Wahey! Welcome back ladies and gentlemen! It's really good to be home, after my break doing the World Cup blog. As I've told you plenty of times before, Day Dedication is back today, with a vengeance. We're bigger and better than ever, with people contributing, interactive multimedia, a fresh new look to the page, and also ways for all of you to get involved.
And with the rule changes, there will be a further few tweaks along the way. I can only Dedicate to people now, rather than feelings and attitudes, and this means that someone must have affected my day in some way or another. Which also means that there will be links to other websites about the said person,because they are bound to have featured in the news!
So enough wittering on. Let's get down to business! Now not many of you will recognise this man. You probably won't recognise his name either. But the first Dedicatee of the second era is a man called DANNY JORDAAN.
As you can see by the logo in the background, he is involved in the World Cup just gone in South Africa. in fact, he is the man who organised it. And their bid to host the competition in 2006. To be honest, he's a bit of a legend in his parts.
There's always an organiser, but there's never been a life changer before. This bloke created a legacy that will continue throughout the whole of Africa, not just in South Africa.
Now, for my selfless plug, as I probably will do seeing as I'm still in football mode. If you want to know any more info about the World Cup, or want to see my take on it all, go visit World Cup Wonder.
Right, now it's your turn. Tweet about this blog, email us, message us directly, comment on a post, rate one with the small stars below, or just post it across the web. The success of the blog so far has been down to you, so let's make it better. Your comments will be posted onto a new page once they're made, so everyone can see them for the rest of time.
Oh, and news came to us yesterday that this man now wants to bring the Olympics to South Africa. Talk about loving his job.
DANNY JORDAAN, you are the Day Dedicatee for Monday 12th July 2010.
