smartactually.co.uk turns into a blog!

We’ve decided to turn our website into a blog since essentially that’s what it was. We didn’t realise that we probably created one of the first blogs with the way we designed the first website!

Thanks for staying with us and we have included a link back to the original website in the blogroll on the right.
