Adding the Google+ into your Blog

I’m sure some of you would have taken notice that some blogs start to spot the Google +1 icon in their posts. You can head over to Google’s +1 Generator page to create one easily for yourself and simply follow the instruction to cut and paste into your blog.

+1 helps people discover relevant content – a website, a Google search result, or an ad—from the people they already know and trust. Adding the +1 button to your pages lets users recommend your content, knowing that their friends and contacts will see their recommendation when it’s most relevant—in the context of Google search results. When a signed-in Google user is searching, your Google search result snippet may be annotated with the names of the user’s connections who’ve +1′d your page. If none of a user’s connections has +1′d your page, your snippet may display the aggregate number of +1′s your page has received.

Analytics360 on WordPress

Just installed the Analytics360 plugin into my WordPress and all I can say is, It’s AWESOME!

But it was quite hard cause I was unable to find ‘the right’ theme that I should use. (more…)

Bye Bye GeoCities

According to BBC News, Yahoo is pulling the plug on Geocities. A Service Yahoo bought for $3.57bn at the height of the dotcom boom in 1999. The Free Website hosting service, Geocities, had to come to an end sooner or later.

 

I still remember back then, GeoCities is one of the service to go to if you want to have a website for yourself and don’t want to pay for it. Even though it’s a free web service, it’s easy to use interface still could rival some of the off-line web editing software to help you build a nice looking website. (more…)
