Thank goodnedss for the web. Teli Adlam explain it well

A whole year? And, upcoming ….

January 28th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Travel by Chris Pommier

So, it’s been an entire year since I last posted to my old blog. I’ve since moved the whole mess to WordPress, which took me weeks to learn and tweak and set up. Finally, here it is.

Oh yeah, and I’ve gone to Costa Rica. I’ll be posting some of what I learned traveling there for 11 days.

Our itinerary

From the San Jose airport my partner and I bussed to El Castillo located near the southeast shore of Lake Arenal, where we stayed at the Hummingbird’s Nest. The nest night we stayed at the Arenal Observatory Lodge as close to the volcano as you can safely get. Then, Monteverde and Santa Elena, back to San Jose, and finally Hotel Plinio in Manuel Antonio, one of the most gorgeous places you can visit in Costa Rica. If you need any advice on those areas, leave a comment below, or email me at chris [at] chrispommier.com.

New Blog on Orchid Culture, Pictures, Tips and Tricks

November 20th, 2006 | 4 Comments | Posted in Uncategorized by Chris Pommier

My partner Jonah just launched a new blog called The Armchair Orchidist in which he writes articles for the beginning and intermediate orchid grower who longs to successfully grow their plants indoors. Apparently it can be quite complicated to induce these plants to flower. He’s got such a green thumb, though, let his experience help you succeed! He also posts gorgeous pictures of the plants, as well as tips, tricks and reviews.

I’m helping him focus, market and design his blog. All the writing he does himself. Please check it out and comment. I will be posting here about the process of building the content for the Armchair Orchidist, as well as marketing it.
