Revisiting Blogging Strategy Helps in Improving Quality

March 27th, 2010

Revisiting and examining pre-staged blogging strategy over past few days kept me a little more occupied. Simultaneously, I have been investing several hours in searching various write-ups on numerous websites and blogs. ”Blogging” is a well taken ‘niche’ and plethora of information is available online. For any keyword or a keyword phrase I found thousands of competing pages on all of the popular search engines. I generally prefer Google for my searches but ‘Bing’ is also coming up very fast and especially when it is corroborated with the ‘Yahoo Search’.

My search and looking for new ideas got me a little more puzzled. I initially thought and planned for writing blogging lessons and tutorials in a very different style so that newbies would be deriving more benefits. I have had my own experiences of learning by doing. This little break with searches have enabled me with even more interesting ideas and now I am planning to introduce them one by one .It may take a week or two to device a whole new blogging strategy for this site but in the end I am sure it will make everything more productive and advantageous for all my readers. » Read more: Revisiting Blogging Strategy Helps in Improving Quality

Proficient Blogging Strategies

March 20th, 2010

A blog is a true reflection of its creator. It reflects the creator’s thoughts, vision, and communications, exposed to the entire world. Blog tells the whole story in itself. It really does not matter whether the blog is a ‘well organized blog’ or it is just a jumble of images and text imposed as mementos. It may be a well-designed, well conceptualized and well managed blog on one hand and on the other hand it may also be just a collection of links, advertisements, banners, and even some irrelevant text posts. 

Proficient blogging strategies help in making a blog successful and ensure its readers and visitors coming back regularly. There are umpteen of such strategies and have been proved extremely useful over a period. I am outlining some of these popular blogging strategies.

Keep the Blog Concurrent

A blog must be kept up-to-date and concurrent. All links should be properly placed and comfortably opening for the visitors otherwise the visitor will just move on. A neglected blog can never be a profitable or popular concept. Some of the best blogs are what Buzz Bruggeman describes as ‘intelligence agents’. These blogs have posts that would be of interest to their target audience. » Read more: Proficient Blogging Strategies

If You can Email You can Blog Too!

March 9th, 2010

Creating content for a blog as a “blog post” is not different from writing an email on any of the web based email platform like Hotmail, Gmail, AOL, and Yahoo. The web based mail services are available free as well as paid ones. However, I assume that you are well versed with writing emails on popular free web based email services like Gmail and Hotmail.

So what do you do when you write an email?

You simply “log in” or “sign in” with a chosen username and password. This entering leads you to a WYSIWYG editor with the help of a web browser. With the help of specified buttons you simply type text in to the box and then after putting in the email address you just press the send button and send it to the desired email address. » Read more: If You can Email You can Blog Too!

PubSubHubbub (PuSH) Returns !

March 8th, 2010

The tongue-twister “PubSubHubbub” drew my attention a few days back while I was surfing news. Call it “PuSH” for convenience as the WordPress says. I never knew of it as I was not in to blogging in the 90’s when it first arrived as “updates pushing service”. “PuSH” is back now (no idea, when did this vanish!).

WordPress.Com now supports PubSubHubbub (PuSH), a dedicated service that ‘pushes’ all the updates from all the wordpress blogs to the RSS Readers automatically. » Read more: PubSubHubbub (PuSH) Returns !

Develop Habit of Reading Blogs

In order to derive information on any particular topic or subject blogs prove to be of immense help. Thanks to all the “niche-bloggers” who perform this painstaking duty with all social responsibility.

Do you read any particular blog(s) regularly? Is it in your habit? » Read more: Develop Habit of Reading Blogs

What You Want to Blog About?

February 25th, 2010

Blogging is an effective tool for your personal benefits. The benefits could be in form of business promotion or successful communication with network establishment. But above all it is the personal pleasure and enjoyment of blogging that will keep you blogging for a long period.

Successful bloggers admit that key to maintain a blog with all success is writing posts regularly. An expert blogger knows that the posts must be interesting as well. The enthusiasm for writing such interesting posts comes if you hold good command over the subject you are writing on. Therefore, “niche-blogging” is generally recommended by expert bloggers, unless someone is blogging exclusively for personal pleasure and wants to keep it up to himself only. » Read more: What You Want to Blog About?

Basics of Blogging:Blogging Terminology

February 23rd, 2010

A friend of mine asked me to explain some of the terms I used during our discussion regarding our future online project. These were in fact terms related with “blogging”. Being a newbie he was not able to catch them and understand.

This curiosity forced me to think about all others who intend to enter the “blogosphere” with their own blogs. Like every other activity and area of work “blogging’ is also a technique to express yourself and therefore it is obviously characterized by its own terminology.

The “blogosphere”, like any geek endeavor, is rife with its own nomenclature. I decided I’d try and define a few of the many “blogging- terms”, and I thought I might as well share the same with all of you (since many among my friends are still confused as to what exactly a “blog” is).  » Read more: Basics of Blogging:Blogging Terminology
