After my last article I've noticed that Wordpress is becoming an amazingly easy tool for new website owners to create the content that they want. Started in 2003, Wordpress quickly grew to become one of the biggest blog/website tools on the internet. With all that success I thought I'd take a look at the alternatives available and see how popular they are.
HABARI
A safe and secure blogging platform, HABARI is designed with the needs of the internet community in mind. It is designed to be an open platform that is constantly being worked on. It has a sleek interface and it uses modern software development techniques in its fantastic design.
Concrete 5
Concrete 5 is a free content management system that is a great alternative to wordpress. It's open source so people can contribute and make the software better for everyone.
Similar to WordPress and Habari, concrete5 is able to be downloaded, and installed on your web host and is a great platform built from scratch. It's main clients are website editors, designers, and developers.
Concrete5 is designed to make owning a website easy. You can simply edit away till the end of the day!
Cushy CMS
CushyCMS is a very simplistic way to run a blog/website. It has been designed to be implemented with little trouble, and boasts about it's ease of use. CushyCMS is a fully hosted solution, so no option to host your website/blog on another domain. That's not a problem here though, its a fantastic piece of kit!
Tomato CMS
Just like the others, Tomato CMS is an open source, blogging and CMS solution designed to meet the requirements of the modern blogger. I think this is a great tool and if you have used the others, why not check this out?

Wordpress a platform to success.
The VW transporter has long been my favourite of the larger vehicles and vans. I've come across a website that I feel really shows off the craftsmanship of Transporter restoration. S-Line transporters is another website built from a wordpress template, the site doesn't look too bad and shows that wordpress is really a growing solution to website creation. The main aspect of this site that I find entertaining is the gallery section.
Browsing through the images you can really see how well this company can fix up transporters, from fantastic looking seat covers to complete conversions every image has something to gawk at.
Taken from their website:-
"S-Line Transporters are the leading supplier for VW T5 Transporters in the South West, and exclusive stockists for Autohaus VW. We have now managed to increase our stock levels to cope with the demand, we have a forecourt in Minehead with an accompanying shop full of our parts and accessories. We hold over 10 vans in stock at all times and each van is carefully selected ensuring that they are well looked after, low mileage and one previous owner or less"
So if your interested in larger vehicles, take a look. They have do have lots of vehicles on show!

Surfing In The UK
The sport of surfing now represents a multi-billion dollar industry, but its not just America and Australia that surfing has become popular. The UK has seen surfing popularity skyrocket this year. With places like Cornwall, Devon and Bournmouth busy even on cold days! A great time to open a surf shop I would say.
A lot of surfing establishments have now opened online shops such as Freakfish, and quite right too! there is a large market to be explored.
English weather is always a factor against getting into the sea, but with the right wetsuit you can still keep fairly warm whilst riding the waves. After seeing all the people in the sea on my last trip to Cornwall, I think I might take up the hobby myself. There is a lot of trial and error involved and I realise I'm not going to be able to just get onto a board and surf, but with help from websites like surfingtipsandtricks.co.uk I may just be able to survive!

Website Spotlight: Themes For Automotive & Vehicle Companies
I came across this yesterday when I was browsing some websites which belong to my local networking group. I haven't actually attended a networking group in a little over 6 months but its interesting to see what they are all doing and what the latest developments are.
In doing so, I found out one of the local vehicle workshops had changed their website, and had opted for a Wordpress template. Now being from a web-based background I am fairly familiar with what templates are available, and their typical application. This one was a little abnormal for me, but I thought it worked quite well - Autohaus VW Camper Conversions
Autohaus VW are a leading team of campervan converters who specialise in VW and luxury vehicles. Their range of VW T5 converted camper vans are considered some of the best in the UK, with many award and show winners being produced in Somerset by the Autohaus VW team!
If you are looking to get your campervan converted, or are looking for your own custom conversion for a camper then get in contact today or you could get in touch with My Transporter Van - A website dedicated to giving great advice about Vw Campers.. The range of conversion possibilities are endless, they can even supply the VW vehicle!
Autohaus VW also have a range of campervan accessories, equipment, electricals and other items for sale via their website. Along with this they have also developed their own pop-top roof system which is lightweight and strong. If you are looking for a quality campervan converters workshop then look no further than Autohaus VW.
Their workshop is located in Minehead, so just off the A39 coming through Somerset. They are a great business to work with, and are always up for a good laugh. The team are always interested in helping out too!
