EasyBlog (demo with 3rd party template)

This is a test blog

Last year we introduced timeline, a new kind of profile that lets you highlight the photos, posts and life events that help you tell your story. Over the next few weeks, everyone will get timeline. When you get timeline, you'll have 7 days to preview what's there now. This gives you a chance to add or hide whatever you want before anyone else sees it.

You can learn more about these new features by taking the quick tour available at the top of your timeline. If you want to get timeline now, go to the Introducing Timeline page and click "Get Timeline." Or you can wait until you see an announcement at the top of your home page.

Orginially published on Thursday, December 15th, 2011: We recently announced our plans to introduce Facebook Timeline, an entirely new kind of profile.

Timeline gives you an easy way to rediscover the things you shared, and collect your most important moments. It also lets you share new experiences, like the music you listen to or the miles you run.

Starting today, timeline is now available everywhere. Here are some tips to help you get started.

I stumbled upon a blog by a car fan in Asian about him recommend to spend time ogling at cars in New York City. I find it quite queer for a man living in Asia knowing quite a bit about what to do in foreign countries for car freaks. 

I bet watching and identifying cars make his day (psst, I know how it feels) and it is quite interesting that his recommendations quite worth my time checking out as these cars in the Big Apple are rather ugly and rare.

Check out his blog at Essential Motoring 101.

If you are thinking of stepping into the world of Joomla, you're in a for a ride of your life!

But before you get all excited about that new website you want to start on exotic pets, how about examining the criterias that you need to fulfill before actually building the site.

Here are some of the stuff you need to take note of:

For Joomla 1.6.x or 1.7.x:

Ok, I must admit that this post is not suited for the Singaporean auto industry but it sure is a great resource for you before parting your hard earned money for that Volkswagen.

Do keep in mind that the car that may seem good for you does not really prove that it suits you – financially, practically and fashionably.

Here is an article that I think is useful for any of you who are looking for a car and be wary that what you like does’t necessarily what you love.

MailChimp is one of the best mailing list systems that addresses all your email marketing needs. Here are some of the good stuff about MailChimp and WHY your company should start consideringg to adopt it to boost traffic to your site and more sales.

1. Because it is FREE to use initially
2. Competitively priced
3. Supports custom HTML and templates
4. Mailchimp identifies users with faces
5. Superb campaign reports
6. Autoresponders
7. Social media friendly

Feel free to give MailChimp a try, after all, it is free to use. They will only charge you if your users exceeds 2,000. Happy testing!

Here's a video that I covered about some of the potential cars that may end up as timeless classics. Let's examine how does one actually spot a car that could potentially be a classic, and how to identify features that determines a car to be a classic.

Watch the video and tell me what you think in the comments space below.

I have a few blogs and all of them are about cars and wheels. Neither of my blogs have stories about a particular car brand/model and I am thinking of starting a specialised blog. I love cars in general but of late, the one classic offroading vehicle from Land Rover caught my attention -- Defender 110. And because of this new found passion, I've decided to start a blog about it, this time using the Joomla CMS instead of Wordpress. 

The learning curve for setting up a Joomla blog will be a bit steep as my team are more comfortable with how Wordpress works so this will be a step into the not-so unknown.

I wanted something not too fancy but presentable enough to highlight the different features of the vehicle and yet easy to the eyes. I am guessing most of viewers or fans of this boxy car are in their 40s or older and they would prefer to have a simple layout. But then again, I might be wrong.

I've shortlisted a few and found the one from Joomlart called JA Sulphur. This theme allows more pictures to be displayed and yet not too many words around it to bore my visitors. Because the Defender is a beautiful masterpiece (to me), I want to have more pictures in my new blog.

Here's a teaser of how the blog will look like, with sample pictures of the beautiful monster:

I am still thinking whether this would be the best or not. I know there are tons of themes out there but hmm.. let me think it over a few days. Wish me luck!
