Web hosting and designBoth websites have now transferred to a new web host. The system they use was chosen as it gives me more freedom to change and update functions myself. I am still learning about what I can do with Sitewalk, E-Commerce, Marketing and 101 other things I can do to improve these websites. Being over here in Cape Verde means that I can make these changes myself without waiting for someone else to do them, and charging me for it. Don't get me wrong, I still have to pay a monthly fee for using the system but I manage it. There are also online tutorials and a help centre. You can also buy a basic website for around £149. This will be built for you. There are more options available. Take a look at it yourself: www.eclipseonlinesolutions.com |

The British Ambassador to Cape Verde, Mr.Christoher Trott visited Cape Verde in October. The British Embassy for Cape Verde is in Dakar, Senegal. The British Ambassador flew over from Dakar to attend a conference in Praia. The Ambassador & Mr. Antonio Canuto, the British Honorary Consul who is based on Sao Vicente went on to visit Boavista & Sal were they met with Government representatives.
Mr. Trott & Mr. Canuto also took the opportunity to meet with some British expats on Sal, who were keen to raise a number of queries on behalf of the British expat community. All British expats were invited to meet the Ambassador & the Hon.Consul for cocktails after the meeting. Photos taken on the evening are included in the Picasa Photo Albums in the Photo Gallery.
Notes of the meeting with both of these British representatives and British Expats can be found under 'General Info' and within the 'Moving to Sal' section....'British Government & Embassy'
