Issue with "Don't track your own pageviews"
Do you use your own domain name with Blogger? Do you place "Blogger's Stats Widget" on your page? Or do you regularly check up the stats from your Blogger's dashboard? And most importantly have you found that "Don't track your own pagesviews" link no longer works? Well, it used to be working when I used the regular subdomain under blogspot.com.

Build your own Related Posts widget for Blogger
I have visited many blog sites and most of them have "Related Posts" or "You may also like - " section for visitors who like to discover more related articles or stories. I am one of those visitors who likes to find out more interesting posts which are related to the original article I have read. Indeed, having related posts section will increase your exposures of your site. That is no doubt about it. Unfortunately, I didn't have this feature on my site since I started to customise it. Of course I then started to do some research about building [...]

It contains code samples, descriptions and CSS code for presentation. After I published the article, I noticed that some posts on my home page went missing. I set the setting to display 8 posts per page for home page, categories, paging and search [...]

Start your own MVC Framework with PHP
I have been using ASP .NET MVC for many years. It is a complex framework but not difficult to learn (at least for .NET developers). Anyway, I like the way it handles templates and routing. Few years ago, one of my clients asked me to developed a simple ERP system with PHP and MySQL. My first thought was: "Why not developing a simple MVC framework with PHP?". It would allow me to utilise the backend code and avoid mixing code in classes. I started to study many PHP MVC Frameworks such as Zend Framework, Symfony and CakePHP but I realised those [...]
