Install Wordpress in root or /blog folder?

I noticed that several of our top local bloggers use the /blog folder to install their WordPress. I thought that to be odd. Then I realise many automatic WordPress installation provided by webhosts install them in the /blog folder. Personally, I prefer www.liewcf.com instead of www.liew.com/blog, don’t you? For one thing, /blog just adds unnecessary […]

Blog competition results

The biggest highlight for this blog last year was the one-month blog competition between AndrewOoi.com and TwoSuperheroes in November. Somehow looking through my old posts I forgot to mention that I won in the end. However, that’s not the reason for this post.

The two tickets I sent to Michelle […]

Wikis can make money too!

I started my Malaysia Wiki  (http://malaysia.maribelajar.com) as a for-fun-web-project to learn more about Wikis. However a detail check with my Adsense dashboard reveals that it has surpassed my 2 main blog sites.
Both blogs are about chess and they usually get more traffic and Adsense clicks compared to the wiki. A few months ago that […]

Cloverfield

This is the JJ Abrams super hyped up movie in the vein of Snakes on a Plane in 2006 with the full force of internet viral marketing being used. Thankfully I have to say that the movie is not as overhyped as Snakes on a Plane. In other words it was not that disappointing to […]

Serious work at Starbucks?

Starbucks has just opened in Pearl Point, Old Klang Road. That’s 10-minutes walk from where I stay. Everytime I pass the place, the busy body in me gets curious with what those coffee drinkers are doing with Starbucks WiFi facilities.
One local magazine mentioned that serious work do take place here. Perhaps one day I’ll do […]
