Its been a while since I wrote a tutorial yea? Here’s something about spoiler tags and how to include them into your blog. This tutorial is for both Wordpress.org hosted blogs and free Blogger/Blogspot blogs.
Spoilers for WP
The Wordpress plugin that im currently using to hide my spoilers is wpSpoiler. This is especially useful when I want to write reviews on movies or books and I don’t want to reveal information that might spoil it for someone else.Click here to show spoiler
How do you add this plugin to your website? Just download it from the site (click the link above), make changes in the PHP file to change the language and wallah! All you have to do is put your info between tags like this [ spoiler ] This is a hidden text [ /spoiler ] and you’re all set.
Ahh the wonders of Wordpress. Thats so easy, I hear you say. But what about people who are using Blogger to host their website? Next up…
Spoilers for Blogger - Part 1 :Editing the Theme
This is for you folks who host your blogs on blogger and have blogspot.com in your blog URL. It requires a little more work and is a bit more complicated so listen up. (more…)
There are tons of hosting horror stories that I’ve heard from my friends.
First is from pakngah (pakngah.org) who hosting his blog on some Malaysian hosting company and they lost his database. Yea, all his previous posts and comments, all gone. Not once, but TWICE! I think that is the nightmare of every blogger. I can’t imagine how I would react if my blog disappeared.
Then I have this friend, Khai (justkhai.com) , who hosted his forum, blog hosting service and his own personal blog on a Malaysian hosting. He was sponsored by them. The bad thing is, their hosting is always experiencing downtime. And when their servers are down, all the employees disappear so the users are left hanging and wondering.
So what is a good web hosting company? Well firstly, find a company that is reliable. Google the company name and see if anyone has complained about it in forums, websites or in their blog. Then make sure that the company is established. Thirdly, look for a plan that suits your needs. Those are the basic three tips to looking for a good hosting company. You can google more articles such as “web hosting”, “creating a blog”, “what is html” and so on to gain more information before choosing the right web host. Good luck!
