I came across this video of this guy called Paul on UK talent show “Britain’s Got Talent”. I was like “WoW! This guy really got talent”. His singing is so powerful and passionate that I had goose pimples all over my body and it was so touching at the end when the audience gave him a standing ovation!
What got me thinking was he said he was not confident and I can see it in his eyes. I think he was quite shy too! He was probably not discovered before the show because he never took action! Somehow, something moved him to take action this time and I think he would go very far in his new found career! Go get it Paul!
Now take a look at this 6 year old girl, Conny. Oh my God, isn’t she full of energy and positive attitude! I beginning to love this show!
So guys, if you have a dream and the talent for it. Don’t be shy, Just do it (sorry Nike, stole your tag line :P)

Today is maintenance day. It’s a day I reflect on our blog, what we have done/posted, what have gone right/wrong and more importantly what we can do better! I have also taken in suggestions on how we can improve our site, improve our readability, our delivery of content and create more values for our readers. Actually, the reflecting has been going on for a while, but today is the day I take action after some serious consideration!
I have made the some changes to our site for the following reasons:
1) To encourage and reward participation using comments
- We are now D-list Complaint. Meaning that any comment that has a website url listed in the URL box gets a link back to their site. Goodbye to “nofollow”. But please follow this guidelines
- Comment constructively. Avoid 2 word comments like “Nice post”. If you have to, at least tell me why it’s a nice post so I know what I have done right A constructive comment will entice readers to take a look at your site.
- Don’t spam your link, use the URL box for your website url. 1 link is enough to link back, 2 is spam.
2) To reduce spam
- Due to removing of “nofollow”, I have enhanced my spam filtering with 2 other plugin’s mainly to remove robot spams. You can see one of them when you try to comment.
3) Improve readability
- I have reduced the front page to 5 post for faster loading and shrank all my images.
- The –more– tag has been removed so RSS feeds will not be cut off midway.
I personally love the changes, especially the D-list part. It allows me to build links back from sites with good relevant content while I comment constructively at those blogs. I also get to reward my readers in the same way. This is, in my opinion, a better way to get technorati rating then viral link exchanges. It creates real value to readers at each D-list sites.
Last but not least I would like to thank Court over at http://courtneytuttle.com. It is there that I got a lot more in depth understanding about D-list, technorati and many useful plug-ins for wordpress.
