Welcome to my blog
This is the first post of my blog .
Things are so busy at the moment that I decided to make a central place for me to communicate with my friends and family and share some of the cool things that I find online everyday.
I work very hard and spend countless hours behind the PC, so whenever I get a chance I am outdoors, enjoying the very best of what living in a small seaside town has to offer.
This is also a fun way to practice my craft of website development and get to know as many people as possible.
The best friends are found in the most unexpected places, so please feel free to join in and consider yourself a friend.
I live in Margate on the Kwa-Zulu South Coast of South Africa and work full time as a Digital Innovations Specialist for Pocket Media – South Africans Leading Mobile Marketing Strategists.
I also have a dealership for Vox Telecoms and market the Vox ADSL Phone and their suite of honestly prices telecoms products as well as assist companies to grow their brands through the leverage of Social Media
I absolutely love my job and it brings me many, many hours of pleasure and fulfilment.
But …. when the work is done and its time to play, my second love and all consuming activities are Fishing, Cooking, Old Rock n Roll Vinyl Records, Playing Electric Guitar, Romancing my Wife and Playing with my son James Dylan.
I have quite a collection of pets. Three Fish Tanks, a Bonsai Dog, 2 Tarantulas, Bantam Chickens and am looking at getting a Staffie soon.
I fish at the local spots around Margate and at a few recently discovered secret spots.
I am pretty old-school and traditional when it comes to fishing and am lovingly perfecting the art of drift bait and top-bung methods.
To finish off the introduction, I also have another great love and that is entertaining and cooking for my family and friends.
I worked in the hospitality for many years as a waiter, barman, restaurant manager, industrial catering manager and chef.
When my ship comes in, I am most definitely going to open a small restaurant.
Only when I don’t need the money and can enjoy the day-to-day operations – without the usual pressures.
I hope that you enjoy my blog and that you find some useful information and entertaining articles.
Please feel free to ask me anything and make any suggestions or requests.
If you enjoy this blog, please bookmark and share so that I can grow up big and strong !!
Also …. PLEASE, PLEASE, comment on the articles and please come back to see what’s new.
Most of all, have fun and stay in touch.
Cheers for now !!
Your Friend

Hi Shane,
Just want to say that I love your blog…awesome job!! I came across it doing a search for Madiba’s birthday this morning and am enchanted. My blog has developed slowly the DIY way, but I shall definitely approach you for help when I need to upgrade it, if that’s an option?
Have a stunning day at the coast & please wave at the sea 4 me

Hi Naomi… Thanks so much and I just waved at the waves for you …lol
Whats your blog address, I would love to follow it.
If you want to succeed online, you have to keep on trying. I run almost 30 websites, including a few official mobi sites for movies and its ultimately about not chasing what you think people will like. There are enough of those sites, the trick is to do what you like and what you enjoy and providing original content and personal insight.
There are enough people in the world for the law of averages to bless you with an audience. With wonderful technology like Google, we can find anything which interests us.
With all sincerity, I suggest that you view this page and watch the video. Its free and its the single most important thing that anybody has ever taught me about social media. It was the WOW moment that transformed the way that I think about this stuff
Pery Belcher is a Guru and the way that he explains how the social matrix works is a university degree in 10 minutes. Its also reduced to a one page map that you will never forget.

Thanks again and have a great day !!
Thanks a million, Shane, this is brilliant stuff!!
My blog is http://www.naomiestment.wordpress.com, featuring wildlife photography ,amongst other things.
Do you know how to add an option here for visitors to be alerted of further comments? Just thinking it would be a good feature to add on my blog too…
Thx again & have an awesome day!
Naomi
Hi Naomi, Your blog is beautiful, such stunning photos. I would like to do an article on it. I will give you a shout when its done and maybe you can share some of those awesome photographs.
I am going to look nto the comment notify function, it should not be too hard to build.
Later – Shane
Ok, I installed a notification function. Have not tested though. Look at the bottom of the comments for the subscription option.
It seems to be working fine. Thanks for the idea.
Perfect, thx, Shane, u’re good at this web stuff!
It would be awesome if u do an article on our blog, thank u! I’ll chat to Dave about pics…let us know which ones u like. We’re going to submit a couple to http://www.savenues.com too – great site, if you haven’t seen it yet?
Take care over there,
Naomi
