I tried to be civilized but I guess I expected too much. From now on, I, May Hnin Phyu, hereby swear that I shall NEVER EVER mention anything about mmbloggers anymore.

Thank you all for your CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACKS.
The post is CLOSED now.

@everyone
I think we have all made our points very well. And it has been noted by parties concerned. I guess it is time to stop now, we dont’ want to get feeling hurt more than it has already.

Where is their originality? It’s somewhere else.

Btw, even you didn’t change the WordPress theme and color.

Cheers!

And my replies
Very interesting points my dear brother and I appreciate it a lot. That’s rite I might have picked the wrong wording to express my views. I’m so use to say things openly here and never got a comment back for my use of words yet (I mean from non-Burmese). I guess it’s language problem too. The effect of English language is very different from mother tongue language. Although the meaning might be the same, due to the use of foreign language which people aren’t familiar much, the true meaning might deeply altered.

About the black template, my whole point of mentioning about it is that, out of 30 free blogger templates available in blogger admin, why only this template? Ok so everyone love black. I’ve mentioned it before and I’m going to mention it again, I LOVE BLACK too. More than half of the cloths I have are blacks. My hair black, my eyes black, my skin black, my laptop bag black, my pens black, my books/diary black, my table black, many many black things I love about.
People lost the whole point of encouraging them to test out other templates and instead they think I’m critising about their choice of color. I’m not telling them not to use that template but have they try/test out others options yet, is the question.

That point of using only black template leads to my another point about increase in copycats. Don’t you ever notice that every single new mm blogger have exact same display as KoNLS blog? The color, the buttons, the links, sometimes even those delicious tags directly from NLS. Isn’t it some what astonishing? I mean for me as fellow blogger, I very much like to see lots of varieties and I always wonder why…why are they exactly the same every single time? Ok may be they are new so it’s easy for them to just copy, that’s fine. But what about others? Others who are already over the stage of newbie? Do they ever plan to move on a little farther or are they going to stay forever as newbie?

Now those comments about me being bossy and being too much technical comes in here. I think they hardly ever read my posts properly before. Every single time, I wrote about some technical articles or latest tech news or anything at all, I always mention in the post that “I’m sure some of you have already heard/know about it, but for those who don’t, can make use of it…etc” I have never in my life put myself as “senior” or “I-Know-It-All” or “me the best” or “Hey everyone, follow me, do as I say” kind of craps. I only suggest the options, I do not force anyone, I welcome others suggestions and opinion.

The more critics I got from others, the more I learn about different views and ways of looking at things. That is called effective knowledge exchange. Being able to take other people critisms and turn them into useful, productive way is the best quality a man should have. As for me, I’m fine, spit at me, swear at me, piss at me, as you wish, I’m listening you, I’m thinking over your actions, I’m absorbing your points, and I’m give a work for my brain to decide over best solution and finally I’m turning your horrible critics into something useful for myself and later I’ll be thanking you for showing me the different way of looking at things. I sincerely hope others would take a bit of time to think and see if they be able to turn critics into something useful.

Ok now moving on to generalization, yes I generalize things. I generalize things over current/present facts. As the word “generalization” itself mean just averaging thing, taking overviews or briefs on overall cluster. They should not/need not be accurate. In my line of work, I need to do lots of generalizations over project plans and time frames. Am I wrong to guess/generalize thing? I’m sure everyone generalizes over things once in their life at least.

About bandwidth thefts, intellectual property rights and personal matters, you have agree on those and koNLS explained a lot already so I need not stress on that.

The point on Burmese adaptive nature, you must at least notice that we don’t take things easily, we don’t change things easily, we don’t take blame easily, we don’t admit things easily, so on and on. We take things slow, we move on slow, we change things slow…hence, I’m generalizing myself again, we adapt with our environment/surrounding changes slowly. You are right, there are lots of races and societies that I don’t know of. I do not know how they adapting new things but my generalization is based upon my present society ie. Fiji multi-racial background and my current career industry ie. Very fast growing IT industry, I must say, people here must/are adapting new things pretty fast. But then again these are just my incompetence generalizations.

You are very right; we have very different systems and societies. Here, even 5year old kids and street beggars have the right to talk back to the Prime Minister and he cannot arrest/harm them a single bit. I fully understand the differences. I’m not scolding or mocking anyone and the whole intention is to show the differences but the question is people willing to see those differences? Are they willing to open their eyes?

Again you are right, mmbloggers have very limited resources. Expensive internet fees, limited facilities, limited knowledge on latest technologies etc and we can never compare with those of other countries. Here comes in my main point; with those limited resources, what are they planning to do? Lots of mmbloggers complaints that they have to pay for expensive internet with crappy speed and trying their best to blog what they like. That’s very good actually, for they have lots of dedication and hard work to actually do what they like doing. I’m really impressed about it. Ok now, while following their own dreams with that much of limited resources, won’t it be better, their dedication, affords and times are spend in a manner in which improves their personal enjoyment as well as personal productivity? Or are they only wasting lots of time and money for simple enjoyment pleasures? Yes I know, you will say, that’s not my business what/how they do with their time and money. But then again, in your points you have asked me to help them change their habits so am I not doing so in my points? Are they not seeing or getting my points? Or are they just too afraid to open their eyes?

I have written good means and suggestions about blogging and design matters in the past. Yes I remember that post about 90 style sites and 10 web design mistakes. And Yes, I still remember how offensively they have taken my good will and foolishly turn it against themselves. I have tried so hard to tell them in the best way I can, but I know as human beings, nobody has the same intake. Some take things in positive ways and others in negative manner. So yes, again I’m going back to my very first sentence about language barrier. I write things seriously yet I joke around sometimes. I believe a little humor wouldn’t hurt, such as the words “copy-cat” and “crying-babies” are a childish way of playing around/arousing people feelings.
Over here, we say like “copy-cat, kiss a rat..”, “Oh you are just a crying baby, boo hoo”, as day to day humble jokes which nobody tends to take seriously. So am I mocking you? No, definitely not, I’m just adding my own thoughtless flavors to spice up my post and oh what a hella spices I’m getting back for my own thoughtlessness. (smile)
I guess, they take things too serious as the truth always hurts.

From your feedback I have learn a lot about my weakness as well as my lack of skills and incapability in the choice of words. This is the best constructive critism I have received over this whole affair. I sincerely thank you for your kind critics and explanations. You have shown me a new perspective and I’m so grateful for that. This is the best example of giving legitimate reasoning/comment to earn one’s respect as well as appreciation. You are a true blogger and well respected countrymen indeed.

But seriously, I am NOT insulting anyone and I absolutely NOT FORCING you to do anything. These are just my thoughts on the matter, how you choose to take it is your part.

I do not know how to say in your “nice way”, do advice me so that I can properly make use of it in the future. Ok let me repeat again and make it clear again that I’m insulting/mocking NOBODY…but like I said b4, how you choose to take things is absolutely up to you. Don’t you think this is pretty much a freedom of speech?

You are mistakening me on technical bit. Ofcos I realise very few of mmblogger out there are tech experts. I’m NOT telling anyone that they must learn coding or designing. My whole point here is, it’s good to explore things rather than doing exact same thing as others do.

Even on your point of “content is the king”, will you still sit and watch if every single blogger on blogosphere talk about one same topic?
Say, they talk about music, one talking about pop culture and others also follow that one on n on n on n never ending stories of pop culture.
Won’t you suggest them to write about anything else other than same old pop culture?
Say, “hey i think you guys too much in pop, why don’t you talk about rock? I think rock is nice too. etc.” It’s just a humble suggestion. Either they take it or not is totally different story. You got an opinion, you gotta voice about it. Yes, they can choose to consider your suggestion or choose to ignore it or they can attack you just like here. That’s totally up to them to decide.

Do you get what I’m trying to say here?
This is exactly what I’m trying to do. I’m just suggesting “hey wouldn’t it be nice if u guys consider other styles/templates too? I think it’s kinda fun having your own unique way. Don’t you?”
That’s what I’m saying. I’m not talking anything about technical part nor I saying I’m tech expert.

But I seriously love your “Content is the king” bit. (wink*)
Ok. I better shut up before I start about your point a bit farther. haha.

Thank you for your very constructive critic.
Cheers

Another is my father loves writing too. And I am teaching him a bit about how to use this cool bloging thing to express himself. Do we want to scare people like him off? Do we want to create a digital divide or do we want to actually close that gap? If he and if people like him reads your post, they would be discouraged. For IT geeks, it might be possible to do that. Yet a good number of people do not customize their blog because a) the original template was so well design and suits his needs very well (if it aint broke don’t fix it) and b) they can not and should not care any less of how similar to other blogs their looks and feels is, but should be caring about the actual content of their site, which is inf I think we are all missing the point. As for me I blog because I want to write. And 90% of us I believe blog because we love to write. And as a writter.

Hence the quality of the post is and should be of primary concern to a good number of bloggers. It is already asking a lot that we have learned to use computers for god sakes! Now don’t make me learn HTML or CSS! Content is King (Black being the new King may be open to debate, however Content is King is what every bloggers need to be told about.

Now don’t make me learn HTML or CSS! That is for default templates to take care of on my behalf and that is the way it should.

Mayvelous may have a point for now, though as a good number of current Burmese bloggers tend to come form IT. Therefore I am assuming that you believe they should customize their blog and have it branded to identify themselves more well. Or does your comments hold true for the day when 90% bloggers would not be IT geeks but would be people like my father? They just want to write. And I just want to write too. I have a life outside of my blog. And I guess we all have a life outside of our blogs. Better things to do. I hope you understand what I am trying to say. So please do think about it.

I have also done some research on what you have posted. The result is that a very significant number of tech blogs world wide are using defaults. And there is a reason for it or are these people just not imaginative or creative but just plain dumb? And mind you these are Tech blogs and not blogs of Joe User. My results may not be reliable hence I shall outline the method I used. I went to technorati and searched for keyword “tech”. And if Techorati is using some kind of rankings, that I am assuming the top ten results were the best match. Again this is an assumption, and if you wish to differ than tell us so. Let me continue. I clicked some blogs (not all ten, sorry don’t have too much time to spare), and it looked like a good number them were using default that came with whatever bloggins software that they were using. And worst, some of them are even hideous! It prove my point that it is the content that matters. And content is king. Is my research screwed? I care for you comments on these. And the finer point I am making about bloggers not required to come from the world of IT. We want a lot of bloggers from various fields, we want them to be the 90% of Burmese bloggers, which is currently not true. Apologies if I am ranting out a lot. Could not help it.

@yangonthu
A lot of people did got frenzy. And is indeed using their freedom of speech, and they are using these making out very valid points on why the comments on Myanmar Bloggers are wrong. Are we suppose to just let Mayvelous send the wrong message? Should we not say why her comments are just plain wrong? We are using it to counter misleading and dead wrong statements made about how blogging should be. It should be easy that is the point. We are telling her that a good number of us are not techies. And she is saying “no one is born with it”, and should learn how to improve the brandings, identities, look and feel etc of thier blogs. But that is not what blogging is about and that is what we are trying to say. Thanzin has said it will by giving a parallel with a Diary.

1. @Shoutbox : M didnt mention using cbox. If you used to read English Books, can leave this as fake one, the main tip is the texts on Cbox can be seen public directly. Ahh, you wont understand unless you got personal insulting on your cbox frequently.

2. She didnt mention for using black. Havent you seen ( but no personal flavor )? Think clearly and try to understand what she really wanted to say. The term personal flavor means, you can copy, we all copied, but we should change and put some of your own idea and creative efforts.

3. Copyright : you would never understand untill your own creative idea, or work has been stolen. Not money! It’s kind of brain sucking!

4. Be optimisitic! at least, I didnt feel uneasy for her point of view, cuz I believe my blog is not included in it. I used others’ coding but I transformed, added some flavor, and changed to my own style. I used black,yes, but different black template and coding from original template.

May all burmese blogger be united and stand together……
