sam Bainbridge replied to Dougie's discussion Looking for a new roller machine
"Buy an old Honda roller mower, the new ones break in 18 months and cost you £500 that is then repeated every 12 months.
Either a honda or others the same which actually came out of the same factory with different names, sharp, lawnflite, kaaz, all…"

"Try using a Turf Teq Power Rake to smooth it out. It will mill off the high spots and work the spoil into the low bits."
