Every now and then I get sent an ‘infographic’; basically these things are big pictures with lots of information on them. I am then invited by the sender to use their infographic on my website if I feel it is relevant to my audience, providing I include a link to their website as a credit. [...]

It was quite some time ago when I went to Adelaide for a one-week break, just over five years in fact. I only wrote one post about it, called At Last; A Hot and Sunny Day in Australia. Yes, it was a bit of a strange title, but I did go there just after the [...]
