2.  SABC

The home page of SABC it’s a full package, everything is provided all the sections from your sports finance and weather. It managed to keep in touch with the usual SABC look that the users know, but very boring. Nothing is eye catching; the design is very traditional and not inspiring. They is a lack of the usage of multimedia, of which is important in this technological world we live in, people want to see actions after reading.

Users can listen to listen to radio while browsing through the website which makes it very interesting (http://www.sabc.co.za/news/f1/311e90004e9c547bb7fdff7da4cd6ad7/Tuesday:-Safm1pm-20130219), and watch TV on the website at any time you wish to (http://www.sabc.co.za/news/f1/3419a7804e8fd70185d5ff7da4cd6ad7/A-sad-day-for-the-Steenkamp-family-20130219).

3.  News24

Probably one the best Online News website in the world with a very simple but yet clear homepage.  The navigation system is very effective; the user can navigate to any section of their choice. Their sections are very broad, with language options and broad as a magazine.

With a call to action area option where users can communicate and interact with each other, like the search engine, where they can search for what they want  and they can purplish , upload their videos or photos and articles . With features like

v  Blogs http://blogs.24.com/

v  Games http://www.mweb.co.za/games/Home.aspx?ref=news24bucket

The incorporation of the links is the best thing in this website, you can navigate to any link and it’s very fast.

Multimedia options excellent, you can view the latest video and pictures very fast. But the design is very dual, which makes it look like there’s too much going on, on the site.

LIFE.........

LIFE.........

Complicated was, still is life, with no direction to what next, the future so unpredictable, a story so hard to tell, words so hard to spell. Back and forward seems to be same no were to go and hope is lost, so hard to express while the silence do the talking. Judged every time by what you said the dress you wore yesterday and today.

Knocked down every time you try to rise; everything is once upon a time, mind scatted down can’t focus let alone concentrate yet no one seems to understand. It seems to be hard every day with everyone on your case reminding you of what you where before, every time you close your eyes tears run down your face love is lost; it feels like crime you never committed, a life sentence.

Is it a question of love or life, getting harder than it is every hour, things getting so hard to understand? Out of control while felling nothing hoping things will get better one day, wondering whether is too late to dream again, not knowing what the truth is about life, what’s real and what’s not. Walking away was once an option then what now as doors are shattered in your face. 

There is no life at all, wished to be raise up when you feel let down and during the troubles of life, trying to hide the pain with a smile all day long. Lost the best thing the question to your life, feeling left alone in this life, wishing if there is anyone there to rescue you, while people think that they know the best in you.

Your life your love your all “, you got to get back up when people push you down as the is no mistake too great to recover and bounce back”, TI.

skirting winter

With style and class.

Not many, prefer a skirt in winter, preference goes to pants the excuse being it's cold, I certainly can't wear pants everyday it's too much. It's winter yes, we dress for warmth  but let it be with style and class to enjoy it, add the feminist side by wearing a skirt be it short , medium or long. Explore with different colours, pattens etc.

Long skirt
Maxi skirt is the in thing now

that you can but the belt on the waist, layer the look with a blazer prefebly flat shoes.
Medium skirt
Medium skirts, they are here to stay

A tight skirt will do, it must be below the knee, as it's winter wear some stockings with abit of leather and lower heels.
Short skirt
Scatter skirt style will do

scatter skirt, stand out, for warmth wear stockings and go high( high-sky heels).
yo done .....

Style cannot be bought

Money can't buy style, it is created by you and your understanding of fashion.

Wearing big name does not mean you are stylish, you don't have to wear labels from head to toe to be stylish, like they say style cannot be bought. Fashion is all about recycling trends, mix old stuff with new stuff, mix and matching items. Even if it means going through your oldies closet to find some item to add to your look be it girl.
Most people think that wearing the latest fashion is being stylish, well let me correct you, fashion fades while style remain. I's all about finding style that suits you and your personality and your body and mixing the latest fashion with what you already have.

In fashion copy and paste does not work, just because Bonang is wearing a nimi does not mean you can copy that and wear a mini too, she's unique just like you and I we have different taste and personalities. Find what suits you and look good on you not what look good on her, be creative there are no rules in fashion, just don't over do it.
Fashion does not die, it fades but style will remain and keep on coming back.
