Been a little busy round here, continuing for the next week or so, but in the meantime I thought I’d share a post I was invited to write for Greengaged, the fantastic programme of events at the Design Council on sustainability, which took place this week. Thanks to Kate Andrews for the opportunity.

Next week: Design for Persuasion in Brussels; after that, I’ll be back on a schedule more suitable for blogging, for a while at least, and hope to get round to some of the great suggestions and ideas readers have sent in. Thanks for your patience!

On 1st October I’ll be talking about How to influence user behaviour: Design with Intent at the Design for Persuasion event in Brussels, alongside some great speakers including BJ Fogg, Richard Sedley and Christel De Maeyer. There are still some last-minute tickets available. Here’s a video from Christel and one from BJ about the event. I’m looking forward to it!

Hi everyone – the blog’s undergoing a bit of a redesign (using The Morning After) in order to allow some new features and tidy up some of the bodges that had accumulated over the last few years. It was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the heavily altered version of 3ColumnK2 I was using, which was giving me a lot of headaches trying to get it to render correctly in IE6 (still around 7% of site visitors). For the next couple of days there may be lots of links that don’t work, and features missing (there’s also something wrong with some of the permalinks), so please do bear with me. At present it looks like posting a comment takes you to a blank page; the comment will still appear, but clearly this isn’t satisfactory so I’ll try to work out what’s wrong as soon as I can. Thanks for your patience!
