usually not too hard to get a space in hanover square (behind oxford street & regent street so could location), or on davies or brook street off bond street.

Is there a website that you can customize and manage multiple blogs on? not for writing but for viewing? so you would have your own page that has updates and links from various blogs that you use?

so you could have say 1 page with 20 links to blogs that you frequently look at for say fashion, movies, gaming etc?

or have I just given away a genius idea?

I think this is what you're after https://www.newsgator.com/ngs/order1.aspx

it will also sync with an RSS reader on your computer so that if you mark something as read on your own computer it will also mark it as read in your online list, and so if you access your online news through another computer it will still be marked as read

you can get like similar versions of ebay, if you search mesh chair, or mesh back chair. Think i need something different, got a cheap leather one off ebay for £50, but its shit, defo need a more ergonmoically sound one.

not sure if it is or not…..because…that site is very unfriendly and boring and doesnt explain easily what it does.

what im after is almost like the google homepage if you choose to customize it so that it gets news, weather etc…but rather than choosing google products..I want to choose to get info from say notcot and slam hype (for example)

Yeah, you can do that with iGoogle. Go to http://www.google.com/ig and once you have logged in etc click 'Add Stuff' then 'Add feed or gadget' and enter the feed url of the blog you want to track.

If you don't want to use iGoogle, netvibes does basically the same thing.

Its not quite what I was expecting - I was thinking more along the lines of splitting the screen into say 8 (if you have 8 sites bookmarked) and being able to scroll down each one.

cant see me sticking with it but you never know…for sites I dont visit as much it could be good

£550

Perfect for me just being a new graduate so haven't got that much money to be splashing out, but its comfy pretty big and the pull out double bed is comfy aswell

Cheers for that, gonna visit ikea next weekend so i'll check it out. Looks good for the money.

I was the same mr. white until I started using NetNewsWire (Mac only) which is really good and has a built-in browser part, so it's just like being in a browser except it's easier to keep track of all your favourite sites

don't know if there's a PC version with the same features

When uploading your CV to websites, monster for example, should you include a covering letter in the document?
