Blogosphere Summary - Week #1
Starting from this week onwards, Wayne Liew Dot Com will be featuring weekly round up posts which will be having outgoing links that are pointed to some blogging tips and blog happenings around the blogosphere.
A few reasons that have prompted me to have this new type of posts on Wayne Liew Dot Com are as follows:

- Link giveaways! Thus, from now on, if you have any nice blogging tips or blogosphere happenings that you would like me to know about, just contact me to get your articles featured on Wayne Liew Dot Com.
- Wayne Liew Dot Com is incapable of having all-in-one tips. Obviously, I am not "know all blogger" and many other blogging blogs out there have been providing comprehensive blogging tips which I guess would help my readers a lot.
- Slowing down everything. I am still finding trouble to post daily and hopefully with this, I will find my time to plan for more useful upcoming posts. Stay tuned and subscribe to Wayne Liew Dot Com RSS Feed.
- Networking. I have said in my blogging resolution for Year 2008 that I will seek more chance to network with fellow bloggers and by giving away links, hopefully I can build some relationship via cross-blog conversation.
Let’s Get The Week Rolling…
Blogging workspace and desktop show off
This week has been marred by little or no events until everyone starts to discuss or going to discuss about how their blogging workspace and desktop looks like over at What Does Your Desktop Look Like? following the showcase of Darren’s Problogger HQ 2.0.
Performancing results out
The first blogging awards by Performancing, has end and the results has been published at Performancing Blog Awards 2007 Winners. Some nominated blogs are clear winners among the group of blogs they are in when the list is out but anyway, hop over and take a look if your favorite blogs have won the some award over there. Well, sadly and disappointingly, Wayne Liew Dot Com is not there…
Blog designs, blog usability and blog themes
This has been a week about blog design and blog themes for me. After a few jokes on this issue with pablopabla from Blogsreview.net, I become serious and went around quoting for blog design prices. Also, How to Effectively Use a Unique Website Layout by Steven Snell made up my blog design week.
Malaysian Advertlets users expired
This seems to be a shame for Malaysian blog advertising startup, Advertlets. They got their domain expired. Although they got it fixed after that, the news broke into the worldwide blogosphere, making publicity for the brand via Advertlets Joins The Deadpool, Or Maybe Just Forgets To Renew Their Domain Name
The Big Thing: Google Page Rank update!
At last, the news that will shake the entire blogosphere is out again. Google Page Rank is starting to dance again with reports from Gary Conn via Google PageRank Updates For Jan 2008. However, there is no movement to Wayne Liew Dot Com’s Page Rank since the rise to PR4 last time. Keep the servers of Page Rank checkers busy guys, or should you?

Eh, there was a bloggers gathering this morning at Midvalley Megamall. I think many local KL bloggers went.
Thanks for the link Wayne. I’ve found linking out to be a nice way to help with networking, so I’m sure you will too.
wow, now u just reminded me, i just checked my PR and now it’s 4, same as u yeah! But how is it going to happen next month? Hope not to drop.
@ Deimos
Just kidding, no transportation there to join you all.
Yes, there is a gathering there. However, I chose not to make a public appearance just yet.
Congratulations on the Page Rank update, dude.
@ Steven Snell
Thanks. The fun thing of having link posts is to network.
@ jayhan
Well, it is all up to Google. Congratulations of getting a 4. Looks like I am sitting on a 4 as well.
Hmmm, no PR change on my front… This is weird
@Wayne Liew:
Thanks.
I did not go to the gathering though, no time.
jayhan, goldfries and some others more went.
I red your info in my mail update and check on my PR. It was N/A for HomeBiz Resource back then in November 07. I expect to step up to PR 1 or maybe 2 if I’m lucky..but…. it’s 4…!!! WOW…!! doubled my expectations!!.. thanks God!!
lessons I learn: build the community; contribute to the community; be active; exchange links; don’t think about rel=”nofollow”, leave your link where u have a chance, just don’t spam
[...] was alarmed about the recent PR update and rushed to check. I was expecting one or two PR at most, but look! HomeBiz Resource was awarded [...]
it is good to provide credit for other people’s post….good compilation
@ Mike
Are you expecting a rise? Same to me but PR4 is good enough since I am not monetizing them… Google, just give me No.1 for the keywords I want.
@ Deimos
I wonder how those guys look like? Chatted with them online a few times but never met them offline. Same goes to you as well.
@ Louis
Congratulations. Hopefully with the great leap of PR, your page ranking for the keyword “Home Buz Resource” will rise as well.
Also, climb the top commentators ladder here. It will pass you some PR4 juice.
@ Rice Blogger
Thanks. Good posts deserve to be mentioned over and over again.
