It’s been a while since I have written anything on this blog (last post was in February I think), so I thought it was about time I put some of my thoughts up here and also update everyone as to my comings and goings over the past couple months.

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….

The last couple days have been quite trying for me. I haven’t had too much motivation to blog…which is really hard on me because I absolutely love blogging. I think it may have something to do with the recent failure of my latest competition which I was really disappointed about. With that having been said I thought I might share some techniques on how to get over ‘writers block’. Read more…

Let me say that I have never been a huge fan of Firefox. I have always had it installed, and I used it every now and then, but now that I have downloaded  Firefox 3 I’m hooked! It is by far the best browser I have ever used and I would highly recommend to anyone that they give it a try. The installation is a breeze, it looks awesome, it works beautifully and it is extremely user friendly! What more can you ask for?

Also, you can download some awesome add-ons to manage adverts, downloaded files, and many more. All I can say is that if you aren’t using Firefox you are missing out!

Well, that’s my two cents worth. If you have an opinion, please feel free to share it

As you may know, I offer consulting services for anyone who is interested in starting their own e-business or blog, as well as for anyone who is looking to take their blog or e-business to the next level. Now, it seems there has been some confusion over this… I currently don’t charge for my services because my main focus at the moment is on building my online brand and growing my businesses, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t help you at the same time!

Ever wondered if there was a way to increase your traffic exponentially? Well, there is and it’s called Blog Rush! I came across Blog Rush a couple months ago but never implemented it due to the state of my blog design at that time. This tool is not available to everyone; you have to abide by their quality guidelines in terms of website design and content. However, once you have been approved, you blog gains vast exposure across many other blogs in the same niche as you.  Read more…
