let’s bring khmerbird to the new level

by khmerbird on January 22, 2010

I made an approach since June 2009 to the thesis theme. I heard everybody love it. I purchase a single license but since then I didn’t have time to try fully what Thesis can do.

I also do a survey should khmerbird switch to new theme? The result of the votes still insist me to keep the Mimbo with magazine style.

I used to visit dap-news.com and I would say I am a fan of this updated news around Cambodia and its cities.

But since they switched to the magazine style. I was lost and difficult to read the new contents.

I heard a few friends of mine also don’t like the new theme. It’s for the same reason: difficult to read and know what’s new what’s old. It’s because they are familiar with the classic theme: first in first out.

khmerbird.com launched mobile version

by khmerbird on October 2, 2009

Mobile Application from apple.com

i just launched the mobile version for khmerbird.com,

exciting and easy to setup,

if you got internet access in your mobile phone, you simply go to your mobile browser, type the same url which is http://khmerbird.com,

the mobile version will be detected automatically and it will display a nice and suitable version for your your mobile phone.

it’s a cool and great plugin, if you are using wordpress and you want to have also a mobile version, try this wonderful WordPress Mobile Edition

that’s the one i am using right now on this blog, if you got an iphone it’s time to check how my blog look like in your iphone, let me know if any remark,

khmerbird mobile edition

normally you would see only a short and minimize version, and when you click on any link, the content also will be adapted to your mobile screen size, excepted the photo size that i am trying to work out if it could have also a minimize size adapt to the mobile screen.

i hope this feature will allow you to follow more easily what happen in Cambodia, get the last update news and events via khmerbird.com.

for your information, if you not yet heard about it, you can view everyday.com.kh and dap-news on your iphone, this application was developed by a young Khmer in US. i made friend with him through twitter and facebook.

he has developed as far as i know two applications for iphone: Everyday and Dap-News for OS 3.0 and iphone Khmer keyboard

check out his site iphonekhmer.com and try on your iphone, hope you would love these two features that developed by Khmer for Khmer people.

some good news will be coming soon regarding Free Blog for Khmer blogger, so far G Design Group have been invited to take care of theme, email newsletter and country restriction for sign up.

we still working on the script for ip country restriction, hopefully the technical issue will be resolved soon.

hope Cambodia will recover from Ketsana storm soon too, i know there’s a lot of damages due from the heavy rain that still continues in some provinces, hope government will do their best to help the victims , especially for those that lost home or rice field etc.

wait to see some donation campaigns for the victims very soon,

good weekend to everybody.

should khmerbird switch to new theme

by khmerbird on September 21, 2009

thesis how do you find about the current layout of my blog khmerbird.com?

is it difficult to read or to find what you want to read? are you losing while arriving here? do we need to do something with the layout, for example, changing to the simple classic blog form?

or you don’t even understand what i am talking about ? LOL let’s me explain then,

the current layout if a magazine style, which got a lead content on the top, then classified into the categories: Lifestyle, Entertainment and Literature. each category got also a short summary of latest post and 3 others lists of the old posts.

i got few feedback from my closed readers that they would prefer first in first out, or full text/summary of the posts one after one. they don’t really like the magazine style. it make them lost and they don’t know where to click to read what they want to read.

if i understand they would prefer something like Thesis theme

are you feeling the same way?

to get exactly the answer, i might need your feedback on how you prefer me to arrange contents on my blog.

your help would be appreciate, please select which form you prefer and i will make sure when i change the layout, could improve the reading process for my blog.

thank for your time,

Project Free Blogs for Cambodian

by khmerbird on August 11, 2009

followed my last post about 3 things to do before you start a blog khmerbird will provide free blogs to the Cambodian people who live in Cambodia.

Purpose

i first start using internet many years ago just to flirt girls and looking for dirty photos LOL it’s true for everybody i guess

now internet to me is a way we can share information and make benefit from it. main purpose is to give facility to those that want to express their ideas and write things about Cambodia.

the registration is only limited to people who resident in Cambodia, and combine all those voice together to one place.

second one is to generate some revenue from blogging. my blog got 3 revenue, for example for the month of July, i got 19.88 USD from Text Link Ads, 19.30 USD from Linkworth and 66.74 USD from Adsense

so total i have earned 105.92 for the whole month of July.

here are the prove of the revenues:

adsense

text link ads

linkworth

it’s not a salary or it will not stable like this it can go up or down, i hope it will go up for sure.

How

it’s easy, i know how the system works for Cambodia people, register to get a blog, write whatever you want to write about but no pornography is allowed, the main purpose is to provide contents about Cambodia will help to promote our country and make theme know that Cambodian also got blogs and can earn some money from blogging.

i am in the process to setup the system, so that you can focus only on the information you want to share, the rest is on Khmerbird.

the system works for me, and it can work for you as well.

Why

why i am doing this? will i share the revenue with you? no, you will earn 100% of what you earn from the affiliate. i just put a link back to my blog so that it will help my blog to get more traffic and i can earn more. i don’t play any tricks with you guys and i also want to see other Cambodian people got their own blogs and make money from blogging.

When

i will take sometime to test the system, so that once you register you got everything you need to start a blog. let’s say the tentative launch day is the 1st of next month or it can be delayed of any technical issue but normally i think we will launch it on time.

hope you will be happy to start and blog, sharing information to your friends and to the whole world with an easy tools and at the end of the day you can earn something from your blogs.

if you need any more information, please drop the comments.

Cheers,
KB

how to create a sucessful blog and make money

by khmerbird on June 22, 2009

i originally posted this at khmerblogger.net, the reason i combine everything here because i don’t have much time to maintain the 3 blogs. if you visited khmerblogger.net and read already this post, you can skip it. i will continue writing about create a blog in the next few day.

for those that not yet read, i think this is something you should know about before you create a blog.

What is a Blog?

as i mentioned in my previous interview with Tharum for Global Voices Online,

a blog, when comparing to the old day, is a diary. So when something comes to your mind, you blog about it. What I like most about blog is that we share information: news, events, party or anything else with our friends as well as other bloggers.

if you don’t really know what a blog is, there’s a lot of free way to create a blog and it’s free, you don’t have to pay anything, just spend 5 minutes to register an account and you can have you own blog right away.

for the beginner, a lot of people go to Wordpress.com or Blogger.com

there’s nothing to worry about, follow the instructions, you will see how easy it is to get a blog.

Want to become a professional blogger?

after playing a while and if one day you want to do serious thing with your blog, there’s a good way to do it and later you will can start to earn some money from your blog.

1. pick up your own domain and hosting server,

it’s good to have an account on wordpress.com, but you will not be able to change any code or insert any ads on your blog, unless you have to pay some money to upgrade from the basic account but i don’t think ads can be accepted yet… you might just be able to change some css i believe.

you can put google adsense or other ads on your blogger account, but for two reasons that i would recommend you to get your own domain and self hosting server.

first, your account on blogger is not completely belong to you, it’s belong to google and there’s some terms and conditions of using that you have to respect and not to make any violations. get your own domain and self hosting, the blog is totally belong to you.

secondly, search engine prefer wordpress platform because it’s very optimized for the search engine. i have a lot of example on my blog http://khmerbird.com that with the same keyword, my blog has a very good position in the search result than other website that not using wordpress platform, a lot of webmaster today migrate their website to the wordpress platform.

2. choose your blog platform

as i mentioned above wordpress is the best blog platform on the planet, if you want to know more details, you can go to becomeablogger.com

get your own domain, buy a hosting server and install the wordpress platform, in a couple of minutes you will have your own website.

i will look around and find out more about how to register a domain and i would recommend you some local Cambodia company that provide that service in my next post.

i would recommend for the beginner to visit the website becomeablogger.com, that you can find everything you need to start a new blog.

i will write in my next post about which topic you should write about, and what kind of keyword you need for your blog etc…

let’s get your own blog now !

i am thinking to switch khmerbird to Thesis

by khmerbird on June 6, 2009

khmerbird i am very happy with Mimbo, i love the theme and recently i manage to add some more feature such as: update news from Cambodia, interesting link and events in town,

i sincerely hope you enjoy to come here and always find something interesting.

the reason i want to pass to thesis due to the theme allow us the modify the layout and insert the code directly from the control panel,

to my previous experience i need to spend time to find in the php file to locate the position i want to insert new box or new feature,

with Thesis, i just simply go to admin control panel and insert the code where i want to add … and that’s it.the more interesting thing is that we can control all the fonts of our website by just one click.

the other idea is to combine everything in one place,

i don’t have time to manage two or three sites,
i hope Thesis will allow me to reunite all my contents into one place.

thank again for visiting khmerbird.com

nofollow have been removed

by khmerbird on December 25, 2008

i upgraded to wordpress 2.7 recently and i didn’t realize about the feature no follow in the comment line, but when i click on the link to the comment author, i got a blank page. i started to realize something have been added to the author url.

it’s the nofollow feature to discourage the spam comments, if you don’t know what it is, you can find out the declaration at wordpress.org

i was finding out how to remove this feature because i actually want to go to the author comment website as well, but of course if it’s a spam, the comment will be deleted as soon as i detected but mostly the spam comments (i received a couple of 10 everyday) they rarely pass the Akismet.

if it happen to you that you want to remove nofollow from your blog, you can find plugin out there but it seems didn’t well quite well, i have tried some of them and i don’t know why it didn’t work for me.

i found an nice article here to explain clearly on how to remove nofollow from your blog, just do a backup file before u change the code because it’s very sensitive, you blog might be down in 1 second. be careful!

Read the instruction how to remove nofollow
