In July I attended the Common Purpose Frontrunner programme for young people who could become leaders in civil society. Now, I’ll be honest, it was a useful programme but I haven’t been able to reflect properly on what I learned while I was on it.

On October 10th they are holding a 360 Day. This is where all the graduates from Common Purpose are encouraged to spend a day out of their comfort zone and doing or reading something that they wouldn’t normally. This could even be meeting someone new and different and having a conversation about a topic you wouldn’t normally discuss.

I’ll be having a think about what I’ll be doing on 10/10, but I’d encourage you to take up the challenge. Think about what you could do on that day that would be outside of your comfort zone. It’s not a nice place to be but it helps you to see things differently.

Messing around with themes, so yeah just ignore me for a bit while I get it all sorted.

Well, I finally took the plunge and bought some hosting and setup my own little corner of the web. It’s about time. Now, the big challenge. Where to get a decent wordpress theme? I want something that is pretty swish, but easy to manage, install and allows plenty of flexibility. Any ideas? I quite like Mr Dickinson’s style, and Dave Lee’s isn’t bad either.

This wordpress 2.6 is pretty damn good as well.
