Then, enter FNB through a partnership with PayPal (that is surely going to fuel growth in e-commerce in South Africa along with the advent of low cost uncapped ADSL) and suddenly I can interact with anyone in the world cheaply and easily! What a game changer! I can launch a unique business or idea and become an international success overnight! Isn’t this excellent news? Aren’t you extremely positive about the economic landscape of this country? Well, I AM!!

I’m not sure how everyone else feels about all this, but I’d love to know…why not drop me a mail or post your comments below

Firstly, I have been quite busy lately. I started my second degree at the beginning of this year and it has been going quite well actually (thanks for asking). I also decided to take a job offer from a really awesome IT company based in Johannesburg (as their General Manager). I started working for Intdev Internet Technologies in June, and have been absolutely loving it! We’re an ISP with a lot of potential and a great culture, and we’re looking to grow quite rapidly over the next couple of years, so keep a look out for us!

So, what happened to my own ventures? Well, for now I am simply loving what I am doing, and this I believe is the most important thing…it doesn’t really matter to me at this stage whether or not I work for myself or for someone else, aslong as I am learning something and enjoying it. This view may change at some point in the future but it seems to be working for now . I will also still be available for questions and advice regarding your design and business problems (it’s usually free advice) and would love to hear from you.

Right, so now that we have gotten that out of the way, we can deal with an interesting question…what I am going to blog about? This blog has been positioned as a design blog and I have been relatively successful in terms of attracting attention to it through the really cool header that I designed, thus I think I will still try to keep up with web design theme here, but to a lesser extent. I will, however, be using this particular platform to build my personal brand and share my day-to-day experiences of running a dynamic IT business as well as managing people in a fast paced and rather energetic environment, and who knows…. I might even entertain and excite you in the process

Stay tuned for more soon….

Anyway, why not check out the orignial post yourselves!

Anyone else like my new design?

So, basically I have decided to apologize and move on, I’m going to provide you with some cool links to blogs that handle this topic better than I do and I hope those people who have been waiting for this post are able to forgive me for not writing an in depth article

Check out the following sites for some great information and tips :

• http://www.webworkshop.net/pagerank.html

That’s all from me for now…but stay tuned for my in depth explanation of my design process .

Note: Please let me know if you come across any bugs or problems…

For those of you who are actually interested, here is a sneak peak:

Well, that’s all from me for now, but you can definitely look forward to more regular posts from me in the future…once my redesign is up!

What the future holds…

Well, I’m definitely going to be continuing my studies, which will more than likely be in the form of an Honours degree. But in terms of this blog, the future does seem quite bright! In the near future I will probably be changing focus a little. It will still remain a great marketing tool for my talents, which I feel are expanding in a number of ways, but it will possibly become more of a personal blog in which I can really express myself.

How am I going to get there?

The first step is a serious redesign of this blog and the way it looks…because frankly I have been pretty unmotivated when ever I see how plain and safe the current look is. I have already begun experimenting with the design and will post some possibilities in the near future.

The second vital step is to possibly begin earning some kind of income from my blogging. Now, before everyone starts shouting, “Ads here we come!”, let me say that I have no intention on placing any ads on this site. I would,however, like to start helping others set up their own blogs or e-businesses and in turn earn a living doing this kind of freelance work. I’m also considering offering design services in the near future, but currently the main focus is to get the design of this blog sorted out!

Enjoying the ride!

Life really is a journey and I am loving the ride! I hope everyone that reads this will become inspired to go out there and do something new, different and exciting! If you do…please let me know about it. I would love to hear from you.

Lastly…an invitation.

If you’re thinking of starting a blog or need help in deciding what kind of online venture you want to get into, why not drop me a mail. Question are free and so is my advice!

Obviously if you don’t post any questions then I will just go ahead and write the post anyway

So with that having been said…ask away…or don’t, your choice!

Obviously Page Rank isn’t really as important as it used to be, but it is still important enough to consider it when building your website. If your page rank is going up then you’re obviously doing something right! Plus if you ever do decide to sell your website then the prospective buyer will definitely be looking at your PR as a factor in how much he/she is willing to pay.

I will be going into a little more detail on how I achieved a PR3 website, in such as short period of time, in the coming weeks and will also be discussing the relevency, if any, to your life

So…what is your website’s PR? Have you seen a nice improvement or maybe the exact opposite? Why not drop me a comment below
