I wanted to start using a Wordpress plugin that posted my blogs to my LinkedIn account automatically. To do so I needed to enter my LinkedIn ID into the plugin. Usually your LinkedIn ID is embedded in the URL of your LinkedIn profile, but this wasn’t working, so I emailed LinkedIn to ask them what [...]
Back in 1982 I arrived in Porthcurno, Cornwall, fresh out of college and wet behind the ears. The attraction of Porthcurno?
