Looking back over the posts  in Tenerife Tattle  is like reading a diary and of course, that is exactly what it is. Although it was written by an expat living in Tenerife, it is less about Tenerife itself than the little funny things and frustrations that make each day different from the one before and these are things that happen to everybody, everywhere.

There are rants about school books and gossip about my high maintenance sister in law, tales of my pets’ escapades,  descriptions of days out and the odd snippet about my even odder neighbour (she of the sh*t – slinging escapade).

I always saw Tenerife Tattle as a bit of light relief and separate from my main website eTenerife.com which has been for ten years, ‘Tenerife Information for Tourists and Expat Residents’.

Thanks to an ever decreasing amount of time or an ever increasing lack of organisation, I reached a point where something had to give. In the end I had to look at both sites and admit I was doing neither of them justice.

So, I decided to put them together  and now eTenerife has been spruced up into a new blog style. It will incorporate both the gossipy lifestyle type articles that used to be found in Tenerife Tattle and the holiday and property related information that it always covered before.

Tenerife Tattle will no longer be updated and much of its archival content will be moved over to the new and improved eTenerife.com. I hope you will join me over there.

Whew! They do say don’t believe all you read and that is SO true when it comes to following instructions you find on the digital highway.  What was supposed to be a one-click import turned out to be quite a bit more involved than that. Still, after a bit of faffing and blowing here we are in Tenerife Tattle’s new premises and although some things got lost in the shuffle (mostly video clips) I’ll get them reuploaded in no time at all.

What is more of a worry is the effect the move might have on Tenerife Tattle’s visibility. I can track down and ask any webmaster’s that have links back to specific posts to please update them but whether they have the time to do so is another matter.

The design of the site will have to evolve too. This plain blue shell is the Wordpress default and though I like the simplicity of it, it doesn’t scream Tenerife does it? SO please bear with me. I’ve got quite a bit of house-cleaning to do after the move and TT will be a work in progress for a while. But then, a website that stops being a work in progress is as good as dead anyway, right?

You can help me get the blog settled into the new domain by linking to it from a website if you have one.  Google loves links
