The inane mutterings of Alexander Foxleigh
Alex Foxleigh is a Senior Front-End Developer and Tech Lead who spends his days making the web friendlier, faster, and easier to use. He’s big on clean code, clever automations, and advocating for accessibility so everyone can enjoy tech - not just those who find it easy. Being neurodivergent himself, Alex actively speaks up for more inclusive workplaces and designs that welcome all kinds of minds.
Off the clock, Alex is a proud nerd who loves losing himself in video games, watching sci-fi, or tweaking his ever-evolving smart home setup until it’s borderline sentient. He’s also a passionate cat person, because life’s just better when you share it with furry chaos machines.

Last year I attended the first part of a three part (hopefully), creative writing course. Part one proved itself to be invaluable as it gave me the push I needed to start writing my first novel as well as affording me the opportunity to meet some great people. I've just gone back for part 2!
This is part one of a three part tutorial on how to start writing a blog, this part will cover learning to 'get over' any issues which may be standing in your way, part two covers the technical approach to blogging (i.e. Which tools you should use, how to submit a site to Google etc...) and part 3 will offer some general tips that I've discovered on my travels.
Twitter has risen quite quickly over past few the years into something of a social phenomenon. Its attraction is mysterious to some and obvious to others, however we all have our own ideas on what Twitter is useful for.
