07 Jul 09 Holy Bible for Wordpress
I have search the internet and in both WordPress and Joomla sites but I could not find a component or plugin for the Bible.
Nobody seems to have create this component or plugin for either WordPress or Joomla.
In the end I decided to go through the tedious process of copying and pasting each of the 66 books of the bible into WordPress.
I have created the King James (KJV) bible as WordPress Pages since they are basically static contents. The Posts are left untouched.
I have exported these King James Bible Pages into WordPress extended RSS or WXR format. Once you’ve saved the download file, you can use the Import function on WordPress (under TOOLS) to import the books of the bible into your blog.
Browse the King James Bible (KJV) here and see how it looks like. You may need to choose a Theme like Simplex that has drop down Pages menu.
Drop me a note if you are interested to have the King James Bible in your blog.

26 May 09 What is the buzz about Wolfram Alpha?
Wolfram Alpha (www.wolframalpha.com) is new and interesting online search engine that could beat Google Search at its own game.
Wolfram Alpha does not generate the usual links to information from across the web to answer your search query. Instead, it tries to understand what you’ve asked and presents factual data from a database.
It presents its results in tables, charts, diagrams and other visual means as an answer to your query.
I doubt Wolfram Alpha would make the conventional search engines obsolete since its strength is in crunching factual data . It does not do well with non technical daata such as music, news and hobbies so users looking for such information will not find this search engine userful.
For people who need information such as “Youtube users” , “Population of Cyprus” or “Weather in June 2008″, this search engine would definitely come in very handy and useful
Microsoft is supposed to unveil the new Kumo Search engine at “All Things Digital”organized by Wall Street Journal (WSJ) next week. Will this give us a different perspective or a new experience?

25 May 09 Power of the Notepad
Most lay users do not know that the Notepad found under START>> PROGRAM>> ACCESSORY is a very useful tool. Webmasters and Software developers often use then Note pad to write their codes.
The Note pad is very useful even for lay users. I call the Notepad as the “text laundering machine”. When you copy chunks of texts from a website or word document you often inherit all the other embdedded codes. To remove these codes, you just need to paste the copied texts into the Notepad. Once you have copied them into the Notepad, you would have cleaned up all the embedded codes.
You can now copy the texts from the Noteopad and paste them into another document, website or blog. This way you do not have to worry about the messy embedded codes which affect the look of the document.
If you have a chunk of messy excel data you can also pass it through a Notepad to clean up the embeded formulas or codes.

25 May 09 Wrong Date Format in Mail Merged Word Document
You set the date in the excel file to a certain format say DD-MM-YYYY but when you finished mail merging with word document the date format becomes something else. How do you fix this problem to make sure the mail merge document has the same date format as the data in the excel file?
Date formatting in Excel is a property of the cell containing the date value, not a property of the data itself. To have it render the way you want it, right-click the date field in your Word main document & select Edit Field. Click the Field Codes button, then add the following mask at the end of the MERGEFIELD [field_name]:
\@ “d-mm-yyyy”

11 Apr 09 Where is my WordPress.com API key?
Where is my WordPress.com API key?
Every user of WordPress.com gets a unique API key they can use to access a number of services.
This key should be kept as secret as your password
To find your key go to your Dashboard and then click on Users ->Your Profile (or click on your name in the upper right hand corner) and you should see a sentence that says Your WordPress.com API key is: followed by a string of 12 letters and numbers.
You can copy and paste that string to any place where it is asked for by a service you want to use.

11 Apr 09 Blogging by email using Postie Plugin
Is not easy to maintain a blog if you have to login to a website all the time. Postie allows you to update your blog by email.
Step 1: Download the postie plugin at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/postie/
Step 2: Make sure you have the correct version of Wordpress installed.
Step 3: Install Postie by clicking on Plugins on the left hand menu of Wordpress admin login. Click Install and then activate the plugin.
These instructions are copied from Wordpress:
Make sure all postie code is its own directory inside of wp-content/plugins/postie
Make two directories in your main wordpress directory wp-filez and wp-photos
Make sure these directories are writable by your web server (chmod 777 or chown to the webserver — the permissions should be the same as wp-content/uploads)
make sure that the postie directory that this file is in is moved to yourwebsite/wp-content/plugins
Login to WordPress as an administrator
Goto the Plugins tab in the WordPress Admin Site
Activate “Postie”
Goto to the “Options” tab and click on the sub-tab “Configure Postie” to configure it.
(Postie ignores the settings under Options->Writing->Writing-by-Email)
Pay attention to the bold items
The wp-filez and wp-photos are folders which has to be created in the wordpress blog directory and not under the postie directory. The instruction given in Wordpress is ambiguous.
Step 4: Click on Configure Postie under Setting in Admin login at the bottom. Once you are in Postie, go right to the bottom to configure the Mail Setting. Avoid using gmail, yahoo mails. Use POP mails. You need a confidential email account which you would send your update to your blog via this email.
To make sure your configuration is correct, click on the test and run postie on top. If it is ok the brower will bring you to a blank page showing that mails are being read and downloaded.
Step 6: There are two ways to get the blog to download your email and post it into the blog. You can Cron job or you can use iframe.
I prefer using iframe. Essentially you need to insert this iframe script into the footer.php of the theme you are using. The footer.php
iframe src=”http://laughter.mhcasia.com/wp-content/plugins/postie/get_mail.php” name=”mailiframe” width=”0″ height=”0″ frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no” title=”">
Replace http://laughter.mhcasia.com with your Blog URL.
Step 7. Send a blog update to the dedicated confidential email account you have created. Hit F5 to refresh the browser and you can see your blog being updated.
Step 8. Format for Email Blogs
Subject is the Title of the Blog Article
If you want to categorize it prefix the subject with [Cat ABC][Cat CDE] Title of Blog Article
You can add as many of the pre-defined Category as you like.
If you want to add tags, add this at the bottom of the article in this format:
tags : abc, cde, fgh
tags must be in small Cap otherwise it wouldn’t work.
Image Handling
Postie allows you to attach images to your email and automatically post them to your blog.Large images are automatically thumbnailed and linked to the larger image.
You can publish images in the text of your message by using #img1# #img2# – each one will be replaced with the HTML for the image you attached
Captions – you can also add a caption like so: img1 caption=’foo’ img2 caption=’bar’
