Every website on the WWW will have to kowtow to Google nowadays, as in comply to their webmaster’s guidelines. Having your site being listed in the supplemental search results is the last thing a webmaster ever wanted, besides being banned by Google Adsense.

So I figured it’s time for me to organize all the posts in this blog and come out with a sitemap, in order to submit to the Google Webmaster Tools. Google Sitemap Generator is one of the top ten results upon Google search.

2.2.1, upgrade, wordpress

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.
