Blog v Forum

Look around this site and you'll find lots of changing information including a Blog and a Forum. You'll also find a "what's new" page and a library listing that changes with our ever-increasing number of Open Source books.

What are they all for? Why do we have them all? Each has a different purpose!

The Blog - known as "The Horse's Mouth" - gives me an opportunity to write on any and every subject just in case people are interested - almost like an interactive diary. With search technology leaping forward, a diary / daily note need not be a boring document in which the occasional gem is so well hidden that it will never be found ... rather, the search technology can be used by the visitor to find the gem. Syndication and listing content on search engines can widen the potential readership (or should I say searchership? ) and turn personal ramblings into, potentially, a useful resource.

Our Forum - "Opentalk" - provides help for the community of newcomers to Open Source programming to ask questions and discuss issues with others in a similar position, with some more advanced folks helping along and guiding. It's subject based (as opposed to a Blog, which is Author based) although once again the searchability of the Forum, site and Web make the resource far more valuable than a mere paper publication.

The "What's New" page is a quick update for our busy customers who visit our site to find out what we're doing and don't have the time or inclination to trawl and find out.

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - the diary and writings of Graham Ellis. Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
