            <title>Focus on Writing</title>
            <description>It's been a little over a decade since I first began publishing content online. Gradually it's moved from static sites to blogs, ebooks and posts on various forums.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of the blogs, by far the most successful has been &lt;a href="http://www.straighttothebar.com/"&gt;Straight to the Bar&lt;/a&gt;. This strength-training site now has a larger readership than all of my other sites combined; and accordingly, this is at the top of my daily blog-posting list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other key aspect of my writing relates to the article-writing, editing and consultation work I do on an ad-hoc basis. I love doing this work, and in order to move from ad-hoc to regular I intend to repurpose this site as a portfolio; rather than a blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With this change comes the relocation of a number of articles which have appeared here over the years. As there have been several thousand pieces, I'll only be keeping the best of them. These will appear gradually - slightly updated - on &lt;a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Scott_Bird"&gt;my corner of EzineArticles&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime, here are a few of my favourites on other sites. Enjoy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Environmental&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saving Water (part &lt;a href="http://www.formerfatguyblog.com/2007/12/09/saving-water-how-to-measure-your-water-usage.html"&gt;I&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.formerfatguyblog.com/2007/12/16/saving-water-the-benefits-of-using-a-water-tank.html"&gt;II&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.formerfatguyblog.com/2008/01/06/saving-water-guttering-and-drains.html"&gt;III&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.formerfatguyblog.com/2008/01/13/saving-water-how-to-save-water-around-your-house.html"&gt;IV&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.formerfatguyblog.com/2008/01/27/saving-water-using-greywater.html"&gt;V&lt;/a&gt; ,&lt;a href="http://www.formerfatguyblog.com/2008/02/10/saving-water-designing-a-water-efficient-house.html"&gt;VI&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Diet and Nutrition&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
