A long time ago in a galaxy far away

Many thanks to everyone who has written to me encouraging me to get the rentals site going again and for all the advice on Search Engine Optimisation.

I am treading water at present - waiting for something to come from the ideas and effort around me, hoping for the primeval Intenet dust to form into words, pages and websites. My biggest challenge is to construct the new leisure commmunity site for travelers. This is to replace what I lost with my old sites at RentalsFrance, 1stVacations and about fifty other wesites I created from 1996 and lost in 2005 - but this time to make a website which is stronger, better and a true Web2 service.

Part of this alchemy is the writing of blogs and articles, I try to respond and react to at least two relevant and interesting questions a day and blog them here, or on my sort of diary site www.fruk.eu The aim is to generate interesting information in an easily communicated way - some days I have nothing to write, others seem to have masses of stuf that needs saying.

I am constantly working on ways to integrate all this information, not only from me, into simple networks of community sites - I have a love/hate relationship with RSS, I keep downloading new feed-readers and the never bother to use them, I constanly bung stuff in live bookmarks on Firefox, but rarely look at them - I am using www.rssfwd.com but this seems a cop-out as I am just increasing my email load, however the logic of having one service to read instead of two seems right as the information overload gets worse every day.

So slowly the dust settles and a shape is emerging , now to build a great community - with your help.
