I am one of the bloggers who excitedly upgraded to Wordpress 2.6  a day after its release. But to my disappointment, I encountered this 404 - Not Found error upon accessing my individual posts.

This made me stay to the older version until today. Luckily I’ve found the solution and I’m proud to say that I’m now using the latest version of Wordpress!

What happened?

I am sick for three days now and not in the mood to post something exciting lately hehehehe, well I was reading an article on one of the pinoy blogs earlier and clicked a link contained in the said post. I am not yet done reading his article, but just wanted to see what’s in the link. Instead of opening a new window, it opens in the current window. I went on reading the destination page and close the window after reading it. But what I want to do next was to return to the article I am not done reading yet. But since it’s my first time on that blog, I can’t remember it’s URL.

Sigh…it would be much better if he opened the destination page in a new window (pardon my being impatient, I’m sick hehehe)

So instead of tracking back where I got the blog’s URL, here I am writing a post hehe…

I believe that doing so would increase the time spent reading your posts and a possibility for the readers to navigate your blog more.

To do this, add target="_blank" on your links as shown below

If you are using WordPress, opening the destination page in a new window is easy. Just highlight the text to be linked and click the ‘insert/edit link’ icon while creating/updating your post, and select the ‘Open link in a new window’ option in the target dropdown list.

Click on this link to see how it works

The destination page will now be opened in a new window (IE) or in a new tab (Firefox), thus making it easier for your readers to comeback in the window where your blog is opened.

I can’t see any effect on this SEO wise, but as a reader, this would really makes my reading easy.

Do you agree in taking some weight loss pills?

Why do you need to install wordpress locally when you have your blog online? Personally, this is the first thing I researched when i decided to do blogging seriously, for several reasons:

• I am new to PHP and I don’t want to mess with my live blog while messing with my theme /template’s code.
• I can still create draft posts with the look and feel of my online blog even if I’m not connected to the internet (for some reason)
• I can test and debug my blog’s template whenever I want
• And several other reasons hehehe

If your blog is hosted on a free host and you’re just using a subdomain, and do not have full control over your blog platform’s files, definitely this post will not be that helpful to you. Nevertheless, if you plan to host your own blog site, consider this as your future reference. But still, if you prefer to have a local version of your blog, you may do so.

This is the functionality that I really had a hard time figuring out. Well yeah I’m so lazy to read the manual hehe. Besides, O2 XDA Atom uses the word ‘Beam’ instead of ‘Send via bluetooth’ which I’m familiar with. Oh excuses!

With Bluetooth capability, devices can exchange information within a distance of about 10 meters without requiring a physical connection. Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology.

Source: O2 XDA Atom Manual

To start with, lets activate the BlueTooth:

1. Tap the signal icon at the top of the screen, a dialog window will pop out.
2. Just select the Wireless Manager option.
3. Tap the bluetooth area or select the bluetooth settings entry under the Menu option to activate your device’s bluetooth and make it discoverable (not needed when sending file) at the same time
