I have did some Search engine optimization (SEO) for this site.

After this phrase is done, I am going to rename /blogs/ to /blog/ because technically, there is only 1 blog and not many blogs.

I have finally took some time off to redirect http://www.lesterchan.net to https://lesterchan.net and update my links to reflect this change.

As for my links in my WordPress plugins, I will update it when I release updates for all of them after WordPress 2.3 is released (sometime in September 2007).

FeedBurner
I finally took some time to update my site’s feed to use FeedBurner feed.

So now I can see how many people are subscribe to my blog’s feed. =D

I have changed the width of this site from 600px to 800px.

Back in 2003 when I designed this layout, 800×600 is still quite the normal resolution for most computers so in order to make this site layout compatible with 800px in width, I chose 600px as the width.

Just to follow the trend, I have installed Mediawiki into http://wiki.lesterchan.net/. For those who do not know what Mediawiki is, it is the exact same software that powers Wikipedia.

I intend to post some of my stuff there which requires modification often. The only valuable page that so far is my to-do list of my WordPress Plugins.

This site will be turning 5 on 24th March 2007, which falls on my birthday too. For the past 4 years+, I have been running this site using my allowance and sometimes my mom will pay for the hosting. Many readers asked me why not put ads on my site as I have pretty good site traffic.

I will never put ads on any of my personal site, now or in the future. This is like my hobby and I do not want to earn anything from my hobby. And the main reason for it is, I simply hate site with ads.

If you are able to see this announcement, it means that the site has successfully move to the new host (Dreamhost to be exact). I signed a 2 year contract with them for (US$100.80), hopefully they do not let me down.

This site is definitely slower for me in terms of load time as the host no longer reside in Singapore (where I live), but it maybe faster for some of you guys also.

I am trying to get the site to be XHTML Transitional validated by W3. So far so good, the blog main page and the comments page passed the validation. More to come soon.

Thanks to Ahmed Karam for reporting that my PayPal Donation Link is outdated. I have fixed it and added a Donation Page to Others.

If you are feeling generous today, maybe you can drop me a couple of bucks today. LOL =D
