Working Nomad

As promised I have uploaded my template for you to use and abuse. All I ask is that you include a link back to Working Nomad if you use it.

It has done me proud and if it can help anyone else as well then that’ll be cool. It is a very simple design based on XHTML and CSS. This site does not use the template.

Please do not expect much in the way of support for this! If you do get stuck please go to the technical area of the forum and ask away there. Myself or someone should be able to help.

The template is only for use in Dreamweaver (any version) but you could in theory save it as a .HTM file and use it that way. I recommend you buy Dreamweaver or at least use the Demo version and see how you get on.

I am leaving Switzerland tomorrow. There should be sign at the airport instructing you to turn back if you intend to travel on a budget!

I have been thinking about making one of my web site templates available (for free) to anyone thinking of starting in websites. I use a very similar template for many of my sites and it has proved pretty successful in the search engines. It is a plain design but can be customised.

In order to use the template you will need Dreamweaver (any version I believe). If you don’t use Dreamweaver then I’m afraid I can’t help at this time. That’s not to say I won’t make one similar for Frontpage etc in the future.

So would this be of interest to anyone? I cannot promise you website success with the template but for those of you who are new to website design it could get you up and running quicker (without having to use blogging software).

What’s in it for me? A link back to Working Nomad .COM of course

Just one other thing. I am going to be starting an affiliate scheme for the Working Nomad E-Book soon with a generous 50/50 split. Further details to follow but a http://www.workingnomad.com if you would be interested.

The picture is my hiking buddy Tyler and one of the many Swiss mountain cows that have a knack of getting in the way when it comes to shooting pictures! At least you can hear them coming. The hills are alive with sound of cow bells!

I am in a small town called Interlaken in the Bernese Alps. I have found a really friendly place to stay with free wireless Internet which is cool. It is a good base for ventures up the mountains and as I write this the mighty north face of the Eiger is looming through the window.

Cable cars, mountain railways, gondolas and ski lifts get you where you need to be. Tomorrow I am heading up to the highest railway station in Europe called Jungfraujoch (3500m or 11,500 feet above sea level) which should be cool in more ways than one!

I am sticking around Interlaken for three more days before I head off for a bit of glaciated valley action. I am then heading south to the famous Matterhorn region. Boy I love the mountains!

On a seperate issue I am already into record earnings this month and I might break through the £2K barrier if I am lucky which is just as well taking into account the costs here!

I arrived in a very sticky Switzerland last night and have settled in well. I am making a real effort to talk some French and it is amazing how it comes back to you after all these years since school.

I have been wandering about in the city in sweltering heat and found some relief at the United Nations and International Red Cross museums which were pretty cool. I also checked out the World’s longest bench and the highest fountain!

Tomorrow I am off to the Bernese Alps to a town called Interlaken. I have purchased a Swiss railway pass which will give me half price travel, it is extremely expensive to travel here!

My first impressions of Switzerland is very positive and the Swiss (French speaking) people seem really friendly.

Well they say video is the future of the Internet now we all have broadband so I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon. This is just a little introduction to me, you’ll have to excuse the poor sound quality as well. I don’t normaly sound like that…!

I am packing today as tomorrow I am off to Stansted Airport and hopefully away from these record temperatures we have been experiencing in the UK. I can usually put up with the heat in the tropics but it always seems different here for some reason!

Well hope you enjoy my short presentation and rest assured they can only get better. See you in Switzerland!
