About Rob Cooke & the Boy at Heart
My name is Rob Cooke and I am a musician, songwriter, recording artist and producer. I also enjoy creating and publishing websites, like this one. I changed my life in a big way a couple of years ago and went from being stressed, cynical and unfulfilled to feeling none of those things, totally fulfilled, free and most importantly, happy!
A more detailed account can be read by following the Boy at Heart Story, but this is not all about me. What I have learned about myself over the last few years and how I have changed my life for the better I intend to share, so it may provide some inspiration for you to get more out of your life.
I have experienced enough to provide me with real evidence that the notion of following your heart actually works as a genuine approach to life. On all the occasions that I have been following my heart or my intuition the results have been fantastic compared to following what logic and reason tell me.
If any of this sounds good to you then I encourage you to introduce yourself, become familiar with me and my music and share your own story. I'm here to make sure that this website is actually worth you visiting, which means you getting something out of it.
If you sign up as a VIP, you'll be able to start right away at creating your dream life with the free material I provide.
Make yourself at home!

Getting Around in Style
I really want your experience of this website to be out of this world and to make sure you are really clear about how to find what you want, here is a little crib sheet!
The Top
This box you are reading now contains the basic introductory details to make you feel at home quickly, so you can get on to exploring all the content. You will find links to the main areas of the site at the very top and the icons on the far right of the top area are where you can find me on Twitter, Facebook (page) and Youtube. You can also subscribe to RSS updates (recommended) by clicking on the very stylish guitar pick icon!
Right-Hand Side
At the top is the multimedia section, where you will find videos, music players and photos depending on the nature of the page content you are viewing. There is also a very nifty little subscription form to become a VIP member! (hint hint).
Underneath that is a box with tab navigation containing dynamic content, like recent comments, posts, popular posts and tweets from my twitter stream.
Links to various pages and select articles within the site are located within the inner sidebar, whilst the far-right sidebar contains external links to sites & people I know and/or respect, adverts & recommendations for what I believe are valuable resources, including ads for my own products.
Outside of the page area on the right is a suggestion form that you can fill in anonymously if you are tired of creating another new profile somewhere. I am relying on you to give me some quality feedback so I can ensure that you get the very best out of me in every area.
Main Column
That's the wide area below this tab box. It contains the main bulk of the content, mainly text, but depending on the page, it may display a video, a music player or photos. With each post you will notice that there are several opportunities to bookmark, tweet and generally share the content if you feel inspired to do so and you can leave comments! (another hint).
Bottom Area
The columns at the bottom contain (from left to right) live feeds of some of my other blog content on the web, links to other sites in my network (I'm a very busy boy at heart you know!) and a tag cloud for one-click searching of posts by popular tag. Then there is the toolbar at the very bottom, which provides a level of interactivity that I had only dreamed about until I discovered it. You can access my tweet stream, make a tweet, join my Facebook page as a fan, receive real time site announcements, access site content and even hide it if it gets in your way!
The footer is completed with a little link to my new favourite Wordpress Premium theme Thesis, which I built this site design on.
If you think I may have left out any information that will help others find their way around the site, please let me know and I will take action on that and one more reminder. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE as a VIP MEMBER!
