He's Blog

New Feature: Contact Form

// April 2nd, 2010 // No Comments » // Site Updates

Hi all,

Since the Shoutbox is down and He’s Blog has no Guestbook. I’ve implemented a Contact Form to He’s Blog. It can be found right at the top of this site at the Navigation Bar. Check the image if you still can’t find it (Look for the male sign). That will hopefully make it easier for people who don’t know me personally to contact me.

Check it out!

New Features: Favicon, Flash Tag Cloud, Admin Comment, & Mobile Site!

// March 25th, 2010 // No Comments » // Site Updates

Hi all,

I am very proud to announce several great features that I have added to this site. That’s probably why He’s Blog was down for days. But please don’t be mad because you’ll be amazed with the new features that I’ve brought to He’s Blog! Remember I mentioned that He’s Blog are still lacking a lot of features during its genesis? Yup, that’s right, I’ve gone ahead and added some wonderful features to this blog. So sit tight and buckle up while I take you through the list of the long awaited updates!

In conjunction with the long list of awaited updates, the first thing I did was to give He’s Blog its very much deserved favicon. In case you folks don’t know what a favicon is; it is the essentially the little logo that appears next to a website’s URL or name in the favorites list:

I know what you’re thinking. Yes! It is indeed a 2D image of myself. How narcissistic eh? But before you go on and judge me further, that’s not my main point. The aim is that now that there’s a favicon, you will no longer encouter difficulties recogonizing He’s Blog when you go through your favorites list in the future. Heh, such a thoughtful fellow. And… it also gives He’s Blog an identity, in this case, my Avatar. Oh come on, He’s Blog is my blog isn’t it =/

Next on the list, I’ve also made big cosmetic changes to the tag cloud. The tag cloud now presents itself as a flash tag cloud instead of the previous text-based tag cloud.

I really like this implementation a lot because it represents the chain of thoughts that resides in my brain. And since He’s Blog serves as a remote settlement to my thoughts, this feature definitely brings He’s Blog to another step.

As internet surfing on mobile devices become more and more mainstream today, there is no doubt that some of you would want to read my blog on it too. With that in mind, I have gone ahead and created a mobile version of He’s Blog. That way, you won’t have to worry about exceeding your bandwidth with this resource-friendly version. Of course, you can still visit the full version of the site simply by scrolling to the bottom and clicking the Full Version link.

So what are you waiting for? Visit He’s Blog now with your mobile devices and enjoy the resource-friendly site.

Last but not least, I have also taken the time to actualize this long awaited admin comment feature. It has been one of the features that I’ve been wanting to implement but haven’t got the time to do so. Basically what it does is that it gives my comments a distinctive look that seperates it from the other readers’ comments. Cool isn’t it? Now you can quickly scan a thread to see where I’ve left a comment. Heh, oh I’m such a narcissistic guy. =X

Oh, and for those of you have probably noticed the broken Shout Box at the home page and were wondering what ever happened to the Shout Box. Here’s what happened: It turns out that the host for my shoutbox – Nat1on.com went burst and hasn’t resurfaced since then. It has been months now and I doubt that they are ever going to return to service. I am currently trying very hard to find other Shout Box alternatives to fit into He’s Blog but it’s tough because I am real picky (You can’t really blame me for that, can you?). So I am not sure when it will return but rest assured that I am looking into it.

So that’s it! I hope you guys have enjoyed the updates!

Now get out of here!

New Feature: Playlist

// October 16th, 2009 // No Comments » // Site Updates

Hey everyone,

It’s been a while since He’s Blog has undergone some changes. So in order to spice things up and make it a even better blog, I’ve gone ahead and added a personal favorite feature of mine, a playlist.

You can find the playlist at the front page as well as at the side section of other pages.

I was thinking that since I enjoy listening to music, I figured that I might as well implement a playlist on my site that updates everyone on the songs that I’ve been and enjoyed listening to. That way, you’ll know what kind of music I enjoy listening to. I know I know, it’s rather empty now, having only one song. But I’m sure it’ll grow over time as I upload more songs. So check back often!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this neat little feature. Let me know if you happen to come across any nice songs on the playlist or any nasty bugs!

Laters!

New Feature: Shoutbox

// September 12th, 2009 // No Comments » // Site Updates

Hello there,

I figured that since almost all the blogs have a tagboard, I might as well put one in my blog too. As a result, I have gone ahead and added a Shoutbox to the front page.

For those of you who are sharp enough, I have indeed replaced the links section and have shifted the links to a different page which can be found on the top. Currently the list is still quite short so I’m guessing I’m still missing quite a bunch of people. But no worries, I’m sure the list will grow as time passes.

So anyway while you’re at it, why don’t you go and leave your words behind in the shoutbox? If you’re lucky enough, I might be around to reply to them
