By: Marie Ynami
Microblogging has been the "hottest" thing these days in cyberworld. What is it exactly? Well, the shortest and simplest definition I can think of is that microblogging is like text messaging except - instead of sending your text to just one person, you are sending it for cyber-world to see. Note though that you have an option of having your microblog posts available to everyone on the web or a selected private group.So ... how do you microblog? While a traditional blog requires you to log-in and post your entries online, you can "microblog" using both your cell phone or your computer - thus microblogging presents that benefit of portability. One thing to remember though - microblogging only allows you to blog brief posts (usually limited to 140 to 200 characters) at a time. So before you start typing your post, you need to really think about how you can make the most out of your words. You can microblog as often as you want as long as you do not post spam. You can even build a following or your own microblogging community. You can connect with other microbloggers and get quick replies to your microblog posts. The fun thing about microblogging is that you can send your messages in text, audio or even video. Below are some advantages of microblogging:- It is very easy to post your thoughts in cyberspace using microblogging. Microblog to share your events, promote your business or just to share links worth checking out.- You can build your own community by microblogging and have others subscribe to your feed - a great way to promote yourself. You can then make a connection with others.- Microblogging is portable. You can use your cell phone and still be connected to your community even if you are on the go. - You can microblog using text, audio or even video so there are a lot of possibilities here - you can let your creativity come out!- The fact that there is a 140-200 character limit in microblogging, you do not have to worry about providing lots of content in your microblog post.There are some disadvantages too and they are listed below:- It can be really addicting and if you do not use it properly, it could be a great time waster.- If you are not careful about what your post on your microblog - for example posting about your "ideas", your subscribers can easily "adopt one of your ideas and pass it as their own".- If you work online and are microblogging for the most part of the day, it can be really disctracting and it can take away your focus on projects that you need to complete.

Mon, 31 Dec 2007 03:13:00 +0000 - Get Yourself Started In Blogging - The Right Way
by: Bruce Tucker
As of September 2007, more than 106 million blogs have been tracked which makes one wonder just what blogging is.Blogging is that wonderful world where you can write your personal thoughts about what you think on any subject imaginable, whether good or bad, with or without anonymity, although in reality anonymity really doesn’t exist when it come to the Internet. Your website, your email has an ISP address which is easily traceable to any given computer.
In general, blogs are articles you write and post on the web for the entire world to see. Your blog puts you, your thoughts in the forefront, which lets others see your brilliance or idiocy. You can have your own website dedicated to your thoughts, or you can respond to a particular article that has been written which allows you to voice your opinion about the subject or article, although use tact when responding. Most news media allowing you respond to a written article requires you to provide a valid email address in order for you to make a comment.
Most subscribers to the Internet post there blogs on personal web pages or websites their ISP provides. Other bloggers post their comments on the multitude of websites available for posting their thoughts, usually indexed by subject. To find a blog site, simply type “blog/s” in any search engine and behold you will find thousands of blog sites you can read or post.
Methods for blogging vary which you should consider before doing any posting. Blogging in response to a particular article, as well as posting on dedicated blog sites are permanent blogs, in that they can not be changed once posted. With that in mind, you really need to think about what you want to say before posting your thoughts. It’s somewhat like making a comment, once spoken it can’t be undone.
The other side of posting on an open blog site is the libel issue. At present, blog sites are not libel for what you say, so use caution when blogging.
The other method of blogging is to have your own website or page where you write your own blog. Using this method, you can edit your blog, write about another subject or simply delete the blog entirely. This method in my opinion is perhaps the safest method of blogging, but there is a caveat to this method. When you write something on your computer using a word processor and save the document, even if you delete the article, or document, it still resides on your computer and unless you completely reformat or destroy the hard drive, it remains on you computer forever. If someone wants to prove you wrote the article, with the proper software they can retrieve it.
You may wonder if blogging is without peril. That depends. If you are blogging about your Aunt Tilly’s super fruit cake recipe, you’re safe, but if you’re blogging about a politician, an organization, the government, religious leaders, a company, an individual, you need to be careful about what you have to say, as you just might be libel. Presently, in the US, the courts are undecided about blogging, weighing in on the free speech side of the argument, however; individuals have been imprisoned and/or fined for their blogs.
To be safe when blogging, it’s important to use the correct adjectives, or follow the method the news media use when writing an article. Words like; alleged, subject to, suspected of, and the like may keep you out of trouble. Although, innuendos you make can been seen as an attack, an accusation, by some very sensitive people and they just might decide to take action against you.
Even when using safe words, that doesn’t mean you’re not going to suffer the consequences for your big mouth. Many states have what is known as; “The Right To Work Law,” which simply means employers can fire an employee for any reason, or for no reason. Individuals have been fired from their jobs for posting blogs about their company.
Many blogs are instructional in nature from how to grow a tree, wash a cat to building an explosive device. Here again you need to be careful. Those blogs about explosive devices just might cause a visit from a federal agency. Unfortunate as it is, when it comes to blogging, “Big Brother Is Watching!”

Tags is simply a word you use to describe a post. You can think of tags as keywords or labels.You make up tags when you need them and you can use as many as you like.

Wed, 12 Dec 2007 01:26:00 +0000 - How to add a third column to your templateHaving a third colum template for your blog can be very helpful so that you can add more widget and add more advertisement to it.There's a lot of available template that you can get in the internet but have you ever wonder how they make it? In this post I will show you an example of how you can add a third column to your template and lets have the minima blogger template design as an example since it has a very simple structure and anyone can follow the following steps in adding a third column to your template.
Step 1. Sign in to your blogger acount and go to the edit HTML. Try to be familiar with the codes and look for something that look like this.
#main-wrapper {
width: 410px;
float: left;
word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */ overflow: hidden; /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */
}
#sidebar-wrapper {
width: 220px;
float: right;
word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */ overflow: hidden; /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */
}
Step 2. Now you need to change the #sidebar-wrapper to #right-sidebar-wrapper for you to be able to add another column which we will name as #left-sidebar-wrapper. Your code will now look like this.( The new code is added to just above the #main-wrapper code)
#left-sidebar-wrapper
{width: 220px;
float: left;
word-wrap: break-word;
overflow: hidden;
}
#main-wrapper {
width: 410px;
float: left;
word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */ overflow: hidden; /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */
}
#right-sidebar-wrapper {
width: 220px;
float: right;
word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */ overflow: hidden; /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */
}
Step 3. In order for the 3rd column to fit in your template you need to change the size of it because another 220px is added to your template. Again look for this codes in your HTML and change the width 660 to 860.
#header-wrapper {
width:660px;
margin:0 auto 10px;
border:1px solid $bordercolor;
}
#outer-wrapper {
width: 660px;
margin:0 auto;
padding:10px;
text-align:left;
font: $bodyfont;
}
Step 4. Now that you have finished defining a third column to your template. Your are almost ready you just need to add one last code and again do not forget to change the sidebar to right-sidebar. Try to look for the code below.
(Do not forget to change sidebar to right-sidebar so that it will look like this)
Step 5. Now Add the code below just above the
and save your template.When you view your page element section a new column is now ready for you to add your widgets.
