From Blogger to Wordpress

Posted by Nhil | 5/12/2009 07:06:00 PM

I am not sure if you are going to read this post today, but I will still try to post something here anyway.

While I am writing this post I am in the process of transferring this blog to a Wordpress platform and this transfer should take effect in 24 hours.

Aside from the change in platform, I will also have to change the look and feel of my site. I will view some of the template options later and will have to decide right away so I can have this blog up as soon as possible. :)

And from my domain of www.24x7onlinediva.com, I will have to use www.24x7-onlinediva.com after the transfer. :) This is new blogging experience for me and something that I need to do ASAP. :)

Happy Mother's Day to all our lovely Moms and I wish you all a great day!

But before you log off and have your treat, I would like you to check out this out.Google made a simple yet lovely logo to go with the Mother's day celebration. Isn't it sweet? :)

Anyway, before this logo came to our screens today, this logo has evolved for years. Let's see how it goes for the next few years to come, but for now, let's give our Moms their offline treat, making money online can wait anyway. :)

Jamie Pugh can capitalize the drama of his life being a young widower in his 20's but he chose to tell everyone what he does at work, a warehouse driver by day and pizza delivery boy (ahmm man), at night.

When I saw him at first, he reminded me of my father (who shares the same hairline) but what kept me from watching it countless times (until now that I am writing this post) is the (cool pitch yet warm tone) voice that is meant to sing in front of the Queen and be heard by a lot of people to appreciate his talent.

And oh, speaking of appreciation, his heartwarming interpretation of Bring Him Home by Les Miserables was twitted by Demi Moore. She's no authority when it comes to music, but hey, that's still something right?

If you want to hear it for yourself, listen to the clip below and let me know what you think. :)




I wonder what Susan Boyle , Shaheen Jafargholi and Hollie Steel are thinking now that he came to the picture.

He might have been the last contestant to audition, but he surely left something worthy to remember. Now I know what it means when someone says "Save the Best for Last". Good luck Jamie! :)

Have you thought of using Pacquiao-Hatton fight to write a blog post?

I just thought of it now. I just turned the TV on as I am writing this post. I've never been a fan of boxing. But from as far as I can remember, I have been watching Paquiao's fight here on free TV since he was made known to be the Philippines' pride in boxing.



Before I went here I saw a lot of streamers outside inviting people to watch it in pay-per-view. If you're here in the Philippines, you have to fork over almost $10 on regular establishments like restos and dining halls. It can go as high as $15-$30, depending on the location (and if free meals and drinks are included in the package).

This event also affects some call center operations as they receive a lot of calls in relation to this fight. I even heard some agents talking about their bet and almost everyone seem to be an instant boxing expert as they strongly share their opinions about it.

Let's see if this event will also hit YouTube in the coming days.
Update: Pacquiao won the fight. Check the videos uploaded from YouTube




But what I know now is a lot of people all over the globe are glued on TV, even bloggers, while waiting for the best time to write a blog post in relation to this event.

How about you? Aside from watching international events like Pacquiao-Hatton fight, what triggers you to write a blog post?

Britain's Got Talent has another 'talent' to make money online.

And that is through exposing their 'talents' for the world to appreciate. We have to thank the viewers and other concerned individuals who seemed unstoppable in uploading these videos in YouTube.

Now let's talk about Hollie Steel, the latest face to hit YouTube's viewing traffic. This fragile girl looked like an ordinary girl as she walked to the stage and started to move like, you guessed it from her costume, a ballerina.

But that changes as she opened her mouth and sang her piece. What used to be a 'weak' looking girl became a strong contender for this season of Britain's Got Talent. :) Take a peek on the video from YouTube.





First it was Susan Boyle, then the little cutie Shaheen Jafargholi, now comes Hollie Steel. Who will be the next BGT's darling? Now this is getting a lot more exciting for all of us who follows this BGT's season of great talents.

If You Build It, They Will Come

Now that's a quote from "Fields of Dreams" and it has often been applied to blogging. I encountered one person in a certain forum who is very new to this whole blogging phenomenon. He asked a question as to why is his blog still not getting many traffic (I'm not sure what is his standard of the word 'many') considering that his blog is already 3 months' old.

Three months, do you guys think that is already a good enough time to expect much from a blog? In my opinion it's not enough. And I don't know the details of this fellow's blogging habits but I'm sure that the reason why he is not satisfied is because he set quite a high standard on his blog. His goal might be too hard to reach. Perhaps he's already expecting thousands of regular visitors. But at 3 months, I'd really say dream on.

There is so much work to be done with a blog especially if you expect to earn from it. Number one would be posting valuable content on a regular basis. Valuable content because what good is a blog if all that can be read on it are pure trash? And posting on a regular basis is important because if you fail to update your blog, you will lose your visitors.

That's just my two cents on this blogging topic.
