New Blog

I've registered a new blog on wordpress but I'm still tinkering about with the theme and learning/trying to get used to the dashboard settings, having been so used to blogger's dashboard.  Wordpress does offer a few features that I like that I think (I'm not sure) blogger doesn't have.  Or should I just stick to blogger? Hee...I'm just too lazy to go to the help page and read the faqs on setting up on wordpress. So it's just trial and error for now - isn't everything?

What's the new blog about?  Currently, the idea to write about the 3Ms we learnt in school - Menulis, Membaca dan Mengomel!   hehe...i.e. Writing, Reading and Speaking! All of which I am quite passionate about. Also slightly inspired by a recent re-viewing of the movie Julie & Julia, which I love.  Yes, I want to be the next Julie Powell!  But no posts yet and I won't tell you the url yet, until I sort out the theme and actually start writing something.  But since I'm quite easy and transparent, you probably maybe can guess the url pun..haha..

On another note, if you are thinking of starting a new blog.. you may want to consider registering one on www.sabahblog.com The site offers free and paid blog hosting just like Blogger and Wordpress, with multiple choice of themes and add ons available.  The site was designed and developed by my old friend Victor, also known (in the blogging/online world) as Gaman.  He is based in Sabah and as the call sign implies, is a true and true Sabahan.  So, if you want to support a local talented web developer and entrepreneur - register on sabahblog.com and lets your friends know about it! Oh yes, I've registered another blog on his site as well..heee tamak kan :) Check it out and spread the word ya!

I was blogging at Blogspot since 2004 and upon switching to Wordpress, I never looked back (and wish I had discovered it earlier!

My favourite feature on Wordpress that Blogspot doesn't have is, it tells me a new comment is for which post and which blog / link referred and mentioned my link (which explains 'In blissful wonderment' :D)

But be warned that, free Wordpress doesn't allow HTML coding so no YouTube, Nuffnang banners etc unless you host the Wordpress on your own server (self dot com).

Happy trying!
