Hi! I'm Melanie. A little birdie told me that possibly you aren't subscribed to this site. Are you nuts?
Subscriptions are totally free, and you can sign up either for Emails or the RSS feed. It's so easy, so do it now, and welcome to Dietriffic!

Just a quick update on what’s been going on around here lately…

New design
I’m sure you’ve noticed the brand spanking new design…at least I hope you have by now! :-)

It’s similar to the previous one in some ways, but now with heaps more space. I’m very happy with it, however if you have noticed any problems please do let me know.

Free Ebook
You’ll probably know I released my free ebook, ‘The Lifestyle Makeover Guide.’ This is a guide to help you challenge the bad habits you’ve held for years (something I needed to read as much as anyone!)

If you haven’t got your own copy, you can get it now by subscribing…did I say it’s absolutely FREE!! Okay…I think you’ve got it!

Feedback
So far feedback on the ebook has been positive, however I’d really love to hear from everyone - whether positive or negative.

You can drop me an email, or leave a comment below. Your suggestions mean a lot!

Free Newsletters
If you haven’t done so, please sign up to my newsletter. In the coming days I’ll be asking for your feedback on the fears, hindrances, and difficulties you face to living a healthy life.

This is your chance to let me know what you find difficult, and how I can help, or what other resources you’d find useful.

BMI Calculator
You may not have noticed, we’ve uploaded the new Dietriffic BMI calculator for your convenience!! Check it out, it looks great, and it’s ultra handy too.

Special Interviews
I’ve also been rather busy with a couple of interviews. The first one was for Mom Going Organic Sensibly from the lovely Doris Temple who runs the site. Doris asked some really great questions, you can check out my answers here.

The other interview was for Darlene Dunn, who is staff writer for Newsnet5, and the article was, “Eat Often to Lose Weight,” discussing the 3-Hour Diet.

Again, I’d love to hear your suggestions and feedback: how we can continue to improve Dietriffic?

Obviously, if it wasn’t for you guys there’d be no point in having this site, so I want to hear from you! :-)

Are You Ready? Throughout the month of January, I'm going to be setting YOU challenges every single day.
That's 31 Days. 31 Articles. 31 Challenges...from the most terrific health blog in world!
Begins Thursday!

Hey you!

I’m just down in the library here, checking out the design on a computer which probably fell off the back of Noah’s ark. For most part, everything is fine, but I’ve noticed one or two little things. I’ll try to fix them for you later, although I think this browser is IE5 or IE6, and it’s criminal to be using such a browser! Combined with a screen resolution of 800×600, and you’re asking for trouble.

Anyway, you know I think you’re doing a great job here, and I think it’s probably time for you to be charging for all the great info you write! ;)

Just one thing; you need to fix the url for the BMI Calculator in this post.

Hey Armen,

:-) Thanks, I’ve updated the url. What would I do without your beady eye to notice things!!

I’m a big fan of the site. Keep it rolling!

I like the new design. It’s simpler, and the commenter’s information has topped jumping over and obscuring the comments. Good work.

Strangely, if I enter 130 pounds in the BMI calculator, I’m told “The stones you entered is invalid.” If I then put a 0 in stones, it works fine. In the US, we don’t weigh ourselves in stones, so it’s natural for me to leave it blank.

Hey Blake,

THANK YOU! :-)

Hi Family Nutritionist,

Glad you like it, I knew the commenter info was a problem on some browsers. Also, thanks for pointing out about the BMI calculator. We’ve put a little note up beside it now in case others aren’t as clued in as you!! Much appreciated.

I’m new here and am about to take a look around but I just wanted to say I love the site design. Great use of the thesis template (I’m saving my pennies to buy it myself!)

Clare’s last blog post..Going organic: is it really worth it?

Hey Clare,

Welcome!! Glad you like the design, and hope to see you around here again.
