After much research before updating my website the decision was made to install Joomla for my static site and also Wordpress for the blog section.

Joomla is a great improvement on the old Mambo system and is easy to use once you understand how the modules, plug-ins and templates work together.

Wordpress however is even more user friendly and not just a blog. Many of the extensions available for Joomla also have a Wordpress version. The ‘widgets way’ of positioning content on your webpage is so much easier than trying to work out where the module positions are in a Joomla template.

And finally, the Wordpress Blog pages give me a higher Google Ranking than my static site due to the tags inserted into each post.

I rest my case!

Dave and Stuart presenting cheque to Bjorn at JKs, Coin, Malaga.

It was a huge pleasure and a humbling experience to meet Bjorn Heidenstrom, former Norwegian International and first division football player who is cycling from Norway to South Africa collecting signed football shirts, and raising awareness for the world’s 45 million refugees.

We crossed paths at JKs in Coín last Saturday night when we were both hypnotised by the fabulous Stuart Ashing and took part in a charity night to raise awareness for the cause, hosted by the guys from Ace FM radio.

Bjorn has been cycling for six months already, and certainly lives up the nickname “Crazy Norwegian”. A big man in all respects: stature, personality and in heart he is currently planning his route to Egypt before cycling to Cape Town via Sudan, Kenya, Tanzania, and the Southern African countries. Bjorn is hoping to be in Johannesburg in May. Then he and some volunteers will stitch all of the shirts collected together into a single large flag that FIFA and the South African Football Association have agreed will be flown at the opening game of the Soccer World Cup in June 2010.

This involved developing the existing corporate identity and website content structure into a totally new format.

Graphic design elements are all updated along with a functional, easy to use navigation system.

The website also includes a new members area where you can view the whole publication online.
