Upgraded to WordPress 2.2

Hello all, I feel embarrassed when I see the traffic of this blog still maintaining at the same level while I wasn’t able to update it on a weekly basis. It’s either my pillar posts(those in the popular entries) still pumps in all the traffics, or there’s really someone reading this blog. Either way, I feel bad. I’ll try to squeeze out more time for this blog, life’s being a bitch recently. I wish you all are doing fine if you are reading this.

I have just updated WordPress to version 2.2, this is a mandatory upgrade which means the 2.1.X branch will not be continued. Bloggers, you might want to upgrade your WordPress blog as soon as you can because this version consists of 244 bugs fixed.

Are You A Blogaholic?

David Wallace at searchrank.com has a post about “10 Signs That You May Be a Blog Addict“. Very funny, but it more or less tells you the behaviors of active bloggers. Here I will list down the 10 signs.

1. Bloglines, Google Reader or some other RSS reader is constantly open on your computer’s desktop.
2. You tell customers that you missed a project deadline because “some things” came up but in reality, you were blogging.
3. You periodically dream that you are blogging.
4. You get inspiration for new blog posts at the strangest times – in the Jacuzzi, sitting on the toilet, during marital activities (cough, cough)… you get the picture.
5. Before blogs, you used to tuck the kids into bed at night. Now you check for unapproved blog comments before heading to bed yourself.
6. In order for your family to keep up with what’s going on in your life, they have to read your blog. Furthermore, if they want to communicate with you, they have to comment on your blog.
7. You have actually considered setting up a blog for your pet of which you would post the entries pretending you are your pet (weirdo).
8. You can’t remember dates for your wedding anniversary, kids birthdays, etc., but you know what your Technorati rank is.
9. You blog about anything and everything including bad meals, your pets, getting your car stuck in snow, conversations you have in the bathroom, etc.
10. 10. Keeping a blog is no longer enough but you now have to record your every move on Twitter.

How many criteria have you met? Use this as a borderline perhaps, don’t go overboard with any online activity.

WordPress Plugin: CompleteRSS, serving your RSS feed in full.

I used to serve my RSS feed in full text. In this way I personally think the readers will enjoy the information easier, without visiting the actual site for the full content. This is what RSS feed, and any other technology meant to be, to simplify things, to save time.

The problem is that ever since I’ve implemented the “more” tag for better front page sorting, my RSS feed is not able to serve in full text anymore. It inherits the “more” link in the feed, in where you set to trim the post. I’ve been looking for solution for this problem, and I’ve found one.

This is a WordPress plugin brought to you by Computer Guru. CompleteRSS is a plugin that allows you to serve your RSS feed in full HTML. Download page is here.

Blogroll Wanted!

It’s been a while since I last updated my Blogroll. I’m now free to spend some time on this blog for some enhancements(?), I don’t know, probably some changes and more. Most of all, I would like someone to recommend his/her own blog to me, and I will go and read it like there’s no tomorrow, then I’ll list it in my blogroll if it’s real good. Please be noticed that this is a ONE WAY LINK only, that means I’m NOT asking for a back link.

I will not list out my criteria here, you are the judge of yourself, but it’s strictly blog only please. Someone out there, please enlighten this poor soul here. Leave your comment with your blog URL or contact me with the contact form.

Lastly, spammers, GO A W A Y.
