U Comment I Follow

Iris Aeirin — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 10:23:00 +0000

I decided to go back to ordinary comment style, since Intense Debate is not compatible with Internet Explorer. Thanks to Milet for letting me know that my comment box is overlapping my post. Also, thanks to Pinay Mommy for sharing her Comment Policy link to me.

So now, I’m happy to announce that I am now supporting the “U Comment – I Follow” campaign. This is one way to show my commenters that I appreciate them. In addition, I will activate the comment moderation to prevent spam. Therefore, I reserve the right to publish or reject any comment as I see it necessary.

Want to join the campaign? You may visit Randa Clay‘s blog to pick out your new badge.

NOTE: And because of these changes, the comments made on my previous posts were deleted. I’m sorry for the inconvenience.

Lazy Bloggers Post Generator

Iris Aeirin — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 14:23:00 +0000

While doing my usual blog hopping, I came across Mommy Ruby‘s post about Lazy Bloggers Post Generator. The Lazy Blogger Post Generator will help you create a blog post in just a few steps. Just choose from the drop down menu and click the create blog post button and you’ll have your blog post ready.

Here’s the sample post I made using this generator.

Oh My Gosh! I just found out I have not updated this since you last visited… You would not believe how insane my life has become. Unbelievable.

I am overwhelmed with keeping up with my favourite daytime soaps, watching Dexter, just generally being a Darling to my husband, my day starts from 3am to 11pm at which point I fall asleep on the couch. I am totally exhausted. I need a nap.

I swear I will make more of an effort to blog more often. Seriously! I mean it!.

Aeirin's Collections New Look

Iris Aeirin — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 13:00:00 +0000

Since I had nothing to do this morning, I decided to change the lay out of my blog. It took me almost 8 hours to do this. You want to know why? Simply because when I was almost done with the widgets, I accidentally deleted some of the scripts then I hit Save. To make the story short, I had to start all over again. So, this is a lesson learned for me. Remember: before editing your template, save a copy of it just in case something might happen.

Anyway, here’s my blog’s new look. Hope you like it.

Amazon S3 are experiencing serious problems

Iris Aeirin — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 20:39:00 +0000

At 12 midnight Manila, I decided to Surf and Drop, however, EC widget is not showing on all of the site I visited. I checked Entrecard’s website, and here what their site looks like:

I was going crazy and I was wondering what happened….. until I saw the message on my dashboard:

@ 7/20 16:35 Outage Notice: Entrecard widgets temporarily down. Also, images and general site features. It’s amazon’s fault this time.

And according to Entrecard’s administrator:

Update on what’s going on here. Amazon S3 are experiencing serious problems with their storage cloud network, more details here:

http://status.aws.amazon.com/

This is causing problems with widget loading and various image parts of the Entrecard.com site. We’re very sorry about this but there isn’t any way we can resolve this issue at this time, we’re just going to have to wait it out. More information as it comes to hand.

However, they got no ETA from Amazon and based on Amazon’s reports, it make take a couple of hours. So, I guess no Surf and Drop for me this time..

Stolen Blog

Iris Aeirin — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 04:12:00 +0000

I just want to share this to you…

Ruby, the owner of www.pinaymommyonline.com was accused as a fake user by ReviewMe. Apparently, her blog was used by “another blogger”. According to ReveiwMe, the “another blogger” is the legitimate owner of this blog as their records shown, and that pinay.mommy (which is Mommy Ruby) is a fake user since 2007.

I heard about stolen blog post or contents, but stolen blog?? This is not good.

As Mommy Ruby said, “Your blogs can now be virtually stolen. You never know that somebody might be using your blogs and you to benefit from other get paid to blog companies.” So guys, better watch out…

Firefox’s Download Day!

Iris Aeirin — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 02:00:00 +0000

Don’t forget to be part of Firefox’s Download Day! Set a Guinness World Record

Sounds like a good deal, right? All you have to do is get Firefox 3 during Download Day to help set the record for most software downloads in 24 hours – it’s that easy. We’re not asking you to swallow a sword or to balance 30 spoons on your face, although that would be kind of awesome.

Mark your calendar, wrap a ribbon around your finger or write a little sticky yellow note. Download Day will start on June 17, 2008. Join our community and this effort by pledging today.

FAQ:

What is Download Day?

Download Day is the attempt to set a world record for the most software downloads in 24 hours and will occur on Firefox 3 launch day.

How do I take part in the record?

It’s simple–just download Firefox 3 as soon as it is available, preferably from Download Day Headquarters. You’ll get a customized certificate by downloading from Headquarters.

How can I help, other than downloading Firefox 3?

The best thing to do is spread the word about Download Day – tell your mom, your neighbors, your colleagues – anyone and everyone!
Here are a few other ways to help as we move towards the finish line:

* Plan an impromptu Download Fest at your school, office, or home – anywhere with an Internet connection. Or, attend a Firefox 3 gathering.
* Join one of the following social networking groups and invite all your friends.
* Find your Firefox Campus Rep and see how you can help today or what festivities you can join.
* Add our buttons or banners to your site, blog, or profile.

"Surf and Drop" Project

Iris Aeirin — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 05:41:00 +0000

Recently, I joined a new ring from RingSurf. It is called Surf and Drop. Thanks to Pinay Mommy Online for this wonderful project.

It is a great ring for bloggers who uses entrecard. Surf and Drop ring can help you easily surf and drop to similar blogs who would like to reciprocate the surfing and dropping love in the blogosphere. It can also help the dropper concentrate at one blog at a time to allow blog post reading or scanning before proceeding to dropping at the EntreCard widget. It’s not only a simple drop but it is doing every blogger a favor – a true “you drop and i follow” way.

Isn’t it great? If you like to join this new project, please click HERE.

StartXchange – Traffic Exchange

Iris Aeirin — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 03:37:00 +0000

StartXchange is a smooth place to surf through other member’s websites and the 10 second timer helps you to zip through the pages in no time. This is great for anyone that needs to build up credits in a hurry and they even reward you with more credits, the more active you surf there each day. If you surf a lot today, then your bonus percentage will be a lot higher for tomorrow. So it really pays at StartXchange to be an active surfer.

Another great thing about the traffic exchange StartXchange is that they have teams there. You can join up with any team that you like, as long as the person in charge allows you on the team. There is no limits to the number of players each team can have, but the top teams try to keep their numbers trimmed low, so they get a better percentage in the different stats for team competition.

t’s completely free to join StartXchange and it cost nothing to be on a team either. If you would like to be the captain of your own team at StartXchange, you would need to upgrade to do that. A gold membership costs you $6 a month and the platinum membership is $14.95 a month.

StartXchange is one of the better traffic exchanges out there and anyone that is looking to drive more traffic to their websites should consider joining StartXchange. You will have a hard time trying to find a better traffic exchange than this one and consider all the quality visitors you can get each day and you can do this for free, it makes the decision easy on why you should join StartXchange to help give your websites more exposure.
