HIDUP SEORANG BLOGGER or Life as a blogger is a contest hosted by Denaihati and sponsored by eQurban.com.
Here’s my story as a blogger:
When I first started blogging, it was on rememory.com early 2002 (or was it late 2001? I kinda forgot but it was circa those two years). That time it was just known as online journal. I had more than
50 entries. One of it has won me a USD100 amazon.com voucher. I was estatic! I spent the voucher on Encarta Encylopaedia, an Einstein book for my hubby who was my boyfriend back then, a few good novels including Home is Where the Heart Is by Billie Letts; my favourite of all time.
I made news friends from Malaysia not to mention a buddy also on rememory.com, Khemy, as well as friends across the universe. But I was not really satisfied with it as I cannot adjust the look of my page. And so I abandoned the journal. I visited the site once in a while but came to know that it was closed down back in 2008. If it is still there, I certainly will give my link and let you read all the nonsense that I wrote. Lol.
It was in middle 2005 when I registered for Friendster. I had few posts as well and my only friends were Marzie my colleague (yes, Marzie is my longtime blogging buddy) and Helmy. Comments only came from them, not leaving behind Daliza, another colleague of mine, also Helmy’s wife.
Being a person who likes to change things and have it my way, I was not satisfied with my Friendster’s look. I could not do what I want to do and so I registered for Blogspot late 2006. I was so happy because I finally found a platform where I can change the look to suit my liking. It stayed on for a year before I decided to change to WordPress. And so I got myself my own domain and hosting and transferred all posts from Blogspot to WordPress. I lost over 1000 comments as I did not know how to transfer them. Boy! It was sure tough to learn WordPress but over time, I managed to get acquainted with the platform. A basic webmaster course sponsored by the company I was working with back in 2003 really did helped me in understanding html, javascript and php better.
Well, here I am today, still using WordPress. Have been using it for three years now and don’t think I will jump to another platform in the near future. Buy hey, who knows, I might change to Joomla tomorrow. Haha, kidding!
Being a blogger is not always easy. I mean as a freelancer like me, I depend a lot on blogging. I have so many stories to share but as for now, it is sufficient to tell you how I started blogging, when I started and what platform did I used.
I am certainly not a pioneer but my blogging life started some eight years ago. I will share more aspects on my Life as a Blogger or HIDUP SEORANG BLOGGER on my second post on 29th August. Stay tune.
