Fotocommunity.com emailed me last two days ago, telling me that my photo Beauty Queen and the rest of my last three upload were going to be featured on their website frontpage. They gave me exact time when they will be posting it so I wait. It’s Friday here in Manila, 1311H as I woke up (from an accidentally sleep..), I checked Fotocommunity website, and look what they have :

For the last few weeks, I have been installing WordPress (self-hosted) for so many times. I received some script errors and sometimes I can’t get through inside my administration panel. What’s the cause? Maybe, due to installing lots of plugins without knowing if all of them will work or compatible with the theme that I am using.

Anyway, that’s ain’t my purpose in writing this post. I just like to share my own ways/steps in installing WordPress (self-hosted) in order to have a clean and organize installation of your WordPress.

Yesterday, during our Web Interface class at CSB-SDA (College of St. Benilde-School of Design & Arts) I was downloading a file from my Yahoo! Email when an email message from Fotocommunity caught up my attention with a subject entitled Your Photo Beauty Queen on the start page!. I immediately opened it, and was bit surprised on the message, it reads..

As of October 28, 2008 - 1540H local time, I opened Google Chrome to view the output of changes I made on my website (because I was updating some of its content) and I was stunned when I saw the results. It was kind of computer special characters or ascii code or something like when you open an application (.exe) program using Notepad. So I refreshed my browser about three times and it still showing the same result and I don’t have any idea what’s going on. I have tried viewing my website using Firefox and IE but everything’s are normal. I continue refreshing the page on Google Chrome but nothing happens. I tried other website address like Yahoo! and Too Much Few but they seems to be normal. I was wondering if I did something wrong with my website’s code but the only last thing I did, I removed “Pages” sidebar because I don’t like the output. Duh! Is it a big deal? or is it Google Chrome’s mystery bug?
