Business premises listed on council websites

You don't have to bother with agents to find a suitable space for your business. I just found a database of available premises on my local council website.

It even shows the price! You can find a place for your business and then its easy to contact the agent mentioned on the premises listing to sort out the detail.

Sounds like a good low pressure route to me :D

What insurance does my business need?

Great tool! I just discovered the interactive insurance guide on the UK's business link website.

It makes suggestions about what types of insurance you'll need based on your answers to a few simple questions.

I wasn't quick enough with the camera but I just saw a police man on a bike!

Seems like a good idea to me.

Superb interview about lean startups

Great Article - How we read online.

You're probably going to read this.

It's a short paragraph at the top of the page. It's surrounded by white space. It's in small type.

To really get your attention, I should write like this:

- Bulleted list

- Occasional use of bold to prevent skimming

- Short sentence fragments

- Explanatory subheads

- No puns

- Did I mention lists?
