First Post @ Wordpress

First Post @ WordPress

Hi people! Welcome to my new blog, http://www.teddy-o-ted.com! I’ve took pains in setting up this blog, including importing entries and also modifying and categorising them, and lastly convincing my father to pay for this domain name and the web hosting service. Phew, what a tiring week for me!

Acutally I can’t believe that I can’t import more than 500+ entires in 4 days! Wow! That is about 125+ entries a day! How exhausting this can be. Well, Rei, the reason why I want to import all my ex-blog’s posts is that I can’t bear to loose them. A makeover doesn’t mean dumping all old stuff, and a fresh new look doesn’t mean dumping away all your cosmetics. That’s why I insist on importing most of my posts to here!

The main reason why I moved from Blogger to WordPress is because WordPress provides me and my blog more flexibility than Blogger can provide. Of course, by using WordPress, I’ll need to have my onw domain and web hosting service, which eventually drill a big hole in my father’s wallet. WordPress can let me categorise my posts, and sometimes even password-protect them to limit who should read them.

Secondly, I also think that it is time to give my blog a makeover at its first birthday (1st of July, 2004).

On the other hand, by having my own domain I can host my own images and no need to depends on other image hosting services. If one fine day they turn into paid membership or they just closed down their service, all my images will become, erm, orphans!

So these explain why are you reading teddY-risatioN @ http://www.teddy-o-ted.com!

Well, before ending, I would like to apologise for being unable to import all my reader’s comments. I also feel very sad about this… anyway, I’ll have to stick to this template until dear Michelle helps me to configure my ex-blog’s template to this new blog =) Thanks a million, Michelle! You’re really helpful!

Terry Mun (Teddy)

I'm relatively new to the design world - only to start learning HTML in secondary school and then moving on to (X)HTML and CSS in college. Since then I have been hand-coding my designs using notepad, alongside with the amazing help from Firebug. I embrace photography as a personal persuit during my free time, and I prefer spending the rest of it doing meaningless quizzes on Facebook and destroying the world (in Rampage World Tour, that is).

very good. NOW, you must abandon that cheesy shoutbox you have been using, and switch the the one that real MEN use.

Thanks Michelle! Phew thinking of that importing process… nothing have been more tiring than that! Although Stephanie recommended me to import them using the php script, I have imported like, 60%, of all post and I scared they will be rewritten, so I continued on my MANUAL importing process.

Thanks, anyway!

Teddy, Congratulations on your new blog. Cool!!!

Name *

Your name is required. Why?

So that I can address you personally (which I'm more than happy to do).
Everyone loves their name to be called, right? Nobody wants to be referred to as 'a certain someone' or Mr X (X-Men members aside).
If your post too much spam, your name will be imprinted on a personalised voodoo doll, completely free of charge. I'm just joking!

Email *

Your email is needed. Why?

Your email is, and will, never be given out to any third party under any conditions (except for people sneaking up behind me when I'm on WP admin).
So that I can contact you personally in case of certain issues that I wish to address personally.
If you post too much spam, I'll email the same spam you've posted 10 times back to you, completely free of charge.

Website

You can always leave a personal URL behind

It can be anything - most people put their blog URL, their facebook page, their Twitter URL, their MySpace or etc.
I give love back by saying NO to no-follow. All of your webbie links are dofollows instead.

Twitter ID (What?) http://twitter.com/

Twitter. Twitter. Twitter.

What is Twitter?: Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 bytes in length.
What is my Twitter ID?: To get a Twitter ID, you simply have to sign up for an account at Twitter.com. Your ID will be in the format of your profile's URL - http://twitter.com/[userid].
