Morning all well, what can I say. I've neglected this platform and I apologise to those who have connected with me. I've this morning been doing a lot of restructuring and rethinking of my approach to networking on the social nets. Some are very specific and to that end I have been testing out new approaches. I'm fairly certain that this particular platform is of vital importance when it comes to the arena of creative collaboration which is my goal. So here's to it. Have a great day everyone.

Just a quick note to say hi to anyone who connects with me on here. Its certainly a refreshing alternative to the established social net. I will hopefully be able to stay on top of everything I'm up to as well as this newest of platforms. The value of which is evident. Collaborative ctreativity is something I'm currently promoting as without it ideas wither and die. I hope all of you who connect with me seek a similar vision. Then together if you throw your hat into my ring we can create significant works that we are happy to stand behind each sharing in the success or failure the benefit or reward. I look forward to it. Have a great Summer everyone. X
