For this post, I’m going tech geeky on you folks. I’ve been in love with WordPress and its multitude of plug-ins ever since I first tried to be cool by creating my own WordPress-powered blog. So for this Top 5 Lists post, I’m going to give you my top 5 favorite WordPress plug-ins. Yeah, the stuff that the blogger in me can’t live without.

#5: Admin Dropdown Menu - It may seem useless at first, but when it’s crunch time and you need to go to a lot of different places in your WordPress administration panel, Admin Dropdown Menu saves you a lot of clicks and time. Seriously, it makes using the admin side a lot more easy and efficient.

#4: WordPress Database Backup - Another seemingly “redundant” plug-in since you can just go into whatever software you’re using to manage your database to back it up, but like Admin Dropdown Menu, this makes things easier. You can do the backup right in the admin side and you can choose which tables you can backup in addition to the core database WordPress tables. Sweet.

Last December, I signed up for an account at My Journal Philippines. I posted a couple of non-sense articles on my MJP blog, and I don’t think I won’t be able to update it in the foreseeable future. God knows I’m having a hard time right now updating this blog.

On that note, I’m going to post one of my stupid articles from my MJP blog here. Why? Having a hard time blah blah blah.

I wrote this piece after my first night out for 2007. I went out with several college friends, and we had a great time at Metrowalk. Where there’s electricity. See, during that time, we had no electricity at the apartment. One of the reasons why I went back to commuting from Sta. Rosa to Ortigas and back every freakin’ day. We’re still in the first quarter, but 2007’s memorable already.

So anyway, here it is. It’s in Tagalog. And it’s corny. But whatever.

Remember when I told you guys I’ll be publishing a Weekly Haul post every Sunday or Monday? Sure you don’t. But let’s pretend you regularly visit my blog and you remember what I’m talking about. OK. Well, it seems I bit off more than I can chew. Seeing that whenever I get drunk on a Friday night (or is it Saturday morning?), I spend the whole weekend recovering from a bitchin’ hangover. And I’m trying really hard to cut down on my comics buying spree every freakin’ week. Then there’s the matter of laziness while wondering if anyone’s interested in what I’m talking about, except for other comic book geeks. But I’m not doing this for the masses, am I? Am I? No. Err… no.

So with that lame excuse for a “late” blog post, let me go ahead and bore you some more with this week’s haul. Boring SPOILERS ahead!

After pulling my hair out with WordPress‘ export and import features (there might have been some issues with the export feature and my previous host, but I don’t give a shit anymore), I decided to get my hands dirty and move my blog to a new host by interfacing directly with the database. It wasn’t pretty, but I managed to make the move without losing data. I rule!

So from this moment on, ladies and freaks, bigbaddie.com is where it’s at. Not entirely sure what “it” is, but it’s here, ‘yo. So for you lovely souls linking to my old URL, I beg you to update your links with my new URL. I’ll owe you a cookie. And as for the new visitors of this attention whore blog, ’sup?

To end my five-part Baddie Bookmarks series, I’d like to share links that are related the my favorite topic. The topic I’ll never run out of time to talk about. The topic that’s the most important of all: Me. Yes, I’m going to show you my past stomping grounds on the Intarwebz. I warn you, it won’t be pretty.

Let’s start with my old blogs. Exhaust was my first blog. It’s where I learned how to create a blog, but unfortunately, I didn’t learn to successfully maintain a blog until further down the road. I’ve had several regular readers and visitors in this blog. Most of them vanished when I moved on to another blog. More on that other blog later. While I was blogging on Exhaust, I created another blog. The Diary of the Wolf.

Needless to say, it was a way to let out my inner retarded psychopath. Both these blogs contain sophomoric emo drama, irritating lonely guy angst, and sub-par spalling and grammer. You’ve been warned.
