Cerita Kongkek di KLCC

Posted by on September 8, 2008  |  7 Comments

As you know (or perhaps you don’t know because you didn’t read my previous posts), I’m taking this PHP and MySQL course in KLCC. Yea I know some of you are like “What? PHP? You can learn that yourself la” but hey, its free (sponsored by MDeC and Petronas eLearning) and they’ll even pay for the Zend Cert (which costs something like 120USD). Its everyday from Monday-Friday, 8am to 4pm.

Anyway, for my other non-technical friends, PHP is (this is my simple explaination) a programming language used for the web. Basically any site that has a database (eg, some form of login) uses PHP. Its like giving instructions.

So there i was, sleepy in the morning (people who are close to me know that I’m not a morning person) and the guy was teaching about it.

“Kongkek this one,” he said and my eyes instantly became bigger. I was thinking, What?!?! then he mentioned it again and again and again. I looked around me and no one seem to have noticed anything odd.

Then I glanced over and saw that the gal next to me was writing her notes and typed it as CONCATE. And I was like “Oooooooo.” When you want to give two instructions together, you hv to concate it, meaning combine it together.

Can’t blame me for mis-hearing it right? :P

Tips to make your blog appear in Google Search

Posted by on April 10, 2008  |  4 Comments

Someone in the forum was asking how to make their blog posts appear when someone searches about their posting in google. I gave some short tips on how to play around with keywords.

One example is to write the URL of your post properly and precisely using keywords that people will search for. Secondly is making sure that you have lots of the same keywords repeating in your post. Thirdly is to tag your posts with Technorati tags to define what is talked about in your content.

Oh, one more thing which I didn’t mention was using the ALT=”" tag in images. ALT stands for alternate text and this is the text that pops up when you mouse over an image. Its also used for text to speech programs which really aids people with sight problems to ‘browse’ your site.

Besides making our blog posts appear in Google searches, we also want to promote our blog/website URL to as many places as possible. Put your URL in your business cards, email signature or even your forum signature. Adding a headline animator is even better.

Or submit your website URL to online web directories like dirmania web directory under the right categories so people can easily search for your site.

Hope these tips helped you!
