Blogging For Money

Blogging For Money is back up again after an unexpected server outage disrupted our server and caused a hard disk corruption which caused all data (including this blog) to be lost. So I did the rather hard and thankless task of reinstalling WordPress and restoring the previous database to the blog. Fortunately there is still a latest copy of this blog lying around, and although posts that were made before the server outage is now irrecoverable they were rather too unimportant to worry about. I have even decided to use a magazine-styled theme, Forte from Moses Francis.

Testing a video which I took for YouTube via its Quick Capture feature.

Last Saturday there was a gathering at the Starbucks Coffee outlet in KL Sentral, organised for bloggers and webmasters who are members of Webmaster Malaysia, a Malaysian webmasters forum. The event is organised by Exabytes who are also the owners for the forum. It was a very interesting event and I actually get to meet several people whom I have known for months and years online, but never really met in person. I met LiewCF in the flesh, chummed with Zeo and even get to meet the blogging behind Undebug, who turned out to be a fellow college-mate.

More photos of the event can be viewed here.

Some months ago, an arrogant (and dare I say, asshole) blogger whom I am loathe to name once referred to yours truly as “that unemployed blogger”. I’ve been waiting for the right time to buy this so when I was at Gurney Plaza on Sunday (and it so happens that on the same day, my old Nokia 1110 failed on me), I decided to snap this up at RM1.3K + RM99 for the 1GB miniSD flash card.

Now here is my new toy.

I don’t think “unemployed” people can afford this tool anyway. So here’s my middle finger showing at that aforementioned blogger whom I am loathe to name. Hah!

I’ve decided that I am going to merge all my online ventures into a single company. So I am going to the ROB on Monday to register my new company. Shouldn’t cost me too much, since it is only a company on paper. But after I have registered the company name, I will buy a new domain where I will display all my online ventures in a portfolio. Perhaps this whole thing is unnecessary, but since I deal with online clients all the time it would be good to show some measure of credibility, instead of the client seeing you as some random faceless stranger. I even have the company logo (see above). Actually the company name (founded in 1996) in the logo once belonged to my dad, but has now since become bungkus because of the Asian financial crisis of 1998 (and I blame Rafisuah Aziz for causing my father to go bankrupt).

Long story behind it.

Somehow I managed to make it to Starbucks at Jusco Balakong last Saturday to meet up with fellow money-making bloggers, Louiss, Michael Woo and Ricko Liew. We discused many things ranging from blogging to SEO to how to withdraw from PayPal (even some bad experiences with PayPal…heh!) and our core business online. It was really a great meeting of minds and I really enjoyed it. I hope there will be another meet in the future, with even more members I hope
