Back again

Well almost impressive, blogging 2 weeks in a row, im getting better at this!

Its been another one of those weeks at the Blinky Media camp, the best way to describe it is HECTIC!

The website went live at the start of the week and is nearly all up and running for phase 1 which i really exciting, please check it out at www.blinkymagazine.co.uk there are lots more functions coming over the coming months as we have teamed up with Manic Planet, who will now be working with us on all our web development projects, and boy are they going to be busy over the next few months with our plans!

SO what have we been up to?

Well we launched the website, which as ever didnt go as smoothly as we had hoped but the team got there and solved the glitch, we have since been getting all the content on there and working on getting everything right, aswell as the next few developments which will be coming later this month as web traffic builds up, which is going well, we have risen from the 22 millionth ranked website on the whole of the web to 1.8millionth which is awesome!

We have been working hard on the other areas of Blinky aswell, and as such we are half way through creating the Blinky Media promotional catalgue, so we have been deep in negoations with suppliers all week to add to our product range, which currently now includes:

Flyers
Posters
Outdoor posters
Business Cards
Promo Cards
Beer Mats
Badges
Stickers
Banners
Printed Plectrums
Glowsticks
Wristbands
Tshirts and Clothing

So there has been plenty of pricing to be getting on with this week!

We are now also working on the launch of our secondary business which is student and training software, and will before the end of the month be launching our initial range from the Media Roots range, at heavily discounted prices!

What have I been doing this week other than working?

Erm not alot really, had work and uni as usual, although now looking at the home stretch for this semester at uni, with only 2 more weeks to go, which means just 1 assignment and 1 exam and I am free until the end of January.

Im counting down till the christmas break and especially january now as it is my mums 50th and shes having a awesome party and then the next day im off to germany to visit friends and play in the snow and generally do a bit less work than normal and drink more tea!

Music stuff:

So this week seems to have been a week for CDs arriving from PR companies so on Friday I sat down with a huge stack to have a quick listen and there is some brilliant stuff in there, so please do keep an eye on releases from engineer records (google them, well worth it) and some of the bigger names aswell, we will try and sort a few reviews from our newly appointed music editor, who Im very pleased ot have join the team, Rhian, see the website for her profile and wo to get in touch if you have any music related questions.


Also I will be down at the Hat Factory in Luton for the final The Hat Factory introducing night, so head down if you are about!
