Subject: My Plight !!!
I’m writing this with tears in my eyes,my family and I came down here to North Wales, United Kingdom for a short vacation. unfortunately,we were  mugged at the park of the hotel where we stayed,all cash and credit card were stolen off us but luckily for us we still have our passports with us.

We’ve been to the Embassy and the Police here but they’re not helping issues at all and our flight leaves in few hours from now but we’re having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won’t let us leave until we settle the bills. Well I really need your financial assistance..Please, Let me know if you can help us out?

Am freaked out at the moment!!

WOW  – Can you believe this??? So, those of you who know me, know that that IS my email address and MY signature. They accessed it through my Facebook account and got my gmail account and passwords and proceeded to steal my ENTIRE address book and send this mail out. I am NOT in Wales, I DID NOT get mugged. I apologize for the alarming email, simply delete the message. Everybody, take 5 minutes, change your passwords and make them a little more difficult to guess. Lessons learned. : (

My new website was so much fun to put together and I am anxious to get your feedback as to whether you like it or not…  Soooo?  Whataya think?

I was going for clean, simple, elegant…

This site was a long time in coming because, as you know, I spend all of my waking moments making beautiful custom websites for other people and not for myself, go figure!

But, I thought it was high time that I finally get the word out about my business to more people, other than only the referrals that I receive, and branch out a little… so here you go.

I’ll just say it right here that you have been forewarned that I intend to make this blog a place for web design news and trends, as well as the occassional rant, so reader beware, lol, sometimes you never know what’ll come out of my mouth/mouse…

Well, that’s it for my “virgin” post… give me a holler just to say “hi”, I would love to connect with my readers personally.  And don’t forget to subscribe down below to the right and you can check out my Facebook, YouTube and Twitter pages there as well.

Until next time,
