As promised in chapter 1 last week (disappointingly no one took a chance to guess), I can now reveal the exact purpose of the domain. SAguest.com is going to be a travel booking portal, using three booking engines to sell accommodation, car rental and air tickets for a commission. HotelsCombined.com a lodging booking engine, it’s [...]
I earn my living from blogging and running multiple websites outside the tourism industry. I normally go about my business of creating an online project behind the scenes and only get to talk about it once it’s a finished product. This time around though, I’m taking you along the process of launching a website. I [...]
It’s been a while since this blog was last updated (this is the third redesign, since launching travelwires.com in 2006). The most obvious change comes with the new logo, I’ve done away with the South African map and replaced it with a background airline symbol. This is meant to expand the news coverage and not [...]
After launching AlreadyInspired.com, I realized that the theme I chose wasn’t doing it for me with email feedburner not working. I then searched for a replacement and was able to get an Original News Theme by WooThemes, which had to be tweaked a bit, to get my preferred layout. I replaced the featured post column [...]
I’ve not entirely been feeling the current theme I’m using for my soccer blog which hasn’t been living to its promise. A few things that it failed to deliver includes: 1) Published content doesn’t reflect the date when it was posted. 2) The email feedburner link, doesn’t work. 3) Very limited side bar widgets. 4) [...]
I’ve not given this website much attention since I launched it, which was meant to be my web design and web publishing studio. The whole idea behind it was to provide web development services, which I would then outsource them through various freelancers. I would then charge a commission to my clients for work rendered. [...]
I’ve been hosting my websites with hetzner since 2003, when I first launched a website. Over the years, I’ve also grown the number of websites that I own, which meant my hosting account also increased. Unfortunately with the local website hosting companies they only offer 5GB per month of bandwidth and anything beyond that you [...]
Have been pulling my hair since day one of using www.uniqueblogdesigns.com themes, of which their Cool theme (Nomuzi.com is using that theme) and Personal Blog Theme (my other blog AlreadyInspired.com is using). On both blogs, I’ve correctly followed the steps on inserting the feedburner ID to activate my email feedburner links without any success. I’ve [...]
Since I launched www.travelwires.com its core focus has been the publication of South African travel and tourism business news. From time to time I’ve published international industry news, though only on rare occasions. This has been purposely done, since the blog’s logo carried the South African map which meant special focus was only the local [...]
Since the re-launch of the website, user activity on the website has declined as a result of the stricter measures introduced on 9th March 2009. Before the posting of empty trucks and available loads was open to all without any verification done. However that created a fertile ground for fly-by-night operators who abused the service, [...]
