Sponkers in BETA!

Having a hosted site allows me to add and play around with plugins and widgets. though i am working in the IT line, i rarely touched on these items. so it is pretty new to me and i had to read up and learn how to use them. worse of all,i did not really know how to configure a permalink. so off i go on the information highway, trying find out what are these little things and how to play around with them.

as you can see, at the bottom right corner of my main page, there is the Countdown widget, the Skype widget, and also the site counter(Statcounter and getclicky). just a brief explanation of each of these nifty tools.

i am using KB Countdown widget. it allows me to add in a countdown timer with a graph bar.
with it, i can let you guys know what i am looking forward to. as you can see, i am looking forward to getting my new camera, Canon S5 iS. writing this entry also made me realise that i actually made a typo error with regards to the camera model. initally i entered Canon IS I5. what a klutz!

then there is the Skype widget, that allows me to actually display my Skype status, be it
ONLINE or Offline. i have also included the Call ME button which allows Skype users to call mejust at the click of a button. nifty!

lastly, 2 site counters. to be honest, my site traffic is averaging only at 1-2 per day. so why the need for 2 site counters. i am currently testing out Clicky as referred to me by my host and brother Abnerd. i have been using Statcounter since my blogspot days. i am now comparing both to see which is the better of the 2. i will post up my personal opinion of the 2 once i have given both enough observations.

i continue to look for more interesting plugins, and widgets to add in, in the near future.
i will also try to make this site more interesting and interactive or at least i am trying to.

in the mean time, bear with my boring entries and crappy writing style. by the way, do comment on how i could make improve my site be it writing style, font size, contents,template, or if you wish to be shamelessly plugged. whatever, feel free to leave your comments.
