Today's work on/in the business - Fri 6 Nov

1. Check the other brochure and the presentations for the typo in the phone number - thankfully, there were no issues! (10mins)
2. Accounting - depreciation figures were entered on the wrong dates... Some other items needed to be entered. (30mins)
3. Review my blog for entries in the operational plan that need to be updated. Found them, updated the operational plan and added the required calendar entries. (45mins)
4. Record times worked in September 2009 after we finished NEIS training. This turned out to only be 8 days, which is disappointing, but before that we were mainly focused on work to create the NEIS business plan, which really doesn't fit with the business hours. (10mins)
5. Invoice reconciliation. Unfortunately, no one has paid us since the last time I checked. But my ongoing customer is still chasing her accounts people, so I hope the payment will arrive soon. (10mins)
6. Follow up on a customer email. Information is required on following up with another entity and there's another question that I'll need to think about further. (15mins)
7. Ensure the log book for our car is up to date - we missed writing a couple of entries down which were repeats of previous entries, but then recorded a couple of readings after that - took a little while to sort out, but it's all up to date now. (30mins)
8. Networking - follow up on posts and queries - 4 posts today. (45mins)
9. Look at the statistics that Google Analytics gives you. Looks good, we're still getting traffic. :-) (10mins)
10. Investigate Google Webmaster Tools. This included reading through a lot of their information and reviewing our website - the review of the website was not entirely thrilling, as it highlighted a couple of issues that appear to have been present in our website since it was originally created. It's not really comforting to realise that NONE of us involved have checked the website in all reasonably available browsers, because one of the issues has been there since the site was originally created. (2hrs 50mins)
11. Phone call and agreement to meeting with new client - Monday we determine what the actual parameters are, which is great! (10mins)
12. Make required changes to the website to remove a lot of the issues with alternative browsers - it's still not perfect, but at least it's not so glaringly wrong! (25mins)
13. Update competitor information, based on further research that has occurred over the last few weeks. Fortunately, the first one is no competition in our target market! (1 hr)
14. Update my record of time worked. (5mins)
