Edit: Well, it works! Now I am testing the editing function from the Wordpress app too. I tried to edit it from Safari but it seems that I could not do that… Unless I can figure out how to turn on the on-screen keyboard while I’m editing through Safari. Well, let’s see whether editing works from this app instead.

Edit Version 2: I confirmed that editing works with the Wordpress app for iPhone 3GS! Yeah, although instead of a record of the photo(s) posted in the blog through the Wordpress app, some weird random URL shows up, apparently there is no problem with editing the post and retaining the photo already posted in the blog!

This is a fabulous app for the iPhone indeed. More reason to love the iPhone, eh. Now I have no reason for not being able to update my blog regularly. Haha. Another reason this app is cool - I can write in landscape mode! So it’s like typing on a mini pc instead… Great app! Thanks, Wordpress and thanks, Apple!
And another best thing is - the Wordpress application is FREE for download for your iPhone through iTunes!

To use the wallpaper, click on the photo to enlarge it. Once the photo is enlarged, right click on wallpaper using your mouse @ mousepad and click –> “Set as Desktop Wallpaper“.

OR, alternatively if you wish to save the photo first, once the photo is enlarged, right click on the wallpaper using your mouse @ mousepad and click –> “Save As“. Once the photo has been saved in your personal computer, set it as your desktop background by going to the preference menu of your computer.

As I, myself am using the NEC VERSA S3500, I have prepared a special version for other users of NEC VERSA S3500 as well. I guess this version can also work on other laptop @ computer with 13″ screen size. Do let me know whether it does or does not, k.

Just recently, my nephew, Gavyn Marc Labunda turned 1 year old. So I decided to created a magazine cover for him!

There… Don’t you all think Gavyn looks adorable? He’s famous now!

The only trouble is how long was your site down? How many visitors did you loose? How many sales were lost? The questions are endless.

But even if your site is online it may be too slow for people to use at times throughout the day. How would you know this? Well truthfully you wouldn’t but what you would see is a decrease in traffic. You might think you’re loosing visitors when really it’s just that your web site is too slow.

These questions plagued me for some time about my site. The good news is there are services that will send you an email (or text message to your cell phone) the minute your web site goes down. They will also measure how fast your site is throughout the day and give you nice graphical reports of how your site is performing hour-by-hour and day-by-day.

I recently came across such a service called InternetUptimeMonitor.com. They do all of the above and I’ve been pretty pleased with their service on my site. It gives me a lot of piece of mind knowing that throughout the day if my site goes down I’ll get an email.

If I have a day with low traffic do you know the first place I check? You got it! InternetUptimeMonitor.com. Why? Because maybe my site was really slow and that’s why my traffic was down!

InternetUptimeMonitor.com offers two flavours of their service Free and Paid (for Businesses). The differences between the two accounts are how often they check your site, if they watch it from around the world or just the USA, and if you get cell-phone text messages alerts or just email alerts.

If you’re a business that’s making any money at all online I’d recommend their business (Gold membership) because it costs you too much money to have your site down. If you’ve got a blog and use it for fun or aren’t making much money yet use the free membership.

Use this link below you’ll get 65% off their premium package when you’re ready to order. This is a special link I’ve been given for readers of my site and it’s not available to the general public:

Start Monitoring Your Website Now

Everyone should monitor his or her web site because you never know the next time your site will go down.

Fluorescent Halloween

Yup, that’s the theme that LHAG set for Halloween this year! Haha. In conjunction with Halloween and also merely because the LHAG-ians decided to go out and do something fun together (yeah, working is strictly prohibited on Friday night!), we all decided to have a bowling competition on Halloween night!!!

Yay! The venue was Cosmic Bowl @ Mid Valley Megamall. Honestly speaking, I am not good at all in bowling. But it’s the fun that matters, right! Haha.

They were about 10 teams of LHAG-ians last night, with each team having 3 players. I am lucky because my team members are both awesome bowlers!!! Yay! Yup, our Senior Associate, Shanmugam and another Associate, Teck King, both were so good, that their numerous strikes and spares could actually cover my lousy bowling turns. Haha…

Ooo, and coincidentally, there was a bowling tournament of the Melaka State government being held there last night as well. So yeah, in the midst of our game, the Menteri Besar Melaka came to pay a visit. Hehe. The Menteri Besar was there for the tournament, actually. And there were some RTM reporters around, with their big cameras overlooking our part of bowling alleys as well. Hopefully they didn’t mistaken our LHAG-ians bowling teams as part of the tournament thingy… :p

Halloween Cat Bowling Game

To complement this post, here’s a Halloween cat bowling game for you all!!! Enjoy!
Halloween Cat Bowling Game

If the flash player fails to load, you can click HERE to play the Cat Bowling Game. Try it… It’s fun and addictive! Just use the ’space bar’ on your keyboard to bowl. It’s that’s easy!

Well, anyway. Just thought of sharing some of the things that I discovered. Yeah, in a way this post can be used as a storage and mini reminder to things that I wanted to do but haven’t gotten the chance to do it.

Here’s an interesting article that I found: Make your Own Wordpress Theme - Part 1. The presentation is neat and easy to understand. I have yet to read Part 2 and the rest of the parts here though. Shall keep this link for future reading & learning…

Anyway, there is always an easier way to creating my own Wordpress Theme. Yup, by using the Wordpress Theme Generator. It’s simple & easy to use. Just change the colour and other settings in the relevant boxes, save it, download & upload! It does look easy. Will explore this more…

And of course, the easiest way, is to use a ready-made theme. Hehe. Found a site with a lot of neat & professional looking Wordpress Theme –> ThemeLab. Yup, I love most of the themes there and the best thing is, it’s free!

One day (when I’ve learnt enough or by experimenting), I want to have my own creation of Wordpress Themes as well and of course I will make it free for download. Heh… Yeah, just have to figure out how to work out the “Live Demo” application to enable live view of the theme though.

However, as my site is still quite new with not that many posts, it is not suitable to use the Guzel Magazine Theme as yet. Yeah, there are a lot of empty spaces here and there. Haha.

That’s one really nice theme, I would say. And the best thing is that the theme comes with a built in Control Panel. Because of that, everything is so easy! It’s really like filing in an empty form and hey presto, your new look is waiting for you. Customthemedesign is really so kind to allow free access to this wonderful theme.

Well, if any of you are interested to download the Guzel Magazine Pro theme, you can either go here to download it from Gabfire website, or alternatively, you can directly download it by clicking HERE.

Enjoy!
