A BIT OF INTERNET MAGIC

Hi, as you can see from the date of the only post on this blog, started this two years ago. It got lost, yes lost some where in the Internet which I was very unhappy about because I like the name. I love blogging and have had many blogs that I have lost in one way or another. Some I lost the login details for, some the user name and some went when certain ISPs bit the dust, but this one just disappeared of its own volition.

I recently joined google reader mainly to read my own blogs as they looked to other readers and there it was along with another I lost.

So what is it all about. Doing my bit to save the environment and hopefully passing on a few tips at the same time.

So if you want to, become an eco-citadel warrior, join up and follow this blog. I welcome your comments and try to reply to them all.

The ads are not there to intimidate you into buying things they are a way of raising a small sum to pay for the Internet costs to run this and all my other blogs. Go look at them or not as you please.

The Eco-Citadel

A citadel is a fortress for protecting a town, sometimes incorporating a castle.[1] The term derives from the same Latin root as the word "city", civis, meaning citizen.
Citadels are most often used to protect a garrison or political power from the inhabitants of the town it is defending. They were designed to ensure loyalty from the town which they defended.
For example Barcelona had a great citadel built in 1714 to intimidate the Catalans against repeating their mid 17th and early 18th century rebellions against the Spanish central government. In the 19th century, as soon as the political climate had liberalised enough to permit it, the people of Barcelona had the citadel torn down, and replaced it with the city's main central park, the Parc de la Ciutadella. A similar example is the Citadella in Budapest, Hungary. The Citadelle of Quebec still survives, as the largest citadel still in official military operation in North America, after more than two hundred years of existence.
In ancient Greece, the citadel, placed on a commanding eminence, was important in the life of the people, serving as a refuge and stronghold in peril and containing military and food supplies, the shrine of the god and a royal palace. In the Middle Ages the citadel was the last defense of a besieged army, often held after the town had been conquered, and affording retreat to the people living in the areas around the town.
In a fortification with bastions, the citadel is the strongest part of the system, sometimes well inside the outer walls and bastions, but often forming part of the outer wall for the sake of economy. It is positioned to be the last line of defense should the enemy breach the other components of the fortification system.
