Most of the personal bloggers would like to place a little chat box widget on their blogs. I know many friends of mine use cbox and I also tried using it few years ago. You may have noticed that I am using ShoutMix here instead of cbox. There is no significant reason for me to do so. It's simply because I admire the success and entrepreneurial spirit of the founder of ShoutMix. I forgot his name but he is a young Malaysian who dropped out from MMU. He dropped out so that he could focus on the development of ShoutMix. This is what Bill Gates from Microsoft and Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook did, isn't it?

I am not sure whether the founder of cbox is also a college drop-out, but anyway I am writing this post because I saw something on my shoutmix widget. Check it out!

Yes, there are SPAM messages! What ridiculous is the person who spammed my ShoutBox used "admin" as his nickname and people could probably mistake it as my message! Thanks to EliteVillain for informing me about it although I have seen it earlier.

I actually tried to find a way to delete the spam messages but I could not find the delete button on the widget itself. So I thought I might have to log into my shoutmix account to delete the messages. After logging into the user panel, I finally saw the "Delete" tab and quickly clicked it. It led me to the page where it prompted me to select which batch of messages to delete.

Oh no! I only want to delete certain messages which are the spam messages. It seems I can't do so. Too bad. That's why the spam messages are still existing on my ShoutBox. Arrrggghh!

If anyone from ShoutMix is reading this blog post, I hope you can modify the settings so that the user can delete any selected message, as few as one. I don't want other messages to be deleted. Any solution my friends please post it on the comment section. Thanks a lot!

I just finished the "I Hate It" part. Now it's the "I Like It" part. ShoutMix is definitely one of the best chat box widget services on the Internet. It provides convenience for visitors who are lazy enough to leave comments on blog posts. Lol, I am just joking. In fact, it is a also good tool for visitors and bloggers to communicate with each other on topics that might be irrelevant to the blog posts. For example, "how r u?", "u come back jb ad?", "i added u on my blogroll, check it out", "sheng loong lazy blogger"(lol!) I can say that a chat box, whether it's cbox or shoutmix, is important and everyone should place it on his/her personal blog. The only drawback is you have to deal with the spam messages. Just like what I have described above.

Here's a good news I got from my ShoutBox. There are two messages left on my ShoutBox. Kai Chew from kafechew.com told me that he/she(sorry for not being able to know your gender) read my blog last year in May and got inspired to start his/her website. Now he/she had earned more than $250 USD (>RM875) online. Although the figure is not big enough to surprise you, but it proves that making money online definitely works, only if you take action and are willing to learn. I believe Kai Chew will earn stable income online as long as he/she persists on it. Another person called "Malaysian actuary" (obviously not a real name) also left a message. But I believe both of them are the same person. I have some advice for you, Kai Chew if you are reading this. You can learn the basics of SEO from the Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide, released by Google itself. You may download it instantly by visiting the link. It provides enough information for newbies to start performing SEO on their websites. However, SEO is a very broad topic on its own and the information you receive can be obsolete very quickly as Google and other search engines are changing their algorithms constantly. There are many other good ebooks on SEO but I would advise you to read the one I mentioned above first. Once you have finished it then only I will introduce other books to you. Good luck!
