I received this Invitation Code BB92 from the Friendster Blog Team, telling me of some changes that will take place here.

I’d rather assume that Wordpress took over Friendster’s blogging system, for it will be in better hands, technically.

It’s been awhile before I could get back to update my corner here. The last time I looked, it was in great disarray for, yes, Wordpress took over, and therefore the default template used was “Contempt” (by Vault9). So I tried other new templates for the look of this nook; sadly, though, most of all of the ones i chose didn’t work. Most of them still needs a lot of tweaking guys.

And, yes, aside from the ‘default’ confusing look, I also lost all the sidebar elements I had before (blog roll and links) and I had to manually add each of them back, which I hadn’t done yet, so far. No worry, though, that will be easy with the widgets.

What really took me so long was making the look of the pages consistent. What before was a text wrap in the former blogging system is now not applicable in this template design I chose. So I tweaked all posts with the HTML view and merely centered all the photos in most of them. It is a tedious upgrade, especially for those who had posted quite a lot; but worth it, I would say.

The best feature, really, is finally finding your page when you try to google it, plus the tags will hugely be so helpful. Wordpress has its own built-in search engine optimizer. (I know so!)

I am looking forward to blogging with ease, as much as it is in wordpress. I hope the technical guys behind this great shift will not overlook all the necessary tweaks and that complacency will never get its way in among them.

Great job! Now, we are truly blogging. Suh-weet!
