I got an inquiry from one of my blog’s readers about post pagination, which I used in my previous post. Well, it’s very simple. To split your post into separate sub-pages, simply use the WordPress Quicktag, <!--nextpage-->. Remember the <!--more--> tag?

And why am I talking about this? WordPress’ child themes! Ever got tired of copying over the changes you’ve made to your templates [...]

As I’ve mentioned in a couple of earlier blog posts, I absolutely love spicy food. That’s why I was very happy when a friend told me about Taste of Malaysia. They serve hot, spicy dishes that taste really yummy! When I first went there, it was just for drinks, although I did sample their Beef [...]
