M<\/span>aking things happen on the web (for me, at least) usually involves a few steps forward, a glass of wine, a step backwards, another glass of wine, then\u2026 what was it I was doing? But today, it being damp in the Waipara Valley, I have been trying to stay focussed and deliver a new version of the Limestone Hills web site. Not only was the old one incredibly out of date — still announcing our first truffle as if it was news — but events leading up to the publication of my next book (now retitled The Aviator<\/em>) have made me rethink our web presence. So\u2026\n<\/p>\n

Limestone Hills is now built on WordPress, and the blog has given up its “blog” subdomain to find a home in the main site. Over the next week or two, I’ll be installing a small web store to handle sales of books (physical and digital), using Paypal to handle credit card processing rather than the manual process I’ve been using up to now. The empty home page and all the others will be populated with text and pictures, and there will be a lot of tweaking of sidebars and gadgets until I’m happy with the way it looks.<\/p>\n

The Aviator<\/em> will be launched in August, and already has its own Facebook<\/a> page, plus a brand new blog<\/a> ((Three blogs I’m running. I must be mad.)) which will record events in The Burning World<\/em>. On The Farm<\/a> will be for truffles, food, wine, farm, family and musing, and over at Hot Topic<\/a> I’ll continue covering climate science and policy news as humanity sets about delivering a burning world for all our tomorrows.<\/p>\n

In other web-related news, the Limestone Hills Facebook page<\/a> has been seeing good traffic this truffle season, and is worth a follow if you want to know what we’re up to.<\/p>\n

Now, where did I put that glass of wine?<\/p>\n
