New theme

Not configured yet. Will need some time to do so. Endure with the hideous look for a while.

Upgrade… Done!

Upgrading is done.

Love the new admin interface.

Will clean up the mess soon.

Upgrading My WordPress

My WordPress version is super outdated.

I really really need to update.

I’m doing the upgrading soon. If you’re experiencing weird things in my blog, I apologize.

Shall finish by tomorrow.

Screw you “South East Asia Ad Networks” that’s (supposedly) giving me money

If you people have been reading my blog for some time, you can know that I’m pretty much quiet and neutral in blogosphere (or rather narcissistic). And I’m generally a calm person. I seldom got angry.

When people started to flame Nuffnang for the SGD 1 thingy and the unavailibility of ads and many many other things, I kept quiet. I signed up for Nuffnang quietly and removed their ads quietly too when it didn’t make me a single cent while tainting my blog with their “funny” and childish images about making money from blog (what freaking money??).

Saw posts about Advertlets and signed up (also quietly) for it. Put the ads alongside Nuffnang’s ads and it made some money (like, 9 SGD worth of money. Not even enough to buy nice nice food).

So I said bye bye to Nuffnang ads and put more and more Advertlets ads.. I even tried to put more ads intact in my posts so that it will get more impressions and then…..

And then they screwed. Real bad. Their domain name expired and by some intricate programming (maybe the javascript?) my website was also redirected to the parking site. Just by having mere ads that made me 9 SGD worth of money. And I can’t even edit my advertlets ads since I put in on my post and when I tried to edit those posts.. The live preview feature in WordPress will attempt to display the ads and… I’m getting redirected again.

Just when I thought it will give me more money.

And then, what? Nuffnang gives some exclusive account thingy? Glittery thingy? Like, duh? Exclusive ads? You mean exclusive of paying ads?

I’m not willing to give up my revenue by other ad networks for nearly impossible opportunity to get money from Nuffnang. Like, duh? Ain’t that kinda logical? As simple as that.

And I don’t want to risk my blog getting redirected to some freaky parking site. Again.

So I’m saying just two short things. Goodbye and screw you, Nuffnang and Advertlets. Keep fighting like little children, and you’ll lose everything. I’ll just say, remember the customers, not the competitors.

And keep my earnings, Advertlets. I don’t want it. Maybe you can use it to renew your domain name next year.

Ping.Sg Advertisement – Meet Sylv

First off, the picture was edited using MS Paint so no complaints about quality will be accepted!

Will fix it after I hook up with more advanced image editing software.

Neeway, cris urged us to make a ping.sg advertisement, with the requirements being :

Size: 600 X 450 pixels
Font: Microsoft Sans Serif, 36, Strong
Font Colour: White
Phrase: Meet XXX. He/She just got Pinged. Have you?

A Ping.sg logo must always be at the top your picture because you are helping to advertise Ping.sg.

The source picture here. (Right-click and save as)

Sorry, I didn’t really meet all the requirements. For instance, 36 font looked so enormous and hideous on my picture.

So prepare yourself! Here’s mine…

Get $2!

Stumbled upon this from ping.sg. Since I’m kinda broke right now because of my impulsive shopping activity, here goes..
