One hundred postings. Wow. Who would have expected that? All right, probably my family and friends as they know I LOVE to talk and tell and communicate ;

Nearly one year ago, in June 2007, I wrote my first posting. Thanks to the support of my colleague Nils I was able to update my website last summer. For me a “Must have” since I changed from the international print business team in the newly founded team “New Media International”. Becase my old homepage(s), static, partly written in HTML by myself, partly done with programs like NetObjects in HTML, were not longer “up to date”. Thanks to WordPress I now own a modern blog. And thanks to a lot of easy-to-use and very helpful plug-ins there are even features like tag-cloud, multilingual posts, photo-shows with cool designs, “built-in” videos (instead of YouTube-streaming :-) ) available just like on professional big websites. Let’s see what I will plug in next… More important than all these nice gadgets is still one thing: “Content” – what is published here. I hope, this keeps interesting for you – if not: please give me a hint! :-)

It is unbelievable, but true: With the help of WordPress-PlugIns I am able to achieve something what seems to be impossible for some of my business projects: Multi-language capability! This is the first post published in English and German. I will (have to ;-) ) stick to this two languages as these are the only ones I am brave enough to use and write… well, at least two! ;-)

All right, all static pages are translated, the navigation and the categories, even the sidebar. Although there are some bugs, dunno how to fix that yet. I will not translate the older posting so please bear with me… I will try to write all new posts in German and English so the English content will grow soon.
