Both links work for me, but I have changed the original post copy to reflect your new URL. Or is it the responsibility of the person who 'owns' the URL to redirect old links to new ones? Some time back, I was responsible for a large site and the technical providers changed every single URL in spite of my repeated and early requests not to do it (it had been all too predictable)... I considered that they had broken the site; our opinions weren't mutual... As all of those links had changed, I considered it my responsibility as site editor to handle this change, whosever 'fault' it was - not that of those linking to me... (?) I’m wondering that too now.

I thought it was such a great reminder that we are dealing with human beings. Its all too easy for the early adopters of technology to forget about the members perspective in their drive for new features. We can all learn a lot from this. I'm going to encourage our clients (where I can!) to publicise their learnings once it is appropriate for them to do so. Helen Hi Ed

The Bright Light would use the whiteboard to help project-manage the development of an Eco-Retreat Centre. The centre functions as a place of environmental learning and healing and is run from our family home in the foothills of Snowdonia. So far this year we have had several visitors staying with us to gain vital respite from the business and hustle and bustle of everyday life. People come to our remote sanctuary to refresh themselves with the brilliant and powerful healing that reconnecting with the natural environment provides. Our family home has always been a destination for those seeking refuge and relaxation, and I am pleased to say that soon we will be able to accommodate others who wish to escape the grueling demands of routine and regain awareness along life's path! We provide several beautiful spaces to stay, including rooms in the main house, a caravan, camping green, a treehouse (about to go under repair) and, hopefully, we will soon have a yurt. Accommodation is free, but contributions to the upkeep of the project by way of donation and practical help are requested. During a stay, guests will find peace and relaxation, whilst receiving holistic treatments and practising environmental sustainability. Our desire is to share a source of inspiration and information for environmental artists and healers, and sanctuary for people who are in convalescence and recovery. We strive to provide opportunities for those that do not possess the finance or opportunity usually required for healing. However, this is dependent on the volunteers we have available. For more information about becoming a volunteer, copy and paste this URL into your browser: http://www.wiserearth.org/job/view/a94bcea39df7b75fbef525ca541d7d4c Or visit www.wiserearth.org and search for 'The Bright Light Cooperative' under 'organisations' or 'Project Coordinator' under 'jobs'. No website yet I'm afraid! Anyhow, if Thhe Wondrous Whiteboard is still available and fancies a stay with The Bright Light, we would be very grateful for the adventure.
