Laptop Info Today

Posts Tagged ‘laptop info today’

Well guys …. it took me actually 2 weeks since my last (short) post and I have to say again I am still busy with lots of my current projects coming on….

Well this post has nothing to do with laptops or technologies in general but what I want to say to my loyal visitors out there, “This blog ain’t dead yet”.

I am (ever) presently busy with my sharepoint stuffs and yes (it is confirm), I will be doing a SharePoint blog to share my tips with you on this mostly sought collaboration portal. That blog will be at www.sharepointeasy.com .

The whole 2 weeks ago was quite tensed (from my point of view). I had screwed up the domain transfer to my godaddy account and moving 2 of blogs which are Izzy Rocks Music Site and Laptop Info Today. As this was my first experience on moving blogs to another hosting company (how I’m on Hostmonster), I tend learn things the tough and rough ways and like any first-timers making mistakes that could nearly ruin everything! I was grateful everything turn out fine till yesterday (except some minor wordpress plugins glitches on my music blog). For the domain part ….. I was persistent enough to get transferred in a week (with some minor glitch up to my previous domain registrar).

But to be on the positive note, I’m back and hopefully soon enough (this week) you will see great contents that I’ll be posting on this blog and my SharePoint blog and of course you will be enjoying great music videos daily from my music blog……

Till then ….. cheers and rock forever.

Hi guys, I have taking quite a lengthy break lately and at the same time I am quite preoccupied with my SharePoint projects at work as well.

Currently, I am still undergoing through my MCITP course  as a Microsoft Windows Server 2008 : Server Administrator certification and to tell you frankly I will posting some information on what I learn which might be useful for laptops and desktop users alike.

Well the whole of last month was quite something really.

Last week,  I received my first Google Adsense cheque; an amount of  SGD$159.51. It is the first cheque I’ve ever  received from Google after close to 3 years blogging.

If you are a frequent visitor of my blog, you will notice the new theme design that I’ve applied in this blog.

And you might be wondering why I ditched the UDB Moneymaker theme which was doing quite well with this blog. Personally, I like the UDB theme till 2 days ago.

Well, to make it even super …. this theme is made by me; my first ever wordpress theme.

To honestly speaking although I’m a techie guy, I’m not well versed with PHP so how do I make this theme without having PHP Essential knowledge?

Simple, it is down with a software called Artisteer.

Artisteer is a software specialized to making themes in a snap. It can be you are designing a Joomla template, Wordpress template, Drupal, ASP pages or just the basic html, Artisteer has got the tools to make it done simpler with no coding at all.

I was quite sceptical but I decided to give it a go.

I downloaded the trial yesterday and by today morning ( a total of 3 hours designing) I completed my design.

To get things done using a new software which you did not have knowledge on that is fast.

Lets go thru the details ….

Hi guys, it’s been a long time ( a month actually) since I did any posting and to my fellow visitors, some might wonder what actually happens to me and all my new posts?

I’m back from the dead (to say the least) as I was pre-occupied with developments on the Windows SharePoint platform (MOSS) and my first ever experience with Rapidshare.

Due to all these activities, I kinda neglect a bit of my blogging and to tell you the truth ……. it’s been a hell of activities and experiences for the past month.

I would like to thank my fellow visitors for visiting this blog of mine and for some wonderful comments posted in this blog.

During the time, MYBOXPRO.com has an increased in Page Rank from PR 1 to PR2.

I’m very grateful for all the support given by my fellow visitors and for continuous tips and tricks, this site will continue to provide more of that.

I’m back and this site is back and who knows since I could even do a blog on SharePoint in the future .

Is your Search Engine Optimized?

Well that’s a question I asked myself sometimes when I’m doing this blog and it is especially important task for website owners (such as myself) out there.

Search Engine Optimization is abut having your blog or site optimized to these search engines such as Google, MSN or Yahoo. There are many of these types of search engines and it is important that you have your site optimized so you can more vistors visiting your site.

SEO can be tough and a patient game if you’re doing it alone or there are SEO Management Services that can do that for you.

Get your site optimized because it is a good benefit for you and your visitors as well.

I’ve just upgraded my blog, which is on the wordpress platform, to version 2.6.3.

When it comes to self-hosted blogs on wordpress platform, the normal time taken for and upgrade is about 5 minutes which is still quite a long time for me personally .

Being in the wordpress version 2.6.2, I am trying to find upgrading methods in less than a minute !

Unrealistic target from a techie guy, you might but it is actually not.

I’ve upgraded 2 blogs (this one and IzzyRocks.net in less than a minute ! ).

How do I do it?

Let’s begin.

You need 2 files to be downloaded to your computer first.

1. class-snoopy.php
2. version.php

Once you have downloaded both files, open up your ftp program (in this case I use Filezilla client).

Upload the 2 files to your wp-includes directory. You will be prompted whether you wanted to override the existing files. Click OK to override.

Once both files have been uploaded, refresh your wordpress dashboard and you have successfully perform your wordpress upgrade.

Yeah I’m going crazy these few days in selecting a new theme for my blog.

Recently I did a maroon theme “TECH SYS” style which I applied on this blog ….. unfortunately I get lots of feedback that I’m degrading my site and myself as well..

A close friend of mine quoted as I’m letting my readers move away even further with the new theme and it’s a wake up call nonetheless to find a suitable theme for this blog.

I had contacted a few friends of mine and a fellow blogger at SuccessFullTime.com recommended me this theme (the one you are seeing right now).

For those who are wanting to get this theme for your wordpress blog, you can proceed to Unique Blog Designs.

Hey lots of bloggers are getting their themes from there and I say ….. “It couldn’t be a wrong choice”.

I do not know what you will be thinking but I feel the technological feel like the TechCrunch site in this.

It’s been a year plus since I’ve been blogging on this site with news, articles, tips and tricks.

I was sitting down analyzing my site and I keep pondering with myself whether should I continue the same website outlook which had 3 column header widgets, a sidebar and 3 footer widgets ( Alvin Phang’s theme as the one I had previously used) or do a complete overhaul.

I thinker and thinker …. browse lots of websites and decided that this theme suits me just fine.

Why the sudden change?

I just feel I need to move away from the money-making site style to a more laptop and techy feel.

I went through 3 days searching for a good theme and finally I’ve got it at this site.

Another change (well I don’t whether it would work for me or against me) is that I decided (for the first time) to input my current photo on this blog. How the traffic or audience going to react to this …… I simply don’t know but I hope it is going to be good :)  .

Currently the header logo for Laptop Info Today is in progress; a friend of mine (Eliaski at getonlinesuccess.com) is currently designing one for me.

So my fellow visitors … blast me with comments on the new theme ….. your feedbacks will be cool.
