I’ve been tweeted and re-tweeted, tweeted twice in fact,
twit-twoo. I’m not a twitter, merely
a blogger, so hardly cutting edge but one must move with the times. So, although I enjoy writing articles
for magazines, I write on a computer rather than with a fountain pen in a moleskin
notebook, I’m no literary Luddite.
Permaculture Magazine
have decided to put quite a lot of effort into publishing more articles on the
Internet rather than increasing the size of individual
magazines or the frequency of publication (still a
frustrating wait for each quarterly magazine). I continue to write
articles for their magazines but have now started writing for their website
too.
My first effort shows how to make a barbeque out of an old oil drum, aided by my diminutive assistant, 9-year-old neighbour Camille (here dressed up in her dad's work wear).
My latest offering is how to press your own apple
juice. Either go to the magazine’s website and scroll down to ‘Readers’ Solutions’ or click here.
I sent the text and photos off and then my thoughts turned to the next
project. However, no sooner than it was
published on the site than my step-daughter, Christina, emailed me (from her
Blackberry) to tell me that she’d been alerted to Permaculture Magazine
tweeting my nascent article and that she’d re-tweeted it to her Twitting
followers. I’m not sure I fully
understand.
She signed off with, “Can't wait to try some of the juice!” For all this electronic wizardry, she’ll
actually have to come and see us, it’s not as if I can email the apple juice to
her … or could I ?
