My Next Blog Optimization Project - KC See’s
A few days ago, my business and CPT mentor Mr KC See, CEO of Quest Group and MasteryAsia, announced to the community that he has started a blog! It was a great choice to start with WordPress, and host it on their own domain. Here is what it looks like currently, using the [...]
WordPress Include Tags
The WordPress documentation on Include Tags listed four different functions which template developers can use to in their templates:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php comments_template(); ?>
Most templates in the WordPress themes directory use these set of functions, simply because they are used with the default Kubrick template, and according to the documentation, these functions provide the additional functionality [...]
Optimal HTML Headings for Proper Information Hierarchy in WordPress Blogs
I was back tweaking my blog templates these days, and I learned that many of the WordPress Plug-Ins for the sidebar use the HTML header H2, for sidebar headers.

Good [...]
A faulty hard disk is frustrating
Updates have been slow on this blog lately, and I really apologise for that. My computer is giving me really weird problems - and as I am typing this, the other partition in my hard disk where I store all my data, is lost again. Its happened the 5th time (or 6th?) since [...]
Happy Piggy Lunar New Year!
Happy Lunar New Year readers! Its the year of the pig!
Its time to take a rest from work today, go around visiting my relatives, get myself even fatter by eating all the goodies (especially barbecued pork! ) and collect my red packets (yeah, I’m still on the “collecting” side, I haven’t joined the [...]
