Two quite important things happened (for me) this week –
1. The Ending Tenancies workshop at Cambridge – our first event there
2. The going live of the new Landlord Law theme – basically updating the appearance of the site. Its been the same since 2010 so was due a bit of a refresh. Gill and I have been working on it for a while.
Its pretty cool with some nice little boxes and new bullets and buttons I can use to make things stand out.
So I now have a lot of work to do, making sure they get used. Heigh ho.
But what happened on the blog?
