Pagtatap.org Site Updates

Friday, July 28, 2006 @ 5:18 pm by Sofie Hofmann

I just finished updating Pagtatap.org site. I finally finished resizing the pictures and uploaded them at the site. Photos of the activities of Pagtatap Foundation taken in April especially during the Tugbong Festival in Pandan, Antique, Philippines are now available online.

It took me 1 1/2 days to finish resizing and reducing the pictures. You can view the photos at the Activities section of Pagtatap.org site particularly at the 2006 Activities section. I started working on the pictures on Wednesday, July 26, 2006 and finished them the next day but didn’t upload the pictures right away as I wanted to do something more at the site.

When I was finished with the pictures, I created a new section at the site of Pagtatap.org. Instead of News only, we now have the News and Updates section. I used WordPress here and integrated the other pages with it. The old pages are still the same, only the Updates section is using WordPress.

It took me 1 1/2 days too, since yesterday afternoon until today, to design a theme for Pagtatap.org site, which was actually just patterned after the original design of the site, as well as configuring a few things like the login and register pages just like what I did with Sehdi.com Blog, SofieHofmann.com Blog and Weggis.net site.

SwissPinoy.com

This morning, I received an email from Dani Kuettel who created the SwissPinoy.com website. I visited the site and found it very interesting. I checked the domain name and learned that it was registered on April 30, 2006.

According to Dani Kuettel:

I created a web site at www.SwissPinoy.com to improve my technical skills and learn more about Filipinos in Switzerland. The idea behind SwissPinoy.com is simply to list everything about Filipinos in Switzerland and Swiss in the Philippines.

I feel honored that my personal blog, Simply Sofie – Heart and Wisdom + Smiles and Laughters at SofieHofmann.com is listed at the main page of the site through blog feed. As of today, it is listed at the main page together with X-Pat Files – Online Chronicles of a Filipino Expat in Switzerland, and Carissa )i( – Que viva la locura! Step into my organized chaos.

He wrote because he discovered that I have another blog, my web design blog, this Sehdi.com Blog, where once in a while, I write about some technical topics on the net. He asked me if someday, I could provide him the rss feed merging all my blogs into one feed. He thought that my technical blog would give readers a nice different view of Pinoys in Switzerland. Unfortunately, I have no intention to do that at the moment although it’s one of my plans, I just couldn’t do it right now nor next month. I still have some pending hobby projects.

SwissPinoy.com is still quite new but it is really such a good project. It’s a sort of a directory about Filipinos in Switzerland as well as Swiss in the Philippines. It will serve as a means for others to know more about the Filipinos in Switzerland.
