I have been watching my StatPress statistics in my WordPress dashboard since mid month with great interest. Since first installing the plugin a few months back, it has given me a pretty good idea on the number of unique hits I have been getting on all my blogs including most popular posts, referring sites, geographical locations, types of browsers used to view my blog, screen resolution size down ...

It's been a dramatic week on Wall Street and the Dow Jones Index took a big hit recording as much as a 500 points slide in one of the worst trading week in the last 3 months. One of the culprits was obviously the surge in oil prices. Losing 4% of it's total value is no joke especially so for the blue chip index. Somehow, I get ...

In yesterday's post, oil was at USD133 per barrel. In less than 24 hours, oil is now at USD135 per barrel. Analyst have said this and that about oil prices and what not.

It just won't stop going up. In the past weeks, Wall Street had a couple of days where the dollar strengthened and traders saw gains on the major indices. On such days, oil prices dipped but only to return higher on the next day. At US$126 per barrel, crude oil is once again at it's record highest till date. As a result of other economic factors, I ...

For almost 2 weeks now, Google has updated PageRanks of sites. The first time I saw the new PR, I thought maybe Google was just fooling with me. After 2 weeks, NicholasMOng.com is still on PR5 so that is good news. It took me less than 2 months to reach PR2 when I started this blog.
