Few WordPress Tweaks

Posted by Daniel Chew On November - 20 - 2007

Yes, some of you might have wondered, what happened to my previous theme. Well, for Firefox users, I guessed there won’t be a problem viewing it, but thanks to Ichitaka for pointing out that when the blog is viewed using Internet Explorer, it went haywire. Yes, all my alignments run here and there. It’s all happening to my WordPress blog. It’s like weirder than weird!!

So as of meantime, I am currently *spoilers* modifying a new wordpress theme while I currently use this theme for my blog. Yes, some of you who are programming freaks might noticed I have added some stuffs or rather some of you who are SEO friendly would know that I have tweak a few stuffs.

What did I Tweak?

Single Post
So what did I tweak, yes, it’s the single post. Now it just shows the title of the post only without additional add-ons. So let’s say Nuffnang the Booze just shows Nuffnang the Booze instead of Nuffnang the Booze ยป Weird Weird Denial. Well, this one pretty easy if you try to read the codes.

Comments Add-ons
Well, another thing which I tweaked about now are the mybloglog functionalities on the comments. Though at first I had trouble with the comments alignment that I have to make do with the table to help organized it. So now if you want your picture or avatar to appear beside your comments, sign up for MyBlogLog.

Meta Tags
Yes, though Google doesn’t search for meta tags, other search engines still uses the Meta tags to enhance search engines relevance for searching. Who wouldn’t want that extra traffic. Yes, now I have added extra tags for easier searching based on the single post, Archived post and main page. Well, if you need clarification on this, just email me. This might help with your wordpress themes.

What’s Next After This?

OK! So now you’ve seen what I did which really aren’t not that visible to the eyes, but if you’re trying to make it SEO (Search Engine Optimization) friendly, learn a thing or two. By the way, I will be starting a new blog just for these issues. So these are actually just a preview. So if you’re interested to learn more, be sure to stay tune here. Who knows other than wordpress blogs, I’ll try make another one for blogspot.

Adios and I have to get back to work. :)

ps : Digg this if you like this post. :)

Simply Monday

Posted by Daniel Chew On November - 19 - 2007

Monday is what it seems. Blue and Dampy!! Well, when it’s a Monday, yes, it’s the day where people start to go to work and to school, universities. Hahaha… most of them wished that the weekends would prolong and not ended too fast. Well what is 2 days compared to 5 working days. You tell me.

Blue Blue Man

But knowing this fact, even if we were given 3 days for a weekend, there will never be enough days for everyone to enjoy. Hmm let me come out with an equation.

String[] workingDays = {“Monday”, “Tuesday”, “Wednesday”, “Thursday”, “Friday” };
double pay = 100.0d;
double totalPay = 0.0d;

for (int i=0;i<workingDays.length;i++) {
totalPay = totalPay + pay;
}

System.out.print(“You get $” + totalPay + ” per week!”);
System.out.print(“In a month you get $” + totalPay*4);

Now tell me, if you have 4 days a week and 3 days of weekend. How much would you get??? Argh….

ps : Anything this doesn’t apply to places where they pay you per monthly salary. Well, I doubt that the company’s accountant didn’t do this calculation at all. :(

Month of Weddings

Posted by Daniel Chew On November - 18 - 2007

I think end of the year, weddings are pretty common. Well, why do I say that? Of course, when I have already attended a few weddings though, not all comes with photos as it’ll be mighty inconvenient for me to carry my camera around all the time.

Though tomorrow’s Bak Kut Teh. :P Anyway some of you who have been following my progress here have noticed one of the wedding’s I have attended at Cyberview Lodge in Cyberjaya. Yes. Nothing out of the ordinary, – I mean the dressing.

Wedding Photo

Now that was the previous post, but recently I have also attended one in Malacca which the dressing was very Baba Nyonya like. They dress in a cultural way. This is something different. Well, for those people who don’t know about it, this is what it means.

Peranakan Baba Nyonya Style Wedding

Look at the traditional costume. Though coming from the Straits of Malacca, it’s where those people we talk with, even for those in Chinese Ethnic, we talk in Malay. But I love this shot most of all. Ta dah….

Cute Young Ones

It seems that year end is really a wedding manifestation. Well, not that I don’t condone or anything, but then this got me thinking about my own life too. Anywayz, I think before I even think that far ahead, first I got to get off my single-life hood. Well, not that I don’t enjoy being single, but this is another stage of life which usually everyone goes through.

Heck, I guessed the Saturday night influence is still on, and here I am again, thinking lots and lots of things. Guessed I better get some sleep. Oh that reminds me, another wedding in December. OMG!!!!

Nuffnang The Booze

Posted by Daniel Chew On November - 16 - 2007

Wow!!! After being down the whole night. I meant Nuffnang‘s site, and also since I thought what the heck, why isn’t the ads showing on my site. I just found out that today’s the day that Nuffnang has now came up with a new version. Yes, it’s now a Version 2. What am I saying?? Is like a new booze waiting for me to have a taste at. Have a look at the screenshot here.

Nuffnang Main Screen

What Do I think About It?

I was mightily impressed, yes… The way they design it, looks kinda hype. Well, that’s not the end of the story though. I thought, maybe it’s just the outside just like how Paypal does with their screen layout. Then so I login, and guess what, a whole new template. Now that’s what I really call a whole new Version.

But then after looking at the add ads code, I noticed that there are differences. Well, as long as it’s functioning alright, I have no problems with it.

What Makes It Different?
Many times I heard people complained about Nuffnang not giving them the much needed payment. But wait… those that complaint usually rely on CPC ads. Yes, those click ads. I have a phobia on CPC ads with some people getting mindless clicks. Sometimes I find it unethical. Well some of you might get my meaning. Click here and there with a group of people. *whistle*.

Talked A Lot, So You Earn A Lot?
People must be wondering, why am I siding with Nuffnang? Did they pay me to post this?? Answer is NO. Did I earn a lot yet from Nuffnang? Answer is also NO, and I haven’t even get to withdraw any amount yet as of date of Post.

As a matter of fact, I think it’s due to the time I met with Boss Stewie at the KL Nuffnang Cinema event. It’s maybe because I met him. Yes, the time when I was halfway the movie, I went into a stomach ache frenzy and off to the toilet only to miss the movie for 30 minutes. *cries*

If you would like to know more about Nuffnang and it’s latest updates, read all about it at their BLOG entry. Yes, Ajax Powered System. Definitely not Ajax Amsterdam, yeah.

Save the Sumatran Rhino

Posted by Daniel Chew On November - 15 - 2007

Have been drafting this post for awhile. Well, what do you know, suddenly I have an advertisement on saving the Sumatran Rhino brought to you by Nuffnang, well cause I didn’t have it previously.

Sumatran Rhino

Anyway that’s beside the point, being somewhat a nature lover, I think it’s time to talk about the Sumatran Rhino and how it now faces the brink of extinction. Well, we have lots of other creatures that are already extinct. If I am not mistaken, previously there is the dodo bird which is now pretty much unheard of. So do you want the Sumatran Rhino to lose it’s horns and be wiped away from the face of the Earth and never to return.

More Sumatran Rhino

Side note :
Imagine this, humans being wiped away and left only you. It’s like a mental torture. Unless of course if you have one pair of male and female. Hehehe.. okay okay, that’s a different thing.

Why Are They Endangered?
Well, due to man, and being poached for it’s horns, hides and meat for medicinal value. Well, one wonders it was greed that created this. Please stop killing them. Number has dropped to like 300s in the recent Sumatran rhino count.

What Can We Do?
First we need others to be aware of these creatures and do our cause to make the public aware of it. Foremost, since most of us aren’t trained guides and rangers, there’s nothing we can do in the wild. So the main issue is to create public awareness to tell the people to protect the earth’s heritage.

Add this Rhino Badge to Your Blog

How Do I Get More Info?
Well, of course, when I was writing this, I basically got the idea from the site behind the advertisement at Save Our Sumatran Rhinos project. Well, you can also view the graphic below to visit the site.

What Do I Get From All This?
Basically I don’t get anything from all this. The only thing I get from writing this stuff is to help preserve wildlife. Yes, I am a PADI certifed diver and thus, I love wildlife and more so marine life. By the way, this is NOT a sponsored post, so I don’t make money out of this. Just doing this out of good will.

What are you waiting for? Maybe you guys can come help preserve the Sumatran Rhinos. If you haven’t written about it yet, why not write about it and help the Rhinos. I did it once for the Turtles.
