Editors Blog: September 2009

http://theeditor.typepad.com/blog/2009/09/index.html

Laquo; April 2009. September 07, 2009. Taking care with Wordpress plugins. I had two shocks over the past two weeks that were unexpected - in each instance, a Wordpress plugin was causing serious display problems on two of our financial sites. The first was on Finance Markets. Which covers personal financial news. I tried an upgrade, but found it didnt solve the problem - the whole process was just taking far too long. The other instance was with Banking Times. Dealing with news in the banking sector.

Laquo; 3D gaming coming online soon. Crisis even among car insurers ». March 25, 2009. It's an economic crisis! Finance Markets reports on a savings crisis in Britain. As a study by MoneySupermarket.com. Suggests people are saving far less than in previous years. It's a very real concern, not simply in economic terms or for the banks, but also for savers themselves - simply put, there is little incentive to save at present, and much of the savings market seems to be going overseas to offshore banking.
