Paypal – What Is That?
Jun 30th
This is one of episode in Blogging For Beginner.
Paypal is a payment processor for transaction online. ?It is not a bank. ?It is the most popular payment processor used world wide for example in the biggest auction site on internet, ebay.
While becoming the most popular, it is a heavy responsible for paypal to make their site as secure as possible.
But be as secure as possible means, they will become very fussy, and this turns off many people. ?Especially seller, or merchant. ?But they don’t have a choice, but to use what their customer want to pay with.
Yes, paypal buyer’s protection policy is very high to standard.
We can just open a dispute and chargeback our money if we find that the seller is dishonest.
But this system also have it cons.
Nowadays, the scammers are among the buyers.
They dispute even they have the item.
And the seller who don’t have tracking number with them are easily cheated, scammed, and paypal are behind these scam artist because the seller don’t have prove that the item have arrive at the buyer’s place.
But, we can overcome that problems by following the standard like providing tracking number, etc.
The Importance of Debit Card
Jun 26th
This is one of episode in?Blogging For Beginner.
A debit card functions are almost similar with a credit cards. ?We can use them for shopping at the shopping mall or even shopping on the internet from the comfort of our home or office.
The differences are, we must deposit an amount of money inside our debit card account before we can start spending it, meaning, we pay first and spend it later. ?While credit card, we spend first and pay later. ?We can use the credit card anyhow we want but not exeeding the credit limit that have been setup for us. ?At the end of the month, we will get monthly statement and bill to pay. ?Beside that, applying for a debit card is much more easier than a credit card. ?For example, Public Bank Berhad allow individuals above 12 years old to apply a debit?card under their own name without any hassle. ?While for credit card, we must 18 above and have a good credit score with income at least RM 1,500.00 per month which is NOT possible for a 12 years old to have it under their own name.
As an internet marketeer, we should, and we MUST have paypal account for recieving and sending money. ?To create paypal account, we need a credit card or a debit card to verify our identity. ?Paypal is an almost secure payment processor and the most popular too. ?So we have no choice but follow the popurarity for our convenient.

Get Latest Update From Your Favourite Blog
Jun 15th
Have you ever found a website with good content that are worth spending time to read it, and you feel that you don’t want to miss their next post from now on?
I do.
If you do, I bet if there’s email subscription form on their blog you will fill your email and click “Subscribe”.
Well, how if they don’t have it?
Lame isn’t it?
The truth is there are still so many bloggers with good content do not take email subscription as an important element in their blog.
For the bloggers, what you can do now is go to Feedburner, burn your feed and start your email subscription service!
While for readers? ?It is not very polite to “order” the blogmaster to do so unless they are close to you. ?Worst, they ignore your good suggestion.
So, this is how we can do to get email subscription for ourself.

I Can’t Recent Video Plugin
Jun 14th
Just recently, I tried to make a plugin that shows latest video that inserted into custom field.
I am using the code below to grab the value of the assigned custom key.
<?php $video = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Video', true); ?>
But when it attached to dynamic area, it can’t grab the key value.
But when I directly paste the code on home.php, it works!
