This is exactly why I like this P2 WordPress theme! I can update from the homepage so long as I'm logged in. Now, I don't have to bore and pester my Twitter friends whenever I have not-so-short-and-sweet thoughts. :) Freedom from the pressure of the dashboard and the long and winding road of editing through that console is usually what makes me rather lazy whenever I had something in mind that I wanted to write. The moment I see that screen, I dread at the thought of clicking on save -- which to me seems to take forever. This is a whole lot better.

Now, if only I can find a way to add a title to each rush post. Hmmm. I'll figure that out soon, I'm pretty sure. Well, I'm off to the real world now. Catch you later, virtual friends. Hey, whatcha up to today? :)

I honestly didn't think I'd figure out what exactly went wrong with my WordPress-powered blog that made this already invisible blog more invisible than it already is. As I've written in this post and in this post, the recent upgrade to WordPress 2.6 caused my blog to go down, down, down for at least three (3) days. The frequent "script-tinker" and "never-seem-to-be-content" person that I am had me thinking that it was my messing with the redirection script for mofuse.com that created a mobile-friendly version of my blog for those readers accessing via their mobile phones (as if there are any..*sigh*), has caused this problem. And for a while there, I actually told myself that I wouldn't mess with scripts anymore (at least for this blog). As I've lost hope in ever identifying the root cause of this "blank screen of death" as another blogger puts it, I've abandoned all interests to continue researching online or elsewhere. But as fate would have it, maybe reinstallation wasn't bad after all. Maybe it's what I really needed -- a fresh start, so I can see things clearer. Continue reading →

Want to read the story of my struggle with the recent WordPress 2.6 upgrade? It's not here. It's on my new blog -- my Post-WordPress 2.6 blog, I call it "The Reformed Blogger" and the exact post is here. :) I would've posted it here but I think I owe it to that other blog to write it there since it's been my sanctuary in the few days that WordPress 2.6 has me heartbroken. If you wanna know if I'll keep that new blog even if this blog is already fixed, well, hell yes! :) I love it there. It provided me sanity and support during those trying days and the least I can do is keep it. Besides, I love the way the i.ph blog is set. :)

As if the "NoFollow Free" (aka. "do follow") isn't enough, I have also installed the " CommentLuv Plugin" that will parse the commenter's last blog post from the feed/rss of their blog. So now, you don't only get a free "do follow" link to your site, Continue reading →

I have been wanting to install this amazing NoFollow plugin even before I moved to an installed version of WordPress but Continue reading →

I made one of those "O-M-G" mistakes today, actually, just a few minutes ago. You see, the adventurous and software-tinker that I am, I have decided to move our family website MarmolOnline.com from Freewebs.com to another self-hosted WordPress blog. My webhost's 1.5GB of space allocation is barely used at only 3.26MB for the website and only 1.26MB for my logs. So I thought, I'd better transfer the family website to my paid host. I initially wanted to make a photoblog but changed my mind. Everything was going well, including the changing of nameservers since the MarmolOnline.com domain is registered at HostPapi, and my webhost is StartLogic so I had to manage my domain from within my webhost. Shortly after verifying that the new domain control is working, I installed WordPress under the MarmolOnline.com adapted domain. I of course want to install it at the root directory. The installation prompted me to check if I was certain since the same application is already installed ( the one used by ADayInTheLifeOfRJ.com ). I didn't know what came upon me that prompted me to tick on "Confirm installation on existing directory". I ticked the darn thing without second thoughts. It must be sheer stupidity or maybe I wasn't myself that time. After doing that, I immediately felt that "oops..oh dear! shoot me!" moment. I checked my ADayInTheLifeOfRJ.com url and lo and behold! -- it's gone! gone with the wind! gone forever! I sat in front of the screen like a stone.. what the %^%&^%*???!!! How incredibly and unbelievably stupid can I get?? What was I thinking? Or was I even thinking?? Oh my dear Lord.. all those stupid podcasts, all those junk entries..no matter how insignificant it might be to other people, those to me are freakin' priceless.. I have been spending hours trying to fix that darn site's layout and now, all for nothing? "This can't possibly be happening!" I thought, there has to be a way to undo this stupid mistake. And oh, what a relief when I remembered that I incidentally signed-up for a "site restore" feature / add-on service at StartLogic. Never have I ever been so thankful for paying extra for such a feature that until this day, I thought I didn't need and shouldn't have paid for in the first place. One click of a button and presto! My site is back like nothing horrifying ever happened. Whew! That was the closest I got to total freak-out. I almost gave up blogging, all because of that incident. Seriously, if I didn't have it fixed, I was swearing not to blog anymore lest I end up nuking all posts that took me months to write in only a fraction of a second.. Today, I learned a lesson, and learned it the hard way. Never, in my wildest dreams will I ever tick on a "confirm installation on an existing directory" again unless I am 101% sure. Thank God it's over. And thank God for "restore".
