Blogging

In 2011, Ian discovered the thrill of blogging. Up until then it seemed amateurish, but technology (as it does) had improved and professional-looking blogs were possible.

His first blog was about his Multiple Sclerosis (www.MyMS.com.au).  This was initially set up to demystify MS for family and friends (one even asked, “How long have they given you?”).  From the ‘pages’ on MS, it moved to posts – jokes, observations and really, just a daily diary, which became quite therapeutic.

Using the same template, Ian then set up a blog called The Pacific Insider – a place to share up-to-date information, news and gossip from the Pacific (www.PacificInsider.com).  Apart from the information, this allowed for immediate updating of specials/deals for the travelling public.

The next blog off the rank was South Pacific Weddings – an interactive website that allowed immediate updating as well as the ability to host mini-websites for couples who planned to marry in the Pacific and/or a gallery for those who had married there – www.SouthPacificWeddings.com.au.
