From LifeType to WordPress - 2 Days Later

Some initial thoughts / comments -

WordPress:

It is easy to use and the administration panel is sleek and great.
There are hundreds of plugins to use, but it will take you ages to find the right one.
Still have problems with the video plugin.
The AJAX effect in administration panel is great as long as you have a big [...]

From LifeType to WordPress

It’s not easy … there’s a lot of works to do the move and I really like LifeType a lot. Anyway, I suppose it’s time to move on after the crash. So here is a what I did to make the move (without any use of migration scripts).

Install the Zoundry zBlogWriter, set up the blog [...]

I Only Care About You

This is the song I like most from singer the late Teresa Tang. I like the song so much that I even love all the cover versions. Found this cover version 10 years ago in a plane’s multimedia system … so imagine how suprised I was when I found this MV in Youtube.
