The power of blogs
I had a another interesting experience today. An email from a new company wanting me to review their new service in my blog. Why is this interesting? For several reasons.

My feed
It occurred to me while in the shower this morning that when I changed theme’s I did not modify the feeds to point to FeedBurner.

I have also been blown away by the number of themes available to download and use. Today I have loaded a new theme called Relaxation by John Wrana I like itContinue reading “New Theme”
What a web I have woven
Just sitting here on a lovely Anzac Day afternoon (on a Monday which makes it even better), going through all of the places I need to update due to the fact that I have moved “house”, makes me tried just thinking about it. I will be kept busy over the next few weeks just catchingContinue reading “What a web I have woven”
Old posts appearing again
Ok, I have decided to cross post some of the last few posts from the old site to the new site, this is instead of loading up all of the Blogger posts into WordPress. (Warning this idea may change as time goes on.)
