Eid Mubarak, Salam Aidil Fitri, Salam Lebaran: This Raya has been mostly about driving here and there for my family and I. On the eve of Aidil Fitri, I drove to my office and then back to my house to pick up my wife and son and then we drove to Malacca to pick up my in-laws.

On the first day of Aidil Fitri, I drove to the mosque and then to Tesco, both in Shah Alam. On the second day, I drove to KL to pick up the MPV and then drove to Central Market looking for some buttons and then drove back to Shah Alam followed by a drive to Port Dickson for a picnic and then back to Shah Alam.

On the third day, I drove to KLIA LCCT to send my father in-law off to Pekan Baru and then drove to Kuala Lipis to spend some times with my mother and after that drive, my brother in-law took over the driving duty and I designated myself to be the navigator only. So he drove from Kuala Lipis back to Shah Alam and a few other places as well.

The final drive for me was yesterday, which was only a few hours ago, where we sent back the MPV to the owner who landed at LCCT from Jakarta and then drove back to Shah Alam, which we just arrived today. Where will I be driving to later today?

Kisahberuang.com updated to WordPress 2.6.2: Finally, the Fantastico De Luxe gave me the option to upgrade to 2.6.2 from 2.6.1. Even though this blog is not really affected by the security issues on 2.6.1, I just want it to be up to date. Some of you might ask why I didn’t go for the auto update plugin. I tried it and I just do not like it.

Contact Form replaced: Previously this blog was using the Secure and Accessible PHP Contact Form v.2.0WP contact form but I found it to be too messy and then when someone left a comment telling me that the contact form was not working, I replaced it with Easy Contact. I have successfully tested it.

Holiday Mood: I am still on leave from work until end of the week so if this blog is not updated regularly, then you know why. Anyone has to work today?

This is my first time running a blog on a self hosted WordPress platform and it has taken me a lot of time trying to figure out how to customize a standard theme into something that is more personalized to my own taste.

This is also my first time using a UNIX hosting but to my surprise cPanel is actually quite simple to use. Getting around the cPanel did not really take me long and in less than one hour I managed to install WordPress via the Fantastico De Luxe. Some of you, who are more technically inclined might be tempted to say: “What? Less than an hour? That’s way too long!”

By the way, I love the Fantastico smiling face logo.

So, the real difficult part is to get the selected theme to the way I want it to be. Bit by bit, I have managed to figure out how the codes work and you can see the results on this blog. Most of the things were discovered by trial and error while some others were found on the internet, published by those who had gone through the pain before me.

I am glad that I made the moved from Blogger to WordPress and now my limitation is only my skills on HTML, CSS and PHP. Other than that, my template will always, at least, look slightly different than yours…
