Learning by 'trial and error'

I was pleasantly surprised when I visited my own site at 8.00pm last night and saw an increase of 118 hits over 12 hours! I am more used to 10-20 hits each time I logged on. I tried to find out why and realised that it was the first time I had used the 'link' function linking my previous post to Tony Pua's and my page title showed on his blogsite. I have in effect, hanged on to his current popularity to increase my blog hits! I am not sure whether it was automatically done, being blur as usual. There are lots of features to learn and I am not in a hurry to use them. I rather be at my own pace and learn what I need to.

The top blogs have already earned their 'million hits' with Tun Dr. Mahathir achieving a record (?) by a blogger within one month. Well, hoping I do not sound like a sour grape, it can mean either one is particularly popular or otherwise. Ali Rustam got his due when he first started and had to suspend it to stop further vicious criticisms.

In the case of a particular article posted in a well known news portal, Mansor Puteh wrote one on 'Billionaires' which he commented something like the non-Malays seem to demand everyone of them to be one before they are satisfied. It was a pity I did not save it as it was taken off the next day either because he asked for it or the editor of Malaysia Today pitied him. In fact, I like his articles except that one, as it seemed so shallow and unlike him. Maybe, it is difficult for someone on the other side to realise the pain and frustration of being left out simply because of government policies, which though with good intentions, were largely hijacked to benefit a few self-serving ones.
