I tried all the recommendations provided in the Installation Guide but nothing works.  But after much effort in exploring, I finally managed to solve the icon issue by replicating the .akst_share_link class into my style sheet, style.css, as follows:

.akst_share_link{
 background: 1px 0 url(images/share-icon-16×16.gif) no-repeat;
 padding: 1px 0 3px 22px;
}

The above class can also be found in the share-this.php but because Share This allows this class to be defined externally, I am able to do this.

The other problem was a little more tricky, i.e. the Share This pop-up window did not appear when I click on the Share This icon instead it was loaded in a new page.  I had spent more time trying to resolve this.

The installation guide only mentioned that it is a known limitation of Share This that it requires the wp_foot() call for the pop-up window to work.  However, I also traced down that it also require the wp_head() call; my theme does not have both the wp_header() and wp_foot() call.  This is what I did, I put the <?php wp_head(); ?> in my header.php before the </head> end tag and <?php wp_footer(); ?> in my footer.php before the </body> end tag.

Hope the above, which works for me, is helpful to friends who face the same problem.  However, for more detail about installation, please refer to the Installation Guide by Alex.

In my previous post I mentioned that I do not know what to write and every time I go into my blog I get stuck! After much soul searching and thinking I have come to a conclusion that it is because I do not have an objective for my blog, focus and I do not know what I want and what my dreams are!

In order for my blog to progress better and faster, I have decided that I should first pen my thoughts on paper before transferring it to my blog. This may sound like double effort but double effort is better than no effort in regularly updating my blog. This also has another advantage – it allows me time to think and visualise what I want to say!

Are you also in the same situation as I? Do you also first pen your thoughts on a piece of paper before transferring it to your blog?

Coming back to focus and dreams, I was at a seminar a few days ago and one of the main speakers was sharing his 7 strategies for 7 digit income and what come on top of the list was DREAMS!

Dreams are important and it is dream that motivate and drive us to success! Without dreams is like a car without the steering wheel – you will not be able to get it to bring to your destination.

All of us have dreams, whether big or small, but most of the time our dreams diminishes and often vanishes as we grow and become deeply involved in the reality of everyday life.

Why does dream diminishes or vanishes as we grow? I had never given it a second thought, ‘It’s part of growing up,’ I would say if somebody asked. But eventually, after having attended self development courses and seminars, and much thinking, I realised that, through personal encounters, the reasons why dreams diminishes or vanishes were many. When we were a young individual many of us were told when we were young that dreams are just dreams and they are not able to support our life. ‘Study and specialise in a course that allows you to get a good paying job easily!’ most parents would have said. One of the other reasons is that we are so caught up with the reality of everyday life of working hard for somebody else business so that we can bring home a nice decent cheque that we have forgotten our dreams and to dream new dreams!

Are you also in the same situation as I? Where dreams were forgotten and new ones did not come forth?

 ‘If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.’ – Henry David Thoreau (1817 – 1862)

What is my specialty? What can I write about when so many people in the Internet is already talking about the topics that I want to talk about? What can I provide more value in my blog so that people coming in to read can benefit from it?

I have created this blog to talk about Internet Marketing and to make it a journal that record my progress in this arena.

If you have gone through my archive you would have noticed that my blog was only started in June 07 but I have not updated it regularly thus you will probably not able to find my blog in any of the search engine.

One of the reasons why I have not been regular at updating is that I do not know what to talk about. Are you also new to blogging and Internet Marketing? Are you also in the same situation as I am looking for topics to talk about?

Many of the courses, seminars that I had attended, books that I read all mentioned that blogging is one of the most effective ways of generating traffic, and it is FREE! But what should I write that will attract people to come and read my blog regularly?

I had earlier touched on topics like self-development, the importance of knowledge and literacy, and surviving Internet Marketing, but are these enough?

I have also read other people’s blogs, apart from those that touch on their personal experience, there are so many that talk about Internet marketing, motivation, self-enrichment, books reviews, product reviews, and the list goes on.

What can I write about so that people will be interested in my blog?

I like to travel, I like Chinese Opera, I like talking pictures but should I be talking about this when these have no relation in anyway to the product that I am marketing in the Internet?

My list of queries will go on and on, are you also in the same situation as I am?

While I am writing this, I am slowly formulating my strategy for my blog. Till we meet again the Next Time!
