LiewCF.com

Time flies. I have been blogging here — liewcf.com for 6 years. The first blog post was published at March 8th, 2004.

I started blogging earlier on another domain but moved to this “liewcf.com” in 2004.

6 years.. never expected I could stick to this site for such a long time… it has even become my job (well, I’m a full-time blogger!) and part of my life now.

What’s the best thing I can give to this site? A new look (web design)! (Aiseh… it has been talking about for YEARS! *forehead slap*)

What else can I do to improve this site?

According to Feedburner’s feed stats, my tech blog, LiewCF.com, now has over 7000 feed subscribers! A new milestone!

But, how many are real feed readers?

Although I have over 7000 feed subscribers, but there is merely 400 reach for the feed. “Reach” means the total number of people who have viewed or clicked on the feed content.

60% of my feed subscribers are from FriendFeed and Google Feedfetcher (email, google reader & iGoogle). I think most of them are not active subscribers.

What is your feed stats? How many feed subscribers you have? and how many “reach”?

I’m Liew Cheon Fong (a.k.a LiewCF). I just passed my 29th birthday at August 19, 2009. September 9, 2009 (09/09/09) is my 4th anniversary of full-time blogging.

My life does not change much after 1st anniversary of full-time blogging.

Every month, I still get money from multiple Internet income sources. I have free time and money to travel at anytime (went to China, Japan, Taiwan this year alone).

I’m no longer taking public bus because I bought the Honda City 2009 (but still take express bus to KL because of the high toll fees and petrol fee)

I have monthly investments in unit trust funds. Am a Gold member of Public Mutual. My latest funds report shows that I have yet to profit from my funds (blame the economic crisis!).

I do not own a property yet. Buying a property is like getting a girlfriend, it is not easy to find the right one and it is a long-term commitment.

A personal good news is that I am now in a relationship. YES, after being single for years, LiewCF finally got a girlfriend!

*hooray!* *claps! claps!*

(No, you won’t see her photo here. )

Health is important, especially for someone who work at home. Chances are you would have less exercise and sitting in front computer or TV most of the time.

My body weight is increasing year by year ever since I became a full-time blogger. No more! Started 3 months ago, I joined a local gym club with a friend and have been actively going for gym workouts almost daily!

Till now, I have successfully lose 5KG+ and have a better body shape (read: bigger chest & arms). *grin*

September 9th, 2008 is the 3rd anniversary of my full-time blogging since 2005.

Wow! 3 years have passed! I still remember the last day of my previous job. Coincidentally, I just met my ex-manager 2 days ago! And, an ex colleague’s boyfriend added me as friend on Flickr.

In the past year, LiewCF.com has the 1st 3,000th feed subscriber, published the 3,000th blog post, and accepted in 9rules Network.

For myself, nothing much have changed since the 2nd anniversary, I am still single and available, and have not bought a car nor a house.

Oh! I gave my first public talk at the Webmaster Malaysia Gathering.

Frankly speaking, I am not a very ambitions guy who has big dreams. I am very much satisfied with my current life (that I forgot to make a birthday wish) and income.

But we need to prepare the worst, therefore I must have a Plan B. I am thinking how I can be more helpful to other people and what I can do about it using my skills. What do you think?
