Follow this LINK for an official detailed guide from facebook on how to install this wordpress plugin. :)

Hala Kuwait.. Hala walla!

Well well well.. It might be a blog aggregator? but no.. It’s not! Posts are copied and pasted right away!

I knew about this “Hala Kuwait” blog yesterday when Dudette from 7ajidude.com posted about them, so I went to take a look at this “rippo-boy” blog! I figured out a quick way to find where posts were copied from, just click on any image in any post and then click on “View Image”. The image will view in a new browser tab, and take a look at the URL… ripped posts were taken from meenakon, Z District, Q8Path, 7ajidude, BlogLaish, Kuwaitiful, BuzzFairy, Froyonation… and much more!

How am I so sure about content being ripped, and not RSS’ed!?

I double checked the HTML page source of every post ripped by Hala Kuwait and compared it with the source post, let me put it in a clearer way… every HTML code is like a unique DNA combination that cannot be so much similar in such a way, unless it was COPIED.. and then PASTED. RSS feeding does not copy font size and color features (Technically called CSS – cascading style sheet- attributes).. It is so clear for the eye that these posts were manually copied and pasted.. to clearly understand what I’m talking about check out this post that was ripped By Hala Kuwait from Z District, and focus on the font type, size, and color.. then compare it to the font in other post on Hala Kuwait.. this can never, I mean NEVER, happen unless it was manually copied!

WELL!! This Hala Kuwait blog was either suspended by Google, or removed by the owner while I was writing this post..

Note to small business owners..

Since the beginning of this blog, I had absolutely no problem supporting small businesses posting about them, reviewing their products, or even visiting them to show support. Lately I have been trying my best not to ignore any email I get from business owners, but the thing is that I have missed many. Through this post, I hope you guys accept my apologies for not posting about your businesses, and I assure you it was completely unintentional.

It’s just that sometimes I fall under the great pressure of daily routine work besides other responsibilities, so please don’t take it personal and I promise you that I will try even harder not to miss any email a business owner sends asking for support… what could be better than supporting my nationals achieving their goals and being successful?

Thanks, love you all :)

It’s time to move on.. KTowning.com

I have two announcements to make: the first, is that I have joined the wonderful team of KTowning.com blog to start a new co-blogging experience with two new bloggers, Ahmed & Hussain. The second, is that I will not abandon blog37, it will remain as is.. alive, but I’ll be mainly focusing on posting fresh content on KTowning.

On behalf of the KTowning team, I’m giving you a promise that this new blog will introduce a new concept of blogging in Kuwait.. just wait for it :)

English vs. Arabic

 It’s the time where you guys decide what language to use for posting on my blog. Honestly speaking, sometimes I have a hard time choosing the right wording for what I post, “Bas amashi el7aal”. I had the idea of this post in mind for some time because I couldn’t come to a decision by myself. So, I would really appreciate answering the poll below.

Blog suspension

Blog37.com was suspended for some reason, and by looking at my experience of dealing with web hosts I have thought that this will be a very long week… but you know what? this will be a positive post after all…

I logged to the admin panel trying to identify the suspension reasons, at the beginning I thought it was something related to financials since my host offers everything unlimited… “literally unlimited***”. Everything was fine, all amounts paid, all domains automatically and manually renewed. (*** having an unlimited account does not give you the right to abuse it.. be wise)

After a short chat with the customer care representative who offered me 4 options to solve my issue, I decided to contact the “Terms of Service” team via email… and guess what! I could swear that the maximum response time from this host was 10 minutes… replies were confident and straight to the point. The blog is now back, and I would really like to thank my host (Fastdomain.com) for this excellent service.. you have a loyal customer who’s not moving to any other host! :)

Quit… ?

 

I don’t really know what to say.. just started a post with an intention to quit blogging… but I realized that quitting means leaving my blog, my passion, and even myself.. all behind. Is this what I really want? I don’t know! this blog is the only place where I have been the “real me”… 

I have been expecting long time a go, a day will come and I’ll leave everything behind… I’ve been really busy with work, personal projects and other things that kept pushing me away from blogging… don’t know whether to keep going as I used to, or just let go! I’m lost!!

Help.. !
