I have made a small change in the Blog latest section by highlighting the latest update ones with light blue background to go with the page color theme. This way, it will be easier for visitors to see which are the latest updated ones. You like it?

Your thoughts and ideas

Hi all,

We are investing the revenue we earn from Adsense in the form a template/theme redesign. Meaning, we are buying a new dress for misual.com. What we use today is a ready made dress we got for free. Thanks to LiewCF. Now that we have made some money from Adsense, we would like to buy misual.com a designer dress.

We are looking at keeping it as close as possible a it is now – a change without change. We’ll tell the designer how we want it based on the following framework:

The rise of The Guild and The Guardian

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

misual.com completes two years today. On Aug 9 2005, misual.com began it’s life as a news aggregation website. It was personalized earlier this year.

From this day, a team of creatures called “The Guild and The Guardian” will run and manage the blog.

The Guardian will co-ordinate the team. I will adopt The Guardian for sometime. After which, I will take admin rights away from me, to demonstrate my faith and trust in the team.

A guide book which explains how misual.com is managed/run is being drafted.
