I’ll be going there alone as it’s just a small event and the general agenda is one of questions and answers. If anyone has any questions after the event please feel free to post them here and I’ll try to answer them as best I can.

    \nThis was the loose structure of the talk, although we did head off on tangents from interjecting questions, but that was good fun.

  3. Thoroughly enjoyed the talk last night. It was certainly an eye opener for me. There were so many things I was totally unaware of that were explained with clarity & simplicity.
    \nThanks for a truly informative evening!

  4. I also wish to thank Leigh for taking the time out of his busy schedule to talk at the MPA meeting. I now have a better understanding as did other photographers about the makeup of websites and how to improve my website. It was very interesting and by the look of the turn out of photographers who attended the evenings its was a very helpful evening.
    \nThanks Again.
    \nSilkstream have designed my website and i recommend them to everyone.

  5. Only just found this Leigh – but just wanted to say a big thanks for your time and effort last month. The talk was hugely informative, really well pitched in terms of existing knowledge levels and left me eager to move our efforts regarding our online presence on to the next level. I will of course be employing your skills to do that!

    \nThanks again Leigh,
