I like is a blog mostly, with some stuff round the edges like photos and links. There are some non-blog pages round the back like the postcards and the specials from years ago.

Typically, it's a mixture of things I find, things I do and things that other people find or do. Generally, it's about whatever I like. There's more about how it got started in the talk I gave at interesting2007. In 2009 it was 7 years old.

It may contain the following

Dilapidation, seaside towns, modernism, patterns, classic cafes, cartoons, maps, Ladybird books, cups of tea, Tunnock's, old signs and lettering, chips, suburbia, Scotland, travel, boot sale finds, piers, lidos, monorails, children's books, packaging, Moomins, pop art, op art, sitcoms, anything beautiful and commonplace.

Who?

I'm Anne. Hello. I live in Glasgow with my other half, our two wee boys (8 and 3), one cat (9) and some tropical fish.

By day, I work as a website manager in the public sector. By night I am Community Manager at Folksy, a UK-based site for handmade crafts. I like doesn't have much to do with my work directly, but it has taught me an awful lot about how the web works.

Elsewhere

I like has spawned two other sites - Nothing To See Here - a collaborative travel guide to unusual places, and This is M. Sasek which is devoted to Miroslav Sasek, the Czech children's illustrator and author of the This is series of books (which grew from I like M. Sasek).

My friend Catrina made the I like logo which shows me and my cat Bingo around 9 years ago (I have slightly different hair now).

The strapline "Happy to be a part of the industry of human happiness" was the slogan of Immediate Records, Andrew Loog Oldham's brilliant 1960s record label. As the label is no longer going I've given it a good home. It sums everything up nicely.

Good things that have happened that wouldn't have happened if I didn't do I like

I started Nothing To See Here, a collaborative guide to lesser-spotted places to go.

I spoke at interesting2007 on the subject Is it just me or is everything nice?.

I was interviewed for the (Glasgow) Herald in July 2007.

I made some postcards and people bought the first set until it was sold out. Now I'm on to the second set.

I was quoted in the Sunday papers on the subject of Scottish classic cafes.

I moderated Flickr group full of seaside photos for the National Maritime Museum.
