It's getting closer! The framework for DGB Consumer is in place and content population as begun. It's been a long time coming but it looks like I'm on track to make live the consumer section of DGB on Monday August 3rd. A good foundation DGB Consumer will be launching, but it won't be the finished [...]

It's finally happening! A little while ago, well, about a year ago now, you may remember that I was floating around with the idea of building a consume section within Double Glazing Blogger. There was a growing number of emails being sent to me by consumers asking various things about the industry, asking for tips, [...]

As you might have seen, there is now a little tab on the right hand side of your screen which says "Feedback". And feedback is exactly what I'm looking for! Feedback for improvement I am always looking for ways to improve DGB. I am always tweaking and changing things here and there, some of which [...]

When it comes to milestones, this one has to be one of the biggest so far. This very post you are reading is the 2000th to be published on this site! It's seems almost impossible to believe that I have now been writing on this site for so long and so many times. The [...]

Last Friday was a rare day in the world of industry news. Usually I find something to write a decent blog post about, but late on Thursday there came two absolutely massive stories that were guaranteed to get the industry talking on Friday morning.

Today is this website's birthday. If it was a school child, it would be starting Year 1. It's hard to believe that I've been doing this for six years. I published my first post on this day in March 2009. If you want to see how bad I was at writing at that point, click [...]

As you may have seen on Monday evening, Design, the new online magazine feature I have been teasing over the past week or so, went live. And the reaction to it has been so overwhelmingly positive! I have mad message both on social media and in private to tell me what they think of it [...]

You may have seen last week a couple of teasers from me about a new online magazine feature on DGB called Design. I buried a small teaser at the bottom of the home page at the start of last week, then put out a preview page later on in the week. Well, after working on [...]

As many of you know, I am a fan of numbers and stats. They help tell the story of something. In this case, the numbers I am publishing in this post show the progress of this website, and help to show just how far it has come in the near 6 years it has been [...]

There's no doubting it, 2014 was an amazing year for this website. With plenty of industry events going on, and plenty of industry issues to tackle, there had been plenty for me to write about throughout the course of 2014. The year saw me reach a few milestones. Firstly, the site turned five years old [...]

I've been away for the last few days in North Wales having a few beers and listening to some bands. There wasn't much signal there hence not much Tweeting. But I did come home to an interesting comment from DGB regular Kevin Ahern. Here is his comment in full: To be honest DGB , I [...]

For some of you, you might have seen that this website didn't run as smoothly as possible during Friday. This was because the website came under attack from hackers. According to the IT company who hosts this site, the attacks originated from Brazil, China and South America. The attacks were login attacks - attempts to [...]

This site has grown from very small seeds over five years ago to becoming one of the most visited sites in the industry. I never really meant for that to happen.
