Phew! I have had constant traffic on this site that the Alexa Rank has improved from 2,000,000+ to 800,00 [check the Alexa Badge on the right sidebar]. For the first time, I can now see progress on the Alexa Graph for my site. I have been getting constant traffic from my posts about Arnel Pineda, Pacquiao-Diaz bout, July 18 Earthquake Prediction, Michael Phelps, FHM Philippines Top 100, The Swimming Cat and Becoming a YouTube Star. More articles for everybody to read, more traffic for me, it’s that simple. I will try me very best to keep this site updated for everybody.
Now, back to work! xD
Building a new THEME [UPDATE]
I have finalized and submitted the wordpress theme I have created and I am just waiting for the confirmation if it was approved.
Your new theme, GreyMonger Theme, has been added to the directory and is pending a review. Once your theme has been reviewed and approved it will be available for download from the directory. You will receive an email notifying you when this happens.
As of now, I am just waiting for the confirmation mail that the theme is already available for the public. Before Wordpress will make it available to the public they will be taking it for a test drive and I will just get another email from them after that.
UPDATE:
I just received an email from Wordpress containing some of the fixes needed. Here are the 2 most important fixes needed:
- Shows post categories, but not post tags
- Doesn’t support Gravatars
Have to work again, I’ll be updating later. If you want to check out the theme, here’s the link to it: BUSBY SEO CHALLENGE
Building a new theme
I have been busy for the past 5 days as I am building a new Wordpress theme from scratch. It was supposed to be finished 2 days ago but a very unfortunate event happened, I overwritten my stylesheet.css without a backup. So I had to rebuild everything all over from scratch.
I will be posting the link once I finalize the design and test everything before uploading to wordpress. Hope everything will go smoothly as planned [and I hope I will not be able to overwrite my existing stylesheet.. LOL].
Stay tuned amigos!
Michael Phelps will receive 1 year supply of Pizza
After winning 8 Gold Medals in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, swimming machine Michael Phelps, and the rest of the U.S. men and women swim team, will receive free pizza and pasta for a year from Pizza Hut. That’s a lot of pizza and pasta for all of them but the investment for the sponsorship could very well payoff as Phelps has been a household name worldwide after winning 8 Golds in the Olympics. Aside from Pizza Hut, a lot of companies have contacted Phelps for a tie-up. Even before the Olympics, Phelps have been earning an annual income of $5 million from corporate endorsements from companies like AT&T, Visa, PowerBar, Omega and Speedo. Now that he has won 8 Gold Medals, breaking the 36-year old record set by Mark Spitz, many companies could now be far more interested in the swimming machine Michael Phelps. Speedo has already paid him a $1 million bonus for breaking Spitz’s record.
Swimmers don’t usually get that much attention and they are not even household names. Swimming is not something that you watch on primetime TV, you only get to watch this on sporting events such as the Olympics which only happens every 4 years. Phelp’s has change the way everybody looks at the game and he has raised the bar not just for swimmers but for every athletes.
Now there are even more rumors of Phelps and Spitz to appear in joint appearances and endorsement deals (and this is a biggie). For now, all that Michael Phelps has to do is to savor everything while it lasts. One thing is sure though, Michael Phelps is leaving Beijing as a sports icon. 
WebHosting Geeks
Was just doing my usual blog hopping and stumbling session when I found this site with reviews of some of the best hosting companies in the world. I work in a web hosting company so I had to check if the company was part of their top list (unfortunately it wasn’t) and to check some other competing companies. On top of their list for 2008 was Inmotion, and some familiar names on top like BlueHost and Hostmonster. They also have links to the Best Web Hosting Awards for 2007, and it could be very helpful in your quest in looking for a new web host. If you are looking for a web hosting company, better check this site out as they have some reviews of the best web hosting companies that could be part of your lists.
The Swimming Cat video banned from YouTube
If some of you remembered, I posted about my Swimming Cat video from YouTube. A video that produced half a million views and a lot of comments (usually hate comments). Just a week ago, I received an email from YouTube, and guess what the email contained, a notification that the video has been banned from the Tube. Here is a copy of the email.

LOVELY! A very innocent-looking video getting banned from the Tube. Congratulations to me. Now, I am left with no other video in my channel though I am planning to put up Anime music Videos or self-made music videos, but I have to do it in my free time though.
