Here Comes the New President of United States
Whoever the author of Yimmys Yayo is, he’s a genius. I don’t know if he drew the cartoon below. Anyway, it’s thought-provoking.

Since Obama has made the first step, which means history has been rewritten. I start looking forward to the first female President now.

Domain Name Reconstruction and Title Change
I’m not so satisfied to run 2 blog under one domain name, which means I have to use sub-domain or sub-directory. So I got a new domain infia.org today and assigned it to my other blog in Chinese. This way I got ralphdunn.com pointing back to this blog again, which was great. The only drawback is, the connection between these 2 blogs doesn’t seem to be that tense anymore.Also, I changed the title used for half a year. No particular reason, I just need something fresh. Do you like the word “ralify”? ^^
Hope GoDaddy gets unblocked soon. It sucks that I can’t connect to the homepage directly.

Where do we go from here?
It’s been nearly 2 years since the foundation of this blog. I barely knew nothing about blog, rss feed, or even WordPress at that time. All I knew was to share some metal music with you metalheads. ^^
Decision
I kept doing so for some time until I went back to college for my graduate study. Because at the mean time, wordpress.com was unreachable. The situation doesn’t seem to get any better nowadays. So I have no choice but to give it up.Acknowledgment
It’s never easy to make a decision like this, for I’m really touched by you guys. Even this blog was updated only once in a year, I’ve still got approximately a hundred subscribers. Oh, there were someone wanted to contribute to my sharing project here too, Sol Niger, Earl, thanks. And thank you all, metal lives forever!Blueprint
And now, here comes the question: where should I go from here? The project can’t go anywhere since I’m not able to update this blog normally. Fortunately, I bought my own domain name not long ago, and I’m trying to resume the sharing project there. URL: http://dengkefu.com/blog
Since it’s new, there are not many posts yet, but I’m going to add more, and open a whole section on metal music there.Future
Also, I have a plan. I hope some of you can help me with the whole sharing project. Try to be more than a subscriber, be a contributor! Here’s how: simply sign up on my new weblog ralphdunn.com and I’ll promote your account role to contributor. Then you’ll be able to submit post there.
I know, I know, it’s not profitable and seldom people would like to do that. But I still have the faith that there were someone like me, willing to share what he/she likes. All they need is a platform to do so. Although this plan may not be mature, I prefer giving it a shot.
Any questions about the plan or how to use WordPress, feel free to contact me via “ralphdunn at gmail dot com”Note: This article was imported from my other blog “Metal Union”, so there may be inconsistency in it.

Truth Inside – About the Popularity of a Post
Update: Originally, I uploaded the leading image to TinyPic. It seems that the rules there are so strict and my picture got eliminated soon. Yep, it is a sexy one; No, no nudes in it. And now, I have to upload a new one for substitution. Hope this time it will work.
I noticed that the most popular post in my blog is the one titled “Line of Beauty and Grace“, whose popularity index showed by “popularity contest” is 100%! This is luciferous because the algorithm of the plugin “popularity contest” is, the earlier the article was posted, the lower the popularity.
I started to think why such a post could draw the visitors’ attention way more the others. When I reviewed this post, it took me only seconds to figure out why, that’s all because of the key words in it. Let’s take a look at them: sex, naked… Although this post is not about porn or sexuality, those words do come between the lines.
This is an interesting phenomena, which reminds of another common case that, the top articles in every picture or download-themed website are always those with “hot” titles or contents. I’m not blaming on anyone here, I just find it funny. This reveals the truth about the whole Internet, which is, sex comes first, and everything else is left far behind.
So much for my murmur here, and I’m just wondering whether this post will be popular, or not. By the way, I hope you like the title image with this article in the home page. ^^

Special Photos from Yimmys Yayo
I found this interesting photolog all by accident. It is recommended by GoogleReader, and I have to say GR does know me. ^^
Below are some samples:
- Have you any neighbor like this one? I’m laughing out loud at it actually.
- I love his beard and tattoo.
- Simple is beautiful.
- Sometimes, riding a bike along the river could be dangerous…
- Clouds or water?
- I bet he was watching a hell of game there.
- And more… I have to confess that I omitted some sexual photos intentionally. If you’re interested, visit the special photolog here.

Cheers! WyntonMagazine
Here I am again. It’s been a few days since I left. Too much personal affairs to deal with.
However, there’s something I’ve done which can’t be ignored. Yep, I’ve changed the theme for the 3rd time… All of them are amazing, but I just like this one better. The only problem is, you need more time to configure such a theme to make it work the way you want.
Michael, a gifted and productive designer, I’ve got nothing else to say to you but thanks. You’ve been doing great jobs all the time. To be honest, Branford is as excellent as Wynton. Since you’ve got the same taste as mine (Hemingway is an evidence), I would give you all my beautiful words in vocabulary: amazing, incredible, fabulous, etc. Oh, I almost forgot, I already did that days ago. ^^
For those who need further information about Michael’s work, check his website here, BranfordMagazine here and WyntonMagazine here. Besides, the tutorials of how to use these themes properly are also provided.
