New geekTips Layout

Nov 28 2008 / 7:02 pm Was written by geekTips No Comment Yet

Yay! Finally I have a spare time to update geekTips again. Well, not just updating but I also managed to migrate geekTips from Drupal to WordPress and also re-aligned the layout and I’m very pleased with the results.

I haven’t updated the site since July (gosh, such a long time). The main reason is because I was busy with my daily job and hard to find time to wrote again for geekTips. I hope in the future I can write and share many great things on the site in my spare time. Cheers!
