Got my literary piece printed
When I started blogging people have been seeking out my opinions. I have written poems, plays, novels, and reviews a lot of people admired. I even got paid higher than the minimum wage for my writings though I do it as hobby. But I can not seem to get satisfaction.
Maybe satisfaction is an over rated word, but I feel like I could achieve it with a significant literary piece. It happened as I got the inspirational topic from an online friend, Anne who has supported me in all my undertakings. It was no more than a hundred word blog about how even the combination of space and time could still be surpassed by friendship. It was dedicated to this friend I have never met in person yet felt like always with me wherever I am. She has passed my blog at Yearblook.com and to my surprise one day; thousands have voted and commented my piece as very insightful and companionable. It did not stop there as I finally realized and accomplished what I have been waiting for to satisfy me, http://www.yearblook.com has published my piece in print! It will be in a book passed around in generations! The best part was someone actually funded for my meeting with Anne.

Get paid to blog with Smorty
Would you like to get paid to blog? I have joined several services that pay you to blog or review websites but few of them really have the potential of earning a reasonable income. Most of them after I signed up I rarely receive any opportunities or none at all. One program I like is Smorty which I highly recommend if you are looking for ways to make money from blogging. I’ve joined Smorty a few weeks ago and have steadily been getting review opportunities ranging from $6 - $30. Last month, I think I earned around $300 just from reviewing websites.

The Launching of a Christian Blog
There are numbers of blogs in the blogosphere that tackles hundreds of topics in all areas of life. It is great to know that Christian blogs can still be found in the cyberspace. There are hundreds of Christian websites but this new blog which is about to be live in the net is substantially dedicated to Jesus Christ who is the author and finisher of faith.
The author here relates his experience in his own simple words. He testifies on the greatness of Jesus. And he proclaims that Jesus Is Lord in his life. The struggles that he partakes and the mercy that he receives from God show us that there is Someone out there who is sovereign enough and who controls the universe.

I’m “Blog of the Day” on PayPerPost!
First off, I want to thank Yen for informing me that this blog is currently featured today on PayPerPost as Blog of the Day. I’m not sure how I got featured but I’m truly honored. I just hope PPP would let me take more than 3 opportunities from now on so I can earn more so that by next month I will be able to buy myself a new Nokia N95 or a car. 
Payperpost is one of my favorite money earners online along with Adsense, Text Link Ads, and Kontera. I get to blog about the things I like and earn money at the same time. Ever since I started taking reviews on PPP, my blog’s traffic also increased and so is my earnings too. I guess it really helps a lot if you have knowledge about search engine optimization and link building stuff. I’m sure no advertisers would want to get reviewed by a poorly promoted blog.

Blog Network Advertising, Backlinks, and Traffic
One of the most effective ways to drive traffic to a website is through blog-based promotion. By placing content and backlinks on critic blog networks , website owners can help to ensure the continuance of web crawling that is so appealing to human site browsers and search engines alike. Blow networks offer a cheap and easy way to promote a website and drive traffic there.
Because it is free to post on a blog, the obvious advantage to that form of website promotion is the low cost. While not all blogs are created equally and not all blogs see the same amount of traffic, today’s internet has a number of different blog avenues to choose from. As people turn more to blog networks for their daily spin on news, products, and events, the opportunity to promote a website on these blogs will continue to grow.

There are three categories on the website, the first is "blog posts" which finds any posts that contain the search term, the second is "tags" which finds individual posts that are tagged with the search term, and the third is "blog directory" which finds individual blogs that are tagged with the search term.
The first thing you will need to do is create a free account on the Technorati website which only takes a few minutes to do and you will then be able to list every post on your entire blog and other members will be able to add your blog to their list of favourites.

RSS – Using RSS for Your Web Site
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and while as a concept it has been around for several years it is only recently that its use has caught on with fervor and brought it immense popularity. Today there are several websites of all sizes that are using RSS technology to their advantage and so can you.

Mac Blog
Most blogs are a dime a dozen, they are free or nearly free to set up, and are filled with mindless garbage. It is refreshing when you stumble across a blog that is actually worth reading. I have my Netvibes page full of feeds that I read each day. It has been quite a while since I added a new feed to my page. Well, today was the day I was able to add a new feed.
As you all know, I am a heavy duty mac user, both at home and at work. I carry my iPod everywhere, and can't wait to get my hands on the new iPhone. Many of the sites I check on a regular basis are mac sites, so it is no surprise my new feed is a mac blog. Mac Shout is written for guys like me, guys who love macs but don't have a ton of time. Their focus is on applications and utilities that make your mac life easier.

Matt Cutts’ Blog Hacked?
I just learned earlier from a guy named Pierce in DP forums that Matt Cutts' blog has been hacked. Some members say it's just an April Fool's joke but I don't think Matt would do such joke as it is against Google and not very funny. This one is certainly an April Fool's joke. And this one. And this one, and this one, and this one...:)
From one of Matt's latest posts he noticed some weird errors after upgrading his blog from WordPress 2.0.x to 2.1.2.

Fame And The Vlog (Video Blog)
The ranks of the famous have traditionally been roles filled by movie stars, television stars, athletes and rock stars. The countenance of celebrity is changing to include a new, technology-oriented kind of superstar: The Vlogger. A vlog, if you have been hiding under a rock, is a blog (self-published online diary) with video. The vlog is trumping the blog as far as notoriety goes and the public’s love of the moving image hasn’t seen this much popularity since the invention of the moving picture in 1895. The difference being the technology necessary to become a vlogger, or to take the media into your own hands in the form of ‘citizen journalism’ as the genre is now touted, is becoming easier and easier. A camera, broadband, hosting site, software and content are the components needed to be a potential vlogstar.
Forbes.com has listed the Web Celeb 25, a summation of the current internet superstars influencing the Internet. Bloggers, podcasters and vloggers are among the individuals revolutionizing the Internet as we know it.

Mundane Is The New Punk Rock – Vlogging
Blogging, (for those of you in the Dark Ages- a (we)blog- n. an online journal that incorporates weblinks, reader commentary and archives of the owner/author’s posts. Can include photos or video) experienced a superboom from 2002-2005 and today’s technorati.com blogtracker shows 71.06 million blogs and counting. On Jan. 1st, 2004, Steve Garfield declared ‘The Year of the Videoblog’ and he proved to be an assured soothsayer. Video blogging, or vblogging, is the new media breakthrough within the latest presentation of web technology and interactive production and, in the case of the vlog, broadcasting.
The Vlogosphere is filled with an equal amount of bizarre nonsense, biased and unbiased news, politics, sit coms and a man dressed as SKELETOR giving his semi-weekly glimpse into the world of the unemployed superhero singing karaoke, griping at home and play-acting his foregone existence in Eternia. YouTube and similar sites such as blip.tv, mefedia.com and podcasting have made it easy and accessible for anyone with a camera, laptop, broadband connection and a dream (or disturbing nightmare) to post their video thoughts and accomplishments online. Everyone’s a filmmaker and it’s more or less uncensored.
