Adsense Preview Tool

When building a new weblog or website, the common ads you’ll want to put is Google’s Adsense.

Also, it’s only after approval that you can see what kind of ads will be hosted based on your site’s content.

Well, here’s a handy dandy tool I picked up from Sitepoint.

The Daily Blog Read Meme

Allow me to first explain that a meme isn’t the same as ‘mei mei’, which in Chinese means little sister. A meme in blog talk is an idea or project that’s shared through other bloggers normally through recommendation. However, there is no harm in anyone picking it up and running it on their own.

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).

Copyscape

Is a website that has been developed for plagiarism searching. I, myself couldn’t believe it till I went there. I don’t really understand how do they scan the Internet after entering your URL but it’s quite a nifty toy to plan online if you’re bored. :P Try it out, HERE.

ZoomQuilt

Is all about a collaboration of a total of 45 artists. Then later one person stitched them altogether. Now, you might be thinking that when I meant it’s like a long panoramic kinda thing.. HAH! But you are wrong, try imagining zooming into the picture on and on like an infinite loop. :D I’m serious, … Read more
