Filed under Personal. Posted 09 Aug 2006.
Oklah. I’ve been working mostly during weekends on this project for the past month and my few beta testers didn’t say much so I don’t know what are the major things to improve. Anyway, I think it’s time for me to offer other Sabahan bloggers the chance to be in this little experimental site of mine.
It’s a “blogtal” of some sort created specially for Sabahans. I think this is another way for you to get more traffic. Is it a clone of Petaling St? Well the idea is from there but it’s not ping-based. This is because we don’t want to waste time reading spam.
It’s RSS-based, so many Sabahan bloggers can be part of this since almost all free blog services offer rss feeds. At the moment, the feed is updated every hour. Means the giuk will check your rss every hour for new items. If there are, then it will be copied over to the site.
So where’s the site?
It’s here at Giuk.net.
To get your site listed here, just send your rss feed to mrbadak@gmail.com. I accept only blogs by Sabahan or blogs on Sabah. After your site has been added, you don’t have to do anything else. Sweet eh?
Comments and suggestions are most welcome! Bookmark Giuk.net now!

aiya, sorry for not “saying much” :-D
anyway… i’m not that familiar with “blogtal” thingy so as long as the site works, fine for me. i did raise one question a few weeks back (on why there’s no link to the titles), but u never replied so… i guess that was done on purpose (talking abt the title aaa… not abt u not replying me :-P).
mmm… i wanted to comment on the colors also, but then again, the others seems ok with it, so… no problem there lah… nanti jadi pink/light blue… mcm blogtal for ppuan pla kan?

flanegan – if i’m not mistaken, the engine will check every hour so, klu ngam2 ko post 1 minute after the last check, ko kena tunggu 1 hr baru ko punya entry kena display.
mrB – sorry… i’m posting my 3rd comment :-P. actually dis was supposed to be my 1st comment for dis entry tp yg sya submit2 inda bulih nih…
i oredi type pjg2 bah tadi but “gone with the click”. sya taip balik sikit2 la…
sorry for not “saying much”… actually i did send u one question thru e-mail. mcm yg c LAi tanya tu… but u never replied :-( i was abt to comment on the color oso but, sokay lah… nanti klu sya suggest color, jadi mcm blog sya pula. nanti kaler pink/light blue, jadi mcm blogtal for ladies pula :-D

Wah shiok ramai reply kekeke. Thanks for replying.. now let me balas pantun.
mimi – sorry sorry sorry for not replying u kay. when u told me abt the prob, i fixed it and ingat ko suda check hehe. my bad. let me know if u still have the prob. abt the colors, yes it is very “the bad” now and i will change the whole thing (colors/design) when the system, in my opinion is ready for big time.
jusdy – itu 2x klik baru kluar punya masalah, sia sedar tu tapi sia suda fix. kalau ko masi ada masalah, bagitau sia apa browser ko guna. pasal ni blog punya comment plugin punya masalah, sia baru tau, nasib ko kestau, nnt sia cuba check apa masalah dia.
flanegan – the giuk will catch yr feed every hour with 00 minutes (like 12:00,1:00, 2:00.. back to 12:00.. AM or PM.. 24x a day, 365 days a year.. hehe. so if u want your post to appear immediately, post it around XX:59 minutes hehe.

Some suggestions:
1. Provide a toggle switch that give visibility to all descriptions or hide all at once.
2. Option to open in new window cause I don’t like my back button or ctrl+click. Too lazy. LOL.
3. Presentation. You could make the ‘itemstitle’ font a little bigger or make the descriptions font smaller or fonts varieties. Small cute icons won’t kill.
4. Perhaps full registration to avoid manual adding?
Overall, love it. Keep it up!
