I’ve finally moved these two sub-blogs back to their own full-domain site. It just didn’t seem that things were working out on InvestorBlogger Dot Com. Having minor blogs like those just didn’t seem to be adding much to the blogs main site, and was destroying any intrinsic value they had in their own right. So I [...]

Yes, there really is one. Thanks for the link! Thanks, Donncha.

If you are unfortunate enough to not have access to a tool or plugin to automatically ping your sitemaps on your site for you, you can still do this manually, and it’s pretty effective. A good example of this is a static site which doesn’t have the content update very often.  Simply prepare a simple [...]

One of the great ways to generate interest in your blog is via one of the many traffic generating sites that are available. However, not all of them are very good. In fact, I’ve had little success with several so here’s my top list of traffic generators that work vs. those that don’t.

I’ve decided to see if I can’t get a small group of bloggers together initially in Taipei one Saturday afternoon to discuss blogging and make some connections… I’m planning to make this a regular thing with a chance to socialise, present topics and discuss issues related to blogging (it’s going to be relaxed and informative, I [...]

With Christmas just around the corner, it’s getting tough in this economic environment to justify spending a lot of money on anything other than the essentials: rent, food, fuel and clothes. With Christmas just a short month of shopping days left, parents everywhere are scratching their heads wondering what gifts are affordable and desirable [...]

When we were away on our travels, we really had a good time, and we found that Taiwan is really a place for enjoying yourself. For better or worse, we used our credit cards to pay the hotel fees. It was just so much more convenient and we’ll earn the points. But I failed to have [...]

This is a short checklist of items that I created when I was setting up a friend’s new blog. It’s pretty much all the tweaks, I make to a standard install of Wordpress that I use. Once you have created your admin user: 1). Login and set the password to something you can remember! 2). Update any pre-installed [...]

With Christmas around the corner, and a season of festive blogging ahead of us, as I stare at the screen with my dirty lenses, I’m beginning to wonder if a new set of lenses and frames mightn’t be the answer to my squinting at the screen. It was something I was first aware of driving [...]

Even in a recessionary period, we need to eat. The next company reminds us of traditional products, keeps new ones coming and delivers value along the ‘food’ chain. Only recently was it spun off from its much bigger (and more troubled) brother, we’re looking at a company that can be found in many millions of [...]

It must be the one question that many wannabe-bloggers are asking themselves. I know one friend who just didn’t know anywhere else apart from Blogger itself. But if you want to have a real blog, Blogger is just not the best place to start. Even if it is the most obvious. If you are deciding to [...]

I have published several Google Documents on my Google Account but couldn’t figure out how to publish them ON MY BLOG. Well, there is an easy way to do this, it is an <iframe>. It works simply. Remember to add the width=’x’ and height=’x’ and frameborder= ‘x’ where x is a number of pixels. I usually [...]

I’ve been the owner of three different models of digital camera over the years. My first camera was a disaster: the pictures were fuzzy and low quality. In fact, the only way to get decent pictures was to resize them to a very small size. In fact, the photographs are actually quite reminiscent of photographs [...]

I’ve been doing video for a while, and always found it a pain to transcode videos. Why? I don’t have a Flip camera but I just use the movie mode available for the smaller cameras (my Lumix for example). Unfortunately, I’m not an Apple FanBoy, which makes dealing with those QT movies a really pain [...]

Well, Wordpress 2.7 is just around the corner, yet another upgrade, yet another version that is likely to introduce all the things we love and hate about WordPress New Features and Bugs Take a look… I won’t be in the first wave of upgrades at all. I’ll likely hang around for version 2.7.1 before upgrading unless there’s [...]

Well, it is true,… all good things must come to an end, and just as I ended the summer in Hyde Park in London, then came back to Taiwan… so the last of my summer trip bills are coming due. And the total damage isn’t pretty. So here goes… The bill can be divided into three [...]

When I was in the UK visiting friends near London, they subscribed to Investor’s Chronicle, a UK based financial publication. While we were drinking tea one Saturday afternoon, I picked it up and found it to be quite an informative magazine. It has useful calculators, screeners, columns and company reports for the British market. After being [...]
