  • Allow site visitors to easily get in touch with her.
  • Include her social networking areas (Facebook and Twitter).
  • Display related content on various photo shoots to increase user activity on the website.
  • Create a control for each photo shoot that allows for the mention of each Service Provider, eg. Make-up, Flowers, Cake, etc.
  • Provide social bookmarking tools to all visitors to share the site content with their friends on sites such as Facebook, Twitter, StumbleUpon, FriendFeed and others, to increase the awareness of the website.

Free Desktop Calendar Wallpaper: January 2010

After the popularity of our other free downloads from The Forge – the latest being Organic – A free premium Wordpress theme, we’ve decided to release a regular free desktop calendar wallpaper every month.

So without further ado, here is the wallpaper for January (apologies for it being a little late).

(1024×768) (1280—800) (1440—900) (1680—1050) (1920—1200) iPhone

As a point of interest, this photograph was taken from The Forge headquarters (we are extremely thankful to have a pool during hot Cape Town summers). And what we aim to do as a wallpaper theme for this year, is to whenever possible make the wallpapers reflect an aspect of The Forge environment.
