Blog apocalypse

Click for the “Last Post” Midi from http://www.mfiles.co.uk

Imagine if an “apocalypse” of the blog world occurs… what would the last message be on your blog? Technically, if blog apocalypse happens, there wouldn’t be anyone to read anything I could have written. So there’s no need to write anything more.

I suppose the point of this exercise would be to tell blogosphere what matters to me and what important message that I want everyone to know before I stop blogging.

1. First and foremost, Jesus loves me and you … “Faith” is just a simple relationship between you and your God, and between you and your brother or sister. He is the one solitary life that impact all lives.

2. I love you, Joseph.

3. Take enough fibre in your diet, to make your stools soft and bulky. Go to toilet when you need to and leave once the “business” is over. Don’t stay in there for eternity…. ok, don’t stay in the toilet any longer than necessary. Please don’t force your bowels to open according to your clock. It doesn’t wear a watch. YOU have to follow it’s urge. You can coax it to give you the urge by your lifestyle habits… but don’t get too regimented with the bowel opening schedule.

Do that and your haemorhoids will behave themselves.

4. I want to wish all my blog-friends a good “life-after-blog-death“…. no matter how you express yourself and no matter what circle of friends you come into after blog apocalypse, be true to yourself and accept each other as he or she is. All the very best in your future endeavors…

…….. zzzzzz………. snowstorm on the screen…….

Err….. Can I still have IM?

This is a tag from Lilian by way of her K-Kia. It was started by the urbanmonk whose message is

Change the world by changing yourself. Start now, by taking this on yourself. For it will inspire those around you. And the whole world will change.

I’d like to know what your final post would be like …

Here are the instructions…. He’s giving a dollar to charity for every blog-post in this tag, up to $500.

Wowwww…. in cloud nine.

With my connection at work down for the past few days… I’ve had to wait till I’d gotten home before I could get online. I’d cancelled my unlimited DiGi GPRS service ‘cos I made the mistake of thinking that the streamyx service was reliable. Ish…

That is not the reason for the “WOWWWW” though… it’s finding that BernardChan.Net had been mentioned in 2 influential blogs :

1. LiewCF found it interesting that someone was teaching X-rays on blogosphere. Haha… Here is a professional blogger who has a good following of readers. He’s a guru of sorts in techie-land. Thanks for spreading the word.

2. Alang lists BernardChan.Net as one of the “Strongest blogs in Malaysia”… This deserves a double “wowwww”.. tak sangka betul, la.

Alang based his list on SEOMoz’s page strength, a composite score based on links, search engine ranks, technorati ranks etc. (“etc” cos I don’t really understand most of the components that they’re talking about)

SEOMoz gave me a score of … *drumroll*

Ok.. ok.. I’m coming down from cloud nine already.

My-Name-in-My-Domain List

May sent me on a chase for bloggers who use their names in their domain. AND it turns out that I was tagged by the imperial concubine manager, the Simple American at the same time. This list, “My Name in My Domain List”, was initiated by Gary Lee since having your own domain name is a “criterion” for John Chow’s dotcom moghul status.

Is it good to have your own name in the domain name of your blog? I suppose that it’s for those who don’t mind if “kaypohchee” friends and acquaintances google your name and find it on the net. I initially registered my domain just to experiment with. Why did I use my name for the domain? Actually I was just lacked the creativity to find a domain name besides my own. Do I need a better reason?

The bloggers in the list blog about a variety of subjects, but, of course, John Chow and Gary Lee talk about technology, internet and making money. I notice that a lot of popular blogs on the net are about these 3 subjects… i suppose it’s natural since that’s what readers on the internet are interested in.

Instructions:

1) Write a short introduction paragraph about how you found the List and include a link to the blog that referred you to the List.
2) COPY the ENTIRE List below and add it to your blog. To avoid duplicate content and increase the amount of keywords your site can be accessible for, go ahead and change the title of the blog. Just don’t change the links of the blogs.
3) Take the ‘My Adds’ and move them into the ‘The Originals’ list.
4) Tag 3 Brand New Narcissistic Bloggers that you know of, to a new ‘My Adds’.

My Adds:
Pelf
Yenjai
YeePei

I was going to add HijackQueen, but she had already been tagged by the Simple American.
