Woke up this morning and saw that WordPress 2.7 stable release is available for download. I didn’t follow up during the development stage. Just by looking at the video below, one word in conclusion - SEXY!
It’s beautiful, fast and flexible! The best thing is - version 2.7 allows you to upgrade your WordPress blog with the one-click-upgrade feature, like what you have been doing while upgrading plugins in the previous version.
I’m going to upgrade all my blogs to WordPress 2.7 now.
It’s only 18 days before Christmas. Are you in the Christmas mood already? The streets is full of Christmas decoration. You can also setup the Christmas atmosphere in your blog!
This is a very simple plugin for all WordPress blogs! Unlike the traditional Javascript snowflake , all you need to do is:
A lot of people think that starting a blog can earn money easily and almost immediately. This is a wrong mindset. Earning money through blogs is not as easy as it seems. A lot of studies, consideration as well as effort is needed before you can successfully make your first buck online. Nowadays, you can find a lot of money-making blogs which actually “teach” you how to make money online. Most people will be disappointed of the results as they are comparing themselves to the money-making blog authors.
First thing first, if your objective for starting a blog is to make money online, it’s gonna be very tough and probably might fail in the end. This is also a very common advice from almost every problogger or bloggers who make money online. [...more]
It seems that my schedule is a bit tight lately. My last update was on the 5th. I should have spent a little more time on weekends to do some scheduled posts.
Here is a list of suggestion from Raivyn, author of IGTB.
Moving the list of recent posts up above the tag cloud and perhaps even above the categories.
The AdSense block could be designed better - matching it to the page (white background and border, blue links, grey/black text) and moving it up a bit (move tag cloud below ad block).
Tutorials that are a little more ‘meaty’, and expand on some of what has already been presented.
I tried to improve this blog’s visibility base on the suggestion above and I think it turns out even better and more clean and neat comparing to the previous setting. (Thanks, Raivyn!) And for the content improvement part, I will have to spend more time reading and of course, to spend time writing them.

Have you heard about 9rules? It’s a blog community which contains quality blogs. Bet it controls the quality better than other blog communities like MyBlogLog or BlogCatalog. The admins of 9rules will manually review blogs and approve blogs to be listed in the 9rules community.
Nice slogan, eh? However, 9rules do not open for submission all the time. Hence, I call it the “Big day” for bloggers who wish to submit their blogs to the 9rules community.
If you want to join 9rules, remember that it only open for submssion at certain time. Now is the last chance for you to submit your blog in this year. If you miss out this day, you’ll have to wait for the next round, probably next year.
9rules do not accept submissions outside of the 24 hour submission period.
Once the submission period closes, 9rules do not accept submissions. The submission period opens at midnight Eastern Standard Time on 5th November 2008.
Are you in the different time zone? Check out the actual date in your country with Time Zone Converter.
For those in Malaysia, the submission period will start from 1pm of 5th November 2008. I’m going to try submit Blogging For Novice to 9rules and lets hope it got approved.
