CarlOcab dot Com was hacked?
I was shocked to hear my friend Carl’s website hacked when he told me about it. While I don’t know what I can do to help him, I went back to the site and found it and alive already with another hosting company. I thought he was joking with me initially, but it was really happening and i didn’t manage to see his site down in the past 8 hours. Sunday is a day of rest for me to go church at noon, take some short afternoon naps, and surfing around the Internet after having my dinner. When Carl told me about it, I wasn’t at my desk when I reached home from church at about 4pm. Hacking a website for fun is somehow too big a joke to make. Luckily, his site was not totally removed of his files and database. I remember back in July when I was having problem using wordpress on Godaddy. After trying all ways to find out how to solve that trailing slash problem, I gave up and move on to Bluehost. After which, I realize there is a slight problem in transporting my files over. After trial and error getting it right, I decided to document it in my blog post as How to Transfer Wordpress from One Server to Another. I never knew it may become useful to Carl or anyone else. I am just glad that I can contribute as part of the blogosphere. It is bringing to my attention that I should be working on my new website interface pretty soon. It’s been taking some time since I was outside to bring in more income. |

Why Singaporeans Have To Work OT On Their Jobs?
Singaporeans basically have the mentality that working longer than expected on their jobs means that they are doing fine on their jobs. I was talking about this topic with my boss I am working for, and discussing about my past business I had done. For the benefits of doubt for those people who don’t know what OT means, OT means “overtime”. So, if you work overtime in Singapore, people will only praise you that you are so hardworking. Let’s talk about China’s mentality about OT

I actually find it interesting to use twitter after trying it myself for the first time!

When Is The Right Time To Start A Website?
I often ask people around me if they have any intention to start a website. I realize they have a problem when thinking of starting a website. That is, they usually think of starting a website only when they are ready. But I have always told them that starting a website is not like starting a business and start making money immediately. It takes time to grow the website and thus it is always good to work on your website while you are working on your business or job. Why start when you are not ready? Maturity in your website Should I submit my site to search engines now or later? Should I start telling people about my website? Have fun building your website from day one! Happy Boxing Day! |

Starting A New Blog With A Plan
In my bid to start a new website related to technology, I have been asking around what it takes to keep the readers interested in the website. Some of them read interesting articles, some looking at products and their reviews, some looking for horoscopes, some reading tutorials to learn something and some others just browsing through. I was targeting towards readers reading magazine as well as the websites because I believe there must have some linkage between these two areas. Looking through the plan I am working towards, I realize the very most important thing to do is to focus towards a topic which can always be a never-ending contents. For example, if you focus too much on a particular item (say xBox for example), you might not be able to write anymore about it when an even newer generation comes in. Focusing towards a niche with the idea of expandability is also something we have to consider. Planning a blog is something which requires a commitment. Taking some time out of your everyday life to write something is part of your most important role in your contribution to your blog success. Presenting your blog is also very important. Your blog structure is going to blend to your original website? Is your website going to have an additional feature of displaying products? Is your website going to sell products online? Designing the blog is very serious for your website branding. Marketing your blog is one area which can never be forgotten. You could market your blog through buying reviews. You could market your blog through PPC campaigns. You could now buy Text-Link-Ads for your website to attract more traffic. You might also want to optimize your blog properly for search engines to crawl for more additional traffic for relevancy and keywords. Keep a good plan, and stick to it! I think this is the most important thing to do in every business. Don’t be lost… |

Will People Still Buy Blogging Business?
With the recent acquisition of blogs over the past few months, it has been clear that the new bloggers have almost no idea what they are buying! Especially where they are buying to continue the blog business, it is not an easy stage for the new bloggers especially when their learning curve is still very deep. This reminds me of one new blogger who purchased a review with John Chow where his blog is simply a duplicate of different bloggers’ contents only. And he had a tight slap from John for doing such a thing. So now, we are going to learn a new lesson here… Buying a blog which is already making substantial amount of money… That’s so ideal for everyone of us where we want to get into real business without much effort to start it up… However, many people simply couldn’t understand the blogging voice that the original blogger has left behind… This voice is somehow not easy to replicate unless you probably have been following his or her blog for quite some time and you are a real good actor… This reminds me of John Cow who has focused his blog towards making himself a mirror to John Chow. Although he is not taking the same blog voice as John Chow, he has created anther voice which sounds like a cow! This makes his blog stand out from the rest because we like to hear what they are up to in the next posting. I personally think that there is some failure towards the acquisition of Cash Quests and Desinotes. Although the new bloggers taking over have a few knowledge of their own, it seems like their knowledge is not so familiar to the ones we have been reading… That’s the blog voice I am talking about. Definitely, there is a way of taking advantage of the existing blog. It seems like Blogging Fingers is taking up a pretty good new owner somehow. Garry Conn is having a good time writing on Blogging Fingers. I don’t think Garry Conn has purchased the blog… Am I right? To buy or not to buy… That’s for the blogger to find out how to transfer the business effectively… I remember a friend who mentioned to me about her friend’s delivery business which is making good morning every day. But since the new owner took over the business at a few hundred thousand dollars, the business simply drops like crazy! That’s because the customers no longer see the personal touch they previously had with the ex-owner… Furthermore, there are many other delivery companies for them to choose from… |

Where is my USB Key?
I won a USB key in a contest in early October 2007. However, I still see no news for the arrival of my USB key. Is this just another scam? I had a nice little chat with David Airey before and I think he is a nice guy with a wonderful blog. Probably Jamie has forgotten about it. The only time I received news about it is when I start blogging about it that Jamie informed me about some workers’ strike problem Taking a look at Jamie’s announcement about the USB Key winner, I felt so sad that it looks so real on the surface… But is it really coming? |
