Welcome to The Quest Blog!
This is the place where we can all post comments, pictures, designs and thoughts and anything else that Quest turns up. It will also be used to post boring admin type things like schedules, but more importantly we want it to be an online notebook and a free space where designers and businesses discuss, argue (politely, of course), inspire and generally interact.If you have any problems using the site let me - Andrew (aka the blogmaster) know.
Here's to the cyber-Quest!
