Hello

Having written a technology column specifically for writers for a number of years (those subscribing to the number one Writing publication in the UK will know who I am) I decided to try out a blog. Your problems should be solved far quicker than the traditional email route we currently use. Pop in your query either as a comment or else email me bloggin@homechoice.co.uk and I shall try to respond within twenty four hours.
