Now you can! With the official release of the new Philippines National Keyboard Layout, Filipino all-over the world can now type the characters that before we have to copy-and-paste elsewhere (or memorize ASCII codes).

For example, if I want to type “ñ”, I just click (RAlt)/AltGr+n and I get ñ. Typing Batangueño is now way much faster and easy. Or if you are creating financial reports and your currency is in Philippine Peso, forget about typing PHP/Php, just press (RAlt)/AltGr+p and you get the ₱eso sign.

Font availability is not a problem at all. Months ago I tested the ₱eso sign availability by simply asking it on µblogs and social networks – Linux, Windows, and Mac users can see it! And Ññ of course has been in the ASCII range (0-255) for a looooong time already.

Here’s more, start typing in Baybayin (or Alibata as was wrongly labeled by our Education system) direct from your keyboard! No need to use online typepads or copy pasting, or escaping via HTML codes, just type as you would when typing in Latin.

My name in Baybayin: ᜑᜓᜏᜈ᜔ ᜐᜒᜐᜒ ᜃᜓᜈᜒᜆ (Huwan Sese Kuneta; JC John Sese Cuneta)
Baybayin in Baybayin: ᜊᜌ᜔ᜊᜌᜒᜈ᜔
Mabuhay in Baybayin: ᜋᜊᜓᜑᜌ᜔

But as you can see, you will need a font to display the Baybayin characters. Soon however, newer versions of different operating systems will have a Baybayin font included, we are working on it. For now, as a temporary solution, you can download one of the 30-50 Baybayin fonts available online! Yes, we have that much fonts, Filipinos are creating new fonts left and right.

Can someone read it? Oh yes. Offline and online. If you are in Megapolitan Manila, probably you haven’t seen or met one yet, but outside of Mega Manila, there are lots. Online, you probably encountered us talking in Baybayin via Twitter, Facebook, Plurk, Identi.ca/Status.net, Multiply, even on our blogs and comments, but you don’t have a font.

Fair enough. We included a Baybayin font created by Nordenx, in our downloadable zip files. Simply install it and voila, you will start seeing the beautiful Baybayin writing script of our great Nation.

Ok, enough talk, head on over to these links to install the Philippines National Keyboard Layout (with Baybayin).

WebriQ releases new features

Friday

WebriQ provides a content management system and dynamic portal engine that enables anyone to publish their own website, and that from a simple informative website to a complex multisite and multilingual E-commerce, community or news portal. The platform includes a state-of-the-art CSS Template creation and parser tool, capable of integrating any custom design in to the CMS platform. The entire platform is build on open source software and is made available to end-users through a monthly subscription mechanism.

We have updated our Web Content Management Platform today with a couple of very interesting and innovative features that will surely enhance the viewers experience on your already created or newly created website with WebriQ.

First and foremost we have added a couple of social media sharing features enabling you and the viewers of your website to share data of your website with other social media sites that you are running. Four options are available in the definition settings: Display Facebook like button, Display “Add this:share” in the galleries, Display “Add this:bookmark” in the Footer and Display “Add this: bookmark” in the shop area. Enabling those features will allow anyone coming to the site to share the content of your site with other social media sites like Facebook and also allowing your viewers to rate content on your website.

The second set of updates has been done in the shop area, where we basically enhanced the user experience on many areas like the invoicing and billing area, the shipping methodology logic, additions to the shopping cart and the wishlist.

Third we made it easier to change the logo on your website and the Favicon on the website: simply upload your logo in the definition area and the logo picture will automatically re size itself to fit in nicely in the area set for the logo. The same methodology is used for the Favicon icon, displayed in front of your URL. All this to enhance the look and feel of your site by just a couple of simple additions and a couple of clicks.

And last, we have enhanced the user interface on the Newsletter module. All modules have now a unified user interface and navigation mechanism, to make it easy for all the content managers to navigate through all the modules available on the WebriQ content management platform.

As of a couple of weeks ago, you can Register your domains from within the WebriQ platform, by logging in to your site and clicking on Register domains on the welcome page. You can also transfer your existing domain to WebriQ and therefore redirect your domain to your WebriQ subdomain.
As well as set your MX record for for example Google Business Apps or Zoho mail.

Besides using Linkbucks on your site, there are also other methods which could help you make more money out of “cashing your outbound links”.
