The Motor Report Auto News Blog
Steane and Mike of The Motor Report have been building a big following for their Australian car news blog, with great writing and comprehensive coverage of all things auto.

This was a dream collaboration. TMR knew exactly what they wanted, and what they needed our help with. Their brief led us to take Wordpress to places we haven’t been before, and we’re all extremely happy with the results.

Squarespace’s propaganda goes on about “Total Data Portability”, and how “your data is yours to keep”. However, when it comes to moving to another system, there’s no automated method to [...]
