A song dedicated by my wife to me…

Siti Nurhaliza was…and probably still is the most popular artist in Malaysia. Not just a cute/pretty artist but she sings well.

“Bukan Cinta Biasa” in English “Not Ordinary Love”

Change Thumbnail Quality in WordPress

I notice that Wordpress has really really poor thumbnail image quality when I upload my photos online. It really spoil a photo or even discourage people to view/click your photo.

To change the thumbnail image quality:

Edit File:
/wp-admin/includes/image.php

Change:
if (!imagejpeg( $thumbnail, $thumbpath ) ) {

To:
if (!imagejpeg( $thumbnail, $thumbpath, 90 ) ) {

90 is the image quality of your thumbnail. My personal experience is that 85-90 are of very good quality. Not encourage to use 100 as it will generate big file size with virtually very little different in image quality.

Here’s the thumbnail from original WordPress default setting (I used trial and error to check the compression setting of WP default, should be around 60-65%, which is definitely TOO POOR for photography work):

File size = 19.52 KB

Here’s after (80):

File size = 22.31 KB (more…)

Ten Ways of making a Blog Looks Terrible

By following the 10 steps below, 99% chances you will be success in making your blog looks terrible… Try it at your own risk…

1. Use default design
Be it at Blogsphere, Bloggers or Wordpress, use the default design given and don’t add any new things/widgets to it. Use the default colour and layout, so that everybody that use the same blogware will have the same look as yours. Users will come and forget about your blog in no time. This is the first successor move in hit and forget blog.

2. Blog name / Domain
Create a blogname/domain url with more than 10 characters and more than 4 vocal sounds.
Eg. http://www.blogextemehardremem.com

People will never be able to remember your domain name, even if they did, they will never spell it write (because you spell it wrong in the first place).

3. No photo, no picture
Use only TEXT in your blog. Make sure there is no picture and no text. A picture worth a thousand words? Nevermind, type one thousand words each time, don’t replace it with any picture. Show that you are a great typewriter.
