So I’ve always wanted to keep a diary, right? I tried it back in high school. Most of my entries were about girls, people that I hated, my parents always trippin’ on me, and more girls. I eventually grew tired of writing journal entries every other month. It was too much work. And it was sorta gay.

I tried it again in college. Using small planners, I jotted down short phrases every day. So in a way, it was written in code that only I, Baddie, can decode. I stopped doing it when my ex-girlfriend got a hold of my cute little planner. She gave me a beating (this is an opening for a hand job joke, but I won’t go there) after seeing all kinds of code names that were obviously for girls. Hey, I’m a friendly guy! Shut up.

I still sort of keep logs of my life by writing blog entries both in this blog and in Face Rockery. But all the tiny details of my everyday life are obviously seeping through the cracks of my Alzheimer’s-esque memory. This is where Twitter comes in.

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.

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?

Hellooo, Ella! Before I get giddy and giggle like a school girl about the release of WordPress 2.1 (codenamed “Ella”, after jazz vocalist Ella Fitzgerald), I’d like to tell the boring story of how Ella arrived just in time to help me out with fusing my LongBox posts into Baddieverse.

LongBox was initially my personal blog. Wanting to try out “niche blogging”, I turned it into a blog about comic books and comics-related media, at the same time creating this stupid Baddieverse blog to be my new personal blog.

I reserved all my comics-related posts for LongBox, and as it turned out, I didn’t have enough comics-related posts to keep me interested in maintaining two blogs. I ended up posting a new entry once a week. And for something so boring coming out only once a week, it meant death to traffic and comments. Death, I tells ya! Yes, I finally realized that keeping two personal blogs is a stupid idea. It’s not only stupid, it’s also… well, “stupid” pretty much sums it all up.
