Default Hello!

Hi everyone, I'm Ben. I'm a Brit living in Australia. By day I work from home as a Windows programmer, by night I do web development for my own company. I am a self-confessed workaholic.

My main blog - Ben Barden dot com - is updated daily. The focus is on blogging and website tips without the jargon. I've seen many bloggers assuming that everyone is technical and I'd like to help those who are not. I'm a technical person who has helped many non-technical people by giving clear and simple explanations.

I use my own website system - Majestic - which is the focus of the Injader Blog. I only update this blog whenever there is information to share.

I also write music, and I have loads of free tracks on my site.

Nice to be here!

Hello Ben and welcome to the forum.

Seems like you have a lot to offer in way of advice for novice to experts and glad to have you with us.

What made you decide to live in Aus as a work from home telecommuter? It's my dream and curious how you're liking it!

Hi Rob, thanks for the welcome.
I certainly hope I can help a few people here.

As for moving to Australia, we had the luxury of choice because my wife is Australian. We compared the UK to Australia and both agreed that Australia would be better for us. This was mostly because house prices are much more affordable here (we actually bought a house just before Xmas and will be moving in a couple of weeks). Also, the standard and cost of living is a lot better. The UK is overcrowded, expensive and just not a very friendly place anymore!

Hey Ben,
What part of Auz? I spent a few weeks working in Brisbane and Sydney 6 years back (my how time flies) and thoroughly enjoyed them both. Also spent a week, again working, in Wellington, NZ...a very different culture to Auz, but very enjoyable in its own right!

We're roughly halfway between Sydney and Brisbane. We've been here since October 2006. Time does fly! It doesn't seem that long ago that I was in the UK...
