The article was written 2 days ago on February 28, but I have known only about it just this day. Thanks to Internet marketing guru Jomar Hilario who posted it to my Hakuna Matata! Facebook page wall.
(No, we’re not related. I have not even met the man.)
Anyway, the article I was referring to is the one written by pinoymoneytalk titled “The 50 Top-Ranked Blogs in the Philippines“.
The big deal? This site is ranked #19 on that list. Yippee!
Last August 4, 2009, I changed this site’s header to a smaller one since the old one pretty much occupied around a third of my site’s space.
Almost a year later today, I decided to make a new one for the second time.
The old one is consuming a great amount of my bandwidth and contributes to my site’s slow loading due to its large file size.
Ever since this site was born on February 6, 2009, I have been using an image of an ark carrying various words instead of animals as header. Pumbaa and Timon are also in the driver’s seat instead of Noah.
If you ever wondered what the image means, well…
… the ark represents me, my name is Ark of course…
… the various words represent my worry-free thoughts…
… and Timon and Pumbaa are there because from them came the famous African phrase “Hakuna Matata!” from the movie The Lion King, which happens to be my motto by the way. Hakuna Matata! simply means “No Worries!” It’s written all over the rainbow if you have not noticed. 
So after almost 6 months, I decided to change my header.
Finally!
One year and 9 months since my first ever blog, I’m glad to have my own domain name at last.
This is already the third iteration of My Ark Full of Worry-Free Thoughts and this time, I’m making it in my own dot com website. Check out the About This Site page to see the progression of this site.
While my previous two sites especially the one hosted by i.ph are pretty much cool, one disappointment I have over them is that there are limitations to what I can do. Having now my own domain name allowed me to have more control over the contents and especially the layout of my site. But I never thought that it will be difficult. In fact, it has taken me 6 days after I installed WordPress at my host’s server before I was able to make this first post.
