  2. Honestly, I like the move. Cleaner, more professional-looking, and faster to load. :) Commenting is also made easy and ultra painless because all info is auto-remember.


    Just my cuppa. I find Wordpress easier to use and my blog is definitely in a much better state when using Wordpress (less spam, especially)j. Why don't you try it for a month then, decide what you think?

  6. I'm thinking of moving there too.

    Though, still getting used to the kinks of WP and learning CSS to make modifications to templates easier.

    But maybe, just reserve anakbrunei.wordpress.com address and import posts from here to there for now?

  9. After playing with Wordpress over the last few days, I find that it is certainly more powerful and versatile but I've decided to stick with Blogger for now :)

Hadrah

Image
... In the past, hadrah was only performed during weddings, but now it is performed in open events, to greet honoured guests and more significantly to signal the arrival of His Majesty in various events...

... Brunei youths nowadays have done well in preserving the heritage and have even enhanced it. Back then, competition involved only beating of drums and chanting. But now performances are choreographed to make it more attractive and interesting...
