Are you game enough for Operation Firefox?

About a week ago, the Mozilla foundation launched a marketing project Operation Firefox - its goal, to post fifty 3.5 feet wide Firefox stickers (Fathead Posters) in high human traffic areas all around the world… Just to spread Firefox. Cool! I think this would be fun! Unfortunately, participants must be residents of [...]

Category or Tag?

With WordPress 2.3, I believe many more bloggers are using the native tagging mechanism. Its brilliant, and its a feature that many power users of WordPress have been yearning for. But if you are just getting started on blogging - you might wonder: Should you put this as a category, or a [...]

Blogger.com blogs allow subscribing to comments via email!

Seriously, one of the main reasons why I would recommend everyone to get started on WordPress instead of sticking to a Blogger.com blog is because in WordPress, you can tap on the practically unlimted functionality of the WordPress plugins. One of the more popular WordPress plugins of all time has been Subscribe to Comments - allowing [...]

Corporations, it is time for you fire your web designer yet?

This is a rant. I rarely do so, but I really can’t believe what I just experienced. We need “brainless navigation”. Please. I’ve been so frustrated - over the inability for me to search for the information over the Internet despite knowing exactly what I am searching for. I needed to find the SingTel [...]

Reoptimizing Blogopreneur

I didn’t have much sleep last night, because I decided to relook at the codes behind Blogopreneur.com and re-optimize it with the new knowledge I have learnt since the last time I scrutinized the theme. It was also time for me to adapt and embrace the structural changes of WordPress 2.3 - particularly, the [...]

Can you really outsource SEO?

Adam McFarland of Faceup-Sites did an excellent article about The Case Against Outsourced SEO, and I got that article through today’s SEO News mailing. He explains: Most of the time when companies outsource SEO they do it with the mentality of “here you go, you handle it, we expect results.” They view it as an entirely separate [...]

Teaching sells and blogs as an attraction strategy

Having received Problogger’s newsletter today - I have downloaded and read the Teaching Sells report by Brian Clark of CopyBlogger.com I’d say its an excellent report and it really gives “that picture” about blogging. Brian explains that blogging is more of an “attraction strategy” rather and an end by itself, and it is so true [...]

What can serving sushi teach you about business?

Yesterday, I was yearning for some “brainless entertainment” and I headed on to Miniclip.com, only to find an interesting game - Sushi Go Round. And for some time (okay, okay, it got me stuck for over an hour! ) I was so caught up in the game, and I played it over and [...]

Learn how you can get into Google’s first page in 9 hours!

I’m pleasantly surprised that my effort (and stubborn-ness) in building this blog has paid off so well. I was supposed to sleep early last night, but I didn’t - I came back online and did the post on Social Rank. It was 1.50am. Its almost 11:00am on the same day now, and when I did a [...]

Social Rank versus Page Rank

As I was reading my SitePro News newsletter today, I was brought to a blog post on the SitePro news blog, saying that Social Rank Soon to Supplant Page Rank. But the article was not what I thought it would be about. The blog post was more about a site SocialRank.com which is an aggregator [...]
