x0dus.com (Version 2.0)
For version 2.0 of x0dus.com, I’ve opted for a very minimalistic look, simple because I felt version 1.0 was too magazine-like, and did not really feel like an actual blog to me. Hence it’s back to a standard blog layout, where posts are showed chronologically on the first page. Comes with a sidebar containing post categories, links to personal friends’ blogs etc and also an about me section. In terms of SEO, my blog pops up as the first link on Google, when my name is searched for in Google.

Fashers
Me and two other friends set up Fashers.com having a vision of building a Singapore Fashion Community, where content is generated by anyone who is willing to contribute to the site. This is a great growing experience for me, because it really allows me to find out if Wordpress is as competent in terms of CMS as compared to Drupal and Joomla. The site is far from finished, although the design has been finalized.

I am contracted by Health Sciences Authority (HSA), a Singapore government board, to design a second site for them, after the 1st site for them was approved went LIVE. This 2nd site is meant for the Asian Forensic Sciences Network 2nd Annual Meeting & Symposium, which is an event that will be held in Brunei during the month of June.

Watch What?
WatchWhat? is a movie review site that I set up just for the fun of it. The site has no content and is just for experimental purposes. I have always felt that the Singapore movie review websites on the web are simply too hard to navigate. I believe people searching for movie reviews, are only after three things, the user reviews, ratings and the Movie Trailer. Watch What? gives the users what they are looking for in a format that is simplistic yet really elegant. I am looking to develop the website with real content if the chance arises in the future.

Singapore Travel
Done using Drupal, the site is still being worked on by me and a few other friends on a weekly basis. Drupal is chosen as it is arguably the most flexible Content Management System (CMS) and allows multiple users to edit the site simultaneously. This is also my first website done using Drupal. Learning Drupal required a lot of trial and error on my part, because the Drupal online community is not quite as developed as that of Wordpress or Joomla.

Football Manager Guru
The site is about a game called Football Manager 2010, where I play as the manager of a soccer team. It ranks on the 6th on google out of 21 million hits for “Football Manager 2010 blog” and “Football Manager blog” after only 1 month. It is also a site which I earn a steady source of revenue via Google Adsense, and by far, my most successful site in terms of SEO.

Asian Forensic Sciences Network
I was contracted by the Health Sciences Authority, a Singapore government board, to design a website for the Asian Forensic Sciences Network which is made up of members from all over the world. I was required to come up with a fully functional site within 3 months. This site was a good platform for me to practice my CSS skills, because the site undergo numerous revisions before the final approval, and I had to change everything from colour schemes, to font sizes. An invaluable experience for me!

x0dus.com (Version 1.0)
This site is my personal domain and functions as my personal blog. The website is no longer in use, and has been overtaken by a new look. This old look had a magazine-style look to it, and it was my very first experience with using Wordpress as a CMS tool. I learnt a lot about tweaking Wordpress templates from my first site. I also used it heavily in testing new theories I was learning at that time about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) I was successful in getting a couple of articles to rank highly on Google, and that eventually paved the way for mastery in SEO.
