There are two types of affiliates offered.
First type, affiliate for everyone: Anyone can earn referral money by registering as an affiliate and sending people to the WordPress HelpCenter.”
Second type, affiliate for authors of wordpress plugins and themes.
Register all your plugins and themes. Whenever we provide support for a registered plugin or theme, the affiliate developer receives a payment.
How much?
Get Paid, $1 Per Event
What’s event?
(1) Each time wp provide paid support on one of your registered plugins or themes, that is an event (applied for authors of wp plugins / themes only).
or
(2) Referrals with your affiliate code (even if the support is for something besides one of your plugins or themes) are also events (applied to everyone, could be the first and second type).
For example
* A user comes to your site looking for plugin support, and is directed to the WordPress HelpCenter from your affiliate badge.
* If that user chooses to get paid support from the WordPress HelpCenter, you would receive $2 ($1 for the referral, and $1 because we provided support for a plugin you registered with us).
In short, even if you are not using a self-hosted wordpress, you are still able to earn by referring people to WPHC by putting the badge in your blog or your email.

Indonesia Educational System should create Entrepreneurs, Not Job Seekers
“Students should be encouraged to create jobs instead of looking for ones” says Presiden Sby. Couldn’t agree more with President SBY on this. Don’t forget, however, that encouragement should not come only from the educational system, it also should come from the parents of the students. Thus, educating the parents is no less importants too.
How many young talented Indonesian who have wasted their entrepreneurship talent only to be a PNS (pegawai negeri sipil or public servants) because of their parents ‘indoctrination’?

Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono called on National Education Minister to revise the Indonesian educational system starting from kindergarten to senior high school.
“A proper way should be designed to avoid the students from aiming only at final marks,” he said on Thursday, Oct 29, in Jakarta.
According to Mr Yudhoyono, the old methodology will not improve the zest and innovative thinking of the students during 12 years of their study. “Should the method is improvised, we could in the future encourage them to create jobs instead of looking only for one,” he said.
Hate Crime Bill Signed in the US
Hate crime bill is important in America a country where its citizen comes from a multi-cultural, races, ethnicities, sexual orientation and religious background. A law is needed to handle that potentially inhospitable environment.
Although a ethnic-based conflict took place a few times in Indonesia, like anti-Chinese riot, Ambon and Poso Muslim-Christian strife, etc I don’t think such law is really need to be set up here. If you walk on the streets in Java or other islands, you’d rarely find such ethnic-based hate-crime.
What Indonesia needs the most is a stern law on corruption. I strongly support a capital punishment or death penalty for any government officials who nowadays regard a corruption act as a sort of achievement. Corruption is the mother of all crimes in Indonesia. The sooner such law is set-up, the better. What do you think?
President Obama signed major civil rights legislation on Wednesday, making it a federal hate crime to assault people based on sexual orientation, gender and gender identity. The new measure expands the the scope of a 1968 law that applies to people attacked because of their race, religion or national origin. The U.S. Justice Department will have expanded authority to prosecute such crimes when local authorities don’t.
The provision, called the Matthew Shepard & James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act is attached to a defense authorization bill. It is named after Matthew Shepard, a gay college student tortured and killed in 1998, and James Byrd Jr., a black man who was chained to a pickup truck and dragged to his death the same year.
