Bought Some Much Needed For My New Computer

I recently bought a whole new lot of “cheap” software to use for my MacBook that I just got.

1. Ecto

   

2. iSale

   

3. SousChef

   

4. World of Goo

   

5. PhoneView

   

6. LittleSnapper

   

7. Acorn

   

8. Kinemac

   

9. WireTap Studio

I bought Ecto as I needed it to replace Windows Live Writer which I used to use on my old laptop. I was thinking of buyinh Mars Edit instead of Ecto, but Mars Edit was more than double the price of Ecto so in the end I decided to go with Ecto.

I haven’t had time to download all the applications I bought yet, very busy studying

WebHostingBuzz - The New Web Host For Drett

I recently changed my web host for Drett to Web Hosting Buzz a few weeks ago as my old plan at another web host was expiring. Although my new plan is slightly more expensive than my old plan, it offers so much more and thus enables me to start thinking about running more sites on my current plan.

During the period of transition you might have experienced some downtime, ranging from a couple of hours to 2 days. I’m really sorry about what happened, but many things played a part in it such as the internet not working properly just as I had changed my DNS for my domain name and I could not upload to required files to my new host.

My new plan is relatively cheap at only 3.95/month and gives me unlimited addon domains, unlimited subdomains, unlimited domain parking, unlimited FTP accounts and unlimited MYSQL databases whilst providing me with 375Gb of disk space and 5000Gb of bandwidth. I have never found a web host as cheap as this that gives me the option of unlimited addon domains and unlimited MYSQL, so to me this was a really good bargain.

Their uptime so far has been really good, the only time my server went down was for an emergency maintenance which they informed us within minutes of it happening. Their support has been pretty good too, answering my pre-sale and technical support information.

I highly recommend Web Hosting Buzz to any one who is in need of a new web host as so far this host has been spectacular for me performed better than I expected .

You Can Now Advertise On Drett

As the title of the posts says, you can now buy advertising space on Drett. While designing my new Wordpress theme for Drett (the current one I’m using, it’s new!), I designed to allow for premium placing of advertisements. And now since I have more or less finished designing the theme and am currently using it, I am now selling advertising space on Drett.

Currently there are a few ways to advertise on Drett, the sitewide 125 x 125 button advertisement that is located on the top right corner of the sidebar, the post-level 300 x 250 square advertisement and the free products/services review.

As Drett is a relatively new site, I’m selling my advertisement spots at a really cheap rate – so cheap you have to admit it is cheap. The sitewide 125 x 125 button advertisement space is going at a rate of $1.00 for a period of 30 days. That is really cheap especially since it is in a prime position, right near the top of the page.

The post-level 300 x 250 square advertisement space is going at a cheap rate of $5.00 for a period of 30 days. This post-level advertisement space is a non-rotating advertisement space, which means that only 1 person can buy it for the period of 30 days and that 1 person’s advertisement will appear either right at the top, in the middle, or  right at the bottom of the posts on every single posts of Drett. If that posts is particularly popular, the more the better for you

The one other way to advertise on Drett is with the free product/services review. This means you send me or provide to me a product or service you want to be reviewed, and once I have chosen to review it, I’ll write a fair and informative review, thus bringing up the buzz level of your product or service . It can either be an ebook you are selling, or an invitation to a beta site or even a normally paid service provided free to me.

Oh, even though I have stated the prices of the advertisement spaces, if you’re good at haggling, then you might even get to lower the already incredible low advertisement spaces rates. So what are you waiting for? Use the contact form at the end of the posts to contact me and make a deal.

Some Changes Coming To Categories and Permalinks

Drett recently has been undergoing some changes, some good some bad, some done with a purpose, some unknowingly. .

I’m currently try to decide how to categorize my posts, whether I want to use sub-categories (which I’m still against), what categories I want on my blog and so forth. It’s kind of a big thing for me as I’m currently redesigning a new theme for Drett, and I need to know all these details so I can design with certain out-comes in mind. BTW, the template is on the drawing board, and when the new one comes out, I’ll be giving this template which I named experimental1 away for free, all I want in return is that you keep the backlinks.

The other major thing that might change without me wanting it to is the permalinks of the posts on this site. I’m using Windows Live Messenger to write out my posts and everything, and I recently found out that time I set for my posts to be published and my actual posting time has a few hours difference. Some of you might think it’s a small deal, since it’s just a couple of hours, but for someone like me who uses the month and date in the permalink structure, it means I might run the risk of actually posting into the day before when I’m editing my post. Anyway, I’m looking around the internet for ways to solve this problem. Another reason why my permalinks might change is that I’m correcting some posts slugs which I feel is incorrect.

Other minor changes I’m going to be making is small aesthetics changes.

Anyway, this is just a heads up to you all. I’m going to do some serious cleaning up and tidying up of my blog.

P.S. If you guys find any error when trying to posts comments or whenever, please send an email to ddkoh92@gmail.com. It would be much appreciated. Thanks
