Podcast 27 has just been published and like the discussion in the podcast, NewerTech appreciate the importance of backing up your Mac. They have kindly donated a USB 2.0 Universal Drive Adapter to give away to some lucky NZMac.com user to use for backup or to make use of old drives. All you have to do is answer 3 very easy questions....heck, we'll even tell you where to find the answers!

Earlier this week I was contacted by the host of MediaShift on PBS.org. He had spotted the article mentioning NZMac.com's podcast being featured in a section on iTunes and I answered a few questions for him about that event. He has now written an article that discusses the importance to site owners and those in web-related businesses, on being listed or promoted by other sites such as iTunes and Twitter, and NZMac.com is briefly mentioned.

I'm pleased to announce that the NZMac.com podcast is currently listed within iTunes as a Featured Podcast of the Technology/Tech News section. This was a lovely thing to discover today, just after Podcast episode 25 was published and I revised the podcast's icon/image slightly (which should update in iTunes also) to add in a bit more of the 'aqua kiwi'. It's great to see the podcast get the recognition for the work that many have put into it, and I want to thank all those involved.

Happy New Year!! Today sees the launch of an amazing new, revised, rebooted, retooled, re-funnest, re-everything, Community Section on NZMac.com. Think "social networking" and you'll get the best understanding of what the new section brings. Applications you can add, groups you can run, friends to communicate with, Twitter tweets, walls, photos, videos and more...with additions to come later.

Over the coming weeks I will be simplifying the Mac Business Directory on NZMac.com and drastically reducing the number of entries that it contains. Specifically, those companies that have a large nationwide presence will see their entries reduced to one and entered into a new "Nationwide Retail" category exclusively for them.

Welcome to version 6 of NZMac.com! Despite the obvious new look to the site, this version is more about what's "under the hood" than about the redesign. Those changes though have taken quite some time to prepare, which delayed the redesign until now. NZMac.com now runs on version 1.5 of the Joomla Content Management System and will continue to evolve over the coming months with great new features.

I'm posting this as a news item so that people on the news bulletin service will be informed. The site is to be taken offline from 6pm October 9 until (probably) late on October 12. This is to move the site to Joomla (the open source content management system that runs this site) version 1,5 and to move the site to a new design. It's going to be a fairly complex process and will see some aspects of the site hidden for a while upon the return of the site....but it's also going to be a big clean out when I do this.
