Phew!…That’s a relief!

The BBC reports that a survey from NatWest says graduate salaries are rising at the same level as student debt.
On average a student could expect to graduate with £12,640 of debt in 2005 compared to £12,180 in 2004 - the smallest rise for at least five years.
Separately, average graduate salaries have risen from £13,600 in 2004 to £14,090 in 2005.
Good to hear, but still doesn’t change the fact that I’ll be paying back my student loans when I’m middle aged!

Submitting press releases online
Posted Monday, August 8, 2005 at 8:41pm in Blogging, PR General | 4 Comments
A few weeks ago, a friend asked me if I would write a press release for him which he wanted submitted to the local press. Of course I did, and I thought I may as well try sending it to some free online press release sites I’d picked up while surfing the net.
Since its delivery, he said he’s now receiving a lot more traffic to his site (almost double!) and it’s coming from further parts globally. I was wondering, what anyone else’s opinion (if you have one) is on submitting press releases online. I can see it benefiting worldwide ebusinesses, but for a regionally based business I don’t see it helping at all. Anyone?

Local newspapers using RSS

While doing a little research at work, I noticed that a local newspaper in my area includes RSS feeds for its website. Pretty cool! Others are doing the same also. Let’s hope the rest follow.
