Fortune 500 Blog Review: Disney (Part 2)
Alright. Back to the Fortune 500 Blog Project. I was halfway done with Disney yesterday. I was supposed to come back and finish up last night, but I got busy.
Anyway. Now, after I posted the previous post, I got some comments, and some emails - and it seems that I have [...]
The Professional Blogger’s Poem
Don’t ask me how and why I came up with this. I’m no poet. It comes when it just comes.

Pick a good niche, whichever one you wish.
Learn how to write, with all your might.

Write from your heart, and it’ll be [...]

Fortune 500 Blog Review: Disney
On I go with the Fortune 500 Blog Project, and today I’ll be going to Disney.com - the land of Mickey, Donald and all the rest. :mrgreen:The feeling is a little different because I already know Disney has blogs. So my job is not to find blogs, but to find what these blogs do [...]

Using WordPress MU 1.0 - Subdomains or Subdirectories?
WordPress announced the release so WordPress MU 1.0 and bbPress! Finally, after over a year of development (according to the post), its ready!

I’ve tried the beta WordPress [...]
Page Rank and Alexa Traffic Ranking
Wonderful! I just realised today that my Alexa ranking has gone up to 353,226! It was just barely ten days ago that I mentioned that it just got below 500,000. I’m surprised that Alexa came back with a new ranking so quickly.
Not bad for a blog less than 2 months old, starting [...]
Singapore Corporate Blogging Conference
Gosh! I’m soooo late! So it seems that there has been a corporate blogging conference right in my own country one year ago, and I knew nothing about it! I guess was still doodling on my lecture notes then!
