First I’d added the English post few days ago, then the Chinese post today. Due to the default language of my site is Chinese, there’s no ‘Add Translation’ option on the English post edit page, only the message ‘This is a translation of xx’ of which you may appoint this post to a specific Chinese post. I wrote the Chinese standalone post and  wanted to appoint the English one to this one.

But the result sucks. There are a bunch of Chinese posts but none of them is the one I’ve just written. It seems the plugin randomly selects some posts but there is not enough space to show them all, another reason is there’s no such function that query all your posts. To make my translation corresponded, I have to delete the written one and re-write another formal ‘Translation’. This is odd.

My tip, is to remind all friends using the Multilingual Plugin, to write a post in their default language first, then the translation post using ‘add a translation’ function. Do NOT write posts in different languages and hope to link them together (at least before the plugin writer fixs this).

P.S. Question: my default language is Simplified Chinese, but everything but the plugin at admin panel shows in English. Anyone know why?

1. Theme modification/change
This theme, made by Jinwen, is pretty good. During my modification and adjustment, he also offered me a lot help. However I felt that most excellent themes became totally ruined under my construction due to my lack for HTML and CSS. I admit that I do have some talents in languages and I do have little exercise on coding (in fact I barely practice my language skills). But how to get a perfect, customized theme? One solution is to customize is either paying or begging. Isn’t it awkward for saying so? Recently I know a little bit more about the codes in modifying themes for little K, btw I got to know a linux girl on Twitter who provides translation series about JQuery of which I think will be a great resource for most of the site builders. Now I’m happy to share the translation to all of you.

2. Multilingual
My first multilingual post is ‘Demonoid Invitation code share’, with Chinese at the top and English at the bottom. Eventually this post dies since the short of invitation codes and the block of my site. But the funnies thing is that a bunch of people came to this post via search engines and ask for invitations, including a large quantity of English speakings. The search engine is powerful, meanwhile a multilingual site is essential for a site’s visit count. If we take the visit gain of one single post with fabulous content as 1, in my opinion, the total gain of transforming this single language site into a multilingual site shall equal to the product of languages added multiplies the post amount. I happen to have the ability to translate most of my posts. Presuming I master another language in the future, I will post in that language too. Today this post shall be considered as the first of many to come.
Oh, BTW, the plugin that realizes multilingual is WPML Multilingual CMS introduced by Jinwen. You may check for further usages on Jinwen’s post: WordPress网站多语言化插件WPML试用

3. Content, content, and content
First let me conclude the most popular posts/pages: QQ for Mac Update Log, Demonoid Invitation code share and Based64 Code Conversion. The last one is a page based on the js file enclosed by coolflyr_reg, for converting Thunder download links into common links. The first one is an unofficial update log and sneak peek post about the mainland wide famous IM software QQ, however Pfau stopped sitting in the front row and the software itself has no updates in months, this post dies. Before it dies, this post and another one on newsniper.com, are the fastest QQ for Mac news providers on Internet. Pfau and Newsniper are close to QQ for Mac developer and able to give all users previews and receives feedbacks from them. We’re so fast that a lot of other forums, sites would quote some or all of our news.
So, where can we find popularities? The answer lies in applicability. If the post focus on products or technologies of greater applicability, this post is more like to be popular. Another problem arose: there’re too many of them who write about the same stuff, you have to be faster, more detailed with more supportive/offensive ideas. I am quite a lazy guy with a lot pride, thus my posts are most likely surrounding my own feelings. Personality is important for individuals. But I have to confess this is no good for my site, I cannot live in my own world forever.
The original intension of making this site, is to provide introductions/tutorial to various products, especially Apple products. This is not a bad idea but it’s connected with huge homework. There are too many tutorial sites and there are site dedicate to translating famous foreign blogs. If I stand out alone, it can’t even be good, let alone the better. Then what’s the hit for personal blogs? Like Jinwen’s blog (creator of this theme) and mg12 (creator of the famous theme ‘inove’). A simple reason is to carry on day after day, week after week, with a few new stuff coming out once in a while. Then I will not say how many posts I would submit per day, and swear what will I do, all I have to do is to focus on my experiences, about life, product and technology. Whether they are nonsense or ridiculous to you, I’ll make myself believe first.

End of post, thanks to all.

1、模板更换/修改
Jinwen的这个模板很不错，他也给了我很多帮助。只是我觉得貌似什么好主题到了我手里都被我改得人模鬼样的，造成这个原因的主要因素则是我对HTML和CSS的陌生。我承认自己对语言有天赋，但是对代码确实缺乏锻炼。（其实我的语言也很少锻炼。）那么如何搞到完美的模板？答案之一就是找人定做，要么花钱，要么磨嘴皮子套近乎。可是我这个人又自命清高，别人搞出来的东西基本不会合自己的意，所以还是继续自己修改好了。很囧吧，说了半天还是原地踏步。:idea: 因为给小K改了一套模板，最近对于HTML和CSS的框架又有一些了解，并且昨天开始在推特上面遇见一位Linux girl，她网站上有几篇关于JQuery的译文也很不错，并且是一个系列，相信对很多做站的朋友都会有帮助的。在此先共享出来。

2、多语言化
我的第一篇多语言化日志是Demonoid的邀请码分享，中文+英文，后来因为邀请码短缺，再加上网站也关了，就没怎么关心过。无独有偶的是，很多人通过搜索引擎来到了我的站并且索要邀请码，其中就包括N多讲E文的。不得不说搜索引擎是个强大的东西，也不得不说有个多语言化的网站对于提高访问是多么的重要。如果把一个内容丰富的单篇单语言日志看成是1的收益，我觉得这个网站从单语言转换为多语言则是以增加语言种类的数量乘以日志数的结果。我自己的水平最多也是一般般的，所以自己写一点东西，还是有能力进行英语翻译。假如以后掌握了其他语种，我也考虑将其添加进来。今天这篇日志便作为正式多语言的第一弹，低调发布了。
差点忘记说，实现多语言化的插件是借由Jinwen介绍的WPML Multilingual CMS，使用方法详见此处：WordPress网站多语言化插件WPML试用

3、内容，内容，还是内容
先总结一下老P建站以来人气的文章：QQ for Mac更新日志、Demonoid邀请码分享、Base64编码转换。其中最后一个是基于coolflyr_reg的js文件生成的页面，用于转换迅雷下载地址。第一个是非官方的消息递送文章，目前因为老P的进度没有怎么跟进，QQ for Mac也几个月没有更新过，也就停止了。悄悄炫耀一番：该文，以及位于newsniper.com的QQ for Mac试用文，可以算是互联网上最快跟进的文章。老P和群主几乎都能在第一时间获取QQ for Mac的最新动态，以至于众多论坛、网站也曾以各种方式盗用过这些消息。
那么文章的人气主要来源于哪里？答案就是适用性广。写的东西用的人越多或者关心的人越多，那么热度越高。当然也存在另一个问题：热度越高的东西往往会更多人写，你必须比别人更快、更完善、发表更容易获得广泛认同（或是反动）的见解。我是相当的一个懒人了，而且我还非常自负，所以我写东西大多围绕自己想写的内容来写，并不过多考虑看着的心态。活在这世上，个性是一件很重要的东西。现在我还是要承认自己做得不好，我总不能一辈子活在自己的世界里面吧。
老P做站的初衷是为了要为大家提供各种产品的入门教程，特别是Apple相关的电子产品。这个初衷是好的，实施起来工程是浩大的。教程站太多了，还有专门翻译国外博客的博客。我一个人这样耕耘，完全就是老牛拉破车。可是为什么还有很多个人博客做得很好？比如Jinwen（本站模板作者），比如mg12（著名模板inove的作者）。很简单的一点，人家比我坚持得好。日复一日，周而复始，总是有新东西上架的。所以我在这里也没必要为了表明决心而扇自己几个耳光然后宣誓说每天要写几篇日志之类的屁话，我就坚持好好写自己的各种心得体会好了。关于生活的、产品的、技术的。无论它们是我在胡扯还是我瞎编，我至少先让自己信服，再写出来看有没有其他人信服。

以上三条。废话完毕。

P.S. 11号起草，工作太忙，回家太累，现在才把正文写完。还有个英语版本等着我写。。。ORZ 明天更新英文版。
