How Much to Pay for a Wordpress Theme?
This topic is not old nor new in this industry of web design with its sister industry; blog design. That is why while part of the blogosphere was discussing; How much would you for a wordpress theme? at WPDesigner.com, it didn’t drove me into much of a discussion.
The debate of cost is as subjective as a design itself. Many people made of designers, consumers, marketers, managers and directors have their own take of this topic. This is one of the reasons I don’t believe in having a standard cost to my work. The only thing I truly believe is a minimum cost when I’m hired to do a project.

TMNet Could Be Losing 80% of Business
I’m currently at the One Utama, Starbucks Coffee outlet with my lil ol white Apple Macbook. While waiting for my girlfriend, I expected to logon to the free wireless normally provided by Timezone. It was after buying a drink, finding a comfy one seater sofa and sipping on their signature hot chocolate and trying to connect to the Wi-Fi did I notice there wasn’t Time available here. Bummer!
I had 2 options which was to either sign up an Airzed account or a TMNet Hotspot account. Both are premium services and I’ve never really believed in signing up for anyone of it. My reasoning is if you’re a customer, you’re technically ‘paying’ for the usage of their Wi-Fi. Nonetheless I have around 1 hour to kill so I decided to might as well register with one.

Malaysia Politician Contradicts Himself
I can understand the dangers I might be treading on here but the Internet to me is freedom of speech while I’m normally a responsible writer and don’t take actions that could threaten myself. Therefore, in this case it is my personal opinion of why I feel the Internet industry in Malaysia is still slow especially in its content area.
In The Star today, there was an article titled; Don’t quote websites, says Zam. It’s about our current Information Minister advising the newspaper media to not quote websites (or even weblogs) of their content because they are made by “frustrated journalists or frustrated in politics” and that’s a direct quote.

Monitor Website Statistics with Google Analytics
Once upon a time when Google was still offering GMail accounts via invites, they introduced their website statistics application called Google Analytics. If you hadn’t known, this was only after Google purchased the web analytics firm; Urchin. The analytics application was on an invite basis as well and I was one of the lucky ones to get it early.
Ever since I started using Google Analytics to monitor few websites and customer projects, I’ve totally fallen in love with it. The application is not only powerful but it allows me (as a web designer) to track important data. That said, if you only want to get a kick out of the number of daily visitors to your website then Google Analytics will give you a boot later.
