One of the troubles in transferring your blog/website to a new host is updating the domain name servers of your new location. For example, your domain currently goes to the ip address 123.456.78.90 and upon switching to a new webhost, you will get a new address. You need to redirect your domain to this new address. (btw, I got to discover my domain’s ip address but running a ping on command prompt)

As an analogy, think of it as changing your permanent address. You have to inform the other people of your new address or else they will still go to your old address.

So how do we update the dns of our new site location (ip address)? Read the rest of this entry »

Argh! Late issue! I blame my internet! Anyways, let me deliver the links for this week.

• Is Google Adsense for you and your blog? Here’s what Macuha has to say about Google Adsense.
• The Pinoy Blogosphere is slowly growing thanks to the efforts of Pinoy Bloggers themselves and the mass media. However, not everyone still understands blogging due to their misconceptions.
• Want tips on how to maximize commenting on other blogs? I present to you , Dexter’s ten tips.
• Here’s a nice tutorial on how to create minisites. There are three chapters, Chapter one deals with the softwares you need, chapter two is about keyword research and chapter three is about long tail keywords and g-trends.

That’s it for now. It has been a busy week.

Updates on the blog: Well, I’m done with Goal # 1 which is a new blog theme. Some link love to those who commented:

Update # 2: I’ve already paid for my new webhost and I’m still waiting for it to transfer my blog. I did not expect that transferring to a new web host would be troublesome. Oh well, all I can do now is wait. (Note to self: This should be documented!)

Hi everyone, I would like to announce that I will be changing to a new theme effective today. It took me a long time to change to a new theme because of technical difficulties. My internet connection was killing me, I would get disconnected a lot. (can’t upload the theme propoerly)

Btw, the wordpress theme that I’m going to use is the blue theme from easywordpress.com. I modified it a bit especially on the CSS and banner ads placement. Overall it’s a very nice theme.

Update: After two hours of “forced blog downtime”, the blog is now back up with a new theme. Your comments and suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.
