Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I put one of your photos/articles/games on my website? - Please email to ask me first, including details of your website.
Do you accept guest posts? Sorry, no. I don't have time to work with them.
Can you review or help me promote my music? - No, sorry. Try these outlets.
Can you tell me more about being a journalist and journalism careers?
Can you help me break this story in the national press? (conspiracies, politics, scandals etc)
How can I get an Amstrad emulator working on my PC?
Can I link to your website? - Yes, but please link to HTML pages (not images, PDFs or other files) and please don't frame this site. Thank you for the link!
Will you link to my website? - Unlikely. For the last ten years or so, all the requests I've received have come from businesses looking for promotion and SEO links. Sometimes they have created good content, but I don't have time to promote other businesses in this way. Adding and maintaining links is a time consuming process. That said, if someone contacts me in the spirit of the early Internet with similar interests, I'd be pleased to talk about how we could work together.
Where can I buy your books?
How else can I support your website? - To be honest, people don't ask this often. But if you found something useful here and would like to return the favour, here are some ideas. Thank you!
What is your privacy policy?
I can't find a page on your site - Try the search first, but do ask if you're still struggling. I have removed some content I considered to be obsolete, but I can probably send it to you if you are missing it.
Can I comment on your blog? - If comments are not currently enabled on the blog, please do email me your feedback. I'll update the post where appropriate.
Is your website/domain name for sale? - No.
Can you help me with this family tree enquiry? - No, sorry.
Are you the CBS chairman, former president of CBS News? - Yes, people do ask this, and no I'm not.
