So there you go… recently a teacher walked on the stage and announced, http://www.smkpandanmewah.com IS the official site of SMK Pandan Mewah. Simultaneously the Edunet went down. So there you go again, we finally have one official site. Not by me.
But if you are willing to do a little techno Conan, www.smkpm.com is booked by the same person. Lookup for the WHOIS reveals his allegiance, name per IC, house address and his phone numbers. www.smkpm.com is not developed, for some reason.
Well I waddled over to the new site and I don’t think students will use that site, it can only be a symbol, or a face for the school, via Internet, students won’t use it though. Here are a couple of reasons and facts:
It’s for teachers, not students
Go to the bottom part of the sidebar and take a close look on the PAUTAN RASMI. The links listed which in fact, point to various government departments that help teachers in their daily life as public servants. But it’s definitely NOT going to help students in their daily life as hardworking nerds.
Facebook Link unofficial-ized
Here’s a small easter egg, hover your mouse cursor to the facebook icon on the upper right site and read your linked URL at the bottom of your browser. It’s not pointing to SMK Pandan Mewah, instead it points to the theme maker, WPExplorer? I guess so.
Twitter Tweets Unofficial-ized, too
At the inception of the WordPress blog, not site, there is a tweet updater at the footnote of the site. By tracing the twitter account back to its source, it’s actually the tweets of WPExplorer… how does a San Diego techno geek related to a Malaysia high school? I doubt about that. But the Twitter is now no longer working.
Blank and Bloated
Go to the navigation bar at the top of the web page just below the header banner, you will notice there are many pages created, but few are filled with contents. So before you travel to North Korea that fill your nostril with taste of Stalin, why don’t come to this site and taste the beauty of the outside, ugliness of the inside?
How is this official?
Yes, this is the big momma question. Is the admin of the site paranoid? I mean, who certified a Hindenburg as an official site of the school, when few students spent less than 10 seconds on the site? Come on guys, this site is sinking down on Google for sure. Especially when you don’t use English. And why is a site built solely on WordPress? This is way not too cool.
