Have you seen this funny Matrix style fight scene between a cow and a man before? It’s one of the funniest videos I have seen. Enjoy!
Let me know if you know from which movie this scene was taken from.

A friend if mine send me a few pictures of what people eat at Beijing during night and I almost vomited seeing them. Now it’s your turn 
Do you prefer to moderate comments on your blog but tired of getting your inbox flooded with moderation notices? How-To Geek has developed a WordPress Comment Moderation Notifier software which sits in your system tray and alerts you whenever there is a comment for moderation. It accesses the WordPress XML-RPC API by means of a small WordPress plugin.
Using the software, you will be able to quickly launch your comment moderation page via the menu you get when you right-click the icon in your system tray. When there are new comments you will get a little message pop up and clicking on it will take you to the moderation page. The software also lets you control on how often it should check for new comments.
It’s been a while since I posted here…so I thought of starting by listing the WordPress Plugins I currently use, now that I am back. Below are the WordPress Plugins I currently have activated:
- Adsense-Deluxe: Place Google AdSense ads in your WordPress Posts
- Akismet: Prevents Spam
- Chunk Urls for WordPress: shortens urls in comments so that they won’t break your site
- Feedburner Feed Replacement: Forwards all feed traffic to Feedburner while letting through some important User-Agents
- Full Text Feed: Prevents WordPress 2.1+ from adding a more link to your website’s feed
An about me page is one of the most important pages of a blog because readers need to know about the person who’s blog they are reading and what the blog is about. I have seen many blogs that do not have an about me page and some that use the default about page on a WordPress blog.
How to write an About me page
A good about me page describes about the author of the blog with at least one photo, his experience on the topic he is writing, what the blog is about, how visitors can contact the author and offers links to the RSS Feed encouraging the visitors to subscribe.
You may also link to your advertise page and other important pages and posts of your blog that you want your readers to visit. Also make sure that you link your About page on your blog’s main menu or in the sidebar where it can be found easily.
Check out this blog’s about me page for an example on how to write an about me page for your blog. A good about me page can help you convert your blog’s casual surfers to regular readers.

Bloggers writing on different topics are joining Blogg-Buzz every day. As Blogg-Buzz grows, it will be the place where bloggers will look to find quality posts around the blogosphere and other bloggers from around the world.
Along with finding interesting bloggers and blog posts on topics you like, what about making money too? I think most bloggers especially those who have monetized their blogs have an AdSense account. So what about making money with Blogg-Buzz through AdSense?

After reading the experiment done by Jane to test the theory that having less AdSense ads on your site gets you more money, I decided it to give it a try.
I removed the link units from this blog leaving just the 336×280 ad unit below the post title and within a few days my AdSense earnings almost doubled!
I thought my earnings would return back to the usual earnings the next day but it has continued to increase so far. If this increase in my earnings continues, it could be true that having less AdSense ads on your site gets you more money.
A regular reader of this blog, Shivaranjan, asked me earlier today on how to optimize images to speed up his site. I decided to write a post on it as I feel there are many people who do not know on how to reduce their image size and as a result slow down their site.
Images are one of the reasons behind a slow loading site and hence is necessary to optimize them before you place them on your site or blog. Photoshop includes a feature called ‘Save for Web’ which you can use to reduce the image size.
If you do not have Photoshop, you can use other image editing softwares that have a similar feature to the ’save for web’ that Photoshop provides or you can also use an online image optimizer.
