Get Your Blog Listed in the Million Blog List!

This project is organized by the MillionBlogList.com, with the objective of seeing how long does it take to list 1,000,000 blogs in the site. As mentioned by the organizers:

First off, welcome to the site. It is said that there are over 70,000,000 blogs in existence. This is an experiment to see how long it will take to get 1,000,000 blogs to list themselves on our site. Will it work? We think so. The experiment is to see how long will it take.

So why not get yourselves listed as well? It could mean free traffic or permanent record!

Got myself listed as the 451th Blog!

Want to get yours listed? Visit the MillionBlogList.com and add yourself there!

Two Useful Wordpress 2.5 Plugins (Get back your Wordpress 2.3 interface!)

Ever since I switched to Wordpress 2.5, there are some things about the new admin panel that puts me off. First of all - the category selector have been moved below the post input section, then followed by the fact that the admin panel is now fixed to a 980px width limit.

While any body that are familiar with CSS/PHP/HTML can manually tweak the files to fix these, it would be troublesome to upgrade in the future, as you will have to keep on editing the files everytime an upgrade is performed.

How To: Synchronize Your Folders with SyncToy 2.0! (Part 1)

Have you ever:

  • Wished you could copy someone’s shared folder over to your PC so you can own everything that he shares, and then always copy the latest content that he has?
  • Wished that you backup that very important folder into some other PC so that you don’t have to feel very suicidal when your laptop crashes/stolen?
  • Wished you could always keep one other copy of some folders in your hard disk in case the hard disk died/you have to reformat your Windows due to some malicious virus?
  • Wished that there is an easy way to synchronize your music folder with your housemate’s music folder so whatever you have, he has, and vice versa?

I have at least three of the wishes above. Back then when I was still studying, we live in a hostel with a built-in LAN access. So I occasionally will browse through the resident’s shared folders, and often I would find some nice shows/songs that I would like. However, the task becomes very daunting because I would have to click on every folder they have to see if there is new content.
