Who? What? VisionBedding.com? 2007-09-24 11:36:13 Now, this is what is called efficient! When you typed down, the website address and you enter, you are immediately presented with various of their wonderful products. When I first saw the website name, my first thought was “We can have bedding in our vision?”. I hope this vision is not related to eye sight because we cannot fit bedding in our eyes. Can we? (silly question). Of course, the website title is urging us to think of a futuristic bedding which suit teenagers and kids. I personally interested in the personalized bedding. Below is an example of this personalized bedding: It is a beauty, don’t you agree? This is just one of the creative product of VisionBedding.com. You can have your own photo pillow or a photo blanket. How about a photo dog bedding? You can get all this for a reasonable prize. So, get you own personalized photo bedding.

Important Entry-Please Read! 2007-09-24 11:12:14 Firstly, I’m going to bring your attention to this article or post done by PapaJoneh to other parents out there. I think it is our obligation to warn parents out there (especially online) about this important fact about children chatting online. As PapaJoneh put it, if you have children, please read this! Secondly, I have promised an online friend of mine, Jim from how2fail.com to promote his new website to my blog visitors. Yes, that would be YOU. I’m not so good at promoting so I copied Jim’s own description that he put on Craigslist. Hey! I’m a Senior Industrial Engineering student attending Clemson University and I want to start to build a bit of a portfolio. I run several websites dedicated to web development. Now I want to offer my services for free - why? Well, first to build credibility. I also would like to gain experience and help people improve their site’s SEO (Search Engine Optimization), Usability, and Efficiency. I can do des ...

My Blog Host 2007-09-23 11:53:27 My blog was reviewed by Jim in his blog recently (Now the review is in Jim’s other site). He have mention about my blog hosting. So, I do a bit goggling and found out a clearer description about Powweb.com. Below is some of the description that I copied: Powweb Details   Company Owner: PowWeb Inc.   Operating Name : Powweb   Website : www.Powweb.com   Start Date : 1999   Headquarters : San Gabriel, California   Main Phone Number : 1-877-476-9932 Review of Powweb Overview: Powweb offers just one web hosting plan built on the Linux platform. With this one hosting plan, comes great resources and features that make it very attractive. Powweb promotes load balancing which is basically making available redundant access so that if one path to the server goes down there are ot ...

For My Online Friends.. 2007-09-23 11:39:06 This going to be a short one because I just want to dedicate this post to my online friends (who have commented in my blog frequently) and to my real friends out there (what I meant by ‘real friends’ is those who have met me and spoken to me as a friend). For my online buddy, Ben, Kay, PapaJoneh, Drizad, Jim, Leona, Hanly, Jane, Jonathan, Cindy, Ezam, and other friends that I forget to mention here (no hard feelings ah…), check out this link. Just answer the 11 questions there and see the result. Some of the result is a bit funny. Enjoy!

Change Is A Continuos Thing.. 2007-09-22 12:14:32 A few days before (16 September to be exact), I do a few changes to my blog. Today, I made some major changes including putting away the nuffnang’s small ad widget which actually one of the factors that made my blog load time slower because the ad keep referring to nuffnang.com server according to adesblog.com analysis based on the pingdom.com free tool for website load time test. I’ve entered my blog URL and below is the result:   Website information Total loading time: 29.1 seconds Total objects: 59 (420.3 KB) External objects: 27 (267.5 KB) (X)HTML: 5 (70.7KB) RSS/XML: 0 CSS: 5 (22.9KB) Scripts: 20 (170KB) Images: 29 (156.7KB) Plugins: 0 Other: 0 (0KB) Redirected: 2 Compared to other blogs, load time this is quite slow but of course, after I put away a few things, this is considered okay (I think). But still, I don’t know what to do next to improve this problem. I do a test on kastum.com (One of Kay’s blog)and the result ...

Anything Wrong With Your House? 2007-09-17 11:26:16 My wife always had a planned to do some home improvements to our current home (which is actually my in-law house) but I said to my wife that we are going to move from this house anyway. Then she answered that we are going to stay in the house for a while (our new house is schedule to be fully build by year 2009), so while we are still staying there, we can do some renovations to the house. But when we do our budget, we don’t have enough cash to do so. It would be nice if we can installed some double glazing windows in our current home but if we installed that kind of windows, we need to installed air-conditioner too. So, verdict: forget it because it is way out of the budget. I actually don’t really understand what is this double glazing windows thing, so I check from Wikipedia and got this explanation: The most commonly found IGUs are double glazed, i.e. made with two lites of glass and are therefore also referred to as “double glazing units&rd ...

A Few Changes 2007-09-16 11:26:40 This is an update of my blog. I made a few changes in my blog. The obvious one is I removed my BlogCatalog plugin (sorry BlogCatalog fans), losing some of my plugin in the post, namely PlugIM plugin (sorry Ryan ‘Dravis’) and SphinnIt plugin (Jim kinda make sense in his review on this matter) and a few of my links a the bottom left of my side bar. Thanks to Jim from how2fail.com for his sincere analysis of my site. I’m still trying to follow his advice to improve my blog. I’m sorry Jim if can’t follow everything that you’ve mention. I’ll be often referring to your site to makes changes to my blog. Secondly, I got an email from a few of the Internet Marketer that I subscribe to (one of the is Gobala) and this is about getting FREE traffic to your blog. I immediately sign-up and put the widget from the site. The site is called BlogRush and the concept is the same with Criteo (which I don’t removed). I ‘m eager to ...

Backlinks - How To Get High Quality One Way Links To Your Websites 2007-09-13 11:42:40 This is another interesting article about websites linking. To tell you the truth, some of the method here, I also haven’t implement in my blog but I feel this article is a good resource to share with all. I will eventually apply all of the steps that is stated here to get more traffic to my blog. Anyhow, do read this article to get those quality backlinks. There are basically two aspects to SEO, “on page” & “off page” optimization. “On Page” SEO is easy because it’s totally under your control. It’s simply a case of making sure you have optimized your web pages correctly. OK, so there is a bit more to it than that, like keyword research, keyword density & frequency, which html tags to use, making sure your site/pages are W3 Compliant, using relative/absolute internal linking structures to feed the pagerank where it’s most effective, using titles and descriptions that encourage people to clíck th ...

Do Not Click It! 2007-09-12 11:03:20 I’m a little bit unsure of the security of an email these day. All those fakes emails are entering our email ever day. I guess it is because we tend to publicize or reveal our email address to others online. But even if we don’t reveal or put our email address openly, there are still those ‘geniuses’ out there that can get our emails. Today, I just receive an email from PayPal regarding their websites layout changes. At the same time (almost), I receive another email claiming they are from PayPal to unlock my account by clicking a link in the email because it has been blocked by PayPal. But I realize it was a fraud because of Gmail capability to warn me about fake emails that claiming they are from certain company, which is not the case actually. Below is the fake email that I received: ********************************************************************************************************** Dear PayPal Customer, This email is to inform y ...

Suicide in Cyberspace - Your Outward Links Can Kill Your Rankings 2007-09-09 10:34:21 Here is a little bit about linking and SEO. Well, actually I’m not really a fan when it comes to SEO but every blog master need to know about it even a little bit. So, be sure to read this article if you have a blog. Link building strategies have, for most people for a long time, revolved around reciprocal link exchanges. Whilst most people understand that links are important, they generally don’t understand why this is so. In a nutshell, a link to your site has traditionally been accepted by Search Engines as a vote for your site. A link from a topic or theme-related site to yours is better than a link from a site having a completely different topic. An important site’s link to yours carries more weight - for example from The Open Directory, or Yahoo Directory. All pretty straightforward… BUT… the rules have changed… significantly! All the thinking webmasters worked diligently to build links - willy-nilly - in order to sub ...
