Wordpress team has just announced Wordpress 2.2 “Getz” released about 5 hours ago at the time of writing. The name Getz was given to the version 2.2 to honour tenor saxophonist Stan Getz. The development team has done a good job for deliver the updates with more than 200 bug fixed and some new features in well under 4 month (which is their standard goal of a major release).

Here’s some great new features lined up in this release:

* A new set of WordPress-specific XML-RPC APIs that allow for editing pages, setting categories, and much more.
* We now use jQuery for a number of internal functions, and hope to transition all of our JS to use it. (Wordpress team still need volunteers for this.)
* Comment feeds now support multiple formats, including Atom.
* Internal mail functions now use phpMailer, which allows for things like SMTP support.
* Able to set database collation and character set in your config file.
* Able to to hardcode your site and WP URL in the config file, overriding the values in the DB.
* Increased the inline documentation of a number of functions inside of WP, which should help you navigate those parts of the code.

Blogging was initially a way for me to write up happenings in my life. As time goes by, I realised that blogging can be a way for one to earn residual income apart from getting the usual monthly pay check from boss.

I started seriously thinking about using blogs to created a networks of blogs to generate my 2nd, 3rd, 4th and hopefully endless streams of incomes online. Well, I know. It’s easier said than done. I need to put in a lot of effort and time to get the ideas in my mind into projects before it can be realised. Nevertheless, I always believe in putting in consistent effort and focus into the things I do will one day reap the benefits I set out in the beginning.

Hence, I went around searching and reading tons of blogs out there teaching and sharing their experience in being successful making money online. I’m a Malaysian. Naturally, I’ll be inclined to believe what a fellow Malaysian has to say about in this area.

One day last year, I stumbled upon Gobala Krishnan’s blog. Many of the things he wrote about could connect with me as what he went through is somewhat similar to mine. I believe as I’m planning and working my ways to achieve my goals online.

Well, GobalaKrishnan.com is a blog that helps you start your own Internet home business. He shares about his ideas and experience in internet marketing in his blog. I gain a lot from his articles.

Gobala is doing a project to link up to as my sites or blogs as possible for his blog.

If you review his blog, he’ll link back to you and send you a ton of traffic. I’ve done it and has since gotten a lot of new traffic.

What are you waiting for? Do a review for him now.
