Blog Migration – Final Blogger Post!

@ By 3 Comments

Just a heads up for all you wonderful readers.

The blog migration will occur tomorrow Saturday 1st February, starting at 1400 Australian Eastern Standard time.  There will be no interruption to this blog, until the domain name swap the the new hosting service, where you will see the new layout.

Hopefully all will go well, as I am paying for a migration service to perform the task.  If it all goes smoothly, I will be giving you all the details within the first post from my WordPress blog.

So dear reader, this will be the last post until Sunday or Monday (depending on the outcome).

Until then, keep keen and stay green and wish me luck!

TGoG Podcast 052 – Beyond Changing Gears with Greg Foyster

@ By 4 Comments

TGOG+podcast+logo+new+1400+v2This weeks special guest on the podcast is Greg Foyster.

We originally caught up with Greg and his partner Sophie in Episode 40, so it was about time that we found out what he was up to after his book tour for Changing Gears – A Pedal-Powered Detour from the Rat Race.

During the conversation, Greg also talks about communal housing, looking for a balanced life, and upcoming events at the Sustainable Living Festival.

It was great to catch up and I look forward to talking to Greg in person at the Festival.  You can find out more about all the events at the Sustainable Living Festival by visiting their site www.slf.org.au/festival14/

If you enjoyed the podcast, please pop over to iTunes and rate it and leave a review. You can also do the same within Stitcher Radio if you use that service.  It would help me out so much, and elevate the ratings so that others can find out about the podcast and learn about sustainable living in the ‘burbs.

You can subscribe to the show via RSS or iTunes or Stitcher for your portable device.  Just use the subscription buttons below.

Until next time, stay green and keep keen!

Moving Blog and Podcast Hosts

@ By 6 Comments

Due to technical difficulties with my podcast hosting service, I have decided to bite the bullet and move from Blogger over to WordPress on my very own hosted site.  This will include my Greening of Gavin and Green Quick tips podcasts as well.  I will be using a dedicated media host for the podcast files (Blubrry or Libsyn), so not only will the response time pick up, but I will be able host more shows.

Over the next few days, you may see some changes to the template of this blog, possibly a new theme, and new media widgets for the podcast episodes.  All RSS feeds should remain the same, but I will let you know before I close down the Blogger site.

I realise that this is a lot of work, but I don’t want to bore you with the details, but suffice to say, I will have a faster and more reliable service for all my readers to enjoy.  As far as the cost goes, when I add it all up, it is on par with what I am paying now.

So blog posts and podcast episodes will be scarce until I am fully migrated over.  If you want to stay in touch with me during the migration you can catch me at facebook.com/GreeningofGavin or Google Plus +Gavin Webber or Twitter @greeningofgavin

See you all soon on the other side!
