After searching for the right image, the LincsConnect logo eventually happened in 2020…
It took a while to get what I wanted but good things happened when I asked the right person the right question! Thank you to the team at @DPSdigital www.dpsdigital.co.uk for your ‘fuss free’ and very speedy response.
I met Chris @ChrisFromDPS some years ago and was inspired by his company business card design. That led to a design of my own which was quickly produced and put into print by DPS Digital. The net result is what you see now. Needless to say, I’m very pleased and the logo is sitting proudly at the top of my Twitter and Facebook pages as well as on my new business cards. I’m looking forward to seeing it on some new polo shirts soon too. Watch this space…
The Lincs Connect website will soon be undergoing a significant update and this is your chance to say what you would like to see included.
Perhaps it would be best if I explained what the site will be for before you start sending ideas though! The main aim of this site is for it to be a ‘landing site’ for all things Lincolnshire and local. With 10,000 local twitter followers it’s time to create a central hub for us all to get together to show off our businesses and network together.
To do this there will be a series of new pages, each with their own category. Some good examples include ‘The Authors Page’ where there will be space for authors to provide links to their blogs, short descriptions of their latest books, poetry features, printing advice, publishers advice, workshops, book signings….. Hopefully you get the picture now? Talking of which, there could be a ‘Art Gallery’ page where artists can showcase their work. There will be a nice link from the artists page to the authors page as some books will need illustrations.
This is my latest book purchase by local author Lisa Marie Gabriel. It promises to be a good read with lots of local references in it. If you want to find out more about Lisa you can follow her on Twitter @persimew where she tweets under the name ‘Lisa the Bard’
Can you imagine how useful the Lincs Connect website can be for new and aspiring authors who would like help and advice about writing and getting published? Sharing information between established authors and publishers with the authors of tomorrow can be very helpful. After all, Lincs Connect was set up to help and support all local businesses and charities so this is the obvious step forward.
Please leave your positive comments, ideas and messages so that I can take the site forward. Lincs Connect is here ‘for’ you and ‘by’ you. Together we are stronger.
Having battled with my fear and dread of technology I’ve finally worked out how to produce a blog on my website.
As a first (proper) post (following on from my newspaper editorials) I want to say ‘thank you’ to Taryn of FCM Media for getting me this far with the website. Hopefully this will be the start of a new era for LincsConnect with more Lincolnshire blogs being added and more local businesses being promoted.
Perhaps a few words about LincsConnect might be helpful! Many of you will recognise Lincs Connect from the Facebook page and others will recognise it from @LincsConnect on twitter. In short, Lincs Connect is here to support local businesses and charities. You can use both sites for your FREE networking and self promotion of course but for maximum effect, I strongly urge you to search the hashtag #LincsConnect on a regular basis to support other users. By offering support and conversation to others you will build your own reputation which will lead to more contacts and better selling opportunities.
I hope you find this post useful and I look forward to producing more and better blogs as ‘The Lincolnshire Blogger’ in the very near future.
