Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Hot on the heels of Volume 1 of our 2012 Weblog Book, I’ve now completed Volume 2. This volume covers August – December 2012 and therefore includes our trip to New Zealand for the ITU Age-Group World Champs. As you can imagine this is likely to become one of our favourite editions and with plenty of...
I’ve been hard at work over the past few months producing the 2012 edition of our weblog book, “A Simple Life of Luxury”. I know it sounds as though it’s a little out of date already as it’s from three years ago, but that makes it all the more interesting to do as it gives...
Phew, that’s Volume 2 (July – December) of our 2010 weblog book ready for print as well. After hundreds of hours of work laying it all out in a desktop publishing application, importing photos proof-reading and proof-reading again, creating a DVD of video clips to accompany it and then exporting each volume as a pdf...
I guess to some people that title will mean absolutely nothing. So for them here’s an explanation of each term. Blurb Blurb is a company that allows you to publish and print books. We’ve been using it for a while now to print our weblog (the one that you are currently reading) and the results...
Phew, that was lots of work but it should be worth it. I’ve finally finished producing the hard copy version of our 2009 weblog book and have ordred the first printed copy. Shhh…don’t tell Anna though as it’s going to be an anniversary present! Once it arrives we’ll have printed versions for 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and...
I’ve been busy creating books recently. As I mentioned earlier I thought it would be a really nice thing to make books from each year of this weblog as a memento and photo album for us. At first it was going to be a quick copy of the weblog but once I got into it...
The first copy of our printed weblog arrived yesterday. It was a bit of an experiment as I’d never used Blurb for printing before and I had to use a fairly convoluted method to produce the pdf for printing. In the end it involved creating the book in Pages and then exporting it as a...
We’ve now been blogging since 2005 and my blogging intensities seem to go from strength to strength. It’s surprising how much happens in the life of a small family living a ‘Simple Life of Luxury’ in Wales and I’m forever encouraged by the number of people who read this weblog. I’m not saying the content...
