I can finally reveal the project that has been keeping me up at night, keeping me at work late and keeping me super busy. We’ve just completed the new Cape Town Tourism website.

It’s beautiful and huge, and packed with content almost all of which went through my spreadsheets at one point or another, as I’ve been managing the flow and uploading of content, and I also wrote quite a bit.

It boasts an itinerary functionality and a creative commons flickr feed which are quite exciting and innovative (particularly in terms of South African websites).

Obviously I welcome feedback, but be gentle with me – it’s been 5 hectic weeks and I’m still suffering from the post-production-“labour pains”.

I’ve been blogging for about two years, probably longer now, at another address. That blog started as a travel and personal blog, a place that was all mine. It was visited by outsiders sometimes, but mostly by people who knew and cared for me and were prepared to read my rambling posts about the weather in the UK and the latest awful temp job I was working.

After a while, because I was interacting with other bloggers, I got a small but respectable readership. This, of course, happened just in time for me to get settled enough to stop being so angsty, which consequently led to far less posting. Updates there became erratic and scarce when I finally returned to SA in Dec 2007.

That blog has served it’s purpose, but now I want a space to write about other things, without being tied into the legacy that blog represents. This is my new space, one for talk of new things.

I am not pre-defining these things just yet. And I’m not promising to be a good girl and blog regularly; I work far too hard in the real world for that. All I can say is that the blog will be what it will be, which probably isnt much and I wouldnt swop you a Coke Zero for it in a barter economy
