New Year, New Blog
The Fumoir has changed. Sue Bailey, AKA Blogmum, has redesigned the blog for 2009. I hope you like the outcome – I certainly do. The theme is inspired by the heyday of smoking lounges at the turn of the last century.
As we are poised to enter possibly the worst global downturn since the Interwar years, a 1920s theme could turn out to be remarkably relevant! Weimar Republic anyone …
On a brighter note, I do hope this theme conveys a little more of the spirit of the original Fumoirs, as described in the French version of the Wikipedia thus:
“C’était un lieu de convivialité, qui pouvait être à mi-chemin entre le cabinet de curiosités et le boudoir.”
In other words, a place to kick back, share ideas and explore new things.
And have a puff of course.
Bonne année à tous. Happy new year

I’m a digital strategist and I like building new businesses. This blog is an opportunity for me to air some of the insights, issues and themes that I come across in the course of my work. I’d love for some/any of these to be picked up as part of the broader conversation on digital disruption.
I love the look. The graphic is brilliant and ties it all together just right. Happy new year.
