I find some cool things sometimes...
After self-hosting loads of Wordpress blogs (Wordpress.org), I decided to start one up on the shared Wordpress platform (Wordpress.com) mainly for backlinking purposes.
I have always refrained from going there because, as with these Blogger blogs, you don't actually own your own blog. If you hvae some content or affiliate links on these shared blogs which 'they who must be obeyed' object to or if a competitor decides to call you a spammer to get you out of the way, Mr. Google or Mr. Wordpress can delete all of your work without a by-your-leave.
Anyway, the WP platform does have some SEO benefits for me providing I stay within their silly rules.
So, I set up a blog there and wanted a really flexible theme which would be good for RSS feeds. And I found the coolest of the cool. (The 'what am I doing right now' thingy over on the right is the rss feed from the blog).
Take a look at the developers' video. Its really is very good! http://p2theme.com/
So now when you come here and read a post, you will see recent status updates in the sidebar :)

All of Greece Gets an Election
We just had Mayor and council elections here in Greece.
Bizarrely, the electoral process seems to have been modeled on the XFactor rules. Totally useless contestants are whittled away and sent home and the two more serious contenders have to come back the following week for a 'Mayoral sing-off'.
Problem is, Wagner keeps winning.

Is this the most tasteless ad you ever saw?
You really have to hand it to the Greeks. Unfortunately, they excel at things like this. Full marks for having zero consideration.

End of Term atThe Anidri School House Cafe
The season came to a close at the School House Kafeneon in Anidri last Sunday. Unlike a lot of boring restaurants and businesses in town, here it was celebrated with a wild party. :)
Here I am with most (but not quite all) of my workmates and my bosses at the party.
It was a great season and I felt part of a really good team. Although I am relieved to be having a break and enjoying not having to work at the moment, I will miss the place and the people in the winter.

I have Started the Dukan Diet!
Enough, enough, enough of being a fat bastard! I have decided to draw a line in the sand and get myself back in shape at last.
Going through my wardrobe, I was highly concerned to see my 'Hopeful Section' growing ever fuller. This comprises of the trousers, shirts, Tshirts and jackets that I am 'hopeful of fitting into again'. So I figured something must be done!
John & Cricket were out in the summer and cricket looked fabulous. She had lost loads of excess weight but more than that, she looked really healthy. She told me about The Dukan Diet, where she never has to count calories, never goes hungry and will keep the weight of forever. Hmmm. Sounded good to me!
To cut a long story short, I bought the book and read it through to see if it was do-able for me. I started the diet yesterday and, the reason why I am writing here about it is to let you all know that you can follow along with my progress.
I set up a site with a personal blog detailing my experiences on this diet plan which is sweeping Europe. Check out the site and the blog here:
Dukan Diet
Read my experiences, comment there, encourage me if you want, you can even buy the book there too if you want to give it a whirl yourself too.

Time to Grab Some Freebies
Here is a new site where you can claim free gift vouchers for all major sites and stores just by completing some market research or trial offers.
Marketing folk are always interested in how potential customers view their products and are interested in researching how people think about products and services. They are willing to reward those who provide this information. This site brings the two together and offers a great incentive.
Take a look at this video to see how easy it is:
Here is the link: Free Gift Vouchers
