New site update - it's been a while. More than a complete overhaul! - When we ugraded our CPU and tried to reinstall Windows, it demanded we call Microsoft and go through an elaborate rigmarole to reclaim a product we had already paid for, then claimed we were using counterfeit software!That was the last straw. We're fed up with the second rate security, "help" that is never any help, "go slows" as it performs some mystery updates that we are not informed about and spyware that reports secret information back to unknown recipients. We decided to switch to Linux. Businesses told us this was madness but we began a changover to Ubuntu. The entire changeover went much smoother than anticipated, with each website offline for a maximun of 30 seconds. The headache was replacing Dreamweaver with a linux equivalent web design package (although we were told that Dreamweaver can be tricked to run in a linux system, our trials revealed that it was limited and too unstable for our purposes). We now use Quanta Plus. ![]() A screenshot of our new Ubuntu system - wild and fast! Coming Up We are in the final stages of designing our own on-line store. The retail trade has so many middle men, then adds a huge markup, and the end price is at least 100% more than it should be. The end result is you, as the consumer, pay at least double the price. In keeping with our policy of quality on a tight budget, we are currently negotiating with manufacturers of some of the best products for the best deals for our store. We will be providing goods for at least 40% less than the RRP. We expect to open in July. Customer Service - You may have noticed our sponsored ads are no longer from Google? When a problem occurred with our Google Adsense account and we could only get a FAQ page for help, not a human, we took our business elsewhere - all 10 websites! We figure if you are making millions in profit, you can afford a human or two to look after your customers, like our new advertising sponsors; Chitika. It's the old story - it's called Customer Service; Customer + Service - they go together - take away the service and you lose the customer. June 2011 - Another website The website, When I Leave School ( www.whenileaveschool.com ) was launched for students and young people. Our work tutoring with High School students, revealed a need for a resource for students nearing the end of High School and for students thinking of studying in Australia. Come on board and watch us grow.
In the Kitchen . . . At Kitchen Headquarters we take a practical and holistic approach to cooking healthy natural foods in your kitchen, that won't break the bank. There are a lot of web sites that have recipes but very few that cover the basics and explain why we do thing that way. We do! We also cover things like preparation and general kitchen techniques. Have a look at our new section - "Using herbs and spices" for a foolproof process to make perfect asian dishes and fat free stews that don't taste like diet food. Today much of our foods are extensively processed with additives to enhance their shelf life, flavour, colour and reduce cooking time in today's bustling lifestyle. Many of the basic culinary skills have vanished. How many Mums today know how to cook beetroot and pickle it, make jam, jello or icecream with real fruit? We want our readers to not only prepare healthy food but to fully understand why it is healthy. Billions of dollars are invested by manufacturers every year to advertise their products, often overstating the health benefits and hiding the additives, toxins, carcinogens, excess salts, fats and sugars. We want our readers to be aware of the facts, supported by research, not urban myths, presented with the minimum of bias. No this isn't just another food site. It is designed and run by the Mimenta Group. If you have visited our other site, Mimenta.com, you will know we don't run second rate sales sites. Our reputation for authority sites, free from hype, packed with easy to read information and high quality graphics is well established - 4.45 million unique viewers in 2009 prove it. Our writers and proof readers include teachers, doctors, lawyers and specialists in a variety of fields. |
