I find it fascinating trawling through the web and coming across random posts about Veggie Vision, we have people on twitter talking about us, and this lovely blog post by Laura Malesich via  HippyShopper.

Its nice to know that people are using the site, the plan is to upload the tons of clips waiting to be encoded, and drive a whole load of fresh new content out.

Wow - this is such an interesting conversation:

It would be wonderful if the bloggers and social media users out there could spread the word and send in your comments/suggestions so that we can make the site useful to veggies and non-veggies alike.

Ok, its official ... new look is LIVE ...

I know, its taken forever ... enjoy .. i came across this interesting blog post about us

(we WILL definitely be bringing varied content to the site)

I don't know where time files .. its nearly the end of Vegan Month !

Its been very busy for me in general, lots of new projects cropping up, there has been some very exciting things going on behind the scenes here at Veggie Vision, which I hope I can share very soon.

We are members of Ethical Junction, and I think we are getting a mention in one of their mailouts very soon, which is great in itself.

Are there any kinds of video clips you think are missing at the moment, or certain types of content you feel could be included ? Drop us a line or leave a comment.

Also there are only a few more days left to enter the Tibits competition .. If you fancy a meal for two at this lovely veggie restaurant in London, you better get your skates on !

enter competition

Karin will probably leave a message soon about the upcoming Christmas Without Cruelty Fair, this Sunday.

OK, back to work !

Hey everybody,

Karin, asked me last week if I'd post something up on the blog, and of course I said I would. In fact i've been wanting to post a story of some sort up here for a long time.

I'm Ket, and I work on the tech and website for veggie vision. There are tons of things going on behind the scenes including Karin working like mad to keep bringing great competitions to everyone and organising new clips to watch.

There are some exiting things on the horizon for Veggie Vision. There have been many planned upgrades/changes and jobs that have nearly happenned over the last few years. This has helped us grow and bring all the experiences together to do something really cool, with VV. Stay tuned.

I've been in the garden with my partner digging up potatoes today. We have a small Vegan Organic Garden patch and its so cool to be able to "grow your own".

We have an abundance of Rocket growing, but we wish the Potatoes, Garlic and Beans produced more. Oh, we have tomaotes on their way and a mango stone has started to grow into a tree !! Although I think it'll be near impossible for us to grow it in this part of the world (anyone with a huge greenhouse ?).

SO enjoy the rest of the weekend, Please check out the new and excellent, Veggie Pride clip on Veggie Vision (look in the Roving Reports Channel) , and take part in the current competition if you haven't already.

I've started cataloguing all of the programs we have published and due to go onto Veggie Vision. The first step being to build a database system to house this all together, so that we can, not only provide detailed info on clips being watched, but to make management of all submissions and timelines accessible to team members.

This is going to make such a big difference in the way we can roll out programmes to the site, just wanted to let you all know what's happening.

Hope everyone enjoyed their pancakes yesterday ! I know I did

I've updated the code on the competition page, there was a report of the link not working, so for all of those that have tried and got nowhere, get over to www.veggievision.co.uk now.

The competition changes soon.

Good Luck

I remember having a long phone conversation with Karin, one of the many long brainstorimg sessions we usually have over the phone, discussing veggie vision possiblities. I remember the buzz we felt whilst talking about setting up a blog to keep visitors and viewers up to date not only with new programme uploads and competitions, but also development of programmes currently being edited or even news of a recent shoot.

I couldn't think of anything better than blogging the whole experience. So after finally getting Christmas and the New Year out of the way, I've found a little time to set up this blog and am sure Karin is going to be keeping us all up to date with great Veggie Vision musings.

If anyone has any question or difficulties in reading or accessing the blog contact me directly, otherwise please keep on enjoying Veggie Vision, let us know if you like what we're doing as it gives us a lot of encouragement and we want to keep adding new and positive features to the site to make Veggie Vision a unique and positive source for veggie video !

So let us know if there is something you want to see on Veggie Vision thats not on there, you can visit the site and watch 4 channels of streaming video at http://www.veggievision.com
