Help still needed

hmm. ques­tion basi­cally means that blog­ging is only sacred if it remains in cyber­space. hav­ing a news­pa­per col­umn by blog­gers may make it appear that blog­ging isn’t restricted to the net so it loses its shine in cyber­space because it can be done else­where. did i just make it more com­pli­cated? haha.

Yes, but blog­ging can only remain in cyber­space. Non? Yes, I think so. Yah. Hmmm. OK, tankew.

ay go check if your feed is valid. or are you using blog­lines? i remem­ber read­ing some­where that there have been some prob­lems with some word­press blogs updat­ing on bloglines…

well, here’s my two cents worth…
my under­stand­ing of what the ques­tion wants to ask is:
your opin­ion on whether the “sacred-ness” of blog­ging itself will be com­pro­mised due to the fact that two of our country’s most promi­nent blog­gers have moved into writ­ing for news­pa­per columns.

This issue arises from the fact that blog­ging has always been hugely asso­ci­ated with the WWW (or rather its birth­place is the WWW). Thus mov­ing into writ­ing for news­pa­per columns with material/writing styles from yr blogs aka “blog­ging offline” per­haps endangers/jeopardizes the iden­tity of blog­ging, as it shows that blog­ging cur­rently still isnt the mass media of choice and ulti­mately to reach a larger audi­ence, news­pa­pers columns are the way to go?

saw u on TV with mr brown.……u sure look good on da TV screen =D

rOck on~~*

Haha­ha­ha­ha­ha­ha­ha­haha!!! African Sea Coconut cough mix­ture!!! hahaha!! that’s what i used to take when i was young!!!! argh­hhh!!! long time since i last saw that packaging!!!

Blogs where got sacred?

First “they” have to define “sacred” as in why is blog­ging sacred, in what sense? Here’s my take if I inter­pret cor­rectly that is, blogs are known to be a domain for free speech or maybe ide­al­ism depend­ing on indi­vid­u­als. Blog writ­ings have been in a way, often col­lo­quial in writ­ing style and with­out much self-restrain in views. Now, news­pa­per columns as we know par­tic­u­larly Sin­ga­pore, requires great care in express­ing and bring­ing mes­sages across to the gen­eral audi­ence. So, I infer from the ques­tion that based itself on blog­ging on “hard-copy” such as news­pa­per? Now can that be allowed in the first place as in “ope­ness” like we do in our blogs and what makes blog­ging “sacred” is much like a sanc­tu­ary for mate­ri­als not meant to be con­fronted by regulations.

Pretty much like invit­ing a witch doc­tor to per­form some vir­gin sac­ri­fi­cial rites that is believed to be able to heal rarer ill­nesses in Orchard, in the pub­lic. You gotta think think twice about the gore and oh, nudity and WTH…whatever it is, blogs shall always be a sacred tomb, a clois­ter for all restricted and some­what twisted ide­al­ism maybe.

Could some one help me with my WordPress…how do you get past open­ing port 80? how do you put it on the inter­net? how do you get rid of that infer­nal localhost.local thing?

Hey, I’m the one ask­ing for help, nick! But here’s a tip, since my blog is up and yours isn’t. You have to install Word­Press on your server. OK, when you’re done with that, come back here and ask again for the next step. So excit­ing. Like Amaz­ing Race.

Alright I have it installed on the Apache…whatjamacallit. Any­how I can access it now, only prob­lem is like get­ting incom­ing traf­fic to access port 80 or some­thing? FIY I use a Belkin router.

To Mr Miyagi,

Are you using the lat­est ver­sion Word­Press? There is an update some­time back HERE

I was using another Word­Press hosted blog at http://www.blogsome.com where they have an update to fix some bugs. You may wanna chk with the your host if you’re using a Blog-Host.

That’s abt all I know as a 2mth o blogger ..

As for nick .. well I m not too sure if it’s a good idea to dis­cuss this on some­one else’e blog .. turn­ing it into a forum .. all I can say is that u r prob­a­bly try­ing to host at home thru’ ur broad­band .. and your ISP has blocked port 80. You can find more help at hardwarezone’s forum.

Sorry about all those com­ments. prob­lem is im mov­ing to china soon and still want to keep a blog…but you know the chi­nese gov bans blog­ger and all that so i thought ask­ing you was a good idea. really sorry.

if you finally get sick of this kubrick default tem­plate, do check out alex king’s word­press themes. huge col­lec­tion, cos of the theme com­pe­ti­tions. if you do down­load and edit them, and things end up look­ing funny at the presentation>theme switcher page, just remem­ber to delete the com­mented off chunk at the top of the style.css (where it talks about theme name and stuff). have fun

p.s you’re my fave blog­ger cos of the 21jul affin­ity haha.
