The new look of the blog is finally ready :) many thx to all who waited patiently and very sorry for the inconvenience caused.
The template is gotten from http://www.jackbook.com/ which is offering pretty templates for free. However, the original template was not totally to my liking and i changed some of the features of the template.
First, i have to get the dates working as the webhost for the javascript had its bandwidth used up. Second, i moved the labels from the bottom of the post to just below the date post. Lastly, i added 2 new sections just before the footers to put my recent readers widget from http://www.blogcatalog.com/ and http://www.mybloglog.com/

Have you ever seen blogs with a link asking you to buy the writer a beer or any other objects of desire? I have been wanting to add something like that to my blog for quite some time. However, i didn't have the time to do it till now. Today, as i was googling "Buy me a beer", i found tons of website teaching you how to do it for wordpress. After much effort i manage to find a post teaching you how to do it here.
However, there's some problems with the code there and i can't manage to just simply cut and paste the code for use in blogspot. After much trial and error, i found that the reason the code is not working is beacuse blogspot can't have & sign in the code.
Thus, the simple solution is to replace "&" with "&" after doing that, all works fine.
Here's what you will have to do in order to add "Buy me a beer" to blogspot:
1) Sign up for a personal paypal account here or a premier account here if you do not already have a paypal account.
2) Save this icon and upload onto your own space.
3) Log in to blogspot and go to Template -> Edit Html
4) Tick the "Expand Widget Templates" Checkbox.
5) Search for <data:post.body/>
6) Replace "phostan@gmail.com" with you paypal email and "http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v235/infotrade/icon_beer.gif" with your icon url into the textfield below.
7) From the textfield above, copy and paste your own edited code below <data:post.body/>
8) Click 
to save and you are done.
Now, you'll just have to wait for your readers to buy you a beer.
I'll be very glad if you'll buy me a beer for this post. :)

I just installed a nice little tool on this site called Snap Shots that enhances links with visual previews of the destination site, interactive excerpts of Wikipedia articles, MySpace profiles, IMDb profiles and Amazon products, display inline videos, RSS, MP3s, photos, stock charts and more.
Sometimes Snap Shots bring you the information you need, without your having to leave the site, while other times it lets you "look ahead," before deciding if you want to follow a link or not.
Should you decide this is not for you, just click the Options icon in the upper right corner of the Snap Shot and opt-out.

It time for a brand new look! Since this blog started a few months back, it been the same old blogger's look. I have been wanting to change it for quite some time. Finally, after much searching and hunting, i manage to find the one i like the most. Which is the one you see here. I got it from JackBook which is a really nice blog offering very nice templates you can use for your blog for free. The blog also teaches you how to install the templates and what are the possible ways to resolve common problems.
The direct link to this template download is available here and if you really like my new template, you can download it from there and follow the instructions there. If you face any problems, feel free to leave me a comment and i'll help you as much as i can.
Basically, i will be changing template every now and then in order to give my readers a fresh new look every couple of months. Do look out for the next new template i will changing for Christmas.
