This week sees the six month anniversary of the creation of this site. It’s been a brief and crazy journey! If numbers are your thing… It’s been less that six months but last week we went past 10,000 page views on Joelvsarthritis.co.uk. 10.7k to be exact. To think that my articles, updates and general moans…
Version 3 of Joelvsarthritis’ website has launched. In this post Joel talks about the reasons behind some of the changes and redesign.

I’m writing this a day late but it’s a busy time of year. I wanted to wish everyone that follows my blog an awesome Christmas and Happy New Year and to say thank you for all of the support, messages of encouragement, likes and follows since I started this. It’s been a measly 7 weeks…
