Best Posts in December

December was a month I’ll remember in the life of Wellness Junction. A lot of planning took place, the new website design went live and I wrote the first short book. Also, we grew in our readership quite rapidly from nothing to almost 300, so thank you all for keeping in touch and sharing the love with your friends and family.

If you’d like to continue to support Wellness Junction, I would appreciate little kindnesses … digg or stumble or delicious your favorite articles to help spread the word … leave a comment on any post you like … or just continue to read and participate.

And without further ado, here are the best posts from December:

Our new website is here

I’m absolutely excited by what my designer Razvan Teodorescu has created for this website. It really encapsulates what the site is about through it’s classy header that changes image and the website’s layout. More importantly, it sets it up for an awesome content-filled 2008.

Working with a designer by email and remotely (without being in the same country) has been a great experience. Razvan is a rare dude that’s able to work on the site design and come up with his own creative stuff without having to be spoon-fed and I’m appalled that it’s a rare commodity in people these days. His understanding, knoweldge and use of Wordpress technology through which this site is built is second to none.

If you need a website overhaul or just a new site set up, he’s the man to contact. Leave a comment and I’ll send you his email address if you want to get in touch with him.

WJ on Facebook (and other updates)

Most people do want to be healthier. They start the process, but fall through because they don’t have support from another person. They don’t have a community around them to help them. A community of like-minded people all working together and supporting each other in taking back control of their health and getting on the path to wellness.

That’s one aim of our Facebook group. You’ll possibly even achieve things in a community you couldn’t possibly do alone. One person can make a difference, but a group of people can make changes far beyond the sum of their parts. The possibilities for creating as a part of a creative community are limited only by the imagination and vision of the group members.

Communicate with others at the Wellness Junction Facebook group.

### Other Updates

1. Our site has got it’s new look. It’s set to be tweaked over the next few weeks, but the overall look is here to stay. Thanks for sticking with us as we’ve made the transition.

2. We’ve started the active search to call in contributors. People who excel at what they do in the field of health and wellness. They’ll be people specialising in the eye, nose, ear, skin, yoga, raw health, etc. Look out for their tips.
