For the last 4 or 5 years that I’ve been using WordPress, I’ve managed to pick up a good few tips and tricks. 90% of my clients are sites who require content management systems, not blogs. And thus I’ve been able to create highly tweaked and customized Wordpress content management systems that give my clients a great method of controlling their entire website via WordPress’s great user interface.
I thus decided to start WPGuru.co.za …
Read MoreTwenty what? Yup… that was my first response when I first heard of the 27 Dinner. Basically its a dinner for geeks, marketers, entrepreneurs, writers, media practitioners, speakers - well, just about anybody who is keen to discuss whatever’s on their mind.
I’ve read about it. I’ve heard about it. I’ve seen stuff about it. And now I’m finally going to it :)
The 27th of April is the next scheduled dinner and its going to be held at the Port …
Read MoreI couldn’t count the sites that claim to have the ‘best wordpress themes’ if I wanted to. There’s just too many. And most of them are crap. They’ve clearly been thrown together in a half-hour in a lame attempt to get some backlinking-footer action.
There are however, a few designers that actually put their back into it and have come up with some really impressive and innovative Wordpress Themes. These are from designers who’ve gone beyond the straightforward main content and …
Read MoreI’m hoping this site catches on. SA Blogger is a new Digg-style site that is purely for South African related news. Actual topic doesn’t matter, just the fact that it must be South African related.
It’s still a new site, so users & topics are few. All the more reason to sign up & start adding content!
Read MoreYay, eventually, we have launch on a new project called SnapCoders.
It’s a service that is being offered by a number of companies lately, but we’re faster and cheaper than most of the ‘leading’ sites, so its all good.
SnapCoders will take your awesome web designs and code them up for $75 a page (4page minimum) and we’ll have it back to you within 6 hours. A pretty bold claim, but we feel we can manage thanks …

You are at a bar or club and you suddenly realise you recognize someone. You can’t figure out how and then it dawns on you… You have never met this person before, but have spent a considerable amount of time lookingat their facebook!
After meeting someone your conversation somehow leads to - “So, are you on Facebook?”
You do not call people anymore, you post comments and send messages through facebook.
You determine how cool people …
I’ve found so many web applications that are so incredibly awesome, I realized that these sites needed a showcase… they needed somewhere to be given the glory & praise they deserve.
So for the past while I’ve been incrementally working on WikkidApps.com - a site to be a showcase for ‘Totally Legendary Web Applications’. Its taken me ages to finish cos its been an afterhours project, but finally its done and pretty much ready for human consumption.
Take a second and …
Read MoreHmm… this is, if nothing else, an interesting tactic to create something ‘new’ on the web. In a world where reality shows capture the attentions of probably millions who want to know which chef won, who dissed Paris, which playmate got nookie… now online geeks (myself included) can find out which web designer won.
Enter L33t Designer, a soon-to-be-launched web reality show were contestants - web designers - are given challenges to complete in a …
Read MoreI dunno how long this has been around for, but I just found out (via Ryan) about some funky hidden emoticons in Skype. Seems the guys over @ Skype have a sense of humor. With the new versions of Skype (2+), there’s 8 new emoticons, and thankfully they’re a little more ‘new age’, than the old dreary smiley faces.
Unfortunately these aren’t available on the standard drop down emoticon menu - you’ll have to manually type in the codes for …
Read MoreI use bookmarks all the time. If I visit a website more than twice a day, I create a bookmark. They say laziness is the mother of all invention and I’m not ashamed to admit that I agree with that.
Bookmarks = Less typing = Time Saved = Money Saved
So here’s a list of the bookmarks that you just gotta have in your collection. In fact I have a folder called “utilities” and therein are all the bookmarks that I find …

A blind man wanders into an all-girls biker bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders some coffee. After sitting there for awhile, he yells to the waiter, 'Hey, you want to hear a blonde joke? The bar immediately falls absolutely silent. ...
