Writing for a website requires a different style to writing for a business report or academic essay. We've gathered together some resources that give good advice to anyone with a website copy writing project.

There's no Silver Bullet software that will automagically increase your search engine rankings. If anyone tells you different, they're probably trying to sell you something. However, there are some great tools that can help you analyze your pages and monitor performance, but hey, you're already an expert with Google Webmaster Tools, right?

The following is a list of software I wish I'd known about when I first got my new Mac. Most of it is free (except for the last section). It's a personal list and biased towards my own activities (mainly technical), however, many of the items should be useful to any Mac user.

I'd also highly recommend the Missing Manual books by David Pogue.

I've marked essential items with a star.

Public Library

The public library in Monaco is currently located in 3 different buildings, however a new multi-media library is being planned to bring all the resources together under one roof. It's due to open in 2012.

Reading room and lending service

A traditional service called the Bibliotheque Louis Notari is in the Condamine area, close to the port. You can sit quietly in the reading room and do your business research, or read the Monaco business press.

We receive lots of requests for information about Monaco, Monte Carlo and ourselves every day. Unfortunately, we can't reply to every enquiry personally, so please check this page before contacting us, to see if an answer to your query is already listed.
