Last night, Alvin who changed his template asked me, what are the codes of “Recent entries” for Wordpress blogs.

Eventhough Blogsome is running on Wordpress content management system (CMS), its codes are very different from a true Wordpress blog. We searched through the Wordpress support forum but couldn’t find anything helpful.

Finally, I asked Idlan, who was kind enough to help us before getting ready for breaking fast. Thank you Idlan ! :-)

For anyone who need the codes, you have it here !

<!–This will show the last 10 posts, including the last one. To change the number of post shown edit the ‘nuberposts=x’ to whatever value you want, and to skip the last one (or last 2, 3, etc.) increase the value of ‘offset=x’ (default is “0″ so it will start by the last post)–>

<ul>
<?php $posts = get_posts(’numberposts=10&offset=0′); foreach ($posts as $post) : ?>
<li>
<a href=”<?php the_permalink(); ?>” title=”<?php the_title() ?>”><?php the_title() ?></a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

<!– End of Activity –>

Also, thanks to Budu that solved my problem on how to display raw codes here. Before this, the codes couldn’t be shown as raw codes, because they were translated into the effect of what the codes represented. Thus, Budu suggested me to change all the < and > into their respective Html codes, namely & l t ; and & g t ; … It works ! Thanks Budu ! :-)

We’ll be missing you, Allahyarhamah Yang Amat Bahagia Datin Seri Endon Mahmud, the beloved first lady of we Malaysians.

Surely you have had a meaningful life, Datin Seri. Your kid, Kamaluddin Abdullah, tauke of Scomi, has helped many in the street seeing their accounts multiplying.

And your son-in-law, Khairi Jamaluddin. He could’ve contributed ideas to the nation in much better ways, had the warlords not ridiculed his young age. Similarly, they blocked his way to becoming CEO of Khazanah Nasional Bhd at the last minute. What a loss for the nation.

And you have your adorable daughter, Nori, who, like Datuk Paduka Marina, supports and promotes liberalism. I sincerely wish you gals could do more. Our country need progress. I pray for her becoming the next Marina, outspoken and fearless.

I wonder who else will succeed you in promoting Nyonya Kebaya and Songket. Will your successors also support breast cancer awareness campaign, or help starving kids in North Korea, Bosnia Herzegovina or Kosovo like you ?

You have laid the foundation of such a fine legacy. I offer my deepest condolence to Datuk Seri, Nori, Kamaluddin and Khairy. May you rest in peace. May God bless your soul. Farewell, my dear first lady.

All of you us who wish to offer your condolence to PM, please visit this PMO page :

Thank you to all of you who criticized the previous version as distasteful (Bob), bad taste (Din), unfair and dissappointing (Lyn), bad taste and not at the most appropriate of times (David) and imporper (Ninetnine). The criticism is very much appreciated.
