General Ramblings of an Internet Marketer
WordPress is the standard when it comes to blogging and I really don’t understand people who recommend using anything BUT WordPress. It’s incredibly simple to use but also very powerful, thanks to the ability to install a few plugins here and there.
I found this awesome article today on 10 Plugins your site needs and I thought I’d share it here:

I am in serious need of a holiday – only just past mid-April and I am a serious wreck and could do with a get-away experience. Since there’s a long weekend coming up I thought I’d find a suitable B&B to chill in. Taking a look around online, I have to ask … have these B&B operators lost their marbles?
In the UK I can find a nice relaxing B&B with free wifi for around £40 a night, including breakfast … in SA I’d be lucky to get a tent for that! Prices seem to be between R1300 and R4000 a night per person – and that’s not even 5 star and doesn’t even include breakfast!
No wonder FIFA has labeled SA the most expensive World Cup ever. For business travelers, the rates are OK. I mean, the business picks up the tab anyway … but if you’re looking for a quick weekend getaway at a nice place that’s out of the city – I’m sorry, but I cannot justify R7000 for a weekend when the same money gets me 4 days at Victoria Falls, a helicopter flip, 5-star accommodation AND the flights to Livingstone.
Cape Town tourism has just become too expensive for locals – and soon International Travelers will realise it’s not worth the 12 hour slog from Europe to get here when you have to pay R19 for a 200ml coke (Waterfront restaurant price).
Come On Guys! Let’s get with the programme – charge a fair price, offer an awesome service and lets see Cape Town Tourism Boom!

My iPad is finally along it’s journey from Chicago … I’m incredibly excited by it – I’ve been following the blogs all over the US about this awesome little tool that’s going to make my life better. I’m also really excited that my favourite coffee shop in Blouberg, Carlucci’s has free wifi – so all things are looking good!
You can track the journey with me!

It’s slightly delayed by the Volcano in Iceland, but I am patient!
