How to Rank High on Google (NOT)

I recently spent some interesting time with the owner of a large local Port Elizabeth web site discussing how to get her site to perform well against the millions of others out there.

Allow MyPE to Boast and Thank a Number of Twittering People

One of my ‘aberrations’ is the semi-active MyPE Twitter account – it is less time consuming than the other social networks and suits my “say it quickly, get to the bottom line now” type of personality.

Isn’t Purple reserved for Tinky Winky?

The annual Spar Ladies race took place on 5 May 2012. A tradition of the fun race is that men may take part only if they look the part. Of course this offers a great opportunity for one like myself to showcase this “aberration” or “predilection” that certain men have for making themselves pretty. Only [...]

Clear picture needed of provincial finances

A chaotic picture of the Eastern Cape’s finances is being painted in the media with contradictory reports surrounding the true state of the province’s finances. Treasury is reported as saying the Department of Health could be R2,5 billion in deficit while the department claims it has different figures. If the Health and Education departments continue [...]
