When I posted Make Raccoon Mobsite Password Protected, I checked on my technorati account if it was automatically pinged. I am aware that technorati is having their maintenance again, fans were gone again. Manual pinging is a regular habit after each article posting. Anyway, I noticed that I have an additional technorati authority.
When I checked on the link, the site had copied the whole post including my signature “glitch” at the end of the post. This was the third time I experienced copyblogging of my blog contents. But this time, I think this is sort of what other bloggers called as “auto content”… instant article from feed subscription.
Correct me if I’m wrong, I believe copying a part of the post is ok provided that the site linked back to the source site. I always do that for justification or additional information on my post, it doesn’t matter if its a dofollow or nofollow link. For me, linking back is showing respect to the intellectual property of the original writer.
I felt sad and angry at the same time, I commented to that site to delete my copied article on their site. Good thing that they’ve already deleted it. Plagiarism is a crime, I don’t want to be a victim again for the nth time. I will start using copyscape banner again for easy checking. Actually, I forgot to place the banner when I moved to my own domain. Lesson learned again from blogging, I hope copybloggers will soon realize that the site they’ve copied will be penalized by Google and other search engine for duplicate contents. There is such thing as karma…
I did mentioned from my previous entry that I have plans of changing my web host before my newly renewed account expires. That means, I will be migrating all my files, I admit I have a cold feet on doing that. I’m afraid that I might commit mistake on uploading files.
I’m aware that when it comes to web hosting security, there’s also a security issue on uploading incomplete files aside from data loss, long server downtimes and other known web host problems. I don’t want ebooktechie to opened its door to hackers. Updating a blog maybe easier than securing a self hosted blog but having enough web host information can make bloggers’ life easier.
There were instances that I shared files from my mobile phone, using Raccoon mobile application and serves as my mobile web server. Sometimes, I just SMS the link and for some reason the recipient send the link to other people. What if I don’t want the files to be shared to unknown persons? Who would be happy if you are getting abused in a way, this is the reason why mobile web server should be password protected if needed.
The steps:
Edit httpd.conf, look for the following line
# Uncomment the following line if you don’t want to let anybody unknown
# see your home-page.
# Require valid-user
Remove # before the word Require
Send as mms > cancel. Go to fexplorer, open inbox, copy & paste the file E:apache/conf. Rename it as httpd.conf
Edit the file “users”, also located at E:apache/conf. At the bottom of the file, you will see
#hello:world
–Remove #
You can also change the username:password
You can add as many username:pw as you want. Now, there will be no more uninvited guest on your mobile web server.
I’ve just renewed Mobile eBook’s hosting at GoDaddy yesterday for another 3 months. Actually, I have read many negative feedbacks regarding godaddy but the thing I like about godaddy is they have affordable plans and they accept monthly payments. When I decided to moved to my own domain early this year with a few balance from paypal, I didn’t know that I also need to get a web host. That time, all I can do was ask recommendations from my co-bloggers. Comparing each of them their positive view of view made me confuse in a way which one is better.
Searching for the best web hosting service is time consuming. Relying on recommendations sometimes end up cancelling the service without going through a certain research. A certain web host might be the best for a certain blogger but not to all bloggers simply because we have individual requirements on choosing a web host. I heard of some bloggers, changing their web host from time to time and eventually stop moving when they already found the best web host for them. Migrating files is also time consuming, maybe the best way on choosing the right one is to test the service.
Why am I making this post now? Simply because I’m thinking of moving to another web host. Sad to say, I’m not happy with my current host’s customer support. Good thing that they have monthly rates which is my primary requirement for 150GB space. I’ve tried searching for the best web host place suitable for me, perhaps a comparison of web hosts. After reading some articles I found informative, I guess I made a choice where to move before my web host expires. A simple advice is to equipped yourself with enough information before moving.
Its been a while since I made my last post regarding Entrecard. Entrecard came out with new awesome features. The linked blog feature allows entrecard users to add multiple blogs to their account. This is good news to bloggers who have multiple blogs, no need to sign out and sign in back again to another account just to drop cards. I’ve already linked my personal blog, its so easy to use now. The switch link can be found at the upper right side, beside the email address. No need to clear cookies now and sending credits to my other blog is just a click.
Anyway, entrecard will be giving away a total of 75,000 credits to people who add new blogs to their accounts, 15,000 for every bracket below. Since I already added my personal blog, I qualify for 2-5 blogs.
2-5 blogs in account
5-10 blogs in account
10-15 blogs in account
15-20 blogs in account
20-25 blogs in account
Another good news is Entrecard launched their official ebook. Should you be a beginner or you may want to know other information about entrecard, you may find it interesting. Click here to download the pdf format ebook. I also converted the file to repligo format so that I can read it on my mobile during my free time and share it here. And here is the repligo format.
