Strange Letter in the Mail

Rohan November 29th, 2007

In case anyone receives a similar letter relating to their own domain name(s), I thought I’d pass on the information I have discovered about a strange letter from foreign shores that I received in the mail yesterday.
A quick investigation reveals that I’m not the only one to receive this same correspondence (it’s even been reported by someone on home soil).
As per the actions taken by those I’ve linked to here, I urge anyone reading this who has also received a similar letter to do likewise and disregard it as either misguided marketing or some sort of internet scam.

It lives!

It’s been more than a year since I first experimented with starting a blog, and after an initial burst of enthusiasm, these pages have lain dormant… I think the search for the “perfect theme” (I wanted the blog/website combination to be branded exactly the same, or as closely as possible) became all too much of a hassle. So I moved on to more urgent matters that required my attention at the time.

Well, I’m back… with some more advanced ideas for a redesign of my main site, which will encompass:

  • all my work stuff, covering everything on my current site;
  • pages advertising my hosting and domain registration services;
  • a custom built CRM;
  • a secured section for clients to log in and view their projects as ‘works in progress’;
  • a link to my ’sister site’ targeting a specific niche market (don’t want to say too much now - all will be revealed in future posts);
  • this blog (recently updated to the latest version, currently v2.2);
  • a photo gallery.

The search is still on to pretty up the blog with a nice theme, but I’ve decided that this isn’t as critical as I was making it a year ago - in fact it is likely to chop and change a bit as I discover what this Wordpress software can and can’t do. In fact, the only requirement I have for the blog is that the banner image will change automatically, either on page refresh or after a given period of time (the reason being that I’d like to use photographs I take as banner images for the blog). This should be quite achievable, as I know there are scripts that will do what I’m after.

So, for now, it’s simply a case of start bloggin’ and worry about the details later. I have no precise timetable for when I’ll post; I guess it will depend on if/when I have something to say that I want to share with the world at large - could be hardly ever, could be every other day… I guess we’ll all just have to wait and see.
