My Website Broke

I have no idea what’s wrong, aside from everything.

Maybe someone hacked me. :(

Mi’s Blogging History and Blogger Import Patch for Wordpress

And so I was trying to import my old posts from Blogger because I couldn’t justify that I’ve been blogging for a long time and that this site has been active for over a year.What’s the story behind it?

I started blogging in 2003. Even before that, Nagi forced me to join a ‘blag’ group which I don’t know whatever happened to it. I really got into blogging in 2003 because Sheila forced me into it. She even designed my layout. I didn’t become a hardcore blogger until a year later. I became one because I ranted a lot and didn’t really have anyone to talk to.

I acquired miii.net in 07 January 2006 (Noe’s birthday ^_______^ *giggle*) and I continued to use Blogger because I was still a blog n00b even if I had been blogging for almost three years already at that time. But last year, when I got a boyfriend, I kind of felt I wanted to start anew, a change, and so I got into Wordpress. I hadn’t migrated to the new blogger then so it was easy to import my old posts, but I deleted them because, like I said, I wanted to start over, a clean slate.

Months passed by and I continued to do my usual ordinary blogging, but because of Sarah I got hooked on monetizing my blog like writing about RC helicopters, and eventually, joining blogger communities. And well… I’d like to show off my blog age! but I don’t really want people delving into my past.

BUT WHO CARES!? It’s all in the past. No one would want to read the 688 posts I wrote more than 2 years ago, right? (I really hope so)

Well, here’s the hard part. Wordpress’ Blogger to Wordpress 2.2 Import script fails. And I found the way to fix this about 8 or 9 Google results later, I found a reply on a post about Wordpress needing a patch to fix this.

It said to change something on line 87 from www2.blogger.com to www.blogger.com

blogger.diff

What to do?

  1. Get your blogger.php inside import folder which is inside your wp-admin folder (inside your wordpress folder: /wordpressfolder/wp-admin/import/blogger.php) and open it using a text editor like notepad.
  2. Look for the lines that correspond to the image (or follow the links and copy it) and remove the 2 from www. Reupload, overwrite, and you’re ready to import your blogger posts to your Wordpress.

So, if this failing Blogger-to-Wordpress import is what’s keeping you from migrating to wordpress, here’s the fix for it!

Blog Ed 101: Blogging and Education

I attended the Bloggers Kapihan event at MonSay yesterday and I must say, it was very informative. It was called Bloggers Kapihan 2.0: Blog Ed 101. Before it started, I went to Cubao and met with Mama and I got myself a new wristwatch! And then I went to MonSay and climbed a mountain. With a not-yet-fully-healed sprain, it was really a high mountain to climb. I chatted with Mr. Lalon dela Rosa about the CEP, school stuff, future plans, what’s wrong with the Philippines and the Filipinos and a lot of other stuff. That was for about an HOUR (The event started late).  And then I asked questions… voiced my opinions… and stuff… The pancake donut thing of Mr Donuts is gewd!

I registered as “Mi” again. Maybe I should write Miii instead? Lalon asked me, “Why Mi?” maybe I should make up something prophetic… nanchatte :D (darnit! I still can’t figure out how to make wordpress accept japanese characters again T_T)

Oh. Ok. the forum.

The first speaker was Prof Danny Arao of UP Diliman and Bulatlat.com.

Crystal Skies Forum

I KEEP FORGETTING TO POST ABOUT THIS.

I wanted to start a forum before but I was worried that people wouldn’t post anyway. When Mimi  asked about starting a forum, I jumped on the chance.

So…

Presenting Crystal-Skies Forum. It is co-owned by Mi with Mis.

It’s a hodgepodge of topics… but it was made mainly because of Karaoke singing. However, we Karaoke singers aren’t only into singing. We’re also into anime, manga, drama, and other stuff….

Sooo…

JOIN! Bookmark it as well :D

Teacher Resources for Filipinos Plan

Plan? What plan?

A couple of people have already said they have my support, that I should continue this dream. Sadly, I have no definite plan as of yet.

aaahh… I’ll try now.

Contents:

  • Forum
  • Lesson Plans and Activities
  • Teacher Blogs (?)
  • Education News
    • Local
    • International
  • Resources, Links
  • WebQuests
  • Student Portal
    • Study Guides
    • Forum?

Shall I use the Wiki software?

And then… how am I going to divide it? By topic or subject area? I mean should I put each subject area below Lesson Plans and activities and so on, or should they fall under the subject areas?

Waaaahhh Ano’ng gagawin ko? Ni hindi ko pa nga bayad si bratyfly!!! Active pa kaya yung account ko sa pinoyhosting.net? May abandoned kasi akong webspace dun..pero… pero…. waaaahhh.. Nagpapanic na ko!

In short, what use are big dreams if you don’t have plans?
What use are plans if you don’t do them?

I HAVEN’T EVEN PICKED A DOMAIN NAME! AOMAI GAWSH!

PinoyTeacher.com
FilipinoTeacher.net
GurongPinoy.com

hmmm… WHAT!?

ok.

Shelfari

There’s a new social network site in town, but this time it’s about books! Shelfari let’s you showcase your personal library to the whole cyberworld, your favorites and your wishlists as well. You can post reviews and recommend books to read, form groups with group reading lists, and so on.

What’s interesting about it for me, is I realized that I DO have a lot of books, and have read quite a number of it as well. For a person who declared herself as someone who hates reading, I feel that it’s a lot.

Check it out! Add me as well. My username is miii.

Tagalog Lang!

I’ve been meaning to make an official post of this on my blog but I’ve been busy lately.

I chanced upon this site that teaches Tagalog, although it teaches more of Filipino, I believe. But since Tagalog is the more known “language,” I shall let it be. It is interesting enough that Matt and Yu remembered some of the phrases there. Matt’s pronunciation greatly improved as well. He probably spent the time we didn’t talk practicing those phrases. When we spoke to each other again after two days, he greeted me in Tagalog.

The website doesn’t just have audio of the phrase, but includes of video of the words. I think it would be better if they showed the mouth because Tagalog has its distinct sounds that changes with the shape of the mouth. This way, those who would like to learn could imitate that as well.

It has sections that teaches you how to curse and insult someone which was pretty cool. the makers of the website probably had that first thing on their list.

They’re still indexing and adding more stuff so it’s not complete, though I don’t think it will ever be complete. Maybe they should have a submission box or something where Filipinos could submit audio/video and other words to add to their media and dictionary–of course with proper screening.

That way, it could grow faster and have different perspectives.

I was looking for a way to contact them or comment on them, but I didn’t find any at the time of writing this. I hope they see this entry and read my suggestions :(
