Hello fellow netizens!

Rounded corners have their uses but sometimes we need to go back to simple blocky designs. Swift comes with rounded corners implemented through CSS in the navigation or menu areas. However, you can see that Bulalo has no soft, rounded corners anywhere.
So, how do we remove the rounded corners from the nav bars? Satish, creator of Swift, was kind enough to provide the following instructions:
1. Go to Style.CSS, find and remove the following code under NAVIGATION STYLES:

#nav1{ -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomright:10px;
-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius:10px;
-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius:10px;}
#nav2,#commentform label.comment,h4.postcomment{ -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px;
-moz-border-radius-topright:10px;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius:10px;
-webkit-border-top-right-radius:10px;}

2. Replace with the following code:

#commentform label.comment,h4.postcomment{ -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px;
-moz-border-radius-topright:10px;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius:10px;
-webkit-border-top-right-radius:10px;}

The Style.CSS is accessible via CPanel. It is found directly within the Swift theme folder. We didn’t delete the original code though. Simply commented it out (putting the code between “/*” and “*/” like this ==> /*– code here –*/) in case we wanted rounded corners again.

Easy as pie! Try Swift now! Download it here.

CRAP or NOT?

Hello fellow netizens.

There were a lot of changes with this blog. First was the new domain (we were formerly ReapMoneyOnline) and then this new theme we are in. Took us some time to find the theme that we feel will meet the needs of this blog and its readers. We wanted something simple, we wanted something easy, and we wanted something fast! We got Swift!

Swift is a newcomer to the free WordPress theme scene and, truthfully, it isn’t perfect, yet. However, the beauty of this theme lies not in maturity or being feature-filled but in the complete support of its creator, Satish, to Swift users.

Satish actively solicits ideas from Swift users, incorporating them into future revisions of the theme, without losing sight of the goal of making it the fastest and easiest theme to customize. Swift, therefore, has the potential to be THE bloggers’ theme of choice.

Nuff said, see for yourself. Download Swift here and visit the support forum here.

Is this post crap or not?

Hello fellow netizens!

There’s a new study by the Online Publishers Association or OPA that says web users spend 42% of their time online on content sites. OPA segregated all sites into 5 groups: Commerce, Communications, Community, Content, and Search.

Commerce sites include the like of Amazon and eBay. Examples of communication sites are Yahoo mail and Gmail. Popular community sites include MySpace and Facebook. Search is, of course, represented by Google and Yahoo Search. Content sites are what make up most of the web with giants such as wikipedia, CNN, and NatGeo leading this highly diverse category.

Here’s the breakdown of the time spent by surfers in the 5 categories:

1. Content = 42%
2. Communication = 27%
3. Community = 13%
4. Commerce = 13%
5. Search = 5%

People’s habit of reading content sites was quite a jump from 34% in 2003. The study suggests that the trend is most likely to continue in the future.

Bottomline, people are reading content sites like blogs. We are right where the action is. If anybody wants to try and earn some money online, the general agreement is to develop a topic we are passionate about.

Opinions?

Opera was my first browser back when everybody was still on IE and Netscape. I transfered to FireFox when I started dabbling with making money online about 3 years back due to its extensive plugin resources.

Opera was always known for innovations. Tabbed browsing was what made me adopt it instead of IE. Again, Opera engineers were busy doing their stuff in the lab for the latest version of Opera. They call it Opera Unite but it’s more than a name.

I took the Release Candidate of version 10 for a few minutes and there’re indeed a lot of difference under the hood. The main thing is Opera is no longer simply a browser but also a web/ftp server of sort (there might be a technical term for this).

Take a peek at Opera 10 here.

Do you think it will change the way we interact in the web? Or will it be a colossal failure?

Before going on with the free social networking scripts, let us determine first the social network requirements. We usually need a blogging component, some profile page a la MySpace, and a forum of sort for community discussion. We should look for these capabilities in a social networking script.

An old hand, and therefore proven and tested to be stable, at social networks is the free script elgg. It started out as university project to get the professors and students connected. It is now one of the most popular social network script.

A recent newcomer is BuddyPress, based on the popular multi-blogging platform Wordpress-MU. Coming from the creators of WordPress, BuddyPress will soon be up there with the rest of the free scripts in popularity.

Finally, if we have some web development talents, we can always tweak and customize a Drupal installation into a social network. Drupal is an extremely versatile and powerful Content Management System (CMS).

Actually, the most difficult part of building an online social network is finding our niche and getting members to join.

Bayan kong Mahal

Ako ay Pilipino
Buong katapatang nanunumpa
Sa watawat ng Pilipinas
At sa bansang kanyang sinasagisag
Na may dangal, katarungan at kalayaan
Na ipinakikilos ng sambayanang
Maka-Diyos, Makakalikasan,
Makatao at,
Makabansa.

I am a Filipino
I pledge my allegiance
To the flag of the Philippines
And to the country it represents
With honor, justice and freedom
That is put in motion by one nation
For the love of God, nature,
people and
Country.

THANK YOU GOOGLE!

Everyone is talking about Twitter these days and you might have heard about people who are making money with this free service. This is true. You really can make money online with Twitter.

In case you didn’t know, Twitter is, as they call it, “…a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?”. This is what makes it different from other social websites and a gold mine for people who want to promote their business, website or want to make money online.

Many of you are probably wondering “How can this service make me money?” Well, as I said, you can promote your businesses and bring in more clients, promote your money making website, or generate leads to affiliate links directly and make money that way.

The secret to a successful money-making endeavor is getting followers who will read you’re tweets. The usual way to do this is by following other people and hope they will return the favor. Another  way to gain followers is by adding a “Follow Me On Twitter” button on your website. However, if you don’t have the time but have the money, there are paid services out there that promise a large volume of followers for a fee.

Important Note: Not all accounts are real. What I mean by this is … a lotsof other people have made accounts that have been automated by robots or third party services like http://tweetlater.com or http://twitterfeed.com .

On the other hand, these are good services you can use to automate some of your tweeting. Like for example: Twitterfeed.com will make a tweet with the link to every new post on your blog. And TweetLater.com will allow you to send direct messages to people who have started following you, allowing you to build a relationship with those people. Building relationships is the most important aspect of social media marketing. It does not have to be something very personal but just enough to make people trust you and take note of what you tweet.

In the end I would like to point out that Twitter is a great service, it is free and most of all it can make you a lot of money if you use it correctly. Cheers to all and happy tweeting.

BlogCatalog, Heifer International, and the blogosphere will focus attention  on the plight of the hungry today, April 29, 2009, with the theme Hunger and Hope. This reminded us of an article at National Geographics we stumbled into last year about the poor in Haiti resorting to eating mud cookies to stave off those twisty little prickly pains that happen when our stomach parts start grinding on each other.

We used to make mud cookies and mud pies when we were little kids but never did it crossed our minds to eat them. Although there were times when we did “taste” those cookies when our parents weren’t looking. But in Haiti, man, the cookies were staple.

More than a year later, the mud cookies are still in the news. Dirt-poor Haitians still rely on them to remedy hunger pangs. HaitiAction.net has an article entitle “Mud Cookie economics in Haiti” that permits us a glimpse why hope for the hungry in this country might only exist in hunger-enduced deleriums.

We found the following photos of  Haitians making the infamous mud cookies at Lelong News:

There was an inquiry at Yahoo Answers if this is true. We can’t exactly remember the words but one of the replies went this way, “People are eating Mud Cookies in Haiti, please help anyway way YOU can.” Shouldn’t it be, “help anyway WE can?”
