I have always been interested in journalism as a career option and this coupled with my passion for online made creating an online lifestyle magazine seem like the perfect outlet for exploration of such aspirations. Consequently, in May 2008 and on the back of 10 years of online web site design and content producing experience, Tres Lola was launched, a website that I feel passionately about every aspect of, from design to promotion to editorial.
What I love about the medium of online is the immediacy of publication and the opportunity it provides for anyone with something to share to become content producers and conversation starters. It provides a way to build like minded international communities that can share opinions, experiences and knowledge. The true beauty of online is that it allows content producers to speak with their audience and offer a genuine opportunity for real time interaction.
Online Background When I first logged onto the internet in the summer of 1997, I had little clue that I was entering into a medium that would evolve into such an immensely beneficial & dynamic platform for learning, sharing, publishing and network building; a platform that was to become such a fundamental part of my life both personally and professionally.
It has been over 10 years since I created my first website on the now defunct Expage server, from there I moved onto various hosted platforms and was able to learn about HTML, CSS, graphic editing, content creation and web site promotion. I saw website creation evolve from static HTML pages to its current state making use of blogging and podcasts, and with these changes came adjustments to the way I made use of online. Over time I have published websites in various formats including personal, webcam, celebrity and news websites, some of which were featured in national (Australian) print & televised media.
