From the WEPA Cabarete website:

WEPA stands for: Wind Energy Playa Ambience, all the things that make Cabarete what it is today!

WEPA is a showcase of Cabarete’s uniqueness and a fund raiser, to enable young talented local athletes stars to participate in competitions around the world and promote Cabarete there.

Registration is open to all. It is only US$ 150 to have access to everything throughout the week!

Amongst other new features, the website now features my automated file and database back up service which copies your entire WordPress file system (site admin and content) and database weekly, and saves the 10 most recent copies so we can go back in time if we really need to find something specific.

Having trouble managing your website or updating content? You need to contact me and we’ll have those changes made and online as quickly as possible!

Do you want an automated back up made of your site every week? Speak to me now!

Based on WordPress, as usual, you’re able to view each property in a nifty slideshow and contact the owner to view or rent. Easy to update, search engine optimised and Facebook ready.

Visit them now for accommodation in Cabarete or Sosua.

Ready or not, here it comes! Starting tomorrow, March 30 – 2012, all Facebook pages will be converted to the timeline layout.

There are several factors to consider when you move to the new layout. The biggest feature is obviously the cover photo. Facebook has laid out several rules for this image, some of which are listed here:

(taken direct from Facebook’s page guidelines)

• Price or purchase information, such as “40% off” or “Download it on socialmusic.com”;
• Contact information such as a website address, email, mailing address, or information that should go in your Page’s “About” section;
• References to Facebook features or actions, such as “Like” or “Share” or an arrow pointing from the cover photo to any of these features; or
• Calls to action, such as “Get it now” or “Tell your friends.”

You will notice that the tabs or apps are now located under the cover image and by default, you can only see 3. Photos is fixed and cannot be moved so you need to carefully choose and arrange your apps to optimise your page. The apps now have a larger icon or image which can be used to your advantage and fully customise your page. Apps are now given 810px in width instead of only 520px – while odd at first, a huge advantage for a mini site and content.

Finally, the feature that gives this layout it’s name, Timeline, is set to serve you and your customers by giving a full history of your brand, product or service. You can back date, highlight (full width) or pin (fix to top for 7 days) any posts, images or videos.

If you need help in converting your page, contact me now!

You’ll see a familiar orange gradient for the app buttons, the larger logo to suit the square space and the 4 happy DREAM kids in the cover photo.
