BlogWriter on IPhone again

After having so much trouble with my P
c earlier today, I'm back on the IPhone using my ThinkOutside Bluetooth keyboard. I now have the full version of the app which has, at least in theory, much more to offer.We shall see if it's accessible using Apple's built-in screenreader, VoiceOver...
It looks as if it's doable, but not sure yethow easy it will be for me to copy and paste in links or other information from emails etc.
One other little thing - if anyone knows of an app - there's no way to rename the photos in your photo album on the IPhone to anything other than image-001, image-002 etc. OK, I know it's possible for this to be done at the computer, but it would be very useful for my sighted assistant to be able to take a picture, rename it, and then for me later to know what the photo is and do whatever I want with it from the IPhone.
So what's all this got to do with Ethical Living, or my business for that matterWell, in their way Apple are opening up the world of computing and mobile phones to those with little or no sight at an affordable price. And that's well worth shouting about. And, of course, the IPhone is the greatest thing I have when away from home (or when in bed as now) for my business, although I did originally buy it for personal use.
OK, readers.Have I strayed far enough away from this blog's title? Perhaps now the time has come to rename it to Essentially Natural to reflect the name of the Company, or perhaps something like 'Musings of a blind business owner'?
I really would love to know what you think.
There may even be a prize for the reader with the best suggestion or comment. :)

'Man cannot live by Sky alone' - or can he?

Well, I've always found it intriguing how the Soil Association and PR agencies glean quotes from the millions of spoken and written words that bombard us every day. And none more so than this one:
“Britons now spend more on Sky than on bread [more than £4bn Sky to £3.4bn bread].”
Lord Maurice Saatchi on the http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_9116000/9116903.stm Today Programme.
He was, of course, referring to the influence of Rupert Murdoch on how you can changing the world against all probability, speaking at last night's Lady Thatcher Lecture launch.
I don't think there was any other green message there, but it still leaves food for thought, if you'll pardon the pun.
But there's lots more in todays Newsletter from the www.soilassociation.org Soil Association:
'No more beef and cheese: Go vegetarian' cries the http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1322704/Go-vegetarian-order-Government-food-police.html#ixzz134qNWnNi daily mail;
An article on the real meaning of 'Green valleys: sustainable food in Wales' and the provision of food for the local community (from http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/oct/21/green-valleys-sustainable-food-wales The Guardian;
or, from http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/8077258/Michelle-Obama-digs-for-victory-as-the-President-hits-the-campaign-trail.html The Daily Telegraph:
The First Lady’s White House harvest
U.S. first lady Michelle Obama harvests a pumpkin from her garden veg patch with local 5th graders as they participated in the White House Kitchen. The harvest of Hallowe'en pumpkins was part of the first lady's Lets Move! campaign to reduce childhood obesity.
The Daily Telegraph (22 October, p.21).
An interesting read!

Better look, more value!

We are pleased to announce our improved look, better value range of Reed Diffusers just in time for Christmas.

We are delighted to be able to offer our range of natural Reed Diffusers in a new, square bottle with 50% extra at the same price. Not only is the bottle more stylish, but it is more stable and so is less easily knocked over, lessening the risk of spills.

Testing TwitterFeed again :)

Thanks to Christine of the Rossendale branch of About My Area for the info on TwitterFeed. It is indeed very esy to set up to share your blog posts with Twitter and FaceBook and other services. It's a pity it doesn't link to LinkedIn./ but you can't have it all. :)
Another thank you to Christine for manning the Made in Rossendale stand at
the Valley at Work business exhibition yesterday. Very poorly atended unfortunately (unless things picked up after lunch); I wonder if that's the recession or just people not willing to travel from one end of the Valley to the other. Come on, Rossendaleans, it really does take less than twennty minutes to get from Haslingden to Bacup by car!
