A Bit Quiet…

// June 12th, 2009 // No Comments » // General

I have been a bit quiet lately – not much blogging has been happening! This is because I have been flat out with a few freelance projects, and getting organised for my 40 day tour of Europe before I head back home to Australia after spending the last 3 years in Ireland.

It is a busy time, and I will be flat out until at least September the way things are going. I will head off on holidays in a few weeks, and then leave Ireland for Australia via Europe in August.

Before I go I want to redevelop Explore With Me. It needs a total revamp and I have some good ideas which I think will work well – and we have a travel company that has sponsored 25% of our tour so we want it to look good as it will get some good traffic in August.

When I do blog is all seems to be about BuddyPress. That is because my life seems to be revolving around it at the moment. Between Explore With Me and my freelance work, that is all I seem to be doing. I have not really had the chance to concentrate on making money online through my websites so there is not much to blog about there – but FYI I am making a few dollars here and there.

It’ll be back to normal soon – I promise!

Sneak Peek!

I don’t normally do this – but I will for those interested in websites, blogs and WordPress. I have started to work on my new project “Explore With Me” and have decided to leave the site open so you can go in and have a look at the progress made while I am building it and getting everything looking perfect.

I am normally one to hide the site away until it is exactly how I want it, however I have decided to leave the site open so you all can follow the development of the new blog and the configuration of the WordPress theme.

I have downloaded the Arthemia theme by Michael Jubel. I think it is a fantastic looking theme for what I want to do, however I am going to change a few things around just to get it how I want it. I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my websites so I won’t be happy until I like what I see.

My New Project

// September 30th, 2008 // No Comments » // Projects

I have been thinking for a while about starting another project in the wake of NameSeek. The success of my NameSeek project has inspired me to give it another go and hopefully something will become of it.

Me and my girlfriend Ruth have decided to start a travel blog. We are planning a 3 month trip next year and have already travelled a good bit of Europe over the past 2 years so we should have plenty to write about between now and when we start travelling in about a years time.

This will be more a personal diary of travel experiences in the hope to educate future travellers or those planning a big trip around the world. We have been in enough planes, buses, trains, hotels, hostels, taxi’s, pubs and clubs to have learnt a trick or two, so hopefully we can pass on this information to wanna be travellers.

We are still in the planning stages at the moment and are trying to think of a smart and witty name. I don’t want to call it something like “DanandRuthsTravelAdventures.com” – I want something smart, clever and funny.

There is no aim to make money off the site as yet, the goal for now will just to build some solid content and generate some traffic.

Hopefully we will have the blog up and running by the end of October so stay tuned!
