We've added a Case Studies section to the Blot website to highlight recent work.
A lot of the web development work we do is hidden, because it is used internally by our clients rather than in full view on the public internet.
So we thought we would highlight some of that work, as well as some of the sites that are publicly available.
We've included our Our Own Book Club web app, which is currently in beta testing and will be launched shortly. The app provides a private social network for each book club. Club members can chose and record books so they never forget a book they've read, share comments and reviews about the books, schedule meetings, choose books from suggestions etc, all within their private club.

This year the competition was resurrected by Fleming's nephews.
2,500 entries were received, and the winner was announced this month at the London International Antiquarian Book Fair.
The prize went to graphic design student David Guthrie, whose idea was to take the 'LOL' - Laughing Out Loud acronym - and make it into a character (see image).
Good job David, we could be seeing this soon on T-shirts, foreheads etc.

Goodness, we've been banging on about this for a long time.

Don't care? Well, Google does. Apart from giving you a ratings boost if you are mobile friendly, they are in the process of building a 'mobile-first' index.
