About the Author

Who is Nexus Publishing? Originally from a small town called Darlaston – about ten miles north of Birmingham – I moved to West Sussex about ten years ago to help develop one of the first online retailers. Having recently moved to Shropshire I am now enjoying the working from home life in a semi rural location. I have been a freelance writer and journalist for about fifteen years. Eight of them were spent doing various other jobs such as bookshop assistant, print finisher and returns clerk for a large library supplier, with the writing taking up evenings and any of my spare time. As you can see, much of my life so far has been spent working with books and publishing of one kind or another. My time as an employee came to a conclusion some six years ago with redundancy, so I took the opportunity – and the money – to see if I could survive as a full-time freelance writer. That was five years ago. There have been some lean times – just ask my wife, Joanne. But after tasting the freelance life, there’s no going back.

If you’re a home-based web designer, or want to send a web pages with some notes attached to it, Protonotes will make this a breeze. I’ve always liked the genius of the Post It note. I’ve also used their digital equivalent for years. But when I came across Protonotes thanks to a post on the Web Worker Daily, I thought what a fantastic idea.

Many homeworker are part of virtual teams that work on a wide variety of projects. Web design these days can be a complex collaborative affair. Protonotes enables you to attached Post It like stickies to your web pages for your colleague to see and act upon. Set-up is nice and easy once you have posted the JavaScript to your web pages. Give it ago, you’ll wonder how you ever worked without them.
