You can call me Noi! This blog consists of my thoughts. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! Like the charcoal, hot pressure and extreme heat must be present in order to create a Diamond. I am in the exact same process.

Searching For New Place In Cyberspace / Thursday, April 27, 2006 @ 6:03 PM
Initially I wanted to write yesterday but things got so hectic that I fell asleep on my bed with the laptop on last night. Its ridiculous to waste battery and by the time I woke up, it was already 2.30 am in tne morning and I just couldnt think straight. This is the first time that the laptop became my sleeping partner. I know its pathetic. I usually go through my routine before bedtime like brushing my teeth, washing my face, wearing face cream, switching on the night light in my room, cleaning my table so it doesnt look to messy, reading my book for at least 20 minutes and making sure I have all my pillows in place. Hmm..ok it seems I do a lot of things before I sleep. And I usually cant sleep when I see my table is so messy.
So it is good that I am off work today. I just realise that I am off today, yesterday! Can you believe how silly that was? I guess I am so excited about the functions happening tonight and saturday that I didnt check my schedule properly. If Kak Nor, my lovely colleague did not mentioned that I am off today, I would have come to work as per normal!
Anyway, Tracy / Melody who did a blog review for my blog has commented on a few issues here and there. First I must thank them (I dont know who actually did the review!) for tak
ing the time to review it. I have been looking for ways to improve this site and this was the perfect opportunity to do that. I also have been receiving feedback about how annoying xanga is with ad on top. As a user of xanga for the pass 2 years, I didnt realise there were so many issues before. It was when I started surfing around at others blogs that I realise, the ads are unnecessary! And there is really nothing I can do about it unless I go premium. If I go premium, there is a small amount of money to be paid and the ad will be gone. It also come along with an extra side bar on the left. I dont see the point in paying as there are so many free blog providers out there. As you can see, I already have a bar on my right but its difficult to work with. For example, I cant insert any more links to the blogs I read. I can only insert 2 and if I insert even one more, the whole bar dissapears! Also, some of the html codes just dont work on xanga and when I read through the xanga help, it turns out that html codes from certain websites are not going to work on xanga because they dont support it. I was shocked!
Also, I am unable to take part in BE's 'Rent My Blog' campaign. I can rent on others blogs but I just cant rent mine out. This saddens me as I have had such great experiences with my previous 'landlords' that I would like to do the same for others. With xanga, I cant!! I also cant insert my ranking with the BOTB challenges, the Blog textlinks and some other stuffs from other directories as well.
I also understand that some of my readers have been having dificulty commenting as they have to register an account with xanga before commenting. I should be doing everyone a huge favour if the comment section is open for all bloggers, even those outside of xanga. Would you agree with me?;) I must thank all who registered with xanga just so they can comment here. Thank you. I really appreciate it.
Therefore, I have made the decision to move out xanga. I have been researching on other blog engines these few days and I must say that I am very impress with wordpress. Its clean cut, no annoying ads and no annoying word verification. My only concern is that it is relatively new and there arent many template providers for wordpress. Usually what I do is take a template and customize it into my own style. Without a template, I cant do much as I am seriously not an expert in blog design. Everything that I have done here was based on trial and error.
If I am unable to find a good free template provider, I will most probably be moving to blogger. Its been around a lot longer and there are tons of skins out there for blogger that I can work on. There is not much choice for skins for blogger over at www.createblog.com. That is why I have turned to other websites such as www.blogskins.com. Its nice and all but I dont understand why some of designs allows minimum scrolling.
The template I am looking for must have these few criterias that I have set:
1. It must be easy to work with.
2. It must be customize friendly.
3. It can either be 2 colums or 3 colums.
4. Most important- it must not be boring to look at.
Therefore if you know any good websites where I can check out the templates, please let me know. I would love to move to wordpress so anyone who knows more about where I can find wordpress templates, please let me know too. Anyone who thinks I should stay in xanga, please voice your thoughts over at the tagboard. I am open to listen to any suggestions.
Moving is hectic but nevertheless, it has to be done.
