I had started to loose momentum with the old site over at Journal Home because of some frustrations with the service over there, so this new site is now a self-hosted WordPress blog.

The main frustration that I was having with the old site was the random insertion of advertisements by the host. They detracted a lot from the design, which had some of my own carefully integrated ads.

WordPress offers a lot of customisation options and flexibility. I will continue to change the site as I get used to this new theme and what can be done with it.

If you are currently subscribed to the site via Feedburner RSS or e-mail updates you will continue to receive updates. If you are not already subscribed you can do so on the right hand side of this page.

Thanks for reading the site. Let me know in the comments here what you think of the new design.

I have been creating a few lately about different things I have blogs about, or write about on other sites.

Here is a list of Squidoo Lense that I am currently working on:

  • Renovating in Australia
    This is a page that features some of my more popular posts on my Renovation Site.
  • Townsville Builder
    Our builder here in Townsville does not have a web-site. I set this page up to highlight him and some of what he has done on our house. Working with him on our house has been a real pleasurable experience so far.
  • Termite Control
    Termites are a huge problem here in Australia. This is a page with some of what I have learned about them since owning a house and property in Australia.

It is actually quite easy to set-up Squidoo lenses about pretty much anything. If you are interested in creating your own lense then head over to Squidoo and sign up.

I have a few more lenses in the works, but these are the ones I have been working on recently. One of the ones that I plan to work on soon is for myself, Bill Hutchison. Because Squidoo ranks well in the search engines I hope to be able to set up the lense for my own name to rank well in the search engines so people can find me easily on-line.

I had a week to set-up the site and get it running before a radio advertising campaign was launched.

You can check out the results of my work at www.voiceforthevoiceless.com.au.

Voice for the Voiceless raises awareness of Gender Based Injustice issues. Awareness is raised though a 30-day prayer guide and though Voice in the Dark Concerts. Both of which you can find out more about on the site.

One of the coolest features of the site, I think, is the embedded live video stream for the concert that will be running tomorrow (Saturday) night. We have also embedded recordings of some of the stories from the 30-day prayer guide.

You can read a bit of the process that I went though in setting up the site over at Using WordPress for a Basic Web-Site – Voice for the Voiceless Australia.
