iBlog.co.za – Free WordPress blog South Africa

Hi Rafiq,

Saw your interview on whiteafrican.com- nice!

Am just dropping you a line to see how things are going. And to ask, if you have a spare moment, to check out the newly redesigned and developed iblog.co.za. I notice that the k53 blog hasn’t been updated in a while and was wondering whether that’s anything to do with a problem in the new system?

iBlog now has almost 4,000 members and is about to turn 1 on the 1st of March! It’s been a big year!

Anyways, hope you’re keeping well,

Mark

WordPress IS by far superior. Why the big media boys in South Africa have rolled their own inferioir bogging platforms heaven only knows. Web Developers in South Africa are very very hard to come by, their time could have been much better spent doing anything else than re-inventing the blogging wheel.

ITweb’s blogit *blegh*

24’s johnny number 5 rip-off *blegh*

Along comes the 2-man team and brings us the WordPress powered iblog.co.za 😀

It’s true, Innovation is shaped by constraints.

Take the cost of time wasted by your developers, the adspend behind marketing & those gimmicks to entice people to use your sub-*wordpress*standard platfroms add the cost in acquiring iblog.co.za and you’ll be sitting with a huuuge amount. *before you shout or swear* let me rephrase that. WordPress is better *period*

If you want to play around with blogging and are looking for the best free blogging platfrom is South Africa head on over to iblog.co.za and make your day.

Yes bogging Jo, not blogging. Honesty is the best policy.

Hi Rafiq… thanks for the kind words!
We figured, if WordPress is good enough for half the blogging population of the entire world, it’s certainly good enough to be used as a blogging platform for iblog!

Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the system is really busy at the moment or that the database server is down (which is unlikely!).
Please bear with us- the problem will be resolved as soon as possible!

Yep, iblog/wordpress (?) is a real powerful platform!
But what do I know?

the reason they are creating a new blogging platform is because the developers seem obsessed with big investor acquisitions, i.e. making a large amount of cash by selling the system once its done. Each to their own. But I agree, that energy could be spent on much better ventures than ‘re-inventing the blogging wheel’.

Oh and they will need to really innovate if they want to get noticed above Joomla and WordPress!
