Well folks, you may have noticed that for the past couple of weeks, my blog entries have been on the light side, and I’ve left it to Matthew to make the site historical entries.  We have done a lot of work on the site over the past 3 years getting to this point, and we’ll get you all caught up before the real fun begins (look out for the series about bringing electricity to the site, that’s my favorite preparation).

Anyways, I’ve been busy making an extension to the engine that runs this blog ( BlogEngine.Net ) that will allow us better track work and information about the Vendors we are using in this project.  This isn’t a technical blog so I won’t bore you with the details, if you are interested in the technical stuff, you can read about it on my technical blog here.

The important thing for you all to know is that all of our regular Vendors can now be easily tracked, and articles relating to them pulled up, like this: Highmark Homes NZ.  When ever we use a Vendor that we want to track, we will add a link to that vendor in the blog entry.  From there you can click on the vendor’s name and that will take you to our Vendor Contact Listing page.  From there you can click on a vendor’s name and see all of the entries made for them.

For our extra special vendors we have even made Categories where they are listed under “Vendor - “ (you can see them listed to the right) – >

So now that I’m done doing the geeky stuff, on to some more blog entries on the plans for the house (while Matthew will continue with our historical study).

First up, and our next blog entry is, By Popular Request, “The Kitchen Appliances”.
