Why the gap?

28 April 2008

Well, if anyone has just stumbled upon this blog, you’re possibly wondering what I’ve been doing between April 2007 and this week. The truth is, I’ve been blogging on my old site, which used Google’s Blogger and I had hoped that there was some nifty feature which would allow me to import everything but sadly because I host my blog and update it by FTP, WordPress can’t take it… I will have to root around the forums and see what I can find as I’d like to have just one definitive blog.

*UPDATE*
Well, what a confusing time I had trying to figure out how to import my old blog, it seems the advice is to convert the blog into an RSS feed and then import that… easier said than done! After almost an hour of getting more and more confused I stumbled upon how to do it, in seconds!

I simply went to my Blogger control panel, selected Publishing and switched from FTP to Blogspot, this then moved all my posts onto Blogger’s server and then I simply went to my WordPress control panel and imported them… everything was done in under 40 seconds! I still have some tidying up to do, it doesn’t bring over photos that were hosted via Blogger so I’ll have to manually update those entries and I will have to manually change the categories, unless I can find an easy way to do that, you’d think there would be an option to tick all the ones you want to change and ‘hey presto!” but I’m yet to find it…

Never mind, the bulk of the work is done and at the end of the day, how many people are going to be searching that far back anyway? Knowing me, if I start reading some of the shit I wrote back in 2004 I’ll end up deleting them… which may not be such a bad idea ;)

3 issues of Eve Magazine for £1

27 April 2008

Well, for all you girls who thought I was only searching out magazine offers for the boys, I’ve managed to find an offer for Eve which follows the same principle, you get 3 copies of Eve magazine for only £1!

Eve magazine is packed full of challenging reads, sneaky ways to justify clothes shopping, the best health pages in the business, tried and trusted beauty advice, tasty titbits of fun facts and gossip, delicious food and gorgeous home ideas.

These are some great offers and I’ll no doubt try and collate all the links I find into one post later this week so you can snap up some bargains, even if not for yourself but maybe as a gift? tho they might get annoyed if you stop their subscription after only 3 issues!

Home from Home

27 April 2008

Well, after spending the last few years over at www.omneo.co.uk Mr Omneo has finally moved into his ‘new’ home here at www.mr-omneo.co.uk

Why the change I hear some of you ask?  Well, quite simply there was too much confusion as to who Mr Omneo is and what he was up to.  It was difficult to raise business related topics there as people were too used to the ‘private’ side of Mr Omneo’s life.  This way there is a clear distinction and for a vast number of people, they will never see ‘both’ sides.

3 Issues of Maxim for only £1

26 April 2008

If you’ve ever read Maxim you’ll know what a great magazine it is, it’s the biggest men’s lifestyle magazine in the world. Why? Because Maxim is both sexy and smart. Every issue of Maxim is packed with a winning blend of the hottest women from all over the world, side-splitting humour, the latest in fashion and the smartest new gadgets on the market.

AND I’ve found a great offer on the net, much like yesterday’s post where I found a link for FourFourTwo, this one offers you 3 copies of Maxim for only £1.

OK, so they make money on the assumption that you’ll continue the subscription, which is still lower than the price you’ll pay in-store but all you have to do is cancel the direct debit instruction and you’ll have bagged 3 copies for less than the price of 1… can’t say fairer than that can you?? (OK, technically you could if they offered 3 copies of Maxim for free, but they’re not!)
