Could your website be 'Employee of the Month'?
Wayne Marsh, Guest Writer
Good employees are a company's best asset; they help the business profit through their diligence, commitment, and expertise.
Most business owners realise the correlation between winning employees and a successful business, and spend a great deal of time, effort, and money to recruit and retain the best to staff their company.
But, what about their website? Many business owners don't recognise the similarities between high-performance employees and high-performance websites.
If you compare the two, you'll see how similar they really are, and from there, you can take steps to help your business' website become your 'employee of the month'.

Planning on visiting the Dunn’s River waterfalls. Here are a few tips and hints that will help make your visit enjoyable.
Set aside a whole day for Dunn’s River Fall. Climbing the falls can drain you physically.
If you are with a group get a guide.
The guide can help you climb up the falls and take some great pictures.
Bring water shoes. Aqua socks work the best they had great traction.
You can rent them on location. Water shoes are especially important if you are with a group, as you will be holding hands. This means while you are climbing you are holding hands with one or two people.
This makes it difficult to use your hands.

The attempt to change the character of James Bond as we know it was a shot in the arm.
Here is a list of things I love about the past James Bond:
1. He never has a problem getting the ladies
2. The love scenes are captivating
3.
James Bond never falls in love in such a way that it distorts his judgment
4. Gadgets on his car and on his person are way before his time
5. Smooth verbal communication

Tradition holds that at the beginning of a meal, diners should wait until the host puts the napkin on his/her lap then others follow.
Nowadays, this applies on formal occasions, when you take your cue from the host. But, be it cloth or paper, your napkin goes on to your lap as soon as you are seated. On formal occasion the waiter usually assists.
Do not tuck a napkin into your collar, between the buttons of your shirt or blouse or in your belt. Don't snap it open with a showing jerk of the wrist.
Use a napkin frequently to blot or pat, do not wipe you lips.
It is a good idea, ladies, to blot lips especially if you are wearing lipstick, before taking a drink to avoid lipstick stains on the rims of the glass.
It has come down to two!
