One of the consequences of publishing hundreds of magazines if that you end up with a whole lot of content, which just goes to waste if the magazines sit around on a shelf or table somewhere.

Over a decade you end up with thousands of articles, or in my case, over 5,000 articles, on a wide variety of subjects.

Back in 1997 we registered Think.cz in the Czech Republic to create an on-line archive, a site which brought us tens of thousands of new readers every month and not a bad amount of advertising revenue, via AdSense, our advertising clients and paid links.

But like all good things, things change. And by 2007 revenue was dropping because our site had too wide a focus. So with the help of Franklin Pruett, I began learning about CMS (believe me, editing 5,000+ in static html pages had worn me out). In the end the system I settled on was the open-source program Joomla.

From the original content and new articles submitted by volunteers (and my insatiable urge to write), I have broken the orginal Think.cz site into the following niche domains:

Think Expats Singapore is a continuation of our relationship with our audience in Singapore since ceasing print operations in 2007. In this site you'll find all things uniquely Singapore, with lots of shop, restaurant and entertainment content.

The Witty Barman Guide became the repository of hundreds of nighlife venue and bar reviews, tales of drunkeness and our favorite cocktail recipes. In fact, if you Google "barman guide" (as thousands around the world do every day) we come up #1.

Gashaus - Where the Music Lives, located on the former domain of my music bar in Singapore, is now home to all things musical, with thousands of music reviews and hundreds of pages of music related content. If you've ever Googled "live music Singapore" you will have noticed we're #1 for a very long time.

ThinkScene was created for all the companies sending us press releases for their events to have a place to call home. Even though it is a new site, within a short amount of time the traffic started rolling in and the site has earned a PR of 3.

FashionBrain - Thinkin' about Fashion is the new home of the thousands of consumer oriented reviews and style articles we've published over the years, and enjoys a fair amount of traffic even though it too is a new domain.

Think-Magazine.com for a long time was the US mirror site for our Czech domain, but after completion of the content migration, it will be where all the political and "thought" pieces will be located. Think.cz will become the node for Think Expats Czech Republic. I've also created subdomains on this parent site; ThinkCinema, ThinkRelationships and ThinkTravel, to host all the content in those niches.

Thinknovation is my most humble site to date, a repository for ecological and environmental articles and thoughts that have graced the pages of Think over the years..

Having mastered Joomla CMS, I have taken on some commercial projects as well, a revamp of a static html site for the Lion Rock Institute, and two very special sister sites, Agency.Asia and Designweek.Asia, two of the most advanced sites I've produced to date, and well worth a peek. The community building systems learned on these sites will be implemented across all my sites in Phase II.
