Custom domain name in blogger.com

image

I’ve long dream my own domain name for my blog in kerul.blogspot.com . Too much time, energy and thought have been spent to the blog . Now it’s available at blog.kerul.net .The decision to use kerul.net is to maintain the name kerul as in the kerul.blogspot.com . I believe I have fought and promoted this brand in the Web for so long since I have my first Hotmail account during my first degree around 1997.

So now, kerul.blogspot.com is also accessible by the domain name kerul.net (vice versa). Google facilitate this domain name migration by allowing their client to keep the previous blog address.

kerul.net <-> kerul.blogspot.com

These are the steps to customise your domain name for your blog in blogger.com.

1. Choose the domain name suitable for your blog. Go to your blog dashboard –> Settings –> Publishing –> Custom Domain . Make sure you check the availability. If it is not available, you will be prompted Not Available.

2. If the domain name is available, prepare your credit/debit card. The next step is the payment. It cost only USD10 if your domain name is available.

3. Once the payment is completed, you will be provided a Google Apps access. Login to the Google Apps. Go to Domain Settings->Domain Names->Advance Domain Settings. Here you will see the Login information for your ENOM settings (Sign in to enom to change your MX records, CNAME and other advanced DNS settings.).

4. You will be given a complete step-by-step manual by Google to customise your domain. In my case I’d like to use kerul.net to be pointing to a sub-domain blog.kerul.net . Do these by accessing the access.enom.com . Provide the username and password provided by Google.

And add the info for another CNAME for blog.kerul.net . Save and wait for an hour or two (patient is virtue). They said you could have to wait for 24 hours to activate the new CNAME.

The good news by doing this custom domain name is, the domain name is my own. The bad news is, I need to re-DO the SEO process since it is a new domain. Luckily, any content related to kerul.blogspot.com will be redirected to kerul.net for free. If you are doing this in wordpress.com, you need to pay a fee.

ViewFlipper Example–a simple FlashCard

UPDATE: Improved with Fling gesture (Sept 2012) UPDATE: ViewFlipper with Flip-In and Flip-Out Animation (August 2012) This tutorial is to demonstrate the ViewFlipper layout that is almost similar to CardLayout (in Java). The app will produce a simple Flash card that provide several screens with different picture for each card. Flip-in and Flip-out animation provided. Added in Sept 2012 – an improvement to support Fling gesture – enjoy… The amendment is only on the coding part. Some how the layout design (main.xml) is quite long. Later I’ll produce separated screen by including several XML layout from outside files. Screenshots;

Turn laptop into Wifi hotspot

This article is given such a title so that it could fight for the keyword “Turn laptop into Wifi hotspot”. There are two experiment for this post; I’m trying to use Google AdWords External Tool to look for the right keyword for this article. (This is kind of SEO practice) I’d like to turn my laptop (a DELL Studio 14, Windows 7 Premium, Intel i5 64bit) into a wireless (wifi) hotspot. I’m currently using Maxis Broadband and my wireless router is broken. To buy a new wireless router will cause a such big hole in my wallet. Why don’t I use my laptop to be a wifi router? Theoretically, it’s possible. I searched and found this free software called Virtual Router (it is a additional software to turn your Windows 7/ 2008 into a wireless router). Virtual Router -  is a free, open source software based router for PCs running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. Using Virtual Router, users can wirelessly share any internet connection (Wifi, LAN, Cable Modem, Dial-up, Cellular, etc.) with ...
