Gorey Media

Revised status

Michael — Sun, 31 Oct 2010 07:10:49 +0000

Due to personal circumstances, Gorey Media is no longer a full-time consultancy.

The principal, Michael Gorey, is now working as a media adviser for the South Australian Government.

Gorey Media now only provides website hosting services for pre-existing clients, but will consider website development requests that do not conflict with Michael’s government employment.

Open for business

Michael — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 09:39:24 +0000

Gorey Media will resume trading as a full-time consultancy on Monday, March 15, 2010 based at Mount Gambier in South Australia.

Services will include public relations, freelance journalism and photography, website development and executive management.

Social media management

Gorey Media can manage your entire online presence.

Think of your website as the shopfront and think of social media as a marketing tool to get people into the store.

WordPress integrates nicely with Twitter and Facebook.

We have experience managing social media accounts for ourselves and clients. We can cross-promote between your website and most popular social sites.

It’s a great way to communicate and invite interaction. Conversely, you may not want the hassle of maintaining lists and editing spam. We can do all that for you.

Free blog hosting

Michael — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 21:57:09 +0000

Gorey Media now offers free blog hosting through the My Say community.

My Say is a community site utilising WordPress MU, BuddyPress and bbPress.

WordPress MU is multi-user blogging software, which means an unlimited number of blogs can be created on the one domain.

BuddyPress is a suite of WordPress plugins and themes for MU, each adding a distinct new feature. BuddyPress contains all the features you’d expect from WordPress but aims to let members socially interact.

bbPress is forum software from the creators of WordPress. bbPress is focused on web standards, ease of use, ease of integration, and speed.

The My Say home page gives a snapshot of members, groups, recent posts and site-wide activity.

Anyone can register to obtain a free blog.

The rules are that users abide by the Terms of Service, which include the provision of My Say branding in the footer and acceptance of advertising.

Gorey Media clients are eligible to have a blog without advertising.

URL shortening

Links to long web addresses are a blight on the internet. Nobody can remember them, they’re difficult to type and awkward to follow.

That’s why URL shorteners have become popular.

There are various free services available online, of course, but there is nothing like having your own personal service.

That’s because your short URLs will be consistent in style, and if you’re lucky enough to have a really short domain, the merit is obvious.

Gorey Media customers are given free access to our self-hosted URL shortener, which uses the domain ax.lv.

That means your shortened link will be something like http://ax.lv/mg.

Just another reason to have your web hosting and content management with us.
