"It's interesting though how many customers see any creature within their garden territory as an intruder .
Fear of the unknown perhaps ?
Must admit though the unfortunate label of slow worm does them no favours . "

"to be fair, if they were unaware of what Slow Worms are, from the name alone, they might sound like a pest, like some outdoor type of tape worm"

Couple of quick observations on the blog, the first of which is can you make the title you give individual stories feature as the title of the web page itself.
I see you are using the Share button which is a good option, but try to place it at the end of the piece as you want people to read your article and then think 'I'll share this' they won't do this with the button at the top of the page.
Also on individual article pages can you provide a second column which includes your most recent stories.
And provide a newsletter option so that people get a notification of new stories, the service offered by Feedburner is useful as all you need to do is provide it with your RSS feed.
Finally, I'd drop the Google Adsense adverts, you need large amounts of readers to make a success of this and if you look you may start promoting competitors.
Everything you do should be aimed at helping new and existing readers find out more about your knowledge and experience - useful hints, tips, ideas and links will see people come back for more and tell their friends.
Hope this helps,
Craig
I hope it's not too late, either you or the person doing the site should take a look at this guide from Google:
Google's SEO starter guide
At least make sure as many of these points are ticked off on your new website.
All the best,
Craig
