Project Petaling Street In Your Face

As usual, out of the blue something is thrown right in your face without intention of harm. However, though as much I’d like to be happy for PPS, Aizuddin, and others who’ve worked hard in making it better..I am honestly not very happy.

There isn’t any harm throwing a huge surprise to the audience. But when it concerns the user interface which in return will reflect heavily on the usability of a website, I can’t rest at ease to see something I looked highly upon has somehow lost its touch.

Happy 48th Birthday Malaysia

The past whole week not I’ve been busy setting up the Merdeka Blogger Project. I’ve also been busy coordinating with my team on what needed to be done. Along the way, I’ve had feedback from authors that we lack few things. But the needs have been resolved already.

As much as I’d like to be blogging solely about Merdeka Day and the celebration we’ll all be having in the next 5 minutes, I’d just like to shout a big thank you to all bloggers who saw the potential in this project. You’ve helped make this happen and gave us the confidence to not breakdown and go mad.

Merdeka Blogger Project LAUNCHED

Whew! It’s been 4-5 days and Claire has been chasing my tail to get the project up and running as soon as possible. So basically she’s my excuse of not posting for quite awhile now. LoL!

But it’s finally out and it’s gone live. I’m still quite disappointed with the layout cause I know I could’ve done better somewhere somehow. But given the shortage in time and sudden change of the project concept a little, I suppose I should be happy it’s working. And I didn’t do it alone..thank goodness.

The Extended Post for Blogspot

Recently I received an email from a fellow reader (I think) and he wanted to know how some users made a ‘read more’ link to their entry. If you’re using WordPress (WP) or MovableType (MT) or any other stand-alone publishing engine, there normally is an Entry Body and Extended Entry section when typing a post.

WP and MT have built-in codes to generate the ‘read more’ link for you. However, for Blogspot users, they only have the Entry Body to put up their post and by default, the whole post is published on the homepage.

Be a Merdeka Blogger

After the visit to London by ol’ Tunku Abdul Rahman, many Malayan (not known as Malaysian yet) gathered at the Merdeka Stadium awaiting words they long to be uttered ever since their soil was visited by foreign power. These words made into phrases was to congratulate them of their country spirit and declaration for the country’s independence from the British empire.

That day was on 31st August 1957; where Tunku Abdul Rahman stood on a podium with several other British officers seated behind him facing the abrupt Malayan crowd. When his speech had ended, he shouted this word continuously that is now one of the most celebrated words of our country.

He shouted, “MERDEKA! MERDEKA! MERDEKA!”

(mer-de-ka is the Malayan translation for freedom).
