Well, the day is finally here!  I have been talking about this day for the past couple of weeks now and it has finally arrived!  Today, we are launching the totally new Live in the Philippines Web Magazine it is the Web Magazine for ex-pats in the Philippines and those who want to join them!  I hope you like the new format!  I know that I do!  Of course, anytime you make big changes, not everybody will like it, and I am prepared for that. If you don’t like something about it, leave a comment, and if it is something that I agree needs changing, I will greatly appreciate your tip, and we’ll make the change!

If you are looking at this in the first few hours after launch, of course there are some things that are still being ironed out, fixed or whatever.  If you see a bug in the site and it doesn’t disappear in the next 12 hours or so, please leave a comment to let us know, so that we can check it out.  I assure you that we are working hard to make sure that this transition is as smooth as it can be!

Again, welcome to the new site!

    Hello Bob,

    On the surface this is a very pleasant surprise. I hope to take a closer look in the coming days. Good job!

    Hi Bob,

    It’s going to be more exciting to visit and read your Blog and other Bloggers.

    Well Done, Bob, Congratulations!

  3. Bob says:

    Hi Rose – Thank you so much! I’m glad you like it!

    Hi Rose (#2?) – I’m glad you found the site! I keep hearing from people that it is addicting! I hope that you don’t go into withdrawals! Ha ha… seriously, enjoy the site, and keep contributing to make it even more interesting!

    Hi Wade – I’m glad that this surprise was a pleasant one!

    He Teng – Thank you also!

    Love, the brilliant new look… I’m sure you will encourage even more readership with this style. Although I don’t comment too much on here I do find all the posts from everyone concerned of interest… Well done and keep up the good work.

  5. Bob says:

    Hi Alistair – Thanks for the thumbs up! We are steadily making improvements and fixing bugs that pop up! We should get it mostly finished up by Monday, I’d say. :razz:

    Hi Bob!

    Just a suggestion. How about numerating the comments like the old one. Don’t you like it anymore? Thanks.

  7. Bob says:

    Hi Luz – We are working on that. I had my man put numbering yesterday, but I was not happy with the results. He will work again on Monday.

  8. Jonathan says:

    Is there still a way to get an rss feed of the whole site? The old feed doesn’t work anymore.

  9. tommy says:

    NICE Bob ! Clear crisp and easy to read I like it :smile:

  10. Bob says:

    Hi tommy – right now we are just offering a separate RSS feed for each column on the site. Offering an RSS feed for the entire site is something we will look at, though. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Hello BOb – just want to reply to Rey

    REY, am still working on my blogsite..will keep you posted about it.

    What’s your email ad? (Thanks bob)

  12. Bob says:

    Hi marygrace and Rey – I think that the reason why Rey asked about your blog was because I said that I had posted a comment about your photos of your daughter. I was not clear, Rey… what I meant was that marygrace has posted some photos of her daughter here on the Live in the Philippines Photo Gallery and I posted a comment there! Just look up in the navigation area in the header, and click on “Photo Gallery” then you will find MaryGrace’s photo album there! Sorry for the confusion.

    Bob, LIP’s new look is gorgeous! Everything—the writing, the photos are so crisp and clear. My old eyes are enjoying every bit of this. I loved going through the photo gallery now with BIG pictures. I feel that I am there in Mindanao. The things you photograph can be found nowhere else and the captions are truly informative. I love seeing the everyday scenes of life of the beautiful people in their beautiful country. That blessed archipelago that lives in our souls, paradise Philippines.
    I thank you and Feyma and your team for affording me the opportunity to vicariously visit this place and to learn so much, especially the people here at LIP who give so generously, sharing their experiences.
    Salamat po,
    Karen

    Hi Karen – I’m glad that the new format is easy on your eyes! We worked hard to make it easy and comfortable to read, even for people getting a little older (like ME!).
