The Best Web Hosting for Wordpress
It’s such a shame that many web hosting companies often disregard the specific hosting requirements of Wordpress users, despite the popularity of this open-source blogging platform. I have signed up with several web hosts and it’s quite frustrating to see that some Wordpress plugins aren’t working because some server configuration issues!
I used to host my websites in a local web hosting company because I didn’t have Paypal or a credit card back then and thus was unable to pay for the bigger web hosting companies. To my costernation, some plugins went bonkers because some server configurations were disabled (for security reasons?). Add to that was the fact that support was virtually non-existent and it looked like the company was run by a bunch of salesmen who knew nothing about Wordpress.
The Best Wordpress Plugins For Blogging Newbies
To say that Wordpress is the best open-source blogging platform is an understatement. Not only is Wordpress the best in the business, it is also vastly popular and extremely easy to set up even for complete blogging novices.
I know that there are countless of blog posts and articles sharing their lists of the top Wordpress plugins, but that won’t stop me from coming up with my own list. I recommend a few Wordpress plugins that have proven their worth and are in some way or another, beneficial to my various blogging activities.
Allow me to introduce to the whole blogosphere, the best Wordpress plugins for blogging newbies… Read the rest of this entry…
Iraqi Shoe Thrower Hogs the Headlines
Somebody should congratulate US President George W. Bush for his quick reflexes in ducking two shoes hurled at him during a press conference in Iraq.
The assailant, an Iraqi TV reporter named Muntadhar al-Zeidi, tried to hit Bush with his shoes, but missed on both occassions. Nobody was quite sure what triggered al-Zeidi (not to be confused with al-Qaeda), but reports said that disdain over the US occupation of Iraq prompted the journalist to fire the leather missiles.
Dissecting the Dream (Mis)Match: Pacquiao vs. De La Hoya
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
As controversial as the “Dream Match” between Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao is, even the most doubtful skeptics can’t help but hide their anticipation of what might be the year’s greatest sports spectacle not named the Olympics. After all, here’s one golden opportunity to see if it’s true that “a good big man beats up a good small man.”
Now, the quotation from the late Martin Luther King, Jr. might seem awkward when used in a sports article, but I think it’s relevant to both fighters. Pacquiao will defy the odds and the weighing scale to fight a much bigger and stronger man. On the other hand, De La Hoya will defy public opinion and make people realize that this fight is much more competitive than the mismatch some critics think it is. Whether or not Pacquiao or De La Hoya can overcome these challenges will have a telling effect on their respective careers and reputations.
Help Me Win the Wordpress Coolest Blog Competition!
I love contests. I join all types of contests, online and offline, ranging from essay writing to lotteries. No contest is too big nor too small for me, as long as it promises a significant reward that could be fame or fortune,or both.
So when I read that WP Webhost is organizing a contest for the Coolest Wordpress Blog, I decided to try my puny luck and hope that destiny will see it fit to reward my audacity. Imagine, I’ve just been blogging for less than a month, and now I’m competing for $2,000 worth of prizes that are enough to make my head spin. Sure, 2,000 bucks is chump change for my idol Bill Gates, but that might be enough for me to jumpstart my fledgling Internet career and make me a future billionaire. That is, if you cooperate with me.
Countdown to the …
I used to reserve countdowns to occasions that mean a lot of eating and pigging out, but the US Presidential Elections is such an important event that it deserves its own hallowed place in my countdown list. I don’t give a damn about the global financial crisis because all my bank accounts add up to a grand total of 39.27 Philippine Pesos. Oh, I forgot to mention that I have only one bank account.
The Lehman Brothers, Freddie Mac, Freddie Mae and all those odd-sounding financial institutions may collapse like a deck of cards, yet I will be the least affected by this scenario. What is more relevant than the panicking traders in Wall Street is the US Presidential Elections on November 8, 2008. Two presidential candidates going by the names of Barack Obama and John McCain (in no particular order) as well as a slew of meaningless, obscure nuisances (is Ralph Nader in the mix?) vie for the much maligned position of American President in a world that has become more and more anti-American by the minute.
Yeah, good old Dubya will have to bid farewell early next year. Good riddance, Mr. Bush. We hope that your decision to send troops to Godforsaken places like Iraq and Afghanistan will bode well for America’s future and result in Osama Bin Laden’s foot soldiers getting a good a-whipping. We hope that your recent $700 billion bailout plan will help the world economy back on its shaky feet. You deserve a pat on the back for your earnest efforts. Only history will judge your performance as US President, but for the meantime, let’s place judgment on the two major presidential candidates who are looking for a 4-year lease on White House.
