Blogging is sweet when other bloggers acknowledge us. Blogging is sweet when we received some awards. Blogging is sweet when we have tags assigned to us. So, for those sweet bloggers who made this blog sweeter than ever, I am now answering tags and accepting the awards that you have given.

Cautions! Long post ahead!

A Special Post

Terima Kasih Untuk Kisah Beruang: This is a thank you post from KongsiBlog.com. A blog that goes around with a “Aku Bukan Seorang Artis Malaysia” (I am not a Malaysian artist) tagline. A very catchy tagline indeed.

Anyway., that’s his way of saying thank you for my visits and my help (I honestly could not remember how have I helped him). So, for that sweet effort, I am mentioning his post here as an honor that was well given and received. Thank you!

Award # 1

The Friendship Flower Award: This award is given by Windmill On The Hill. It comes with:

And lovely are the blossoms
That are tended with great care,
By those who work unselfishly
To make the place more fair.
And, like the garden blossoms,
Friendship’s flower grows more sweet
When watched and tended carefully
By those we know and meet.
And, if the seed of friendship
Is planted deep and true
And watched with understanding,
Friendship’s flower will bloom for you.

Note:

To others who frequent this blog but did not receive any of the award above, do not feel bad as it would be impossible for me to choose all of you and it would be impossible for me to select according to any criteria. Random selection is the best and those are the blogs that came up during the selection. That’s why I hate to give award…

Anyway, in other words, all of you are special as well!

People who arrived at this page were looking for:

It is good to be back after a few days away due to the celebration of Aidil Adha recently. I have been receiving a few queries on how to put the link to my RSS feed using the widget at the bottom right of this blog page and therefore, I might as well share it with all of you who wants to have that as well.

Before I go on, please take note that I am not a programmer and therefore, my explanation would not go beyond my limited technical knowledge. Furthermore, I found this piece of code while hopping around from one blog to another and I could not remember where I learned this but this method was mentioned in a few blogs out there. So, blog hopping is not really a waste of time after all…

This method is the simplest that I have found so far. The other method that I learned was more complex and required that you have access to your hosting server. So, for the benefit of those who are not self hosted, I have decided to teach you this simple coding and it is what I am using too.

CAUTIONS: I am not responsible for any damage to your blog so do this after you have backed up your code and at your own risk!

Below is the code that you need to copy to your HTML file.

<div style="display:scroll;position:fixed;bottom:5px;right:5px;">
<a href="http://your own URL here" title="your own title here">
<img style=border="0" src="the location of your image file here" alt="your own text here"></a></div>

You need to copy this code right after the <body> tag if you want to load it first or before the </body> tag if you want to load it last, in your HTML file. If you do not know how to do that, I suggest that you go and read a bit about your theme file / HTML file as without that basic, I do not recommend that you touch it.

After you have copied the code above, replace the part as indicated in the code above with your own URL as well as your own image location. The texts are optional but it would be nice of you to add them in.

You can experiment with the location of the image by changing the value starting from the "display and before the closing ".

You may need to press F5 if nothing happened after you have updated your HTML file and if still nothing happenen after that, you must have done something wrong. This should work on any self hosted wordpress blog as well as any Blogger blog. I have no knowledge about any other blog platform out there.

Another thing to note is, if you have copied the code above to your Notepad, just pay attention to the ” sign as Notepad tends to change it and it would not work if you just copy from it directly. Just retype all the ” and you will be okay.

That’s all for now and enjoy your new skill.

Notice that this time the title does not say Top 10 but only Top EC and that is because starting this month,  I would be displaying top 25 Entrecard droppers on this blog. However, only the top 10 would get their banner displayed while the rest would only get a text link to their blogs.

There you go! The top 10 droppers. Random Ramblings, Bioteck, Lainy’s Musing, Joan Joyce, Kuerdas, The Fitness Diva, Windmill on the hill, The Natural State Hawg maintained their presence at the top spot. Last month, two new blogs made it to the Top 10 and they are Online Social Networking and Steven Humor.

The rest of the blogs that made it to the 11^th to 25^th positions are:

Sports 2000, Life is Simple, Crotchety Old Man, Nazham.com, Ask Ms Recipe, My Review, My Notes, Toltec Insights with Dr. Susan Gregg, Money Saving Pro, Work at Home, Spicybugz World, Look Around, Reenashwina, Time Recursion and Angels on Your Shoulder.

Thanks to all who have been actively coming over to Kisahberuang.com and thanks to those who do not make it to this month top 25 list as well and hope that you would be in my December 2008 list.
