Why My Plans to Move to Wordpress May Be Gone for Good

I wanted to create a WordPress site for my business and economics blog. I did think that WordPress might be good. However, I decided to finally delete it. Hopefully, I'll find a better blogging platform. For now, I think the big problems I've had with WordPress are as follows:

  1. Really hard to customize themes. Sure, there are a lot of cool-looking themes but newer themes don't even have a default search box. I want people to easily find what I have written!
  2. The WordPress editor is getting laggy. I really feel that WordPress may be doing a disservice more than a service for those who just want to blog in their free time.
  3. It's very difficult to apply labels across multiple posts, unlike Blogger. 
Then, I think this gives me a good reason as spelled out by Spell Out Marketing:
5. No Limitation On the Number of Visitors 
Even the expensive hosting plans come with space and bandwidth limitations. Those “unlimited” are never really unlimited.

When the number of your daily blog visitors crosses a threshold level, you will have to then upgrade to premium plans. If not, a high load on the server will result in downtime.

In a way, your success is also a curse, bringing more expense.

This isn’t the case with Blogger though. You can have thousands of thousands of daily visitors on your blog without experiencing any downtime. All this for FREE!

Pretty much, I just feel like WordPress hasn't been really ideal for me. Then again I'm some sort of wanting to save as much money as possible. I can still participate as a writer in somebody else's WordPress blog. However, using WordPress as default? Hmmm... I think I'm over with it!

Is Your Favorite Source of Information "Trust Me Bro"?

It's something to think about Facebook comments section , right? I can't decide if I should allow unmoderated comments. The world of comments can be so annoying these days.   It's one thing if one comments for constructive criticism . However, one could really think about how many comments (even under Anonymous or troll accounts) are just there to derail. News about the Philippines' getting newer reforms such as more foreign direct investments (FDIs) have a lot of stupid comments too. I'm not surprised with comments such as, "It's Duterte's gift to China!" or "Allowing foreign telecommunication companies will risk our security!" When I ask for the sources on Facebook, I tend to get the argument that's as foolish as, "Trust me bro!" A lack of intelligence is one thing. It's another thing to ignore common sense. This meme makes me laugh at the pyramid of learning. Okay, I have a high school diploma during K+10. I soon had ...

Today in History: Revisiting the Late Martin Ocampo's Demise

  An injustice for one is an injustice for the whole community . What people never thought that in their demand for blood--the wrong people were caught! It turns out that Francisco Juan "Paco" G. Larrañaga was in Quezon City when the Chiong sisters went missing (read here ). On October 7, 1999, the trial judge who had doubts about the body found in the ravine was found dead in Waterfront, Lapu-Lapu. The incident happened while I was still in my  second year of high school . There was not much access to the Internet back then nor was it viewed as a necessity, unlike today! Back then, I felt Ocampo was murdered. There was allegedly some hair sample that was his--probably his mistress. However, forensics expert Dr. Raquel Fortun has concluded it was suicide . Dr. Fortun also showed up in the documentary Give Up Tomorrow which highlights two things--a crime that remains unsolved and how Paco was wrongfully arrested. Paco admitted on Dong Puno Live that he and Josman Aznar have a ...

My Experience with a Cataract and Laser Eye Surgery

What really scared me was when my left eye got blurred. At first, I was hoping it was just a dry eye. I had my check-up done. My worst fears were confirmed by my cloudy vision. I had a cataract but at age 37? It was pretty young. It was a developmental cataract or a developmental defect . I was told that there was no other choice but to have surgery. I was pretty scared. I decided it was time to really view cataract surgery and discover the amazing use of laser cataract surgery. It's a good thing I dismissed the bogus claims of cataract-dissolving drops.  Above is a sample video of what was shown in the hospital. I was nervous at first about what could happen. Having been told by the doctor (and will not disclose further details out of respect for the doctor's privacy) that it'll take faster than the manual surgery was a relief. I was willing to spend more on laser surgery rather than have the bladed procedure. I could say I was scared of the bladed procedure. I heard that ...
