Free WordPress Set up for Davao Bloggers From Fifty Shades of Jay!

Every blogger dreams of  upgrading his/her blog to become a self hosted one. I have been, too, until I met a great group of bloggers recently. They were the ones who inspired me to take my blog to the next  level.  For weeks I’ve been delaying the big move, until Jay of  Fifty Shades of Jay poked my Facebook inbox offering free service to help me with my blog. Whoa! Who couldn’t resist such a friendly offer? So off  to Hostgator.com and Namecheap.com I went to buy my own domain and hosting for a year. This is it, yeah. After hours of valuable assistance  from Jay(or was it bugging to the max?) in transferring my existing WordPress account to my newly set up blog, my new domain is finally up!  Although, I am still currently exploring to spice it up with widgets and stuff, I can’t thank him enough for […]

Blog Weekend Bootcamp: A Homecoming of Sorts

In the past months, I have always seen Davao Bloggers’ activities in my FB newsfeed and there is this constant wish of mine to be part of the group. However, I noticed most of the bloggers I see in the event photos are younger than me, and geez, I might feel way out of their league so I just kept on lurking. Good thing, one of the officers/organizers, Karla, informed me about the Blogger Weekend Bootcamp (held on Sept 21-23, 2012) and reassured me that there are also mommies like me who actively blog and are frequent attendees in local blogger events. See, I started writing since highschool and that’s like ages ago. And for the past few years, my job online has been focused on editing articles, SEO (search engine optimization) building, customer support, and the like. Although I have a personal blog here and I had another one […]

Never too late for something new

Ok, so this is a blog i just created in haste today. had a blog a few years back in relic social networking site we call Friendster( let’s face it~~ we all started from there till Facebook took the best of us around 2009~~ish). Posted a few blogs there and never bothered to create a new one maybe coz of  work, mafia, work, farmtown, work, etc. How reasonable, eh. I don’t know what got into me. prolly coz a lot of people I know who are into writing are having the time of their lives posting what-nots  on the pages they call their very own. Plus, FB and Twitter I think, have come overly saturated, that you think it diminishes the essence of a blog you want to come up. Not sure if I made a sense there. LOL. I also realize a bit too late, that there must be […]
