Wondered where you were and how you’re doing. Sorry to hear the cause of the silence, but happy you’re back.
I’m now a Gramma to an eight week old g-daughter, Ariana. Sold my first simple video yesterday. And, today did my first real photo shoot for money!!!
Still writing ++travel articles.
Hi Julie
Greetings from Hanoi. Congratulations on baby Ariana!
Yes, my website was on wordpress.org, but hackers got into lots of Dreamhost server accounts, including mine, so I had all sorts of strange traffic coming to my website. Have now moved back to wordpress.com, which is simpler and have fortunately lost all the unauthorised traffic.
Just got home after teaching business writing this morning. Major downpours at this time of year, so everybody is caped up to the hilt on their motorbikes and scooters, including me!
Cheers
Ali
