    Extreme Makeover blog edition

    posted 10:06 AM, 2007
    seeing as how Extreme Makeover won't answer my letters any more and refuse to even entertain the thought of making me look like George Clooney (apparently there "isn't enough money in the world"), I decided to perform an Extreme Makeover on my blog instead. It's still very much a work in progress, but I like how it is looking do far. I am using as few graphic elements as possible (so far, an rss icon and a form background image), and have based the layout on a modified version of Blueprint 0.5 ,...

    Bolton Deventer is my hero

On the right side right above the iPod icon. Even the icon’s arrow points right down to...

    Sponsored Blogging with Money Talks

    posted 04:39 AM, 2007
    Vincent Maher just launched a new personal finance blog called Money Talks . Normally a new blog would not be newsworthy but what makes this special is that Virgin Money are sponsoring the blog. As far as I know this is the first time that a high profile SA blogger and a major corporation have linked up in this way - hopefully this is an indication that traditional organisations are beginning to understand the concepts behind social media and the value that a reputable blogger like Vincent can bring...
