Hi Julian - thanks for the response!! My client requested a second site (main2.com) as a duplicate store mainly to separate global sales from local sales - which is a South African store) and given the rand dollar exchange rates plus the fact that PayPal does not work with the ZAR currency - hence the split. So in that case I really am dealing with a separate site Regarding reporting - ?! The main site contains the blog (main.com) and its sub domain is the za shop (shop.main.com)

Great article! A lot to absorb - as marketers we do have to start thinking like architects/scientists/detectives. *saves to pocket*

Can't wait!!! I've enrolled at Udacity (Computer Science 101: python), codecademy, Xcelme, etc.. Because I know the buck stops with me. I'd given up ages ago trying to connect with the knowledgable ones in this town to get moving forward with my ideas, and decided I had to learn stuff myself. I've already learned a valuable thing just reading the notes to the intro video - that I don't have to be an expert coder, but should know enough to cobble something that resembles a working prototype. MVP. I can do that. "I'm not very clever, but I can pick up heavy stuff" - understanding code and syntax of each language can be heavy, but I can pick it up, even if it takes longer than anticipated. Hell, I've learned to jump from copywriter to coding HTML, CSS and add a few JQuery hacks... Teach me. Please. And thank you.

via twitter RE South African internet usage

@antonyadelaar @Lioneldp Nah, it's more. Weekly access: about 3 million according to AMPS.. Yeah, we're pushing about 10% of the adult population with weekly usage. Can probably get more accurate numbers tho..

Agree with tweets not making the search engine - I retweeted my heart out and never once showed up in the #iranelection search stream.

Great article.

LOL. I understand your Qs and am trying to sidestep quoting from anything... The Lord is God. The Lord is one. Also Hashem (God) created man "after OUR own image" - so the understanding of a being that is strangely more than one is not just a christian view, but a Torah view also. Think "body, mind, spirit" and you can see where I'm going - one body with 3 parts. Also, both christian and jew view God in a more personal light therefore "Father" rather than just "God". With regards to the christian/jew issue, the waters do muddy a bit - but here's an insight not often considered or discussed very often. There are 2 different churches (not referring to denominations - there are way too many) - two - the Roman Catholic which historically condemned the jew and systematically broke down the original jewish connection, and then there's the other which recognises that Jesus did not come destroy what the jewish people had been given by God, but to fulfill it's meaning and increase it's reach from a minority to the majority. There's a rapidly growing understanding of jewish tradition among christians all over the world today - check out Perry Stone's page for example. As to why Jesus had to die, is not a question I can answer without quoting. So I won't. Because I respect your wishes. So let me try another tack - think of it as a legal issue. Bear with me. If God is perfect, and just, and righteous, and the embodiment of truth, then you can understand why he could not tolerate imperfection of any sort, nor anything that smacks of injustice, unrighteousness or untruth. Think opposing magnetic forces. If one were to consider that (cutting a lot of detail out) because man in general is less than perfect, it is impossible to get close to God. Some call it sin. Others call it human nature. Either way, you can see the problem that man has in communicating with God directly. But if God could bypass His own decree that "the wages of sin is death" by offering a redemption, by defeating death, then man now has a way of perfection through substitition - a messiah. It's not the greatest explanation, I know, but I had fun trying.
