wp-chgfontsize-change font size dynamically

After been ’scold’ many times by readers and commentators , finally 2 weeks ago, I manage to make my self free , to modify the CSS file and increase the font size by 1 pixel

Technically newbie on web development stuff, I have to refreshed my CSS skill that I have left years ago.There is small problem with the template, the CSS simply set similar font size for the whole blog,  so I have to find out which part of code for my left and right sidebar (good they were commented) and put a different font size over there. It doesn’t look good to have sidebars having the same font size with the post. The sidebar too thin and.. I just don’t like it.

Don’t feel bad if you have zero CSS knowledge. By utilizing Wordpress plugin WP-ChgFontSize, you can do the same. In fact, you have control of your blog font size from your Wordpress dashboard (overriding the CSS setup) . At the same time, put the font menu size on the sidebar, and let the readers choose their desired font size.

Wordpress 2.6 scheduled for release July 2008

Barely 2 months after upgrading blogjer’s wordpress version to 2.5.1 , and yet to fix my broken page, Wordpress 2.6 is on it’s way to be released July 7th (tomorrow GMT-5/6) or July 14th.  What are they gonna released? (plus my little comment)

  • Version/revision saves a copy of a post every time you edit it, allows you to view (not edit) each of those copies (revisions), Shows forward (in time) diffs between any two revisions. - love this function especially for post with multiple authors
  • Add paging of Themes in Design panel
  • Word Count displayed when writing and editing posts and pages
  • Press This bookmarklet- cool!! i want this back
  • Add sorting to gallery
  • Export/import post excerpts
  • Theme Previewer- no longer need theme switcher plugin
  • Check (assigned) Categories at top Category box in Write/Manage Post
  • Show when a term is both a tag and a category - for SEO purpose??
  • Wider Profile fields
  • TinyMCE 3.1
  • Two categories can have sub-categories with the same name - ok I want this too

Via jwebdev, I got to know these new features described in more detail manner, thanks!!

Out of all these new features, I hope that the permalink bug for wordpress page introduced on Wordpress 2.5 will be fixed.  I’m not interested to add index.php to my current permalink structure (/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/) if I want to stick with it. It made it looks rather long (and ugly)

June 2008 round up post

Ahh… I late 1 day again.

This month, I’ve posted 41 posts, the most since May last year. I brake my own record! Yeah and congrats to myself.  I write more about wordpressla, techla, newsla , no more about make money online or blog about blogging as I used to. Change style (tukar angin) . Not a total change, but merely testing the market

As promised on my previous post, I’ll giving away a t-shirt to whoever become June’s top commentator . Treng teng teng….. it is Azwan Hadzree!! Congrats bro. You’re my loyal reader.

This is also mark the end of top competitor contest. I’m thinking of another contest after this, but it’s not going to be soon. Maybe next year or perhaps another threesome contest. I just don’t know yet. Takde Ilham

As usual here you go the random posts from blogjer commentators (not in order)

Thanks to first time commentator such as Alvin, Aida Yurani, Azmeen, Mike Ruddle, Edrei and everyone that I can’t mention here

70 most popular blogs in Malaysia

I bet you have read it somewhere else. I even got to know about it via MohdIsmail. Syed Syahrul is presenting yet again 70 most popular blogs in Malaysia for 2008 (plus another 29 blogs as a bonus).

This year, he used Alexa rank as a method of building this list, instead of Tecnorati due to the reason he stated in the post. As expected, many bloggers claim that their blogs are not listed (as shown on the comment section) even though they has better rank. Well, keep in mind, that this is 70 most popular blogs. Popularity is subjective and it can be interpreted in any way the author desires.

At a glance, the list consist of blogs with variety of topics from technology, politic, fun, make money online, travel and etc. IMHO, The top 10 list is pretty accurate, except that it has missed out Raymond.cc, a popular tech blog. Anyway, I’m not in the list, but I’m thankful with it as I got to know ‘who’s who’ in Malaysian blog sphere. I applaud his effort of making this list which is not easy, and definitely requires a lot of resources.

Aside from this list, I came across Top 100 Australia blogs, a few days back. The major difference between these 2 lists is, instead of relying on 1 variable such as Alexa or Technorati, it calculates the ranking based on formula derived from few variables. While many still claim this to be inaccurate (there is no real formula to measure the popularity of millions websites around the world except perhaps only to 10 or top 100), but at least it has taken a measure of using more sources.

Few areas that need consideration:

  • This is gonna be popular later, so make this list permanent in 1 permanent URL, with past ranking archived
  • Update it more frequent (this is tough)
  • Use more variables such as mentioned above. It’s gonna make this list more accurate thus less argued. Yeah, everyone wants to be in the list.

Keep it up Syahrul

Last t-shirt up for grabs is open to everyone

I should have posted this earlier, but I had purposely waited at the very last minute to surprise you and who is truly a commentator here.

To refresh back what is this all about, on January, I organized the Top Commentator contest, whereby the top commentator on blogjer will receive a t-shirt. The contest runs from January - June 2008.

Initially, the past winners are not eligible to win another t-shirt for the next month contest, even though he still becomes the top commentator for the coming months. But today I had made up my mind, to open this contest to everyone, including the past winners such as Raymond, Izat (is your blog down?) and his girlfriend, Azwan, Dekan and Catzer (your t-shirt is in process by vendor). Do you mind to see them win it again?

I’m not sure what kind of tshirt it would be, but rest assured it would be the best (but doesn’t mean expensive). I came across a couple of nice t-shirts overseas (tech related blog), but I haven’t had the chance to survey how much the shipping cost would be.

So far, all winners are from Malaysia, but keep in mind that this contest is open to everyone and from anywhere. There is no border limit, even if you’re from Iraq, Maldives or even Artic as long as there is postal service over there. This rules out aliens from space since no postal service extends their service to that place, yet.

Enough said, keep it going okay. See ya’ll July 1st.

psttt.. I had just done the makeover to my tshirt blog, it looks better now. I’ll keep posting more consistently over there. Cheers
