July 3, 2008

It was extremely difficult to post a blog last night. I composed my previous post through BlogDesk and when I hit the “Publish Post” button, an error alert popped up on my screen. I wondered what could be the trouble this time, deciding to just manually post my entry on my WordPress admin panel, I tried logging in and here’s a screenshot of what I got: (Continue here)

This period is called National Flag Days.

Here’s an idea: why not wave the National Flag on your blog? Continue reading the whole post…

May 2, 2008

May 1 may be more famous in the Philippines as Labor Day, but on the other side of the world, a campaign to raise awareness about RSS is also happening today.

Free Software to Increase Traffic to Your Blog

April 27, 2008

Here’s a free software for you guys (download link below) who would like help boost traffic to your blogs. It practically enables you to search a keyword and the blogs that are related to that keyword you typed in. You will be able to quickly find the blogs that are “up there” in the ranks and you can start putting comments to their blogs to increase your own blog’s exposure. As illustrated below -

1. type a keyword related to your blog. i.e. “pinoy”

2. type in your domain name (this is related to point #4)

3. PR stands for “page rank”

4. if you typed your domain name in point #2, it will show if that domain name has links with the top blogs. In this case www.i-filipino.com doesn’t have any links with the top blogs

5. you can see the highest ranking blog related to the keyword “pinoy” - in this case it is “sunstar.com.ph/specials/election” (the lower the number, the higher the ranking)

Has Your WordPress Been Hacked Recently?

April 16, 2008

Matt Mullenweg’s recent post about a “bogus” WordPress security breach had me wondering about my own WordPress sites. Unfortunately, it turns out I’ve become a victim of a WordPress vulnerability whose symptoms are detailed here. Took me two whole nights of restoring my files and folders to their pristine condition. (Fingers crossed.) Take note that this is different from the ro8kfbsmag.txt hack, and seems to be a fairly recent attack. Thankfully, there are a lot of tell-tale signs:

Blogging May Not Be Deadly, But It Has a Whole Sweatshop of Other Problems

April 7, 2008

It’s currently the hottest story at TechMeme. The New York Times reports that “In Web World of 24/7 Stress, Writers Blog Till They Drop“. Drop dead, that is. They consider professional blogging a “digital-era sweatshop”, referring to a factory where its workers are sorely underpaid and unprotected.

But I have to say that NYT is going somewhere with its term, sweatshop.

When Blogs Become Unacknowledged Mainstream Media Sources

April 5, 2008

Blogs being scraped and plagiarized by other blogs is one thing, but what do you do about the beast that is mainstream media? It’s very disappointing for this type of thing to happen, since television and newspaper companies often consider themselves far more legitimate and reputable than anything that comes from the Internet.

Yet we are experiencing an emerging culture of taking things without asking permission, much less giving proper attribution. It could be a bunch of different reasons, mostly revolving around ignorance, but what does that say about supposedly educated professionals in the fields of journalism and mass media? Where are these people’s ethics?

The requested theme does not exist

March 21, 2008

I have been longing to change my wordpress theme for a while now but could not find an inspiring theme to modify. For the longest time I could not decide what I really wanted for a theme… light? dark? two-column? three-column? I regularly searched Weblog Tools Collection and Wordpress Theme Viewer and other blog sites that offer wordpress themes but nothing caught my fancy.

Then I chanced upon the dark theme of Vikiworks Studio and I knew I wanted to change from my bright, white theme to a darker one. So I downloaded his Resurrection theme and started to customize it for my blog. But, it was too challenging to customize Resurrection and I really did not want to just use the default images and style the theme had. I also was a bit more impatient now to get a new theme up and loaded.
