I will be away to Indonesia until 10 Sept, since my computer is down at home due to dead pixel on my lg monitor (L1952s). Tomorrow will be Malaysia 50th Independence Day and I would not be coming to office.

Feeling pretty lost as I have no computer to work with for quite a long period of time, and I don’t know how I am going to last.

Thinking of it, blogging is becoming pretty addictive, I tend to like reading around for information and updates so that I am able to get knowledge to update my blog. Somedays, I would read and read but no ideas coming out of my brain.

Anyway, take care all of you out there. I shall see you when I am back.

Jaiku is actually a blogging platform where you could add your friends, family and joining channels. You could share them with your friends and family, or let it be public. It is actually more of a microblogging platform.

Posting on your profile could also be done via your mobile phone. Which is why they will ask for your mobile number during registration but this step could be skipped.

I am actually new to this and the function currently seems limited but sufficient to simply blog and connect with your friends. But Jaiku have release their API, which means more third party function will be added to it very soon.

The Jaiku badges is also installed on this blog. As you see, because I am pretty early, I manage to register http://makemoneyonline.jaiku.com. If you joined, remember to add me in your contacts.

For all those who would like to start their own blog or transfer their blog from some free hosting (blogspot, wordpress.com), it is actually a great idea.

Why I don’t start with blogspot?
You may be able to add adsense, mybloglog, textlinkads and other javascript or embeded code into your blogspot, there is always limitation on what you can do. Unlike wordpress, you could add tones of ready made plugins and there is always the option to programe your own plugins.

With a lot of automization plugins like adsense deluxe (adding adsense into a post is never easier), akismet (come standard with wordpress to prevent SPAM), Google Sitemap Generator, and much more useful plugins depending on your needs.

Wordpress is a better management of your content, theme, user, post and plugins.
Wordpress actually quite a good range of functions but at the same time, it is easy to use. There is no need to use the extra function if you choose not to use them. Function such as post timestamp (to write post for future), category, trackback and categories is always useful to making a good post.

Also there is a good blogroll management, which you could organize link into categories (although some theme may not support it). Unlike blogspot, there is no need to edit the templates to add/delete a link.

Support
Wordpress is so widely used, therefore there is a huge cummunity contributing to the stability, security and growth of Wordpress. There is also a good support forum for wordpress.

You could try wordpress function by signing up at Wordpress.com, you would need one to activate your akismet too.

You could download the latest Wordpress.

A minor update on the status of this website. Another 4 days pass and it is recorded 3,785,880 on 26th.

It seems to be on track since my last update on Alexa ranking.

Now you could embed google map to forums, blog post, website by just copying and pasting the link provided.

All you have to do is to click on “Link to this page” on the top right of the map. Then you copy the embed link.

Here is the closest look at Klang, Malaysia. We could only see the Klang river flowing into the ocean. Most cities in US have much more closer look, even upto the building and some cars.
