Botox for blogs

I've been struggling for some time to get my blog looking exactly how I wanted it to (I'm computer literate I promise) but the technology proved elusive and tricky to master. Cue entry of the blog whisperer. My good friend Buhle Bonga Mbonambi offered his services to revamp my flailing blog.

I eagerly snapped up the offer on the table. look at our email conversation below.

LMAO... we want you to get readers onto your blog missy! So it must look hawt. Oh and you needs to add it to your news thingy on Snaptu



I logged on first thing this morning to check if he walked the the talk and I am in love with my new blog...like it had a face lift, same girl only prettier! I recommend his services highly and beyond that he's an amazing journalist, a great friend and who knew he's the blog whisperer too!

New day

So yesterday I set up the first of what will probably be many blogs, and I'm still feeling my way around. The reason this will probably be more successful than keeping a diary is because it's available for all sorts of stalkers and admirers alike to see into my mind. I think I'm a closet exhibitionist, wait, before you judge that makes you a voyeur!

Anyway so I made a decision today to have no contact with negative people this whole week (it's not you it's me). I want to be in charge of my smiles and my tears. I'm not watching the news, I'm not answering calls from :( people. I'm doing me. If this is a successful exercise all you :( people will probably never hear from me again...seriously it's not you it's me.
