Blogging – Random Detox

Goodbye Geocities!

October 27, 2009 Blogging by Flisha 2 Comments

I created my first website in 1999. That was the year the Internet was introduced to me. The very same year I fell in love with the Internet. I poured my heart out online through static pages. I drafted my HTML through Notepad. I crafted my graphics through downloaded image...

The Tide Turns at Entrecard

July 26, 2009 Blogging by Flisha 2 Comments

Wow. The reign of Graham Langdom over at Entrecard has finally come to a close. Entrecard has been sold to ZipRunner Inc, and a woman named Cindy is now writing the blogs. Entrecard’s been a train wreck the past few months (or has it been a year already?), a lot...

Blogger Comment Preview Cuts Off Word Verification Box

July 11, 2009 Blogging by Flisha 9 Comments

Stumbled upon a new Blogger issue today. I’d rolled out a few posts and my friend Heidee wanted to post a comment. Alas, she could not, because she could not find the word verification input box. Here is the screenshot she sent: As you can see, the verification word is...

Label Feeds in Blogger

February 4, 2009 Blogging, Tutorial by Flisha 2 Comments

I am sure many Blogger users out there admire the myriad plugins and functionalities of WordPress. I am one of those admirers. I especially like that there’s a WordPress plugin for category feeds, or label feeds. It’s not immediately apparent that the same is available in Blogger, since it’s never...

Philippine Proposal Requires License of Bloggers (Full Text)

January 22, 2009 Blogging by Flisha 4 Comments

Is the Philippine government trying to tax bloggers? That seems to be the case, judging from an inconspicuous proposal posted on the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) website. Here is the crux of the matter. They want everyone on the Internet to register through them… Contents, Information, Applications and/or Electronic...

Searching for a Host Provider

November 15, 2008 Blogging by Flisha Leave a Comment

Ever since I verified my Paypal account, I started investing in domain names. A domain name gives credibility and remeberability (if that’s even a word!) to your site. I used to have this super long URL: RandomDetoxification.blogspot.com. I had it for about three years, but my friends could never...

An Ad Network for the Philippines

September 9, 2008 Blogging by Flisha 7 Comments

So far, there is Asia Century Multi-Advertising (terrible interface, incessant login problems) and AuctionPH (terribly low commission fees – P6 for an actual purchase!). Now comes Nuffnang Philippines, created by Timothy Tiah and Cheo Ming Shen. Judging from interface and features alone, I think this ad network will blow...

Adsense Strange Behavior

July 17, 2008 Blogging by Flisha 7 Comments

Hmmm… This strange Google ad replaced my normal Google adsense today. It’s normally supposed to look like the ad links that you see above. I left Firefox and viewed my page in IE and it was still there. I refreshed the page in Firefox and it went back the normal...

My New Entrecard Image

If you’re not seeing me around Entrecard anymore, it doesn’t mean I’m not there. I’ve just made myself a new card! Hehehe. Melanie in my Shoutbox said she saw me all over EC. Then Wind Mill said I’m on her badge. Hehehe. Truth is, I’ve been advertising heavily on EC...
