Tweaking the blog

I have been tweaking this new blog of ours for the past few days and I think I have got everything that I want up there, for now. If I found new things along the way, then they will be put up here. But for now, that's it! Penat woi!

At the same time, I have been blog-hopping looking for "refugees", referring to Elisa's word describing bloggers that came from the defunct efx2, here and have found a few and linked them up. If your link is not there, let me know and I will put it up.

Anyway, back to the new home. I have got the bear template from Final Sense. Just lucky to find one with bears in it... Bukan senang nak dapat tu.

Put up the shout box from Cbox that has been working well so far. This is a must have so that friends and visitors can leave their marks behind. You know, similar to how some cats love to leave their pee behind...

Built a bulletin board using some HTML codes so that we could remember certain things that we need to do on certain days. It serves as a good reminder since we would be at this blog almost all the time that we are online.

Put up the links to friends using the service from Blogrolling but somehow could not get it to show updated blogs. Tension betul aku! So if there is any expert out there, please give me a hand ya.

Then I went on to add the Recent Comments a.k.a Recent Growls List widget obtained from Blogger Templates so that I know which entry that have been commented on. Since the alert goes to my Honeybunch Diah's mailbox, it would be inconvenient for me to keep on checking her mail so with this, problem is solved.

Then there are those standard stuffs such as, links list, labels and archive which, has become part and parcel of a blog and those things come standard here.

I have also put up a visitor tracker from eXTReMe Tracking so that we would know where our visitors come from just for the fun of it. At the same time I have added a simple counter from Tiny Counter to track the number of knocks on our door.

That's about it! Have fun at our place and please come back. We are open 24 hours daily.

I am so thrilled that your family followed the herd to here! It certainly was frustrating to not be able to get in touch with so many friends when efx2 went down. Your new place looks wonderful! I just might have to borrow some of the furniture you've added, like the tracker.

*hugs*

it is a sad thing when efx2 went down but then things are getting warmer here with more friends coming over. And please help yourself to anything that you like here!

cheers!

nice bears! tapi the baby bear besar sikit pulak hehehe. so which one is papa bear, mama bear and baby bear? ok baby bear must be the small one la kan? nak tau papa bear kena ikut theory nujum pak belalang ke?

Diah said...

baby bear memang nampak agak besar dari actual and papa bear nya yang lepak kat footer tu. So ada extra satu lagi bear... itu spare.. for the future... tee hee hee...

eh mosh, bila nak buat umah nih? masih tunggu efx2 ker?

Anonymous said...

spare apa tu? ;) hehehehe.

no lah. not waiting for efx2 anymore. gave up on it already and i will create a second home. but still deciding where to set up the new home so that i'd only have to maintain only 2, not 3 homes should efx2 goes back online again.

Diah said...

mosh, itu spare adalah... ala ko mesti dah faham punya... so cepat2 la buat rumah baru... semua orang dah masuk rumah... i think the new efx2 should be up soon...
