It’s been a year since launching the Expats Cape Verde website and moving over to this new online business system with Eclipse. The Cape Verde Tips website and the Expats website are developing nicely, still loads to do and even more to learn about how things work in the back office.

Some friends, old work colleagues and family still find it hard to understand what I am doing with the websites and why I have invested money and spend most of my time working on them, and it’s hard for me to explain, there's many different things been achieved and yet there is so much more to be done. Yes I have been tempted to 'get a real job' as one or two people have suggested, but not to the extent of dropping the websites! However I must say, that since I have been back in UK, I have had a lot of support too and am really thankful for that support.

I have been posting articles on both websites and linking the articles across the sites to avoid duplication and time, not sure if that is a good thing or not for googlebots (yes even learned a new word) and some other technical things that either I have some understanding about, but with some things it’s still like trying to see the wood amongst the trees! more

At the beginning of January I was asked to consider the online system being provided by Eclipse Online Solutions for the Cape Verde Tips website. I knew I needed to do something to move me forward and I obviously wanted to make the right decision if I was to change web host. Eclipse made the suggestion that I should look online to see what else was available. more
