Wow. Its been a while since the last time I go for a jog and get myself sweat. I recently feel alot of backpain and also on the neck. I thought lying on the bed will make me feel better but instead, it got worse. So just now I went for a jog and I felt really refreshing and more energetic! I think I want to take a few minutes daily to get my self sweat so that I can be more productive

Speaking of productivity, do you know that you can effectively decrease your website traffic(if you got a very good traffic).  Ireally think that this is beneficial for you if you already have a good steady traffic to your site, If You are just starting out, this is also an eyeopener :). So here you go, the three simple tips on decreasing your traffic with extensive effort!:-

1. just read your blog and do not update until  the end of the month. If you are updating it, do not put heavy content. A few sentences would be nice :).  Putting a date counter on the page to show when it was last updated is lame. So don’t put it okay !
2. just put to your blog and do not offer anything. If you have anything that can give value to your readers, scrap it! Your readers loves value. SO you need to get rid of it in order to flush away your traffic.
3. Another thing is Opt in. I have said his again and again before. Putting an Opt in is totally unnecessary if you want to decrease your website traffic.  I saw many bloggers put special offers and anything similar in their blog. This is again, giving value to your customers.. they will come again and again to see the update. So bottom line is, its a bad idea…

I hope you enjoyed the tips and please stay healthy. Do not be like me.. I am a very bad example.. but at least I want to improve my self by going for a jog in the park. What about you?

Wordpress recently released its 2.5 version. While most bloggers have upgraded their wordpress to the latest version, there are a few portion of bloggers are still using the old one. I am one of them.

Its not that I dont want to do it. I tried but my head was spinnin as I read about how to upgrade my wordpress blog, specifically the Sleepy Surfer dot com. I’m still new to wordpress.

A wealthy Dragon from Hong Kong made a very useful post on how to upgrade wordpress blog to the latest version. I am currently using his post to get the job done. I need to learn a few more things prior to the upgrade process.

I have been posting content relating to talent and creativity lately.. I found an interesting sad video on how individuals around us with unique talents were not discovered or even worse, poluted by the corporate world/ corporate machine. I found the animation from a post by Martijn van Osch from Freshcreation.com. In his post, Martijn said that :- (more…)

I just tried the Roboform Software. I have many accounts online and I often forget my passwords So this tool iis very useful for me and it is also a time saver.

My concern was if I want to re-format my windows, do I need to set my passwords again?

I search for a tutorial online. and I found one

This tutorial is very useful if you want to make a backup of your roboform data.
