orang suka mintak puji

2007-12-12T21:40:00.001-08:00

“Apabila kamu melihat orang yang suka memuji, maka
taburkanlah debu di mukanya.” (HR Muslim)

Ketika Khalifah Hisyam bin Abdil Malik berada di Makkah, dia menyuruh pengawalnya untuk mendatangkan seorang sahabat. Sang pengawal berkata, “Mereka semua telah tiada, wahai Amirul Mukminin.” Hisyam berkata, “Kalau begitu, datangkan saja tabi’in.” Maka, dipanggillah Thawus Al-Yamani yang kebetulan ada di Makkah.

Thawus pun datang memenuhi panggilan Khalifah. Thawus berkata, “Assalamu ‘alaika ya Hisyam (Keselamatan atasmu, hai Hisyam).” Thawus tidak memberikan salam Amirul Mukminin kepada Khalifah. Bahkan, Thawus juga tidak menyertakan gelar apa pun untuk Khalifah. “Bagaimana kabarmu, hai Hisyam?” tanya Thawus.

Wuhhh, muka Khalifah merah padam menahan amarah yang teramat sangat, sampai-sampai dia hendak membunuh Thawus. Namun, sang pengawal membisikkan, bahwa dia sedang berada di Tanah Haram, dimana dia tidak mungkin melakukan hal tersebut.

Khalifah berkata, “Hai Thawus, apa yang membuatmu berani bersikap seperti itu?” Thawus menjawab, “Memangnya apa yang aku lakukan?” Khalifah pun semakin geram. “Kau tidak mengucapkan salam Amirul Mukminin kepadaku dan langsung memanggil namaku ‘Hai Hisyam’ tanpa menyebut gelar apa pun!” kata Khalifah.

Thawus berkata, “Aku tidak memberikan salam Amirul Mukminin kepadamu, karena tidak semua orang ridha dengan pemerintahanmu. Dan, aku tidak mau berbohong dalam hal ini. Adapun aku langsung memanggilmu Hisyam, karena Allah memanggil para nabi dan kekasih-Nya; Hai Yahya, hai Isa… Sedangkan kepada musuhnya, Dia menyebut; Celakalah kedua tangan Abu Lahab!”

Sejatinya, bukan hanya penguasa dan pejabat sahja yang gila pujian ingin dipanggil dengan panggilan terhormat dan sebutan mentereng. Terkadang, sadar atau tidak, kita juga suka memuji diri sendiri; menyebut diri sebagai Ulama, Kyai, Ustadz, Tuan Haji, Mak Hajah, dan sebagainya. Jika memuji orang lain secara berlebihan saja dicela Nabi SAW. Bagaimana halnya dengan orang yang suka memuji dirinya sendiri? Wallahu a’lam bish-shawab.

How can I create expandable post summaries?

Cara Membuat Read More.... atau Post Summary

Dengan trik ini anda dapat menampilkan read more....
(atau baca selanjutnya)
atau sejumlah teks sebagai paragraf awal dari artikel/ posting anda.
Terpenggal dan paparan blog anda tidak panjang,berjela, jika pelawat ingin membaca keseluruhan artikel cukup meng-klik link 'read more' untuk melihat keseluruhan artikel. Hal ini untuk meringkas jika anda mempunyai artikel yang panjang pada satu page halaman anda.

Ada tiga trik yang harus anda lakukan untuk menampilkan post summary:
conditional CSS, link "read more" untuk setiap posting, dan modifi bagi posting-posting yang menggunakan featur ini.
Mari kita lakukan cara ini, selangkah demi selangkah.

1. Untuk Klasik Template (classic templates)

Kondisional CSS

Kita akan menggunakan tag kondisional untuk merubah paparan posting anda di setiap halaman. Masukan kod script berikut pada style sheet anda, dan kod ini khas untuk classic template:

<MainOrArchivePage>
span.fullpost {display:none;}
</MainOrArchivePage>

Style sheet letaknya di bahagian atas template anda antara <style> dan </style>. Sisipkan kod diatas tepat di atas tag ini>>></style>

Link "Read More"

Simpanlah kod berikut pada template anda, letaknya setelah tag <$BlogItemBody$>

Nota : Read More! boleh anda ganti dengan perkataan apapun, seperti Baca Selengkapnya atau Baca Selanjutnya, atau apapun.

Link read more hanya akan tampil pada halaman utama, dan akan membawa pelawat anda pada post keseluruhan dari teks anda.

Modified Post

Langkah terakhir yang perlu dilakukan ialah meletak kod singkat ini:

Sisip kod diatas pada kolom 'Post Template', letaknya di 'Formatting' pada bagian 'Setting' dalam 'Dashboard' blogger anda.

2. Untuk Layout Blogger Beta layouts):

condision CSS

Masukan kod ini:

Tepat letak diatas </head> di css template beta anda

Read More

Langkah selanjutnya membuat Read More. Setelah tag ini <data:post.body/> masukan kod dibawah ini:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
<a expr:href='data:post.url'>Read more!</a>
</b:if>

Anda juga boleh memodified read more anda, disini ada sejumlah cara untuk itu:

1. Klik 'read more' sekalian membuka window baru.

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
<a expr:href='data:post.url' target='_blank'>Read more!</a>
</b:if>

Dengan ini tanda 'read more' akan membuka window baru jika diklik oleh pelawat blog anda.

2. Mengubah font/huruf 'read more' anda menjadi besar:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
<span style="font-size:120%;"><a expr:href='data:post.url' target='_blank'>Read more!</a></span>
</b:if>

3. Mengubah font 'read more' anda menjadi bold:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
<span style="font-weight:bold;"><a expr:href='data:post.url' target='_blank'>Read more!</a></span>
</b:if>

4. Jika anda ingin font 'read more' anda besar dan bold, ini kodnya:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
<span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-size:120%;"><a expr:href='data:post.url' target='_blank'>Read more!</a></span></span>
</b:if>

Nota Read More dapat anda tukar dengan apa apa perkataan yang anda kehendaki.

Modified Post

Langkah terakhir yang perlu dilakukan ialah meletak kod singkat ini:

<span class="fullpost"></span>

Letak kod diatas pada kolom 'Post Template', letakanya di 'Formatting' pada bahagian 'Setting' dalam 'Dashboard' blogger anda.

Dan nanti paparanya akan seperti beberapa artikel pada blog saya ini.

Selamat mencuba "Good Luck.

Step-by-Step Instructions Wordpress.

Part I - For the Beginner
WordPress

The first decision in blogging is whether you're going to use a hosted solution which is ready-to-go out of the box, or if you're going to do something custom that requires your own hosting account and some level of technical know-how.There are many open-source options for those who are ready to take total control over their blogs, which I'll cover in Part II. But beginners who simply MUST take action now, here you go: Step-by-Step for the beginning bloggerbr>
Go to this free hosted WordPresssite

Click "Create a new blog" in the middle of the page

Enter a username and active email account address

Leave the default set to "Gimme a blog" and click next

On the next page, enter the English you want for your blog address for "Blog
Domain." For example, if you enter "maitawau" in the box, your blog address will be maitawau.wordpress.com.

Enter a blog title. This will be English on the main banner of your blog home page (and all other pages). This should be selected carefully to reflect your main theme. You can always change this later if needed.

Leave the privacy setting on the default. You want Google and other search engines to index your blog.

Go to your email and click the link to activate your blog.

Now if you're interested, here's all the thinking behind this recommendation for WordPress. The evolution of open-source blogging software has been very exciting. But for the beginner, a hosted blog solution is most certainly the way to go. They are free, and you'll be up and running in 5 minutes. All that's required is an active email account. This way, you can test the waters a bit and see if you really like blogging before you get into anything that requires serious time commitment or money.

Arguably the most popular blogging platform is WordPress. . If you're interested in the history of the WordPress blogging software, read the full history at the WordPress wiki entry. WordPress has a number of advantages over the other choices.The first of which is familiarity and ease of use. There are simply so many WordPress instances running that people are used to navigating them. Why make your users get used to a different interface? You want to minimize distractions so that your users really engage with you and respond to your topics. Right? This is the essence of blogging, isn't it? So here's a step-by-step on how to start a WordPress blog in 5 minutes:

Part II - For the Advanced Blogger

If you've been around the block in blogging, then you know there is an entirely different conversation to have once you've gotten your feet wet. You issues as
an advanced blogger come down to Blog Strategy and Blog Promotion.
Blog Strategy

Here are some really important strategy points for the advanced blogger who is trying to find their niche, build their audience or move their writing further along.

Post often. No less than 3-5 times per week.

Proof read your postings, ALWAYS!

Write even when you're not sure what to write about, but find your theme

Try to make things interactive with your audience

Try to respond to meaningful comments as a way to increase dialog

Consider a series on a specific topic, this brings people back

Post meaningful content

Promote your blog

I find it very difficult to write about things that I don't feel any passion for. It really helps to have an interest in the topics you're writing about. If you don't you need to work extra hard to make your writing express enthusiasm. Research for interesting facts before you write. Read and re-read to see if what you've created is *really* that interesting. Re-write.

Blog Promotion

Blog promotion is a difficult task. At heart is a the simple concept of high quality content. If what you're producing is not good, you can't expect it to take you that far. That being said, there are a number of ways that good content goes unnoticed on this vast Internet. You need to follow a solid promotion strategy to ensure that you well-crafting product is distributed is far as possible.

Blogs with consistent themes are more attractive to readers

SEO is critical

Keyword selection for your pieces is important

Tighter blogs index better in the search engines

Promote your blog in forums

Links to your blog are incredibly important

Register your blog in high PR directories

Sandakan Toastmaster in Medan

2007-12-10T06:50:00.000-08:00

Last weekend, a few of Sandakan Toastmasters namely, Madame President herself, Datin Grace, CL Norman Chin, CL Amy Hiew, TM Bee Lin, CL Dusun and CC Margaret attended the District Semi Annual Convention in Medan.
So here's Norman's testimony on his trip to Medan..

“ Medan , here I come!”

That’s what on my mind when I boarded Air Asia AK5161 flying to Medan , Indonesia .
I finally went for my first ever District convention after joining Toastmasters Club for 5 years. Six of our club members, Bee Lin, President Grace, Amy, Magaret, Dusun and myself, went for the Medan Convention 2007, it turn out we have a wonderful and memorable time in Medan.
Being inspired by Past Internation President, DTM Dilip Abayasekara, outstanding speech was my best bid in the Medan Convention. I was also inspired by some of the outstanding Toastmasters who had shown great leadership skill, courage and dedication during the convention. By observing, I gain the momentum to serve the club and Toastmasters in better ways.
I enjoy Medan convention because I like to visit new places. Medan , Indonesia , is a brand new destination in my journey of traveling. Being in Medan , I have been able to try out different things such as their food, culture and languages. To be honest, Indonesia food was not really my type of food, but in life, we do have to try and enjoy something different once a while. As for the Indonesia culture, I learn the Indonesia people ways of dancing and I also learn a word of greeting “Horas”, which means welcome in Indonesia Language
On the last day of the convention, we were entertained by the finest speakers from varies Division competing in the Evaluation Contest and Humorous Speech contest. I am impressed by those top speakers and I certainly enjoy listening to their speeches and evaluation. Hopefully, our club representative will be competing in the stage soon.
This convention was really an eye opener for me, I believe I will attend more convention in the near future be it for fellowship, listening for great speeches or visiting new places, I enjoyed every moment of it. "
Sounds fun aye peeps?
Oh well, here're some snapshots of our members in Medan along with other Toastmasters.By TM Sandakan

One Nigt In Bali

2007-12-10T06:30:00.000-08:00

Dear all,
2007 is almost coming to an end. There is only one last chance for you to attend the Toastmasters meeting, which will be on the 10th December. So if you have been busy for the whole year, for whatever reason (s) it might be, try to make it this time.
Here are some of the special reasons why you should not miss the coming meeting:
1. It has been themed "One Night In Bali" - If you find wearing too much, too formal and too proper and wanted a break, then this is the one. I leave it to your inmagination on what to wear, this time, ok?
2. We will be celebrating Christmas this time too. Instead of sending out greeting cards and sms to greet each other Merry Christmas, why not do it personally during the meeting?
3. For the first time ever, we are going to have a gifts exchange, as suggested by our President. So bring a gift of about RM20 to the meeting. No one is going to check the price tag, by the way!!
4. Most of all, dinner will be sponsored by our newest Competent Communicator Dr Joe Yap. He has promised to give his best and reminded me to inform all of you to invite your family members and friends to come and enjoy the food as well as the meeting / fellowship. You know he likes to do things differently, so come for that surprise too.
5. You are still looking for more reasons to make up your mind to attend the meeting? Well, what other clubs offer what Tawau Toastmasters Club could offer?
So come and join us this 10th December 2007, 7.15pm at Grace Inn Conference Hall. Dinner will be served before meeting commences.
By the way, Rosslin will be preparing the Programme Elements this time, so please contact her for your roles and assignments, if you have not done so, ok?
Regards,
Chye EweTM Tawau
