Better Start Here

Hard to believe that last month was so warm - now it almost feels like autumn, and it's only November!
Better Start Here was at the iCount event in Trafalgar Square on the 4th of this month - if you were there you may have seen us and if you weren't there, it's not too late to take action - you can visit their website now and sign-up to do your bit to counter climate change (P.S. can you spot us in the photos ?).
This month sees the launch of the Beta Version of The Ethical Writer, a new set of writing services specifically tailored to the needs of organisations involved in ethical and environmental projects - if that's you please take a look, we'd really value your feedback!

Here we are in another month - only 3 months till Xmas and it's already the warmest October on record; can you believe that there are still so-called 'experts' who deny that there is any such thing as global warming? Worse still, a recent survey suggests that 50% of people don't see any link between the way they live their lives and global warming - depressing innit?
Hey-ho, on with business - as usual this month there will be a new Creative Match article coming soon. Incase you're wondering if anyone ever reads these articles, last month's article has so far been read a total of 153 times and Part One of the article has been read 295 times - by no means the record but not bad we hope you'll agree.
I'm reliably informed that a new entry of the Writer's Blog is in the offing, so if you really have nothing better to do...
We're starting a Link Swap scheme this month, so if you'd like to see your organisation listed in our directory just drop us an email and we'll see what we can do;
STOP PRESS: We've just heard that the fundraising campaign for The Children's Research Campaign that we took part in earlier this year has raised a staggering £110,000! Part of the proceeds will be used to send a group of sick and disabled children to Lapland for a Xmas they'll never forget.

It can't be September already can it? It still feels like summer!
This month we'll be publishing Part 2 of last month's Creative Match article,
You can also read more ridiculous ramblings in the Writer's Blog;
As part of the ongoing updates to the site we have now added an archive to The Word of the Week section, a selection of current articles and a Site Map (not very interesting, it's mainly there to help web-bots crawl the site). There are also numerous (mainly invisible) changes behind the scenes that we hope will bring lots of new visitors to the site.
Here's an update on the Biodiversity Project for wildlife fans: we continue to be visited by a selection of finches, tits and, of course, our resident sparrows. Unfortunately for the solitary bee that laid its eggs in our bug box last month, the blue tits soon found this source of tasty snacks, however another tube has now been filled so fingers crossed.

This month sees the launch of our new 'Writer's Blog' - ever wanted to know what a writer does all day? Well here's your chance to find out!
We've added a new article to Creative Match this month that seems to be causing some controversy - it's the subject of their 'Watercooler Vote' this month so why not check it out and then have your say?
Things are going well with the Biodiversity Project and the BSH garden is blooming! Notable visitors this month include blue tits, great tits, a family of green finches and a solitary bee that has already laid eggs in one of our bug boxes!

With the holiday season upon us it's all long cool drinks and deckchairs here at BSH Towers this month but we have managed to put together a new article for Creative Match which is due out next week.
We've also signed-up for the Business and Biodiversity Project (a partnership of Kent County Council, English Nature, SEEDA, Kent Sustainable Business Partnership & Ashford's Future) putting-up nesting boxes and feeding stations and learning what we as a business can do to increase biodiversity in our area.
Meanwhile in the background we're busy making improvements to the site and plans are afoot to add a new section specialising in ethical business - we'll update you soon.

So what's happening in June?

once again we are writing for computerweekly.com's Open Source Channel (just look for the penguin);
our latest article for Creative Match is generating a lot of interest (this article also appears on Google News);
the new sports information website that we worked on last month is now live; checkout Sports Scores Abroad ;
we are currently discussing a number of new projects this month, including a series of articles on desktop computing and a campaign to promote bio-fuels;
so here's to a busy June (a bit more sun wouldn't hurt either!) - oh, and don't forget to check out the latest gossip at Earth View.
