Server hosting is currently having database overload.

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Well, i guess one has to be patient. If you can’t read my blog, that’s mean my host database overloaded. I’ve called them a few times. And finally, they told me their problem and promise to fix everything asap.
My host is a nice chap. His customer service is excellent. Never gets annoyed with my dummy question. And most of all reachable by phone, email or yahoo messenger. Maybe that’s the reason his server overloaded.
Too popular. Yo, Shuth! Cepat jayakan server baru tu ya. Ganbatte!

The biggest mistake of host transfer that dummy must know.

If you had follow my blog for the past few days. You will know that my site was down for 3 full days.
I wasn’t aware that transfer hosting is so much troublesome. I didn’t do enough research before buying and ending hosting. As the matter of fact. I did it last minute.

DON’T EVER DO LAST MINUTE TRANSFER!!

Anyway, guess what, I am back to my old hosting. Luckly, my old faithful host is good enough to spare me extra days before cutting off hosting service after my time ended. The new host that I had subscribed is too unlucky not to have me. :). Anyway, they stated there 15 days money back guarantee. I am sure I’ll be able to get back my money.

Why do i ditch my new host?

1) They do not have 24hr Customer service as stated. And they only do 5 days work. Damn right! 5 days only.
2) They couldn’t solve my problem, which the nice CS guy really did his 120% effort to help.
Too bad he is lack of WP knowledge to do anything. I don’t blame him.
3) This website down thingy is freaking me off. What if my site has business? They can’t compensate me money.

Well, that’s all for today. I’ll tried to post all my experience on transfer hosting failure to everyone. Especially for those, who is as dummy as i do in web hosting.

These will be the steps for us to watch out if we ever want a transfer.

Hidden post editor button in the wordpress 2.1

Well this is a good news. It was quite annoying whenever i type my post. Each time the post was not align-center the way i want it to be. I had been searching at Google for the answer. Quite often there will be plenty of options. After reading all the post, i was often floating without a clear answer.

Now, again as i change my theme. The layout of all my post was looking horribly. I again search Google for answer.
Luckly i ran across solo-Technology. In his article WordPress 2.1 - More Editor Options enlighten me.

It seems that Wordpress 2.1 had a hidden post editor option.

Go from this:
wordpress button ori

To this:
wordpress-buttons add-on

Isn’t it amazing? Just buttons click away. Why, Wordpress should make a shout to everyone!

Ok, here’s the steps;

Near Death Experience - WP 2.2

Like my title above. I had my near death experience minutes ago. I’d shock, stunt and flat down then shock, stunt, woke up and alive.

It was my bravery act to try upgrading my Wordpress 2.1.3 to Wordpress 2.2. Mind you, I knew nuts on CPANEL and FTP and my wordpress set up was done by my friends’ {Cloudie} favor.
