Let’s forget about Google AdSense, affiliate marketing, and making money online for a moment. It’s tiring to think all these. Google is making life exciting for us, it has recently demoted PageRanks for a lot of bloggers and websites… I see more PR demotion than promotion. Not only that, Google has just made AdSense units less clickable. But life goes on… tech bloggers do have a life outside of tech stuff. Kongtechnology.com will become Malaysia’s Tech Blog with a life… not like Liucf.

Now, I am glad to present you my handsome and gorgeous… not myself, but my colleague! We address him Mr Lee. He is the programmer and tech guru in our office as whatever technical question you throw at him he can feed you with tonnes of geeky answers in no time! If you need any help with any problem with your computer, your website, your blog… you can throw at me and I will pass to him.

Today, his friend delivered a Happy Full Moon package to him. I took the opportunity and asked him to pose for my blog! Hahaha… he looks good on my blog, you dare say no?

Have you checked out BLOG2u.sg, a match-making service for Singapore advertisers and bloggers. That may sound like a dating website, but they are not… or you could say they are the dating website for bloggers and advertisers – to deliver products and services in the most cost effective method through blogs! Haha… very interesting isn’t it?

Now, did we just mentioned cost effective? Yes, we did. Advertisers need to spend as little as S$40 to have 10 bloggers with good page ranking introducing their products for a minimum of 30 days!

They are still very new in the blog advertising scene. I wonder if they are going into the Malaysian market and become a real competitor for Advertlets and Nuffnang?

I am sure by now you have enjoyed to the max the excitement of putting a web messenger on your website or blog. Your visitors can now chat and interact with you directly. Your website or blog has become more lively and interactive! First in Malaysia (after mine lar)!!!

You may have also grabbed a few new @live or @live.com.my IDs and would like to use them on Windows Live Messenger (previously known as MSN). Now, with all these new accounts, how can you run multiple instances of Windows Live Messenger and use the different accounts simultaneously? Ask Kitkat!

OK. Since we are here, we might as well upgrade Windows Live Messenger to the latest 8.5 version. Among other things, the latest version’s improvement on the interface is worth the upgrade. Now it looks more like Vista. Check my MSN avatar above, make you horny or not? Hahaha…

The tongue twisting Scalable Inman Flash Replacement may sound alien to you and me, but this may be something worth looking into and trying especially for web developers. This is a new technology that can beautify your simple and boring looking text on web pages, such as those on this example sIFR page.

Look at the smooth titles and headings which are next to impossible to do if not using images before sIFR is introduced. Now with sIFR, all these beautiful and smooth looking titles is as easy as inserting a few lines of extra codes. Isn’t it?

Well, slightly more than that actually. The implementation can be as fast as 10 minutes for experienced web developers and up to ah hour for a newbie. Anyway, I am sure detailed explanation on sIFR wiki could help you get started straight away!

sIFR allows website headings, pull-quotes and other elements to be styled in whatever font the designer chooses – be that Foundry Monoline, Gill Sans, Impact, Frutiger or any other font – without the user having it installed on their machine.

Good luck!

I am very happy to present you this new WordPress theme. Can’t think of a proper name other than “Colorful”! It does look colorful, right?

The theme was built based on an old theme I got hold from a forum some time ago. I enhanced the theme by incorporating features such as flashy title fonts and make it widgets ready.

Some notable features:

1. Widgets ready.
2. Works well with WordPress 2.2 and above. Frankly, I have not tested this theme on WordPress lower than version 2.2.
3. Includes 404 template, search template, and archive template which you can easily edit.
4. Titles are displayed in flashy fonts (Scalable Inman Flash Replacement). More on this in another post.
