philipyeoh.com is officially launched!

Dear readers, it gives me great pleasure to make this announcement: (drum roll, please) my website, www.philipyeoh.com is now launched! And ahead of schedule too. I’d originally planned to do this in early August, but since I’ve managed to iron out most of the kinks (and swat those persistent gremlins) I thought I’d go for an early start.

Basically I’m using this website to sell and promote my first ebook, titled Learn to Play the Piano in 12 Lessons. If you’re 15 years and older, have a hankering for learning the piano (but never got around to it), now’s your chance! With my ebook as your guide, you can be up and running in as little as 12 lessons. And since you’re doing it on your own, you can take as much time as you want on each lesson. You’re the boss!

More info can be obtained at my new website. I’ve purposely kept the site simple, because since this is targeted towards the whole globe, I realize that some of you might still be on dial-up, and it ain’t fun waiting ages for a site to load, is it?

Anyway, please go to my site and click around. Feel free to sign the guestbook, add a comment, and more importantly, buy my ebook if you wish (and I wish you would!)

See you there! Wave

Website work (still) in progress

I’m still working furiously on my website, www.philipyeoh.com. Just about all of the pages have been done, except for one or two. And it’s also a matter of tweak and test, tweak and test. Don’t want to disappoint all you guys out there, lol. I’ve learnt a lot in the process, but probably the most surprising thing I’ve learnt is that it’s not that easy to set up your own website. True, if you go the Geocities or Tripod way. But I’ve been there, done that. Now I have my own domain, so everything is solely my own work.

I’ve mentioned this before, but Kompozer really saved my butt. I just can’t sing the praises of this wonderful WYSIWYG program enough. You can use it as a WYSIWYG or edit the HTML source code within the program itself. And for Pete’s sake, it’s free. Beat that!

I still plan to launch my website on schedule, meaning August 2008. But before doing that, there’s a lot of testing and tweaking to be done. So you will understand if I don’t blog too often this month.

These browsers are knockouts

Alright, since I’m about to publish my website, I figured that I’d better test out my pages on the other popular browsers, namely Firefox 3 and Opera 9.5 (I’m using IE7 as my primary browser). So off I went into the web to download them, and boy, I must say I’m impressed!

Firefox 3 is superb and fast. Downloading it was easy, what with just a 7.8MB installer, and in minutes I was up and running. Pages, especially graphics, render extremely fast, at least two times faster than IE7. Tabbed browsing was a breeze, and importing favorites from IE was a no-brainer. With so many add-ons and widgets available, this browser is truly versatile and amazing. As of now, my website pages render pretty well with Firefox, except for one broken table.

Opera 9.5 is another stunner. Look at the homepage (see below). Geez, wish I could nick that minimalist design for my website, it’s classy and gorgeous! The same can be said of the browser (just a 8.5MB download). Installation was smooth and Opera automatically imports all the IE favorites without a hitch. Page rendering of text and graphics is just as fast as Firefox 3, and of course tabbed browsing is standard. Widgets are plentiful. And my website pages all display beautifully in this browser-yay!
