Its been a busy few months! What am I up to now?

It has been a while since I wrote a full blog post here. The last one was about a great TV series I'd been watching, and before that, a Christmas one about YourBOT. So what have I been doing and what am I up to now?

Busy few months gone by, Winter's cold melts into Spring's warmth, Time flies, software evolves

So firstly, YourBOT was finished at Christmas 2025, and I got it out the door on the 1st January this year and have been promoting it ever since. I've just started doing some cold outreach for it via email using YourPCM, and I have to say that for something I can just leave there and give minimal attention to, it's going quite well. Aimee is doing a good job, and users are growing slowly but steadily.

I've just finished an update for YourPCM too!

For January and February, I was working on YourPCM. I created V1 of my CRM during the pandemic in 2020. I was bored, needed a project and wanted a way to track my BNI meetings so I could stay ahead in the traffic lights.

Early versions were functional but a bit visually crappy, then I did a major update in 2024 and wrote what I actually wanted. This latest one - version 3 - is ready for its own server, adds extra functionality and moves from the Square payment platform to the Stripe one, to match what I was doing with YourBOT. It is very good now and incredibly easy to use.

For small business owners who get overwhelmed by the likes of Pipedrive, Hubspot and Go High Level, they should take a look at YourPCM as a solid alternative that lets them organise everyone they know, discover new businesses they don't know but may like to, and reach out to them all using social and email. They can have themselves and 4 other users and there's even a free level with limited functionality to get them started.

I've still got some marketing shares to put together for YourPCM V3, but the update is finished and out there, and I've already had my first signup from the updated website.

So what's next? An update to sBlogIt!

sBlogIt! is the reason I do what I do. I started my business blogging platform in 2011 and have added to the features and functionality over the years, as well as refining the workflows behind it. In 2023, I created a newer AI-driven version of sBlogIt! It works beautifully and sits at the top of my income pyramid, where it brings in the most money from a smaller number of clients, but requires the most attention.

Even this version has things I've added, tried and removed, so it's due for its own rewrite soon. I plan to create a completely new version called YourBLG, but that's some way away. I'm first going to refine sBlogIt! and remove some of the experimental features I'm no longer using, tweak the AI models and update the website to match YourBOT and YourPCM.

Now sBlogIt! has always been about creating an entire marketing channel for my subscribers that publishes blog posts on its own website (blog.yourdomain.com, for example) as well as includes daily social media sharing of blog posts and other messaging on Facebook and LinkedIn, then a matching mailer to be sent each time a new blog post has been published.

And that works well, but I have often been asked about what I call Done-For-You-And-Take-Away (DFYATA) so that I can still create stuff for a client, but they'll add it to their own website. I've always said no to these requests.

Some people are particular about having everything on their website because they believe that a sBlogIt! blog splits traffic and reputation off from their main domain. This is, of course, complete rubbish, as Google doesn't care about blog.yourdomain.com being separate from your website because it sees them both as one entity. However, I have lost business because of this.

Ok then, it's been asked for, and I'm going to provide it!

Now they'll still get a blog on my platform, but it will have what I call a 'private' domain name (something like username.sblogit.com) and be locked into search mode, with Google indexing turned off. The blogs will still be weekly, still run through my normal workflow, but instead of creating a beautifully laid out blog post with maximum features, they'll just get the words (AI generated, human edited of course), a matching image and an audio version. Oh, and hashtags as well for their own social media.

What I won't be doing is creating the blog posts on their own websites. There are so many website CMS platforms out there, each with its own quirky editors, and I did try this some years ago, but it took a huge amount of time and concentration, so no, not happening.

Of course, this means a lower price, and I'll provide this service for just £100 per month (4 x £25) rather than the usual £150 per month for ones published on my platform. Ok, I can't share these blog posts to my own channels, and they won't appear on the sBlogIt! website, but it's possibly a solid extra income stream, so I have to explore it if it means increasing income from my blogging services.

I'm still thinking about how YourBLG is going to work!

I may go down the track of working with web designers and marketing agencies again, so they can log in to their dashboards, see multiple clients, then list all the blog posts for each, and they just subscribe per client as to what features they want. I have a lot of thinking to do for YourBLG, and I can't see it replacing sBlogIt! only complementing it.

Some web designers and marketing agencies may think, "Well, I can get ChatGPT or Gemini to do all that", and yes, you probably can, but have you got time to set up a production line and the inclination to ensure it happens on time every time? What if you just got a message to tell you it had been done overnight, then you log in and just get transferred to your client's website?

And also, how automated will YourBLG be, and how involved will I be? Am I just setting up a CHRON schedule and getting the AI to do all the work, or am I editing it? Or does the subscriber initiate it? Maybe there'll be one cheaper subscription for automated and another for manual oversight? I think you'll agree I still need to put in a lot of thought here to ensure I get it right.

So it's been a really interesting couple of months!

As a regular reader, you know I absolutely love coding; it really is my purpose in life and being someone who likes to be at home in my pyjamas, with a limited budget and no social life, I think I'd lose my mind if I were unable to keep my brain working by creating stuff for the web. My tech stack may be old, but that just means it's proven technology, I know it inside and out, and can still claim I've never been defeated by a web project.

I'll probably check in here again when I've got the sBlogIt! upgrade done and out there, then hopefully I'll have my brain around YourBLG a bit more.

That's it for now! As always, watch this space.

Love, light & logic ...

About Steffi Lewis ...
Based in the charming village of Hanslope in Buckinghamshire, UK, I bring over 30 years of experience in web development. From creating my first website for the Open University in 1993, through being part of the dot com boom, to my explorations in SaaS and AI over the last few years, my journey has been a rich tapestry of web projects, big and small, both funded and bootstrapped. Originally developed during the pandemic, at the start of 2025, I released the next iteration of YourPCM, version 2, which is all about 'Easy Contact Management for Small Business Owners'. Is it a CRM? Yes, but I don't call it that because people glaze over at the mention of such things. CRMs are boring, difficult to get to grips with, and it's a nightmare to get help when you need it.  YourPCM is none of those things! It's simple to use, well-supported, feature rich and beautiful, right out of the box. It's available on a simple monthly subscription with no long-term tie-in. Book a demo or grab your own 14-working-day free trial and discover why YourPCM is all about easy contact management for small business owners.  My head is in the cloud, my heart belongs to the web, and my soul is filled with such beautiful code 💗
