Movable Type 3.3 First Impressions

Yes, Movable Type (MT) 3.3 has been out since early July, but considering the unimpressive changes touted for it in late May, I chose to ignore it. At least, until now.
Recently, I finally decided to move my MT blogs to a new host, and instead of keeping with my older MT 3.2 install or switch […]

Drupal 4.6 Themes: Feature Comparison

Over at adminfoo.net, there’s a feature comparison between the various Drupal 4.6 themes available at the Drupal theme repository. I’m not sure how many of you Drupal bloggers already know about this resource, but due to my lousy search engine skills, I only recently discovered it myself (even though it’s been published since like forever).

LightPress vs. WordPress: Which One?

This isn’t a review, but rather a collection of my thoughts after deliberating on whether I should try out LightPress on one of my blogs. For those who are out of the loop, LightPress is a fast front-end for WordPress - our favourite PHP blog software. Basically, it’s installed as a WP plugin, but it […]

FeedBurner Email Subscription Service

While my primary email subscription service is still FeedBlitz, I’ve started experimenting on FeedBurner’s own email subscription service on one of my blogs after a positive review from TechCrunch. The verdict: Not so good.
Admittedy, the blog branding aspect of FeedBurner’s email solution is way better than its competition, e.g. FeedBlitz, since all FeedBurner advertising is […]

Performancing Firefox Out Of Beta

It was 1.1 not too long back, and in beta too. But last week, we saw Performancing Firefox (PFF) coming out of a successful beta test period with version 1.2.
With all new features (e.g. del.icio.us, technorati and Performancing Metrics intergration), even if compared to some of the more mature desktop blogging software out there, […]

Top Web 2.0 Designs Featured Yet Again

When you (i.e. me) are the owner of an average (or perhaps even, sub-par) designed blog (due to owner’s own fault, of course), you’ll never get tired of checking out the latest lists of top Web 2.0 designs. Even if they overlap, there’s always one or two new sites that you’ll end up devouring and […]

RevenueMonitor - Introduction

I recently received a copy of RevenueMonitor (non-aff) for my (meager) translation services (i.e. English -> Malay), and successfully installed it on one of my shared hosting accounts for testing. So, I thought I might as well feature it here.
RevenueMonitor aims to be the best ad tracking script for Adsense and YPN, replete with a […]

Blog:CMS - First Impressions

I stated earlier that I’m the type that just has to try new blog software from time to time. I’m sure there are quite a few similar bloggers out there as well. So, I decided to try out Blog:CMS. It’s nothing new, and the framework it is based on (i.e. Nucleus) is even more established.
I’ve […]
