Please get that out of the way and come back, thanks!

Great! 

Now as promised, I won't take too much of your time today, but I captured some of the latest developments here in Jamaica, in addition to some recent changes/enhancements to the site I'd like you to note.

So without any further delay, lets go..

And, as usual, I'll start with a
nother fun Did You Know for today:
Did You Know?

    I hope you find it value-added in your decision making.


  3. Facebook Comments & Page Sharing
I did a little tweaking, hopefully you like it..

I basically placed the "Facebook Comments" feature just below each page on the site.

And a little further below is the Social Sharing button.

The basic idea is that it enhances your reading experience (seeing other persons' comments) as well as allowing you the option to share the article/page with your friends on social media - instantly!

Here's an example at the bottom of this page.


 
And by the way, I continue to share the latest via a special mail out, but if you ever miss that (or if you choose not to wait), feel free to come directly to the blog!
