Hi, I’m Paul Teague and I write books which make geeky topics extremely simple and straightforward.
I'm a former broadcaster and journalist with the BBC, but the latter part of my career took me into web sites and the wonderful world of online.
With my team, I built and managed a new BBC web site and won two international web awards, a Webby in 2006 and a W3 award in 2009.
Although I've been working online since 2001, it was in 2010 that I finally left the BBC to pursue my own interests, launching numerous digital products, a successful Facebook software and training hundreds of webinar attendees across the globe via coaching sessions and online membership groups.
These days I am concentrating on my writing activities, though I also do a lot of coaching work with businesses, teaching them about Wordpress, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and many more web based topics.
