Say Goodbye to Posterous

As the title says, yes posterous will be closing on April 30, 2013. I will be missing this site which I've been using for over a year. 

Posterous is a blogging platform which is just the same as other blogging sites. It was started in May 2008 and was funded by Y Combinator. Their mission was to make an easier photo sharing and connect with your social networks. Posterous runs smoothly for years but just last  March 12, 2012, Posterous was acquired by twitter and have decided to shutdown their operation this day including their mobile applications, this means that on April 30, posterous will no longer be available either to view or to edit. 

If your worried about your files, worried no more because posterous gives us an option to backup our files and download it, simply by going to:

• Go to http://posterous.com/#backup of course you have to login your account.
• Click the request backup button next to your space name.
• Return to http://posterous.com/#backup to download a .zip file.

If you want to move all your files to another site which just the same as posterous, I'll recommend Wordpress or Squarespace or Tumblr, they offer import of files and move all your content over to either service. Remember back it up now!

The Unspoken Love

Being in love is just a normal feeling which we felt to our opposite sex. It’s the most exciting feeling a person will feel on her entire life. Let me ask you one thing, have you already experienced being in love with someone else? So I’m sure you’ll know already how it felt, right?

Being in love with someone makes your day perfect like it’s the best day in your existence. Smiles were on your face day by day and you’ll be inspired with it. But as the days goes by, would you still remain in love without telling it to her the truth? I doubt it would be so hard for you that you will not feel comfortable every time she’s around and there, you’re just looking at her. 

How great of you that you’re in love with someone else but also how unfortunate you are that you can’t tell it to her how you feel. There are lots of reason why these things happened. One is both he is ashamed and feeling uncomfortable of telling the truth or that girl has already taken by other man. Which is which? I guess you’re just ashamed of telling the truth. You know what, there’s nothing will gone missing if you tell it to her that you love her since the first time you saw her. Do not mind what she will say back the important is you have spoken the unspoken words or feeling inside your heart.  After that I’m sure everything’s fine. My last advice is please don’t hope too much or do not expect that she will say yes, sometimes you have to face rejections and its still part of being in love.

Mostly teenagers is the one who can experience this things because it’s the stage of our life where our mind and our behavior starting to change, it’s the stage that the flower starts to bloom and I just hope that until it becomes mature the flower will still be blooming.

So to every guy out there, don’t be afraid to tell to your inspiration how you feel for her because there’s nothing wrong in loving.  It will just become wrong if you will handle it in the wrong way, be gentle and have patience to her.  

The Innovation of Android Mobile Platform

Who among of us here doesn’t know the word Android? Or what does it bring to our society today especially those people that have smart phones? I’m one of the thousand users of smart phone that was benefited with the rises of Android apps in the Market. I really enjoy using the different applications I liked and downloaded from the market, from games to widgets, it’s totally amazing. 

We can say that android today is the most used platform for mobile. By having it, we can use all the Google apps that we love, yes I call it Google because Android is now under the management of Google and they called it Google Play. When you visit the site that is http://play.google.com  you can see not just hundreds but almost 600,000 applications available for you to download. Some of them have payments and some is offered free, I just used the free one and I’m really satisfied of it. 

Before only iphone has this kind of applications which is available for iOS users only, but because of the fast growing of smart phones, android was born. From then, android was being used by most smart phones and tablets users around the world. Day by day the applications in the market continue to rise and rise and rise and lots of companies today are hiring an android developer just to cater the continues needs of the mass.  What else does Android cannot offer? I think all your needs were already there, whether entertainment or interactive games, social activities like facebook, twitter, etc., and even mobile banking applications. 


So now, what are the Android applications you used on your smart phone? Well I guess it would be too long if I will include here my apps. But I’ll just give you my top 5 apps for games and 5 for widgets.

Games:
1. Plants Vs. Zombie
2. Angry Birds
3. Air Penguin
4. Fruit Ninja
5. Hungry Shark


Widgets and Apps:
1. Go Launcher
2. Handcent SMS
3. Double Twist
4. Facebook
5. BPI mobile banking

That’s just few of many applications I have in my phone, and I’m always looking for more that will suite to my needs. It’s useless to have a smart phone or tablet if you will not going or if you are not using the benefits of Android Applications. 

Android has started from small version I think… the first version released was the Froyo, followed by Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich and then the Jelly Bean. Today’s latest high end smart phones already have the Ice Cream Sandwich and the Jelly Bean is not yet released.

Help Philippines Flood Victims

I still cannot call myself lucky though I was not able to witness the real happenings in Manila because I'm am not from there. However, I felt so pity and also in great pain looking at news of what was happened there. I can feel there emptiness and sadness in life. I think it's the first time that we have experienced great flood without storm. Last time was the typhoon Ondoy but it's not that destructive as the latest flood which is caused by heavy rains brought by monsoon.

Arial view of Bulacan by: Defense Department

The flood destructs millions of properties, that's why they really need our help. It's been a tradition for us Filipinos to help each other specially in times of needs. We all know that with this tragedy, it would be too hard for everyone to recover. Their houses were damaged including their clothes and foods, no one has left except their self. It was also a very alarming when the Marikina river rises, fortunately and thanks God it doesn't continue to rise.

If you also feel the pain and emptiness of the people in Manila, you can help them by giving the any kind,  whether in cash or in goods as long as it's heartily from yours small or big it doesn't matter, the important here is you were able to help them.

Let's help them without expecting in return, without any doubts because God is watching us he knows what to do. Also prayers is the best defense in life, let's continue praying for their complete healing.

May God Bless Us All!

Butanding sa Oslob

Image Source: http://www.oslobwhalesharks.com/

Hi, I just updated my blog I'm just so busy with work... and here I'm sharing you my experienced in Oslob, Cebu...watching the Butanding or "Tuki".

Just a little informations about it...Butanding is the slow-moving filter feeding shark and is also the largest confirmed whale shark, having the length of more or less 12.65 meters and weight of 21 tonnes.

When I was having my long vacation in Oslob, Cebu, my eagerness to see the shark drives me to be at the place where it situated. Since I'm from there so the fee is just minimal. But if your not from Oslob you need to pay the regular payment for local tourist aside from foreign people.

I was there with my 2 sisters, excited for the said whale watching, we prepared our life jacket, gaggles and our camera for souvenir. The policy was explained to us by one of the official there that we should kept away from the shark for 5-6ft, no flash on camera and we should not produced too much bubbles on the water so the whale sharks won't recognized it as food.

After the policy explanation we went to the sea side to ride the bangka or "sakayan", we're about 4-6 people in one boat and it's a little bit wavy that time. When we're in the area where the butanding is located, I'm surprised of what I saw, a big, huge and harmless shark. There's one boat man who do the feeding so the shark won't go away.. maybe..

Our boat man command us to dive for those who wanted to... my sisters didn't hesitate to dive for they don't know how to swim and it's so wavy. I dived and went not nearer to the shark just exactly to see it's full length under the sea level. Absolutely, it's the biggest whale shark of all the sharks I saw. It has a big mouth with black dot something on his whole body. I was scared because the shark was very near to us..FYI..it can't be stopped to kept away from the shark for 6ft because the shark itself will come to you especially when you produced  more bubbles. So it was prohibited to produced much bubbles so that the shark won't go to you.. (the shark think its a food when you produced bubbles).


After about 30 minutes I really enjoy watching the big shark my entrance fee and other fee is worth it. Til next time if I have another time I would surely spend watching the friendly shark again.


How to get there:


From Cebu City South Terminal, you have to ride a bus like Sunrays and Ceres Bus or any means of transportation. It's about 3 hours minimum of ride to be there in Tan-awan, Oslob, Cebu and the fare is about 130-150 pesos one way ride. They have lots of rooms available for those who want's to check-in. 

A super fun Bohol tour

Bohol: The Island of the Famous Chocolate Hills

I'm so proud of myself that after a long year of dreaming to visit Bohol, the long dream has ended because last December 27 - 29 2010 together with my workmates, we went to Bohol for a tour. From Cebu port to Tagbilaran port were very excited of the beautiful spots that we will be visiting.


On day one that was December 27 we arrived in Tagbilaran port, since we already have a tour guide contacted before the tour it's really easy for us to visit those nice spots there, by the way thanks to Incon Bohol Tours specially to our tour guides, Paul Incon the owner and to Gio our tour guide for the second day and the one who get us in our hotel where we're staying on the third day, I don't know his name. On that day too, from port Paul bring us to Hinagdanan Cave, you can see our photo below.

It's really amazing cave, theirs a water pool inside which is deep and the structures of the stone were very nice. After here, we go straight to our hotel room which was very nice too, I hope I could sleep back there.


On the second day of our tour, it's time for our country side tour, we went to Baclayon Church, Butterfly sanctuary, Bayoyong, blood compact monument, to a mini zoo were two big snakes were there, then to Loboc River for our lunch, after that we take Zip Line passing across the Loboc River, tarsier sanctuary, man-made forest,  ATV ride, then Chocolate Hills. The second day was really fun, I really have a great day seeing those beautiful places in Bohol. Pictures on our second day tour below.

At Baclayon Church the second oldest church in the Philippines.

Hello Tarsier.

Funny ATV ride the best among all.

At the top of the mountain viewing the Chocolate Hills

That's the end of our tiring second day country side tour, and on our third day of tour I think it's more exciting because we rises early to have a dolphin watching, it's my first time in my entire life to see a real dolphin. See photo below.

 Dolphin watching at sea of Panglao, the photo was not that clear or the dolphins image was very small because it's very hard to capture the energetic dolphins. They're many and they're playing as you can see on the photo.

Snorkeling in Balicasag Island. This island was really nice, lots of corals and lots of fish. I'm feeding them with bread so that they will go nearer to me.

 It's me, diving on the sea of Balicasag Island.

 In the photo above, it's me in Virgin Island, it's a beautiful sand bar Island.

At Panglao Beach, we take a swim after arriving from our Island hopping. Very nice beach promise.

After that we went back to our room because it's already time to go back to Cebu. The experienced was really amazing and I'm so thankful that once in my life I fulfill one of my dream, to visit Bohols beautiful spots and that experienced will remain forever in my memories. Bohol was a very nice place to be with, quite, simple but has lots of beautiful places. 

If I were you I will also visit the places where we've been. It would be easier if you will hire a tour agency like Incon Bohol Tours for you to have an unforgettable experienced too. 

For the Incon Bohol Tours, you can reach them through Mr. Paul Bernard Incon at +639297623614, visit their site http://inconboholtours.webs.com or email them boholtour.incon45@gmail.com. Good luck and don't forget to bring your cameras.

301 redirects

How to Redirect a Web Page Using a 301 Redirect
By Herman Drost

You've just redesigned some pages of your web site. The pages have high search engine rankings that you don't want to lose. How can you safely redirect web site traffic from your old pages to the new pages without losing your rankings? You can do this by using a " 301 redirect "

What is 301 redirect?

301 redirect is the best method to preserve your current search engine rankings when redirecting web pages or a website. The code "301" is interpreted as "moved permanently". After the code, the URL of the missing or renamed page is noted, followed by a space, then followed by the new location or file name. You implement the 301 redirect by creating a .htaccess file.

What is a .htaccess file?

When a visitor/spider requests a web page, your web server checks for a .htaccess file. The .htaccess file contains specific instructions for certain requests, including security, redirection issues and how to handle certain errors.

How to implement the 301 Redirect

1. To create a .htaccess file, open notepad, name and save the file as .htaccess (there is no extension).

2. If you already have a .htaccess file on your server, download it to your desktop for editing.

3. Place this code in your .htaccess file:

redirect 301 /old/old.htm http://www.you.com/new.htm

4. If the .htaccess file already has lines of code in it, skip a line, then add the above code.

5. Save the .htaccess file

6. Upload this file to the root folder of your server.

7. Test it by typing in the old address to the page you've changed. You should be immediately taken to the new location.

Notes: Don't add "http://www" to the first part of the statement - place the path from the top level of your site to the page. Also ensure that you leave a single space between these elements:

redirect 301 (the instruction that the page has moved)

/old/old.htm (the original folder path and file name)

http://www.you.com/new.htm (new path and file name)

When the search engines spider your site again they will follow the rule you have created in your .htaccess file. The search engine spider doesn't actually read the .htaccess file, but recognizes the response from the server as valid.

During the next update, the old file name and path will be dropped and replaced with the new one. Sometimes you may see alternating old/new file names during the transition period, plus some fluctuations in rankings. According to Google it will take 6-8 weeks to see the changes reflected on your pages.

Other ways to implement the 301 redirect:

1. To redirect ALL files on your domain use this in your .htaccess file if you are on a unix web server:

redirectMatch 301 ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com
redirectMatch permanent ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com

You can also use one of these in your .htaccess file:

redirect 301 /index.html http://www.domain.com/index.html
redirect permanent /index.html http://www.domain.com/index.html
redirectpermanent /index.html http://www.domain.com/index.html

This will redirect "index.html" to another domain using a 301-Moved permanently redirect.

2. If you need to redirect http://mysite.com to http://www.mysite.com and you've got mod_rewrite enabled on your server you can put this in your .htaccess file:

Options +FollowSymLinks 

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]

or this:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Tip: Use your full URL (ie http://www.domain.com) when obtaining incoming links to your site. Also use your full URL for the internal linking of your site.

3. If you want to redirect your .htm pages to .php pages and you've got mod_rewrite enabled on your server you can put this in your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule (.*).htm$ /$1.php

4. If you wish to redirect your .html or .htm pages to .shtml pages because you are using Server Side Includes (SSI) add this code to your .htaccess file:

AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml .html .htm
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
DirectoryIndex index.shtml index.html
Frequently Asked Question:

What's the difference in using a 301 redirect versus a meta redirect?

Meta Redirect

To send someone to a new page (or site) put this in the head of your document:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10; url=http://mynewsite.com/">

Content="10; tells the browser to wait 10 seconds before transfer, choose however long you would like, you can even choose 0 to give a smoother transition, but some (really old) browsers aren't capable of using this so I'd suggest putting a link on that page to your new site for them.

With a meta redirect the page with the redirect issues a 200 OK status and some other mechanism moves the browser over to the new URL. With a 200 OK on both pages, the search engine wants to index both the start page and the target page - and that is a known spam method (set up 10,000 domains full of keywords for the search engines to index then meta redirect the "real visitor" after 0 or 1 seconds to the "real site" ) so using it gets you penalized.

The 301 redirect simply issues a Permanently Moved message in the HTTP header which tells the search engine to only index the target URL.

Conclusion: The safest way to redirect old web pages to the new pages or old web site to the new web site and keep the same search engine rankings is to use the 301 redirect. It will also pass on the page rank from your old site to your new site.

UVCS Batch Pictures 2011

Batch Pictures Slideshow: Eliezer’s photo stocks during college days.UVCS,

Be on time with Gmail Custom Time

Have you heard or tried to use already this new Gmail Custom Time? If not, then it's your time to try. Just like me, it's also my first time to use this application from Gmail.You can now send mails by selecting “Set custom time” from the Compose view. Any email you send to the past appears in the proper chronological order in your recipient’s inbox. You can opt for it to show up read or unread by selecting the appropriate option.

So what does this mean and is it for real? well it means that your email can travel through time and yes its real for those people who don’t know the day today and are not much familiar with Google’s sense of humor. 

 
How do I use it?

Google to become second biggest social website in 12 months

Upon examining the first month of results since the launch of the new social media platform Google +1, it is set to become a key competitor to Facebook & Twitter.Uptake has been strong, with Google reporting over 25 million accounts have already been set up – and they are still in the Beta testing stage. This could be a little pre-emptive however, but there are signs it is heading in the right direction based on some of the survey’s findings:-          45% of users report reading content once a day or more (only Facebook’s 62% is higher among social networks) -          46% of Google+ users report creating content (e.g., creating posts; sharing links) at least once a week. This competes with Twitter (42%) – where effortless content creation is its heart.Perhaps more interestingly, is the finding that the demographics of Google+ are substantially different to the other main social platforms. The current uptake of users shows the majority from a young male demographic.-          3 men for every 2 women (vs. 1 man for every 1.2 women on Facebook)-          43% of membership is 18-29 (vs. 31% for Facebook -          59% has a college degree (vs. 37% for Facebook)-          48% are single (vs. 33% of Facebook users)Again, this is limited data – as Google+ is so new (and only a small number of people were interviewed), but it does suggest the platform could be being used in a different way to Facebook – although social, it is less focused on the profile page and more on the sharing element; it has features that definitely appeal to a different audience. Some of these features include Circles- the ability to separate groups of friends – you choose who and what they see within that particular Circle. For example, you can create a ‘Co-workers’ or ‘Family’ Circle. This is easier to navigate than Facebook friend groups and lists. This is also one of the features that is clearly separating Google+ from Facebook. Whereas Facebook advocates a more public disclosure, Google+ is the opposite – promoting the idea of separating your social groups quite literally.  Whilst at the moment Google+ is still in its testing phase, it seems quite simple to manage these Circles. However, we envisage it could potentially get quite tricky to organise all your Circles, especially as usage grows. Although the number of Google+ users is expected to rise dramatically over the coming year, there are still doubts as to the incentive for Facebook users to move to the Google network. Those that have a Gmail account are much more likely to try Google+ due to the fact they are already in the Google ‘clique’. Also, Facebook are not likely to make it easy to leave – it is quite difficult to export data from the platform – such as photos, information, contacts. Another thing to remember is that Facebook got really entertaining when all your friends signed up and it did not develop in a day – it took time.

Seo Tips: A Valuable Link Building Tips

As I had posted in my previous topic about SEO, it is one of the most crucial methods you can use for website promotion. On-page SEO is important because it doesn't take you really far. Once the on-page is set properly done, then the next thing to do is to link build a good quality inbound weblinks which can help your site place on the first page of the search engine results pages or SERP's.


The following are the valuable tips in link building of your website but if you're an SEO expert, then these tips will remind you of the basic yet essential link building strategies.

1. Go for Higher Quality Links


All links are not created equal. SEO links that have higher value provide greater optimization benefits compared to low quality links. There are several factors that can determine the quality of website links. These are:

    • The reputation and trustworthiness of the domain giving the website links. For instance, a link from cnn.com would have higher value compared to a link from a website that ranks lower in the Alexa rank checker.

    • How relevant the anchor text is to the link. This means that an anchor text saying "fish tank" would be far more relevant and valuable than a "click here" anchor text.

    • The link's location within the site structure. For obvious reasons, SEO links embedded on a site's homepage is more beneficial than a link that comes from a deeply hidden page.

    • The link's visibility on a webpage. It also matters where the inbound link is located on a webpage. Website links at the top of a webpage are more visible than those at the bottom.

    • Similarly, a link that's one of three on a page is more valuable than a link that's one of 80.

Now that you have an idea of how website links are given value, the question is: How do you get high quality links? The tips below will explain different methods of effective search engine optimization link building.


2. Create Useful, Relevant and Interesting Content


Building superior quality content remains an effective method of getting SEO links from other websites. With excellent content, not only will you be able to build backlinks naturally, requesting a link also becomes easier since the partner website can benefit from the link request as well.

In addition, building good content is one way to get all your SEO links for free. Link baiting is a method made for the sole purpose of attracting links using interesting and useful content. All you have to do is create a site with great content, and wait for the website links to come.


3. SEO Link Building with Blog and RSS Feeds


Promoting your site via blogs and RSS feeds is an easy and great way to boost your site's exposure and SEO link building opportunities. Blog readers are always looking for interesting sites and posts. If your website is listed in their preferred blog and RSS directories, there's a decent chance that your site will be found.


4. Submit Your Site to Directories


Another easy way to get website links is through directory submissions. Although this method doesn't quite give good quality SEO links, it's a good place to start if you're new to search engine optimization link building.

There are two ways to submit your site to directories. You can use a directory submission service that automatically sends your site to over 100 directories, or you can manually submit the site yourself. Doing it automatically saves you a lot of time; while manual submission allows you to easily send your site to major directories (the more popular directories usually don't accept automatic submissions).


5. Research on Your Competitors' SEO Links


Look up the sites that are providing links to the websites of your competitors. This is a good way to start your SEO link building efforts, since websites that link to your competitors are likely to be interested in linking to your site as well. However, before implementing this strategy, make sure that your website is as good as your competitor's.

There are many SEO link building tools that can help you check your competitors' SEO links. SEOBook Back Link Analyzer provides comprehensive backlink information. It's free, but only runs on Windows. There's also the impressive (paid) SEO SpyGlass, which runs on Mac, Linux and Windows.


6. Writing and Submitting Articles


There are several websites out there that you can submit your articles to. EzineArticles, for example, is a popular article site that allows you to post writings, as well as build website links. You can either create SEO links within the article or at the bottom section of the article called the "bio box" or "author box."

Again, it's important that your articles are useful and informative. Bloggers, news reporters and other industry experts might be interested in posting your article to their blog or creating SEO links to your site. So, make your article as interesting as possible.

7. Purchase Links and Look for Link Brokers

Although Google is becoming stricter on link renting, it's possible to purchase temporary website links. The reason why Google is cracking down on link renting is that these SEO links are there on your site one day, and then suddenly disappear once you stop renting them.

The Dos and Don'ts of Sexting

Anthony Weiner's Twitter scandal certainly makes the list of "don'ts," but there are ways to send sexy text messages — at the right time and to the right person. Follow these rules of sexting etiquette.

By Beth W. Orenstein

Medically reviewed by Lindsey Marcellin, MD, MPH

 

After U.S. Representative Anthony Weiner copped to sending a racy photo of himself to a woman via Twitter — as well as to a history of online infidelity that included sending sexy photos, Facebook messages, and emails to at least five other women over the last three years — the scandal has left many people wondering why anyone would do such a thing.
After all, isn’t sending out sexy photos just asking to be caught?
The Weiner firestorm aside — the congressman is married and he lied repeatedly about the incident before admitting the truth — sexting, or sharing intimate photos or messages via cell phone texts and emails, isn’t always a bad idea. For committed couples, some experts say that sexting can actually be a great way to sizzle up your sex life.
“A sext can be as simple as writing to your partner what you want to do when you see him later,” says Olivia Baniuszewicz co-author (along with Debra Goldstein) of Flirtexting: How to Text Your Way into His Heart. It creates anticipation and build-up throughout your day, which can boost your libido and add some newness and variety to your usual sexual routine.
But to avoid embarrassment, consider these dos and don’ts before you hit send on that sext message:
Sexting Dos
Baniuszewicz offers these rules for sending successful sexy messages to your spouse or partner:

• DO send a sext to your significant other while you are out to dinner with friends. There’s something very exciting about exchanging sexy and covert messages in public.
• DO remember that less is more. There are ways to be suggestive without putting it all out there. It’s sexier to not take it all off for a camera phone. Instead, send sensual, suggestive photo texts. For example, you might take a picture of your bed and write “Room for two” or take a picture of your lips and text “They miss you.”
• DO sext your partner if you’re shy by nature. It’s a great approach if you find it hard to verbalize what you like sexually. You can use the casual environment of a text to reveal your sexual fantasies.
• DO sext if you’re a long distance away on business. This can help you keep the spark alive and remain close when you’re apart. When you're about to go to sleep and you miss your partner, text that you're all alone in that big bed of yours and ask for a suggestion for something to do. He or she will gladly take it from there.

Sexting Don’ts
Here are Baniuszewicz’s cautions about texting:

• DON’T sext with someone you just recently started dating or can’t trust implicitly. You’re taking the risk of having your photo leaked or forwarded, turning off the person on the receiving end, or having the photo get into the wrong hands.
• DON’T ever include your face in a naked photo text. This protects you from embarrassment if the photo ends up being seen by someone you know.
• DON’T take sexting requests too seriously. Have a little fun teasing your partner. If he or she’s begging for you to send a sexy picture of yourself, and you’re not comfortable with it, take a picture of your Victoria Secret catalog or Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue and write “Not mine, but I’m still thinking of you.”
• DON’T forget to delete any sexts or photos after viewing them. This is especially important if there are any children in your home who might get a hold of your phone (kids are more tech-savvy than you think!)
• DON’T engage in cellular infidelity. As Congressman Weiner can now attest, sexting with someone outside of your marriage or relationship is a form of cheating.
