I have been playing Car Town for a week now and find it quite interesting as it is related to cars and modification. It is still a very simple game but is quite fun. Anyhow, I was amazed that they are able to land themselves some advertisers. They are not at the side panel or on top of the game where most people will automatically ignore. But they are in the game themselves.

After I click on the lady saying “Check out the new CR-Z!”, it will prompt me this screen

Prompting for the Honda CR-Z showroom, and as expected, we got into the showroom. And finally the showroom. It is quite a smart idea from the Car Town developer team. A whole new Social Media Marketing and Internet Marketing has been created.

If you have a lot of wordpress blogs like me, you will soon discover that you have trouble maintaining them and logging to each on of them to make some updates. I have too many blogs with wordpress and also website that is powered by wordpress. With ManageWP, you can manage multiple wordpress blogs for Free. The controls is quite powerful.

You can control your posts, pages, categories, tags, comments, plugins, themes, updates and users from their control panel. Moreover, there is tabs each time you open up something so you can switch between different blog posting very quickly and update them with one single login.  The control panel basically looks like below.

I have always believe in website uptime affecting our SEO ranking and reduces the return visitor. This is one of the very important criteria when you pick a webhosting and not the price. I am using this service from AreMySitesUp, as poor as many of you out there, I am using the free service with 5 domain name. This is fine with me, the only downside for the free account is that this website will delete inactive users, because I do not need to check the website for my status, I tend not to login to the website.

Anyhow, I think it is a nice service to share. Let me know if you use other service for monitoring your website uptime.

Other than files, you need to also move your database. If you are use to the GUI, you know that there is limitation exporting and importing. This is especially true when you have a large database. Through phpmyadmin, it is also a lot slower compare to method whereby you export large MySQL via SSH.

The command:-

mysqldump -u [username] -p [DB name] | gzip > [dbname].sql.gz

It will prompt for password, type in the password for this access to the database. You will get a file name exactly like what you have typed at the end of above command ([dbname].sql.gz).

Use an ftp program to download the file.

Because the file is compress, you are downloading it even faster, and you can un-compress it on your new webhosting.

To Import the large MySQL

gzip [dbname].sql.gz

then

mysql -u [username] -p [DB name] < [dbname].sql

** If you uses a different username and DB name in your new webhost, use the new value in the bracket

I hope this this will actually make moving your wordpress or your website to another webhosting much easier.
