So here's the list of weblinks as promised on the first post.
By the way, I mentioned igotmunchies.co.uk but never explained the relevance. Well, igotmunchies is a site that links to local food takeaway services on the internet. The business took off and now they are running a competition to help other people in the Newport area set up their own online business. If you look at the "Competition" link you can find out all about it.
So what about that list of links then?
I've not had chance to check these sites out yet - that's the point of this blog - so I can store the links and easily check through them when I have time or whenver I need to.
