My last post was all about procrastination, and I have to giggle to myself at the irony of it. I’m sure that everyone thought I had reached Procrastination Highland – no chance of that!
As the title suggests – I have been busy with two websites and a wedding!
My daughter got married on 7 February. The wedding was out of town, in the arty, scenic, sleepy town of Clarens, in the Free State. What a wondrous, special day the wedding was, and what an awesome long weekend we had away.
Seeing one of my eldest daughter’s dreams come to fruition, and gaining a son, was one of the best experiences of my life! Added to that, my youngest daughter was the Maid of Honour. The beauty of my daughters as they walked down the aisle, and the emotional response I experienced was beyond anything I ever imagined. I feel very blessed!
Amidst the bachelorette party and the wedding plans, I did manage to finalise my first website – Alberton Online is fully up and running. I do need to get more businesses listed. The marketing of the site to businesses has begun!
Once I have a decent amount of businesses listed I will begin marketing to the public. I am also in the process of writing more articles to give the site some substance. I want the place to be more than just listing businesses – I want it to evolve into a community helping each other and working together.
It will take some time though, and considering it is very localised, it’s never going to be a mega website!
My other project – more of an experimental, fun project is Top 20 Feeds.I only got the site towards the end of January and I’ve already had over 300 visits.
I’ve spent the morning tweaking my google ad placements as I haven’t had many google ad clicks! And of course, I need these to help maintain the site costs! I’m getting there though!
