Let Me Know What You Want To Know

I know, the title is kinda odd for a techie blog. I could use the common phrase “I’m Back” for not updating my blog for over 2 weeks. I never left blogging although I’m not that active also to my other blogs. I cannot call it as blogger’s block, its not laziness but I admit I become unproductive on blogging. I have my reasons…

1st: My kids’ summer vacation were extended for 10 days because there was 1 student infected with A(H1N1) virus in their school. Naturally, priority comes first and I can’t blog.

2nd: I almost lost my interest on this blog when I discovered that my Entrecard image was plagiarized by another blogger in same category. I didn’t received any response from Entrecard but the result was ok after 10 days. BTW, I never stop reciprocating drops on this blog despite lack of updates.

3rd: I lost my “to do list” for this blog. As you can see, I can’t post mobile ebook topics such as ebook conversion without testing the software or application. I have to make another one.

I apologized for being “glitchy” and unproductive but I’m back. Hopefully, my blogging time will be back to normal next week starting Monday. I need a favor from those who landed here searching for a certain topic on mobile ebooks. Please let me know what you want to know by commenting. You could also suggest topics that might be interesting for this blog.

Hmnn. I guess, a need a catchy image or badge so every visitors will be aware that they can request for certain topics. What do you think?

Technorati Favorites Vanished!

The only reason that hold me to move on my own domain is my technorati. It wasn’t much that time but with the authority of 59 and 16 fans, it was something for 3 months blogging. Although I didn’t actually know at that time how to improve my rank, it was hard to decide. Better move on my own domain early than be sorry when time comes. I should have started with my own domain and host in the first place.

Anyway, when I moved to my new domain, I’ve added it to my account without deleting the old one. Why? I want to monitor if there’s additional authorities and fans.

I used to have over a hundred of technorati favorites, when I check them last night, all of my old favorites were vanished. Now, I can’t get back on my old favorites’ sites. I really don’t know if it was me, technorati’s glitch or because of my old blog still on my account.  I checked on my old fans (old blog) and saw their favorites, there are some that also lost their old favorites. Better check yours now.

Glitch On Comments

If you’re a regular of this blog, I dunno if you noticed that the akismet widget is showing on my site again. This is to monitor my spam even if I’m not login. When this blog is in wordpress.com, I usually received a minimum of 100 spam daily. Of course, it did gave me a terrible headache when I moved to a new domain and host. They’ve followed me here but akismet still working great to handle them.

I’ll be making a comment policy soon on this blog, this post will serve the same purpose for the meantime. The blog Mobile eBooks is using a dofollow plugin, however I’ve placed a rel=”nofollow” code to articles with excessive links to avoid Big G of branding my blog as a link farm. Other articles remain as dofollow.

My blog tackles anything I came up with blogging, mobile ebooks, mobile application, ebook conversion, computer software (related to ebook) and other mobile techie stuff. All comments are moderated from the start.

I’ve installed top commentator widget last week and resets on monthly basis. I still have flaws on my template customization and its not possible that the number of comments will be shown as of the moment. Top commentators, of course are dofollow and will help my commentators increase their ranking and technorati authority plus their exposure on this blog.

I’ve also installed the commentluv plugin which I love very much on the blogs I visit frequently. However, it will not follow until you’ve reach a certain number of comments here, but the link of your latest entry is still there if you provide your web/blog url. Please be warned that on this blog, I’m looking for quality comments related to the article that will help each other accordingly. Provided that you post a quality comment but I dislike your recent entry, I will delete the link and the comment remains. What are these links? To make it clear, links from adult site, gambling or hate related site will be deleted. If you wish to tell me something, feel free to email me at ebooktechie@gmail.com.

Tagging is allowed on this blog provided that the meme is related to my blog’s contents, otherwise I’ll be making the tag on my personal blog. I also allow out of topic comments but avoid making it look like “spam”. I love comments and I hope i made myself clear. Should you have any “violent reactions” regarding the issue, let me know.



Why Glitch?

Hello world!  I’m not new to blogging stuff.  I used to have a mobile gblog account since 2004, updated regularly.  I terribly missed blogging.  How I wish my old blog allows exporting of entries.  Whew!  Anyway, I’m still not decided what to post here but for sure I will love to stay.

Why “glitch”?  Life itself is a glitch, not technically though (LOL)…  small errors or should I say mistakes that made some things in life become complicated.  Also, I used glitch as my nick at my old blog.  I’m a  mobile eBook addict, love the convenience of reading on my phone.
