I’m back!

At last, I finally found some free time to blog again. Being on the final year of my college life, I consider this opportunity as a miracle. Rarely do students like me have the luxury to slack off from studying and have the time to engage in an equally demanding task such as blogging.

Unfortunately, my free time is limited to only a couple of hours per day. And so, to avoid overstressing myself once again, I have decided to make some adjustments to my posting frequency. Instead of the regular T-Th-S-Su schedule, I’m lowering the frequency down to 1 to 2 major posts a week (excluding weekend recaps and news).

Anyways, enough with that, let us check what has happened in the Pinoy blogosphere during my absence.

Blog Event Alert!

• There’s a big event that will be held this September called WordCamp Philippines 2008. Based from what I have gathered it would be an event for Wordpress users all over the Philippines. I even heard that there will be talks on both the technical and non-technical side of Wordpress. Oh, and there’s also the possibility of meeting the big guys of the Wordpress industry like Lorren VanFossen.

Pinoy Blogosphere News

• Jun Lozada now has a blog and it can be found at http://jlozada.com/. The blog was officially launched yesterday thanks to the help of the Bloggers Kapihan Team. You could read the media coverage of the event over at Inquirer.net.
• By next Saturday, Bloggers Kapihan would be spearheading another blog launch, and this time it would be the blog of Among Ed Panlilio. Check out the full details here.
• Nominations for the Emerging Influential Blogs of 2008 is now open! Check out the full details of the writing project here.
• PinoyMoneyTalk has just released the top 50 blogs based on Alexa Rank for the month of May. Too bad PinoyBlogero.com didn’t make it into the list. Looks like I still have a long way to go for me to be included in such a list.
• Wordpress Philippines says that there are currently 2.3 Million Filipino Bloggers today. This is based according to the Wave.3 Social Media Tracker by Universal McCann, a New York media agency. Check out the other details here.

Other News

• Wondering why you can’t log-in to your Entrecard account, well that is because the EntreCard Data Center caught fire this afternoon. The Entrecard team assured that there were no damage, though there might be a bit of a downtime to assess the damage.
• A cuban blogger is awarded with a Journalism award. And who says, bloggers cannot become journalists?
• BloggingMix, a succesful blog about blogging made by Rocky (a fellow Filipino and who also happens to be one of my favorite bloggers), has been bought by WhyDoWork.com. Congratulations to Rocky!

Well, it’s good to be blogging again! ^_^

More posts coming soon!

Happy blogging!
