Yesterday was the replay schedule of House, MD’s episode about a savant who’s a genius in music. It was aired on AXN (Philippines). My wife told me to watch since I am doing a couple of write-ups in Psychiatric Nursing as of late (which is outside blogging). It so happens I posted […]

I just joined Entrecard yesterday and in less than 24 hours, I have gained a fair amount of extra unique visitors for this blog.
Every website needs traffic, especially blogs. I guess joining this is one way to improve a site’s traffic. However, as a mathematician, I have seen some drawbacks in the system.

For some of you out there who are familiar with Bloggerwave, this post may not come as a shocker.

I’m back to blogging after a “day-off”. Whew! What a day without checking stats.
This post’s title says it all. When widgets load terribly slow, the loading time of a blog slows down too.

As a blogger, when was the last time you thought of something important other than page rank, Google Adsense, affiliate marketing, page hits and traffic? For some, the answer is no longer clear.
After catching the “blog bug”, a […]

Today, I have made a few changes to this blog which consumed so much of my time (again). And goodness gracious, I had a terrible headache (again).

Good news readers! This blog has been using DoFollow attributes for a couple of days now. Why good news? This gives all of you the chance to use and abuse me all you want. Lol!

I recently found out that when this blog is viewed using Internet Explorer (IE), the third column (sidebar) swings like a dancer. This is one dangling column that really ruined my days. I have also observed this with other blogs that I visit.
