Tweaks

EXPRESSions on Air
I am desperate!  So I'm turning my  blog tweaking skills into cash!  You name the price!  Yep, seriously.  Seriously?  I just said seriously.  Piso!  Nah, c'mon man!  Seriously, a blog tweak for one peso?

I can't code a blog layout from the ground up but I could pick a layout for you and tweak it here and there.  You know those pesky lines of codes you dreadfully hate, I can manage.  Why?  Because I care!  I care about your Blogger blog looking ambushed by ads and buttons and links and banners and all that stuff that makes me and other readers want to leave your blog right away!

EXPRESSions on Air Sample Blog
You see I'm particular about a lot of things like:  typography, width, header, logo and the like.  I don't like pop-ups, screaming ads, deceiving ads and photos that are not aligned well in a post, like they were just plastered there for no reason whatsoever!

Since I have this handful of skill and I have these handful of items that I need want:  speakers, Crocs, G-shock and a printer I might as well convert this skill into hard, cold cash!  Hey, at least I'm being honest here.  For how much?  Well, I'll let you decided that.  In other words, whatever you can afford.  Let's talk!

To the left you see the current blog of Airphil Express and below is a sample blog tweak.  Here are some of the tweaks.

Theme

It's obvious that I totally changed the theme.  There's a lot of theme resources for Blogger blogs.  Blogger Templates, Dzignine, Lite Themes and Best Theme to name a few.  Choosing a theme is important and crucial.

Gadgets

I also added a bunch of new gadgets compared to the current blog.  Recently on Twitter, a Facebook fan page the recent comments section.

Lightbox

I love using lightbox on images.  It allows you to view and zoom the image without leaving the page.  Try clicking on the image and you'll see what I mean.

DISQUS

I'm not a fan of the current blogger comment system.  So I installed a sample DISQUS comment system.  You can reply directly from a comment and you can also tweet or share your comments on Twitter or Facebook.

Header

I love typography and I love making typographic headers.  I'm using Bello for the header for the sample blog.

Social

Last but not certainly least, social bookmarking and sharing.  For this sample blog I only included share on Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus One.

So these are the basic rundown of the sample tweaks I made.  I can guide you and give you choices on plugins, themes and whatnot.  You can make me rich happy!

    Thanks a bunch! I wish I did, but nah.  Say, are you open for some freelance work?  I tried doing it on my own but failed (new post).  Thanks for dropping by though.  Love your works!

Symbolism

Philippine Flag Symbolism Let's be honest now.  How many of you did not know behind the symbols of our national flag?  Just so you know, it is a fact that everybody lies.  Anyway, probably you are wondering why I am posting in such a nationalistic tone when independence day was almost three months behind?  Well, that makes us both.  A thought just struck me when I saw the commercial segment of Juan Time in discovery channel.

Parley

I'm pretty sure you've read James Soriano's infamous article " Language, Learning, Identity, Privilege " which garnered him mostly criticism from people who live in front of their keyboards netizens.  I know some of you are probably making or joining hate pages on Facebook, seriously, grow up. I have edited this post for the nth time because there are still thoughts and ideas that need to sink in.  Also, I made a decision not to post or react when I am angry or pissed.  Sure, I was pissed when I first read the article.  Who wouldn't be?  But I just officially turned 28 and I need to act, you know - civilized.  You've got filter the facts and try to address the issue on how personally you can change for the better as a person.  I only found two response articles via Twitter:  " Editing James Soriano " and " Coming Home to the Filipino Language ".  If you have any article or known any worth-reading article you can message me here or

SOPA

Stop SOPA I t is not a long, upholstered couch with a back and two arms or raised ends that sits within the walls of your comfortable living room.  I believe it is a sofa?  This one is SOPA - Stop Online Piracy Act.  I would want to link the article in Wikipedia but the site will be having a blackout in protest to this censorship.  So what is it?  For sure it's not as comfortable as your sofa in your living room.  Here's the gist:  there is a bill in the U.S. Senate that if passed would cripple our freedom to publish right here in the web.  Still don't get it?   Fight for the Future does it better with this video right after the jump.
