How Konektado.com Ning site was created TUTORIAL

07/30/2010 by Reina Lyn Ben 1 Comment

http://konektado.com

Ning.com seems to be a hot trend these days. I’ve been receiving messages/questions on facebook on how I configured Konektado.com, especially the Channel Menu section, how I created those links along with images (courtesy of ASH Brand Clothing) to emphasize the Channel Menu buttons. This tutorial assumes you know basic HTML and your way around Ning.com. First part, I will show you “How to create your custom vertical menu side bar on Ning” and second is, “Customizing the appearance”.

How to create your custom vertical menu side bar on Ning

Along with video, forum, blog, etc component, Ning.com also provides a Text Box where you can input customize text and images, it also supports HTML/CSS language, through this, you will be able to create your custom vertical menu.

Using the HTML table tag, this will allow you to format your images and link them to the page you created within Ning.com or link them to an external page/website. :) Make sure to upload your button images to another web server (ex. Flickr.com, Google.com, etc) and link them on image source <img src=”"> tag.

text box

Customizing the appearance

For the appearance, this depends on your preference or concept. I can’t really teach you a certain design, but I can provide online material as a foundation, a few walk around Ning.com’s Appearance page and use Konektado.com as an example. A reference I often use is http://www.w3schools.com, I refer to this when I forget an HTML or CSS tag code, it also lets you test their sample code within the Example box.

Ning.com's Appearance page

With Konektado.com, I used a plain design template called HyperMelon since the concept is simple and corporate. Color contrast and banner is also a major element that needs to be studied well when designing a website. By mixing the right hues (for konektado.com, I used red, white, black) and creating a stunning banner (design a banner thats eye-catching), your website can gain tons of viewers. Also, keeping your frontpage with minimal information organized in sections can be easily accessible.

Another trick I did to minimize informations on Ning’s frontpage is by removing the About section located below the Ads. Inserting the code on the image removes the About section.

CSS code to remove About section

So, this is my first tutorial and obviously, its just an overview explanation of how I designed konektado.com. If you have any questions for a detailed instructions, feel free to message me and I’ll post another entry. Thanks!!!

Eyyo Check Day 3

07/30/2010 by Reina Lyn Ben 1 Comment

Eyyo Check is a series of rhymes I do daily, trying to condition my mind for writing again and hopefully, freestyle in the future.

I do this by thinking of words quickly and writing it down with sentence impromptu.

for all my life i’ve been bounded by reality
its hard to see what i’ve become to be
like entity hidden in secrets i’ve been often be
but still i push myself to the limit
coz i see it, the tunnel i’ve wanting to free in
light shed upon me, God told me am gifted
i sniffed and cried coz i feel a burden has been lifted
i see my family, love one, and its all vivid
crew, friends, and everybody who was ridin’
like what drake said, i’m with it if ya’ll with it
its been a long low high road but still am standing
like the woman am suppose to be am
i held my breath and said i’ll never be afraid again
eyyo coz i don’t wanna be stuck in a dream
living in what ifs and they never believing
eyyo its crazy how life alter situations
its amazing god has story for individuals
beyond the physical its a spiritual feeling
big brother lookin down upon us like we children
like harry potter and that magic cauldroun
its a magical world throw your wands up in the air
like disney classical, we forever young’n
eyyo
outerspace, floating in a zero gravity
my rhymes i try to bring clasrity
by makin it heavy but gets you highly steady
imprinting it vividly in your head like halle barry’s body
detailed its physique, its all imaginative
i’ve never imagine, am grown but creative
i guess next time imma pass it
to my young’ns wanting to have it

Eyyo Check Day2

07/29/2010 by Reina Lyn Ben Leave a Comment

Eyyo Check is a series of rhymes I do daily, trying to condition my mind for writing again and hopefully, freestyle in the future.

I do this by thinking of words quickly and writing it down with sentence impromptu.

Eyyo
Am in line to my room, got done with breakfast
tryna solve some math, hoping i can pass this class
seats cold as heaven, its seven, to early for a lesson
small people yappin, laughin, be all out actin
that shit dont bother me, feelin like i won the lottery
today was steady, but heavy, fresh like a new born baby
god blessed me, to see things beyond the ordinary
never thought of freestyle, coz i write legibly
make it look easy, like models lookin breezy
its a chance given, to explore another meaning
listen, this shits above the level i was dealin
eyyo check
watchin 8mile, tryna get inspire
the root of my style, with rhymes i dont tire
grow old but stay mentality young
sanity on, is like a laminated drum
never happened, coz everybody got imagination
strung the string and rock, stomp the stage and hulk
incredibly, give the people what they came to see
originality, spit it vividly, takes courage of ability
eyyo
am back at my dorm, not feelin so alone
coz am in my zone, all day am doin it on my own
gettin my femcee on, eyebrows meet between my forehead
so its set, no bed time yet, i rhyme and hustle the web
eyyo check
goodnight to all, the night is long
as long as the stars twinkle, theres always hope
peace

Eyyo Check Day1

07/29/2010 by Reina Lyn Ben Leave a Comment

Eyyo Check is a series of rhymes I do daily, trying to condition my mind for writing again and hopefully, freestyle in the future.

I do this by thinking of words quickly and writing it down with sentence impromptu.

eyyo check
i feel the breeze of wind
brushing through my mouth and chin
telling me to swift and speak
every drip of words i think
mental block a lock, keeps my swag on shook
i close my eyes and look for proof
the truth through which i can improve
i lose myself to test what i can do
school by fools who think they knew
believe to achieve what you’ll pursue
eyyo check
i rhyme ill like my words kill bill
i spit shit real, unlike those fake diamond grills
rented cadillacs, tryna be a daddy mack
got a milli in the bank or play money in a sack
frontin like you know it all, lucky coz you ballin
backstabbers on the call, watch out who you ringin
singin on a track coz you lost your train of thought
lemme ring the horn and get you in my fuckin zone
eyyo check
i never thought i could spit like this
am so high and i ain’t even smokin weed
a natural ability, so green and so fresh
like organic veggies, i fill your mind with zest
eyyo check
my lines are clear like purified drinkin water
but they can kill like a house of slaughter
i bottle my emotions, attempt to open it
it pours like ondoy’s reign, its very damagin
am not average, i go hard, heavy as a rock
they call me mc lyte, guys watch even some of the girls jock

Local installation issue on Magento 1.4 – Cookie Issue

07/24/2010 by Reina Lyn Ben 2 Comments

Ok, so it was tough installing Magento locally on a MAMP server. The problem is on Configuration section, I can’t seem to go further into next step when I clicked on Continue. I was able to solve this by following the instruction on this blog.

http://azgtech.wordpress.com/2010/02/27/magento-1-4-local-installation-admin-login-cookie-issue-fixed/

This works in 1.4 version, latest and current version of Magento.

search for “// session cookie params” line in app\code\core\Mage\Core\Model\Session\Abstract\Varien.php

change

$cookieParams = array(
‘lifetime’ => $cookie->getLifetime(),
‘path’ => $cookie->getPath(),
‘domain’ => $cookie->getConfigDomain(),
‘cookieParams’ => $cookie->isSecure(),
‘httponly’ => $cookie->getHttponly()
);

to

$cookieParams = array(
‘lifetime’ => $cookie->getLifetime(),
‘path’ => $cookie->getPath()
);

and comment the below mentioned code
line number 86, in my file

/* if (!$cookieParams['httponly']) {
unset($cookieParams['httponly']);
if (!$cookieParams['secure']) {
unset($cookieParams['secure']);
if (!$cookieParams['domain']) {
unset($cookieParams['domain']);
}
}
}

if (isset($cookieParams['domain'])) {
$cookieParams['domain'] = $cookie->getDomain();
}
*/
now refresh your browser and continue installation, then log in unto the backend, it will work

Throwback!!.. a few tracks I did years ago!!

07/24/2010 by Reina Lyn Ben Leave a Comment

01. RLyn – You Know Me ft. Baby J, Gee-Q – off the album Project iLLDEF Compilation

02. Bagetsafonik – Song for the Sunlight ft. RLyn, Caliph8 – off the album Travel Agents: Bagetsafonik Travelogue Detours

03. RLyn – Disco Inferno Gurl (DJ Vanhorn Reggaeton Remix)

These are just a few tracks I did when I was young, feel free to listen and download. Meanwhile, am workin on a mixtape containing throwback tracks (which will also include these) and new ones, collaborating with some newcomers. Mixtape will be entitled “Lost”. So why “Lost”?!?, I’ve been gone a couple of years, starting 2005 with my last rhymes “Bad Gurl This, Bad Gurl That”, and just recently, I’ve been going out again, regaining the spirit of hip hop. The gap between 2005 and 2010, I was LOST. New tracks will convey how I recoup my dignity. “I was a young dreamer, but then… I need to cope with reality…”

Finest Joomla! Templates

07/24/2010 by Reina Lyn Ben 17 Comments

I’ve been using Joomla! for quite sometime now and I find it very functional and aesthetically pleasing, probably because of it MVC framework and numerous useful extensions from joomla.com. For some reason, I find this CMS technology inline with Magento, and other companies like Apple, Google, and Adobe. After testing a few templates from various template businesses, joomlart.com templates fits my layout and design needs. Unlike other business templates, I notice joomlart.com strongly follows w3school.com’s web standard attributes of web designing along with web 2.0 trend. What I like most is how they choose the colors, it contrast between the background and foreground color. Anyways, checkout their website Joomlart.com and judge their designs for yourself.

am still here.. :)

05/21/2010 by Reina Lyn Ben 2 Comments

so its been awhile, i’ve been really busy this summer, even though i just stayed here at EGI dorm, I had a bunch of activities going on simultaneously. Not only that, am starting to see the bigger picture, the question thats been bugging me, and finally this summer i was able to find the answer. :) .. Ofcourse, i could have not done it without the help of few people who stayed regardless of my low energy “emo” attitude i had for the past 4yrs, and am really thankful i met them. (^^,).. and now i can officially say, I’ve broken that barrier in my life thats been keeping me from the things i wanted to achieve.. :) ..

so lately, activities i’ve been engaging to are websites.. i’ve been doing konektadoTV version 2 for Mike Swift. through this i was able to apply the IS & business system books/articles i’ve read when i was in vegas. am applying business here, don’t get me wrong, i still and will always have madd respect for the art “hip hop”. not only am i doing websites, i’ve been also going out, attending Mike’s events, just trying to expose myself and get myself use to meeting new people. am also planning to go back to music, and yea, i’ve been doing a few collaborations and yea, I did a track with Mike Swift and them about hip hop revolution.. chyeaaa.. this is my root and it was such a relief composing those rhymes.. i’ve also been working out, jogging at roxas blvd and boxing at elorde gym. hehe.. just trying to be energetic and lose a lil weight.. :) ..

well, more things to come.. after summer, expect more changes with RLynOnline.com..
