After reading a bunch of posts about the WordCamp last Saturday, I’ve decided that writing my own post might be a little redundant. If you wanna know my experience at the first WordCamp Philippines, you can read the posts written by Mae and Tina. I was with them the whole day so what happened to [...]
Today, I did two WordPress-related things. First, I upgraded my blog to version 2.6 — thanks to Dreamhost for making this easier for me with just one click — and I registered for the 1st WordCamp Philippines, an event brought to us by the Mindanao Bloggers. When I found out this morning that I have [...]
You know how you try to write your blog entries off line first before you publish the thing to the web? Well, say goodbye to Notepad and Word doc, and hello to Windows Live Writer. This baby allows you to blog from your desktop without having to connect to the Internet. You can use it [...]
As you can probably tell (or not), I’ve been very busy lately. It’s been a hectic last two weeks at my regular job and my part-time job. It’s no big deal, I like being busy. Just not when I’m already getting sick due to exhaustion — which I almost was a few days ago. I’m [...]
How do you respond when you’re asked this question: “So, when are you going to blog about [insert topic here]?” I find it funny every time someone asks me that. It’s like that person knows exactly what’s going on in my head and what I’m thinking of blogging next. Like I’m transparent or something. And [...]

I knew that I should test it locally or in a demo site first before I actually upgrade my blog, but I couldn’t resist clicking on the “Upgrade to 2.3″ link on my Dreamhost panel when the new WordPress version finally became available yesterday. It wasn’t just because I couldn’t wait to see the features [...]
I think I caught a wisp of Mae’s temporary blogger’s block thus the lack of new entries. How long has it been since my last post? Anyway I decided that this blog needs an overhaul. I’ve been working on this layout since last week but because I’m finally paying the price of my being in [...]
If you have a host account and you’re looking into keeping and developing your blog for long term use, then WordPress is the way to go. Why? Off the top of my head, here are things I could think of: Since WordPress is Open-Source, it is FREE! Just go to their website, download the latest [...]
Two days ago, I (along with some visitors) encountered an error on the comments section of this blog. The error appeared this way: WordPress database error: [Can't open file: 'wp_comments.MYI' (errno: 144)] SELECT * FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_post_ID = ’331′ AND comment_approved = ’1′ ORDER BY comment_date And because I’m actually very ignorant when it [...]
