Home Improvement Quotes on Facebook (and a few other places).

You'll have noticed our more recent newsletters have started displaying links to top social network sites like Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr.

Unlike the baddest 'Bond villain ever, It's not a quest for world dominance. Just a desire to make our online resources and homeowner articles available where, when and how you want them.

So if you're a fan of Facebook (for example), you can get all the latest articles and offers without having to 'log off'.

The same is true for our Twitter and new Tumblr (micro-blogging platform) accounts. Regular uses will know they can follow us to get the latest updates via their computers or mobile devices.

Our Home Improvements Blog and RSS Feed alerts can deliver the latest headlines directly into your news feed reader programme saving you having to re-visit the blog or website to see if there have been any updates - especially if you've left a comment or question on any of our Blog articles.

And the goodies don't stop there. Since before the massive interest in renewable energy began, we've been writing a daily article dedicated to the latest renewable energy news. Our Solar Panel blog carries informative articles on all forms of renewable energy, the latest grants and energy saving ideas. Renewable energy is to big a topic to ignore so we also launched a dedicated Twitter account and RSS feed just for you.

why do we use certain pictures to illustrate our blog posts?

Someone stopped me the other day and asked why I used the pictures that I use to illustrate individual blog posts here at Solar Panel Quoter - The Blog.

They didn't always see an immediate connection between the headline, the picture and the story.

Well wonder no more....

Originally, I was just trying to be different - pledging to myself that every post would be accompanied with a photo illustration and that the 'theme' of the picture might lead to some interesting photography, which I'm keen on anyway.

All I can promise is that the picture does fit the story - either directly as in the recent container ship story or in the case of last Wednesdays post - the picture depicts an argument - the post itself relates to an 'argument' breaking out in the comments of the original post to which our story referred.

So there's a little clue. Who knows, as well as informing you on the latest renewable energy happenings, we'll also provide a little light relief by way of asking you to figure out the connection between the story and the photograph?

Have you figured out todays illustration yet? Here's a clue - 'photography'.

Even Phillip Schofield thinks we pay too much for our electricity...

Spotted on Twitter - a tweet by Phillip Schofield - TV Presenter:

"Just got the electricity bill.. blxxdy hell!!!!! Can you check, if I turn my lights off, do yours get brighter? Off... On... Off... On... ?"

Twitter is the micro-blogging platform where each post or 'tweet' is restricted to 140 characters, You can follow peoples 'tweets' and they can follow you. Many stories we feature on this blog are suggested byTwitter links.

Perhaps Phillip should try SolarPanelQuoter and get an instant online solar panel installation quote? ( I never realised Gophers' used so much hot water!!).

Thanks to @fabphotogifts for spotting this one and letting us know.
