I have moved

As well as doing my usual work, websites and other activities, I have also transported dozens of items over the past few days in the process of moving.
While it does not seem to make sense to go to all this trouble to move much further away from my work and away from where I had internet connection and telephonesset up, I am already found the change well worthwhile.
It is a whole new lifestyle. I now enjoy more natural surroundings instead of the noisy inner city atmosphere, and I have time as I travel to work each day to relax, read, write or just rest both morning and evening each day.

Creating a new website

Bob Allwright asked me to create the website for www.brilliantattitude.com.
I was very happy to be able to contribute in some way to that program that makes a difference in the lives of so many young people (and adults).
Normally this would be a very easy task for me, however this one was more challenging. I had to learn to operate the website building tools used by this website's web hosting provider. I also wanted to create a style for the website that is similar to that used on the Brilliant attitude pamphlets and business cards. It seemed to me that none of the available templates either resembled or be easily adapted to that style.
I am more accustomed to creating from a blank page, putting the graphics, layout, text, navigation and images on in the way that seems to best suit the requirements of the website owner and his customers.
Although the task took several hours, I enjoyed learning more about the programs and seminars that Bob provides, and reading the testimonials as I placed them on the site.
