Hmm I finally did up my site, changed the fonts and incorporated my site logo onto the side bar. It is really surprising how some small changes can do wonders to the design of your site.
The only thing missing now is to make my site’s logo pop up on the top of the page… other than that I’d say I did a pretty good job :)
*Update – So yesterday I got the site running on the tweaked theme but this morning when I accessed it, the theme was back to the original! I freaked out and edited it again and again but still it shows the original theme! And now it’s back to the one I tweaked without me doing anything!!??? WTH?

I upgraded to WordPress 2.8.5 for the security fix recently and the next thing I knew was my layout was all haywire and my feeds don’t work anymore!
I am trying to resolve it as soon as possible and I’ll share my findings here ;)
*Update – Apparently there were white spaces in my feed making it invalid. I got rid of it by following these instructions. Cool!

My blog – not me – but it was close enough.
I accidentally deleted my posts especially those of late. I really felt heartbroken as it took me a lot of effort to edit the photos, add the effects and the hardest part was to pen them in a nice and presentable manner. If they were really lost, all those comments by my friends would have been gone as well T_T.
The last time something like this happened, I practically gave up on blogging. I went into like blogging hibernation and took me quite a while to start back up again. For something like this to happen yet again to me was 10% bad luck and I guess 90% stupidity (yes most of it is my own fault for messing with the settings before backing up my data).
Luckily for me exabytes always backs up their database and their online support was top notch! They helped me recover most of my posts and I only lost 1 draft copy.
I am very thankful to chiaoju for recommending exabytes and not some crappy online web hosting service. The lesson learnt here is of course…
No 1 – Backup all your posts frequently
&
No 2 – Sign up to a reliable online web hosting service
because life is like a box of chocolates :) it is better to be safe than sorry.
P/S: Nope this is not a recruitment drive for exabytes.

Hmm… I’m currently editing some of my older posts to contain more ’substance’. Some of the posts have videos or pictures only and somehow I feel that makes ahyen.com a bit shallow. I’m the type who likes to share my experiences and love to motivate people so I’m adding some of my life experiences to them.
Let’s see how this will impact my readers (if any :p).

sunset at apalancho!
This is my first post since I blogged about anything on apalancho!. The last post on that site dated back to April 14! Chiaoju was beginning to trash my ass around for not blogging for such a long time and I can feel that she was on the verge of tearing up my Cbox haha :p
So here you have it – apalancho! reborn!
Well not really. I didn’t feel that apalancho! was such a suitable name for my personal blog anymore as it was really owned by the gang. However I will still use the term apalancho! on my pages but for what reasons I do not know yet.
The theme has not been finalized yet so I will be sticking to the plain and simple stuff first.
Oh! Please do subscribe to the RSS feed again all right? I’ll try to rig up the site to pop-up one of those windows but until then you guys will have to do it manually. For the time being I will be slowly porting my stuff over from apalancho!
Have a great day!
