Hello everyone! Pardon the very late release of this week’s edition of the Weekend Roundup. If you’ve been visiting/following the blog the past few days, you know that I was migrating my blog to a new webhost. I did that last weekend but encountered some mod/rewrite rule issues so I decided to go back to my previous hosting provider. So in a span of 3 days I migrated my blog to different webhosts, twice. Because of that, I wasn’t able to publish this edition of the Weekend Roundup on time. I had to wait until the DNS propagation was in full effect before posting any articles/updates so that everyone would be able to access them. Hope you guys like this week’s roundup.

Hi again. So you like the Ping-Pong issue, haha. Anyway, I am concerned about you having problems posting comments on my blog. As you may have seen, I have people commenting there and it appears that there has been no problems as of now. I know there was one issue that would only let registered Echo users comment, but I got that fixed and as a matter of fact, I allow even anonymous users to comment. I simply moderate them. If you can, do try again.
On the comment form, click on the “from” and select “other site”. You should be able to type in your name and URL. That’s it (hopefully)

@DiTesco – Hi! Thanks for the warm welcome! :D
Ping-ping issue? Haha..that’s a new term. But yeah, it did feel something like that. I was also concerned about it but I did my best to get this blog back online ASAP.
Actually, this is already #55. Its all good my friend, its never too late to start something like on your blog. ;)
Btw, I forgot to tell you earlier that I’ve been having problems commenting on your blog posts. I don’t know whats wrong but the comment form just won’t let me even if I provide all the necessary/required data. Dunno if I’m the only experiencing this, but I thought you ought to know about it.

Hi there and welcome back after a “hosting ping-pong issue”, lol. I thought that “sorry for the inconvenience” image was going to stay there for a while:)
Anyway, fantastic roundup. You already have #52 and I am just taking my baby steps on my Weekly Echoes, haha. BTW, liked the post about the hacked passwords and 11 tips to backlink building.

@myatz – This is my weekly feature here on my blog. I chose that name because I publish it during the weekends and it is a roundup of different articles/posts of different topics from around the web. Did that make sense? Anyways, thanks for stopping by! :D

sorry about this…just got in here, so i have to ask what does weekend roundup means?!
October 6th, 2009 at 12:05 am
@elmot – Yeah, thank God! Now, I can get back to business. :D
October 6th, 2009 at 12:04 am

@Teejay – You’re welcome! ;)
Yep, I did and it sure was a big headache. I’ve done several blog migrations before and this is the first time that I had so much problems/issues. I’m just glad that everything’s working again.
I’m back to my previous web host. I never had any problems with them regarding load times, uptime, etc. only that high cpu usage thing and I hope that Super Cache solves that.

Thanks for the inclusion Jaypee.
Migrated twice huh? That must have been a big headache. Where are you hosting your site now?
October 5th, 2009 at 7:20 pm
@deuts – It didn’t work out and had to do with some mod/rewrite rule issues so I’m back to my previous web host. I hope installing the Super Cache plugin would help and prevent the high cpu usage from happening again. :)
October 5th, 2009 at 7:18 pm
So how was the webhost switch so far? Is it finished yet?
