lAjarn.com is in the process of getting a huge makeover. A busy team of programmers and designers are working frantically backstage to give the site a fresh new look - and at the risk of sounding a little biased, the work done so far looks fantastic! Yes, it's time for ajarn.com to enter the world of RSS feeds, links to community network sites and to generally make the site not only far more interactive but also much easier to navigate, etc. Although the new-look ajarn.com won't be launched until ater this year (there's still a lot of work to be done) I'm looking for ideas from our readers on what sections you would like to see on the website. Some sections in the past haven't gone as well as planned. I've generally been disappointed with the variety of contributions for the Filipino section and the idea of the 'find-a-teaching-buddy' section never took off at all. But that's life I guess. Some you win and some you lose. The 'Julia's Journey' feature sparked a lot of interest and to some extent 'Dave's Journey' as well. Anyway, let me know your thoughts.

We've also got grand plans to introduce an ajarn.com new arrival service. This will involve assisting new teachers by setting them up with a good apartment, introducing them to schools that pay a decent salary (one you can actually survive on) and a full day's orientation in Bangkok. What it won't be is a teacher placement agency. Ajarn won't be assisting with work permits and teacher's licenses but we will be offering a helping hand from the moment you land (actually that's a good slogan isn't it?)
