Posts filed under 'Site Updates'
My weekend is starting early this week. I’m off this Friday. I’ll be sleeping all day and go see Nick Cage’s latest blockbuster. Tonight I updated my collections again after receiving my latest acquisitions. Slight cosmetic modfication on the site are apparent in that page. If you’re not attentive enough on this site, then it’s the image caption. I’ve never used image captions before because they weren’t formatted properly, but tonight I had the fortitude to add the format in here. I’ve been using Chrome and I notice that some formats aren’t working properly. I’ll be working on it little by little.
I’ve been reading blogs lately and I realized that I used to “want” to write in Filipino, but now I don’t want to pursue that. It’s too difficult to read Filipino and I’m not amused by it especially if the piece is written informally. I’ll keep writing in English instead and improve my style.
Ciao!

My hyperlinks are becoming longer, so I had them categorized once again hoping to organize them according to their corresponding niche. As a result, I was able to divide them into four groups. I have the ASSOCIATED WEB STOP which are the sites (not necessarily blogs) of people I personally know. Then comes the BLOGROLL which contains blogs of people I don’t personally know, but I have keen interest on their topics. SHIRT SHOP is where worthy t-shirt online stores are found and lastly the MISCELLANEOUS HYPERLINKS that carry any kind of web site that does not belong in the other three.

Right, so I hardly do this kind of things. I’m out of topic, so I guess I’ll report my earnings for this blog. The site is not well optimized, so the numbers are very low. I only average $100/month and with the traffic I’m getting, I should be able to at least double that, but I’m not going to submerge my content with advertising. I’m a bit slow last July and this month which I think was caused by the lack of subject in my entries and the change in theme. When I switched back to Blix, my average $3/day earning returned. So without further adeu…

Okay, here we go. You may have noticed drastic changes in the site. It looks more crowded than the previous one. Don’t worry, an upgraded version of the old one will return. For now, let me enjoy the pinkish motif. I love the header so much that it compliments the site’s name.
Over the weekend, I finally had my first entry at Tech Blog Philippines. I’ve been looking for a topic for nearly a month and I finally found it yesterday. I don’t intend to write regularly there, but I will formulate a better piece next time I come across an interesting gadget.
This morning, I took my learner’s permit exam for a motorcycle license and I passed. I’m going to take the rider’s course later this month or early next month once I’m fully geared up. I have to do this before the winter starts. Then save for a bike for next summer. I’ve been eyeing a Ducati Monster for a few years now.
Tonight, before catching up with a late entry before midnight strikes, I cleaned up my Friendster list. I deleted a few accounts which are duplicate and/or have been dormant for a few weeks.

I’ve been following the Wordpress 2.6 pre-release builds and when I woke this morning, the admin panel was urging me to upgrade. I didn’t have time to do it this morning, but I checked out the video that the people from Automattic made. I didn’t notice any changes that could affect the site, so I upgraded my two sites a few minutes ago. I find that there are outstanding upgrades in the admin panel especially the plugins section. It makes sense to separate the active and inactive plugins because sometimes I’m confused if I’m upgrading (I also like a flag telling me I have a number of plugin updates) an active plugin. Selective activation/deactivation is also an awesome addition. There is revision trail, so that’s exciting. Wordpress is becoming a more sophisticated word processing software it seems.
Anyway, for those who are afraid to upgrade, I’m telling you it’s safe. You gotta love the word count also. Another awesome feature.

I feel cocky tonight, so I’ll present you with deceiving stats for this web site. I intentionally cropped the graphs to have 400px width so that they won’t mess up the layout of the web site. Giving, of course, the sample containing the highest peak.
If you see a graph, do not conclude immediately. You need more information in order to understand the situation — the behavior of the sample. Statistics is widely used now to give us false information. Every morning you will hear these information in the news. Researchers taking down stats and most of us make facts out of these samples. That’s why I hate the medical field so very much because of its dependence to stats.
Below is a Wordpress blogstat graph. Even though I’m showing a sample with the higest peak, blogstat shows that this is a typical activity for this site. That’s an average of 1000 visits. Blogstat does not compute according to a visitor’s uniqueness. So you may think that I’m bored every day and since I have no life, I visit the site 1000 or so times in order to see a graph looking like this.
You thought wrong! Below is a graph from Google Analytics. It’s really a boring graph because it’s nearly constant (almost a straight line). The graph below (the Y-axis has an interval of 1000 visitors) is showing an average of 1000 UNIQUE visitors daily. That proves the graph above to be legitimate.
Why then did I entitle this entry “Deceiving…”? Well, I intentionally omitted relevant information. The information I omitted do not affect the result of the graphs above, but they do affect the understanding of how the site is doing.
