Joomla 1.7

They hate it? I love it! I am currently developing a site with this you can check here. For beginners you get a bit lost out there because everything is so flexible you can put articles where you wan and create categories the way you want and display menus and articles just the way you want... But what if you just don't know the right way to display things?

Well you have to know a bit of web content management if you want something clear and nice for your visitors to understand. But it is definitely a good CMS.

DRUPAL 7 has no secret

The best version as they say, and it has a lot to show I tell you. I have never been a Drupal fan but I have to surrender to the genie of the Drupal community developers. BIG APPLAUSE ! Truthfully.

I have worked on e-commerce solutions and standard drupal CMS and the very best of drupal is all in the blocks content.

This allows you to decide where your content has to be shown, and the menu are also very flexible. a bit like joomla.
My last project is still incomplete but just so you can get the chance to follow the evolution of a website with drupal.

The latest E-Marketing Predicted trends and analysis

The article from emarketings.org is really interesting in terms of prediction. As I analyse the movement of strategies and relationships in terms of marketing I understand that businesses have finally understood that it is the consumers thought that counts and not the product in itself. remeber whenn we talked about "people buy what you think not what you do"?

Consumers have reached a phase where manipulation is just so obvious to them, as they understand more and more where you wanna get to have them buy your product, that they understand they can also make businesses change their minds about their products.
And as businesses understand it is their advantage to sell what the consumers want, they change the type of relationship from a one way communication to a two way communication...

The best marketing lesson comes from APPLE inc.

This is a video of Ted demonstrating how it is true that "people don't buy what you do they buy what you believe!". The best lesson in terms of marketing that I have ever heard. So true. the key to success is not money and the right person and the right ideas. It is all about making people dream, believe in what you believe and therefore make them buy what you do. Martin luther King Didn't give the "I have a dream speach" rather the "I have a plan speach".

Watch TED's video

Working Solo

Working solo has couple of advantages. One of them is managing your time like you fell it.

Of course this requires a good discipline. However, it enables you to do more research so as to find ideas and give quality services to your clients.

I remember being a employee and working through the routine each day, I hardly had time to build more capacities and improve myself. I used to work from Monday to Saturday and we did not have any training program internally.

Anyway, have a bite at this article about being efficient as a freelance worker. With Simon Stapleton advices you can make your clients say "Wow!".

It's been a long time...

Hi Friends, first I apologize I haven't been a good bloggirl the last few months, well much work and so many new things in my life... Anyway. We've launched the second version of the microfinance portail in Senegal and we are working on Nigeria's and Burkina Faso's hoping they will be set soon. Take a look at the changements. Well you won't be able to compare this with the old one but anyway we've manage to have sommething colorful and alway s up to date. The main thing in web content management is to have updated information at least twice or thrice a week to keep your regular visitors coming and grap some new visitor's interest. So, take a tour on the project I've been working on for more than a year now :

Portail Microfinance and SENEGAL

what we've introduced here are the RSS feeds for people to put on their sites on personal page to keep uptodate with the information on the sector, we've managed to add some more mirofinance actors and to organized the profiles in a clearer structure by splitting old sections... Well you see it for yourself. I'm showing the website tomorow morning to the General Direction for the Decentralized Cooperation's representative From Belgium and in two more weeks to a group of investors in microfinance at the ministery. Wish me luck! Bineta TOURE

new horizons

I'm back! Hello bloggers and sorry for being absent such a long time (nearly two months). But I have been really busy and got lots of things to tell you about :

first of all the NGO where I was doing my training proposed me a job. Neat? yep, the problem? well someone else came up with a more interesting job long before i had finished my traing.
The kind of work is more of a communication and marketing work on the Internet. I should be working on-line and also off-line from time to time. The idea is more to hold the company's communication tools like it's websites, and to make a big noise on the web so to tell everyone that it's the best thing on earth. Well it will be pretty different from what I was doing back at the NGO but I trust I will learn new things from working daily with the Linux plateform and creating ads for the web, finding new promotion strategies ...and maybe more.
I will have to work in both english and french, and I'm supposed to begin next month. Now how about that?

See, told you I had been busy. Well I also presented my training and that went fine too, the jury was quite satisfied with my work and congratulated me on it. I got that on tape for my family back home. One of the members in the jury gongratulated me on the presentation, saying it was clear, that the work I did with the website for the cause of the development in poor countries was interesting and had never been made ... Well at least that's the meaning I caught from all the things that had been said.. The assistance had no questions and everyone got caught in the topic.

To conclude tonight, I should be back in Senegal in less than 10 days and will be discovering new horizons from the web industry.. I have couple of projects I may share with you later on.Take care
B.T.

It's part of a global thing that should soon host all the microfinance portals of the west African Union...
For the Launching we organized, in cooperation with the Ministry of Microfinance & CO. a conference to present the website and declare official the year of the Microcredit in Senegal.

It was a big occasion to proove to the Central BANK that the money was handled properly and efficiently.
Well, it's all good
