We’re here at last in our new offices in the West Country of England. Nearby is the Elizabethan Quay and the kind of architecture you only see in films.

We have lots of plans going forward including a new site, Sideways Health, which we hope to launch next week +. This could develop into a mega health site on the one domain, which will be a departure for us.

There’s also our private subscription retail information site to roll out next month, which will probably be the flagship of the business in coming months.

It’s been a tough grind over the past two and a half years, but we’re now beginning to mature as a business, partially breaking clear of the old SEO plus advertising model into a cluster-attack mode that makes us less dependent on one factor staying the same, while insulating us from the swings and roundabouts of internet business.

The year ahead is going to be a hard one for everybody, with the American economy having “fallen off a cliff” at the turn of the year, and Britain set for an even bigger fall.

To counteract this, we’ve switched to retrench mode, clearing away all debts, diversifying our interests and cutting costs sharply. We’re confident it will do the trick even if another dotcom crash is imminent.

How are you doing?
