Blogging

I-blog mo

Sadyang natural na sa tao ang pagsusulat. Pero kung ikaw ang isa sa mga nabibigo ng magsulat sa mga napupunit, naluluma at maaring mawalang mga papel, mas mainam kung i-blog mo nalang.

Ang patuloy na pag-usbong ng teknolohiya ng Pilipinas ang nagbigay daan sa tinuturing isa sa pinakabagong pamamaraan ng komunikasyon sa pamamagitan ng internet, ang pagba-blogging.

Ang blog ay maituturing ding isang diary na naglalaman ng mga saloobin, pananaw at opinyun na kadalasang tumutukoy sa mga pampersonal na isyu. Maari rin itong maging isang album na naglalaman ng mga kalipunan ng mga larawan.

Ang blog ang sinasabing pinakabukas at libreng paraan, na nagbibigay kapangyarihan sa isang ordinaryong mamamayan na ipahayag at isalarawan ang isang pangyayari diretso mula sa paningin ng saksi.

Maari ring ang isang blog ay naglalaman ng mga kalipunan ng mga sanaysay, tula at kwento. Maliban dito, maari rin itong maging isang kalipunan ng iba’t ibang paksa katulad ng sa kalusugan, paglalakbay, kalikasan, ispiritwal o pampulitikal man na ninanais na isaliwalat ng may-akda o blogger nito.

“It (blogging) helps me to reach people beyond my verbal reach,” ani Badrud Doza, isang political blogger mula Bangladesh.

Nagiging interactive ang komunikasyon at nagkakaroon ng diskusyon sa pamamagitan ng pagdagdag ng mga mensahe at puna galing sa mga mambabasa.

Ang iba naman ay ginagawang pagkakitaan ang pagba-blog. Isang bagay na maaring gumana at maari ring hindi sa isang blogger.

Maaring malaman ng blogger ang pinagmulan at tagal ng pagbabasa ng kanyang mga mambabasa sa pamamagitan ng iba’t ibang statistics program. Kung gaano ka detalye ang program ay depende na sa program na ginamit.

Iilan lamang ito sa mga dahilan kung bakit marami ang mga nalolokong mag blog.

Ang blogging ay hindi lamang para sa mga baguhan. Pati mga prominenteng tao ay nahuhumaling dito. Maging si Bill Clinton man ay may sariling blog.

Hindi din hadlang ang edad. Bata man o matanda ay maaring magkaron ng blog basta’t may kapasidad itong maipahayag ang sarili at may sapat na kaalaman pagdating sa computer.

Nasa blogger ang desisyon kung nanaisin niyang gawin ang kanyang blog sa isang journal o pahayagan na format at pampubliko o pribadong account. Maliban sa pagsusulat, na-ipapakita din ng may-akda ang kanyang gawaing sining sa pamamagitan ng kabuuang tema at ayos ng blog.

Kung gusto mong mag-umpisa ng blog, maari kang mag-register sa mga libreng blog networks gaya ng wordpress, blogger at livejournal.

Sa pamagitan ng isang blog, malayang makapagpahayag ng saloobin ang isang blogger. Pero kakabit ng kalayaang ito, ang responsibilidad ng pagiging tapat sa sarili sa kung anu ang katotohanan at tama dahil sa pamamagitan ng internet, abot ng blog mo ang mundo.

How to create Website Traffic

I am tagging Faheem: click HERE
(Yeah. Let us enliven life with the power of positive thinking! I live by it everyday. We create our own environment. Our thinkings create words that goes out of our mouth, then it creates actions.)

With your question on how to create traffic. You can do a lot of things. You can post "posts with educational value." Example, the posts which create the most traffic in my page are about the topics i usually write for my school, e.g. literary criticisms, essays, etc... Probably because a lot are researching about it.

Another is by filling those "tags" in every section. Aside from that constant updates on the blog makes my readers kicking to open my site every time they're in front in the computer. Actually, i am embedding codes on my page so as to know/trace the readers. i think three programs are installed, but i am the only one who can access it. The numbers on the stat counter are false, they are not true.ahaha...

Constant updates can help. Like those blogs which are often updated are usually the ones which search engines like yahoo's, google's web crawlers dig and eventually by these networks' help, help other people trace us (and copy our blog's contents, smile).

I want you to know that google is searching not by the titles only but the the whole body and tags of the posts. Yahoo, on the other hand, is digging posts by "title." This means that bloggers should really mind on thinking "how to perfectly title each post." Is there a word like perfect title?

I want to do a lot of things with this blog, but i am still on the verge of finding my free time.

You can also submit your blogs to other networks like "dig" (but this doesn't work for me). Or others like mybloglog, technorati, etc.

About blogger's costumization. I can't promise if i can post the things i know about it and post it here. But for the sake of a lot of people who are asking me how, just live me a specific question. Then, let's see if i can help. Don't forget to live me a message on where will i send/placed my answers to your questions. Okey, it's better that way.

BTW, Wordpress costumization is another story. But wordpress is also cool. It's fast. And header costumization is simple. But again because the costumization thing takes time and perseverance (And a little knowledge of editing). So, Go endure!
