Blogspot Labels

I was looking high and low for methods to categorized my topics and came across some tutorial on how to create categories by using some scripts or methods in BlogSpot. Some people even calls it hacking BlogSpot to create custom categories. I wouldn't call it hacking cause Google should have created such function in the beginning. It is like a holy grail in blogging cause your blogs would get messy and i mean seriously messy if there is no categories.

Anyways, as i said, i was looking for such function in BlogSpot and couldn't find such function to enable the categories. So i turn to Google search engine to look for tutorial or way to turn on categories. I came across many scripts, but was a bit too complicated to implement it. Then i saw this in delicious2blogger blog

I was like, *GASP*, there was such function in BlogSpot? Needless to say, i checked it out and it was there and now my blog have categories. Wasted 2 hours for nothing and now i need to re-tag all the labels

First post

Well, what can i say? The first post of the blog. I guess i should just explain why did i choose the name and the direction and focus this blog is heading.

Okay first the name, why did i choose this name? Well, actually, i have no idea, it just came up at the moment. I wanted a name that would not restrict my topics and a cool name, i.e. something with a big 'X' somewhere in the name. So in the end, i came up with the name 'XponentialFactor' (don't ask me why i choose this name).

Okay, now onto the direction and focus of this blog. Well, there isnt a focus or direction that i am aiming for, it will be more of something that i came across and would want to write about it. So it is sort of, anything goes.

You would be asking, why out of the sudden i would want to start a blog? Many reasons i guess. First of all, i want to see what is the big 'Hoo-Haa' about blogging. Never could understand why people would allocate 1 - 2 hours each day just to write some ramble in their blog (i am not a big fan of blogging as you can see). Secondly, i would want to improve my command of english. With all the messaging software like MSN and such, my english is kinda screwy with all those short hand writings. Also i haven't been writing a proper essay or document since my college years.

There are many other reasons that i could think of, but i am not going to keep rambling about it or this first post will never end. So in the end, i hope that you would enjoy reading my blog and there is something for everybody here.
