Internet Marketing - Dream Life 2006

Lots of other things are happening here now. I've been busy painting rooms; negotiating with the local council about sub-division; moving soil - the hard way, with a shovel and wheel-barrow (lucky I'm a strong chick!).
So I attended Dream Life 2006.
The ideas I came back with from the internet marketing event that I attended in Melbourne a few weeks ago has kept me busy with lots of research, checking out various options to go further into - very interesting. The guys who ran the event are from the World Internet Summit team. They have regular events around the world. I have been to several and am gob-smacked with the amount of information and ideas they introduce. You can take a look here and see for yourself! I met some great people at the event (potential Joint Venture partners).
I have a bedroom to do a second coat of paint on now - but I promise to write more soon.

WOW! So this is how a blog works

OK, so this is my first post to my very own blog! Hmmm... what to write??? Well I'll start at the beginning. We made a "tree change" to the gorgeous Barossa Valley in South Australia in Jan 06.
The property is a little over an acre, with views accross farm land with large gum trees and granite boulders - plus the sheep. I've spent a lot of time setting up my first web-site on Organic Gardening. I've also written an e-book on Companion Planting (a must for all organic gardeners). I'm now writing organic gardening articles for various article directories, which you'll find on this blog once I work out how to do it!
The property has a transportable house on it which I am re-decorating (the previous owners were a bit slap-dash with the paint brush). It's coming along quite nicely.
I've made a space for my new veggie garden to go. It's north facing (perfect in the Southern Hemisphere), has wind protection and is close to water. I've formed in my mind how I want it set out, so now I need to pace it out and put it on paper to fill in the details. I have some ingredients ready to go for my compost heap. We have a few chooks which free-range the property at the moment, but I really need to build a chook house before the garden gets going, or they'll get more to eat than we will. Have to get going with it soon as it's August already!
I'm flying to Melbourne on Friday for an Internet Marketing conference. I'm very excited about it. I'm sure I'll get some great new ideas for my site.
