For the BlogPad Pro Team

I have been in email contact with the team at BlogPadPro who have been very helpful in dealing with some issues I had with my sites. The support they have provide has been first class. I emailed them late in our business day, and they responded quickly and continued to respond all evening until they got to the final answer, which was a theme issue.

Tay Forest pt2

The sunny day gave some great views and added extra highlights to the snow shots. Many of the paths though were really muddy – and some would be best described as streams – it shows how much rain there has been.

there was a lot of logging activity in the forest – it meant changing my planned route several times but it did supply some material to photograph

I could not post this last night as I had no 3G signal and I have given up on Diamond Resort’s Swisscom Internet. At first I put it down to local conditions but as it persisted this morning I called T-mobile, free from my phone (150), to see if they could help. I had to then pay a reasonable 25p to talk to the support staff but after a couple of minutes discussing the issue with him, he updated the service to my phone – I rebooted it – and it was back on 3G. I have no idea why this happened but the help I got from T-mobile was first class – and I was pleased to let them know this via the text they later sent me.

Last photo on my iPhone 4

20130104-091539.jpg

I am about to swap my phone over to an iPhone 5. So having used the iPhone 4 to both take the photos and post articles to my blog for the last two years – this is probably my last photo and post using it.

The phone has been reasonably reliable – except for the reoccurring speaker issue, so I have bought an AppleCare Plan with the new phone just in case I have a similar hardware problem. I have been pleased with the phone and after we get it serviced Diana is going to start using it.

Why change? I really wanted the better camera the iPhone 5 offers.

I am writing a series of articles for the Octagon website about changing and setting up an iPhone – read more here. and watch out for the first photo and blog post from my iPhone 5.
