Travels

I have just returned from a 7 month trip through India, Nepal, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. I have created a travel blog about my trip, with lots of photos and daily blogs.

Many of the photographs were taken by Abby. She specialises in photography in Cornwall, and works freelance. Her passion is for portraits and people, but also loves landscapes and just about anything that can be captured on film or memory card.

Camper van website

I thought I'd mention that I have a new website about my travels in my camper van. It has lots of information including how to build your own camper van. The information mainly comes from a 9 month trip I took through France, Belgium, Spain and Portugal. There is also information about VW camper vans and hiring a camper van.

On the trip I did climb the towers of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, and took a photo of the statue which Ron Fricke shoots in Chronos. I also took photos of Stonehenge in England, and Mon-St-Michel in France. Obviously my photographs don't compare the moving images in the film, but I'll show them anyway.

Web hosting

This is great website about the best web hosts. All of the leading web hosts are compared so that you can find the best one for your website. The reviews and feature comparisons are particularly good.

There are pages for the best php hosting, best wordpress hosting and the best drupal hosting.

My other blogs

I have several other blogs which I generally use for promoting other websites. They are here, here, this one, and on WordPress; this, another, and pampy.

Translation and bookmark links added

I have added links to the header section of the web pages to allow easy translation of the pages. I have also added links to popular social network and bookmark sites, such as Digg and Google.

Blog

I have a blog over at blogger.com. I generally use it to promote my websites and to talk about things I have done.

Web site moved to new hosting

Over the last few years the number of visitors to the website has steadily increased. In-turn the amount of bandwidth used by the website has increased greatly. I have just moved the website to a new hosting package, which is much cheaper than the previous setup, and offers much needed email spam protection.

For those who are interested:
Old hosting company: www.cube-media.com (A UK company who I recommend)
New hosting company: www.discountasp.net (Everything going very well so far)
Bandwidth per month: 30GB.
Page views per day: 6,000
Unique visitors per day: 1,000
