Normally, we often forget the sacrifices our fathers made and the roles they played in shaping our lives. Father’s Day gives us the opportunity to express our love to this man who deserves our best. Father’s Day is a day to honour not only our father, but all men who have acted as a father figure in our lives. So, what is the word FATHER means to you?

15. How to Cope the Problem with Page Elements in Blogger

Hm..after searching for the solution for a short while (using Yahoo, Google and MSN), it ends up at the Google’s Help section. I decided to ask the problem directly to the Google’s help section. This is the conversation that I just made via e-mail with their staff.

"Why I can't see my complete Page Elements? How to solve this problem?"

"Can I assume you have a great number of widgets and so cannot see down to the footer? If so, try hitting CTRL-End to move the window down."

"Yes, I have a great number of widget. Thank you for you answer, I will try hitting the CTRL-End. But, one more thing the page said that error on page. Please help me, I'm very confused right now.."

"Vin has posted an answer to the question "Why I can't see my complete Page Elements? How to solve this problem? Iskandar, try clearing the cache. See: http://betabloggerfordummies.blogspot.com/2006/10/how-to-refresh-your-blog-page-in.html"

After that, I try clearing the cache and the problem is solved. Thanks to the staff for the solution. If you have the same problem (Internet Explorer users only), try to clear the cache and here are the methods step by step.

1. Open the Internet Explorer browser. Click Tools at the bottom of the browser.

2. Why Iskandarisme?

Actually, I’m start blogging since 2007 but I stop for a while because the first project was unsuccessful. This is my first blog ever. But, I end up to starting up a new life with Iskandarisme. Hopefully, Iskandarisme will provide more information and benefits to all of you out there.

Why Iskandarisme? This is the question I had to answer before I decided to create this blog. It’s all start with Wikipedia and I’m sure you know more than me about this website. When I search for the words ‘Iskandar’ in Wikipedia, there are 797 items which could be found there. According to Wikipedia, Iskandar can be refer to:

• Alexander the Great, by which name he is known in some cultures.


• Iskandar, a Timurid ruler of Persia.


• Iskandar Muda, famous ruler of Aceh Sultanate.


• Iskandar Malaysia, the new main southern development corridor in Johor, Malaysia.


• Sultan Iskandar, names of several Muslim rulers who share the same title and name.

But, actually I’m very interested in this one; Iskandar can refer to Alexander the Great, by which name he is known in some cultures. So, I checked again who is Alexander the Great. There’s no surprise there are a lot of information about him. Therefore, I will state a little bit information that I got from Wikipedia itself.

• Alexander the Great also known as Alexander III of Macedon was an ancient Greek King (basileus) of Macedon (336–323 BC).


• He was one of the most successful military commanders of all time and is presumed undefeated in battle.


• By the time of his death, he had conquered the Achaemenid Persian Empire, adding it to Macedon's European territories; according to some modern writers, this was most of the world as known to the ancient Greeks.

Enough a little bit about him, let’s get back to Iskandarisme. Looking for the picture above, no wonder he became the most successful military commanders in his era. The point here is, I want to take the good side of the Iskandar or also known as Alexander the Great.

P.S: Is Iskandar and Alexander the Great is the same person? What do you think?
