Welcome to the new look of FabianPattberg.com

Earlier then expected has the new Wordpress theme gone live today and I hope you like it.

Now everyone will be able to see who is behind this blog from the first moment you click on the page. Scary? Well you will get used to it once you have revisited my site for a couple of times.

Thanks to Christian at GoYippi for the quick and great work.

All the best,
Fabian

Busy, busy, busy but lovin it!

I have not been writing for over a week now because I have been extremely busy to say the least. You can decide whether this is good or bad I guess. ;-)
This was my schedule in the last week and a half:
Fly back from Germany, stay one day, fly to Faro in Portugal, get a car to go to Sevilla in Spain, stay in Sevilla for 2 nights, get back to Faro and then fly back to London. And then back in London I am currently trying to drum up business for my consulting services, expand the CorporateResponsibility.Net website and network, network, network! 
Sounds like stress (which it is) but I LOVE IT!
I have some new development to talk about as well.
On the SustainabilityForum.com side have I now been able to use a new front page instead of a holding page. I used the Wordpress Content Management System and simply copied the style and colour from the forum to create a somewhat look-alike of the vbulletin software in order to have it blend in when people visit the front page and then the forum subsequently.
Take a look if you like: SustainabilityForum.com
I also now have the possibility to provide a space for partners of the SustainabilityForum.com. This has always been missing.
I also have exciting news around my CorporateResponsibility.Net website. I managed to kick-start an interview series with leader in the CSR field. This means that I will conduct interviews with a number of organisations and individuals around a specific CSR topic specific to that company. The interviews series will start in the next few weeks and hopefully be very useful to everyone interested in CSR.

This week seems to go quite good so far. I am off to have a lunch meeting with a company today and my wife and I have an interesting meeting tomorrow evening. We will see how these two meetings will go.

Until then all the best,
Fabian

Berlin this week and the redevelopment of this blog

Advance warning: It is already after midnight now so already apologies for my bad English, but I felt that I needed to write my next blog post before I am going to bed.

I have been in Berlin/Germany most of this week and helped out at the ILA exhibition where my parents had an exhibition stand to present the products they are selling in the aviation business. This meant that I was able to enjoy the great sunny weather we had here in the eastern parts of Germany where as in the western parts of Europe thunderstorms and rain pretty much ruined the week. This was a welcomed change to my regular business activities as well. But to be perfectly honest, I am also happy to get back to the things I love. And that is to build my consulting business and manage and develop my current websites.

This leads me nicely to the other developments of the week. After the exhibition today I went into Berlin City Centre to meet a pair of Wordpress Designer and Programmers to discuss the update of this blog and the SustainabilityBlog.org. These two are running the business called GoYippie. Kati and Christian (the two people running goYippie) are really nice and highly competent people as far as I can tell. We talked extensively about my thoughts of redevelopment, agreed a fee for the redevelopment of this blog and I am really happy to have found two people that share my passion for this kind of topic such as sustainability and the important role of the web to promote sustainability across the globe.
The time plan is to have the new blog ready in 6-8 weeks so stay tuned to see the new and totally unique new design of this blog.
Once we have finished this redevelopment we are looking to update the SustainabilityBlog.org by giving it a brand new look and add some nice new features.

All the best,
Fabian

Rainy April weather and the look out for a Wordpress designer

Hello everyone,

I flew from London to Düsseldorf/Germany today and the weather is really horrible. It was just beautiful in London today but not here unfortunately. But I guess that does not really matter as I will be sitting in front of my computer most of the time anyway!

I am also on the lookout for a Wordpress designer to get some Wordpress themes done. So if you are or know a good Wordpress designer with reasonable prices, get in touch.

If not but you wonder what Wordpress is then these links might help you:

  • www.wordpress.org – Download your free wordpress software to set up your own hosted blog
  • www.wordpress.com – Create your own free of cost wordpress blog. Similar to blogger or blogspot.

Wordpress is really a great piece of software if you want to start your own blog, honestly. I am not using anything else.

All the best,
Fabian
