Ok, I am a copycat now. I have read postings at Ugly and Maoxian about addiing del.icio.us at sidebar. Pretty cool idea.

Blogging using Performancing for FireFox
Yup, I switched again. No, not trading, I mean blogging tools. After introduced by Trader Eyal, I have a look at Performancing for FireFox. Let’s try some Foxy style of blogging.
Well, first impression. Performancing is lighter and faster. It basically means it is faster to load the editor. I am not sure why did Windows Live take me so long to load.
But something is missing here…I can’t find smiley faces. ๐ Or maybe I just missed out some setting? Leave a comment to me if your know the trick. Please… ๐
Anyway, it is still a great tool to blog. It integrated Performancing metrics at the sidebar. So you can immediately view yoru visitors statistics.
Here is a snapshot of Performancing for Firefox. (I am still trying to figure how to configure in order to upload my image to my server…)

In short, impressive blogging tool. ๐
Blogging using Windows Live Writer
This is my first posting by using Microsoft Windows Live writer (Beta). So far so good. It is a cool tool for blogging.
I came across this tool from Trader Eyal
More on blogging later.
Change in link address
Thanks Jay from bannronn.com for notifying me about the inconsistency of my site URL. I have since made the change.There should not be any problem for reader to access my blog.
However, for those who are kind enough to add me into their blogroll , please do me a favour by changing my URL from https://tradergav.com to https://tradergav.com
There are a lot more for me to learn, not only in trading…blogging as well…
Slowness
If you are reading this entry, you might have encountered some slowness on my blog today. I was trying to figure what?s going on here. Anyway, I have checked out the reason with my hosting firm. In fact, they were working on some upgrading in order to improve the response time. Hey, I am pretty impressed by their prompt reply and customer service.
Now everything should have back to normal. It is interesting to have my own domain. Warn you, there are some works to do to maintain it.
About blogging
I have been a blogspot (clogspot? ) user for more than 1 year, and my recent switch to wordpress is something that I hope I have done it earlier. The user-friendly interface and the stability of the platform impressed me. Besides, the free plugins and the easy theme switching are another plus. For those who are new to blogging you may try out a free blog at wordpress.com, in case you are getting your own domain and hosting service, remember to install the latest wordpress 2.0.4 for a stable release. And it is all FREE.
WordPress is an Open Source project, which means there are hundreds of people all over the world working on it. (More than most commercial platforms.) It also means you are free to use it for anything from your cat?s home page to a Fortune 500 intranet site without paying anyone a license fee.
Blogging has become a trend, or some says a new generation culture. Try it out.
