Todays Tip is about Blogging.

A blog (a contraction of the term “web log“) is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (Art blog), photographs (photoblog), videos (Video blogging), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Microblogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.  – Wikipedia

These days there are blogs everywhere for everything, there is no subject that is not blogged about.  Everyone seems to blog about everything

Here are some popular resaons or subjects people blog about:

• SEO
• Personal Life
• Articles – News
• Product Reviews

I will get into what SEO is in a later post, but here is a short definistion of what SEO is.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site or a web page (such as a blog) from search engines via “natural” or un-paid (“organic” or “algorithmic”) search results as opposed to search engine marketing (SEM) which deals with paid inclusion. – Wikipedia

Many people like to blog about the latest news, and write article about their opinion about a certain category’s they enjoy like polictical, technology, etc.  Some even blog about websites they have visited, and found worth blogging about.

Product Reviews are one of the top reasons to blog. If you are creating a blog  for your e commerce store, this is a great way to gain buyers and visitors to your store sites.  You can blog about your products you sell and even get feedback/comments about those items. The more posts you have, the more people will find your site, and your products.

And the last top reason is your personal life.  Many people just love sharing their personal life on the internet, some of the biggest blogs on the interweb are people just talking about their personal life and what has happened to them.  And from what i have read and seen with these biggest bloggers is they make it big because they have had something traumatic happen in their life so people find ways to connect with them.

Here Are Some Popular Free Blogging Sites:

• WordPress
• Blogger – Blogspot

I will talk about each of these sites in a future post.

But those are just some of the many reasons people blog and what they blog about.

My personal reason i do it is for this site at least is for fun, i love find ways to help people and share my knowledge about the stuff i love doing.

That is it for this post, thanks for reading. Stay tuned for the next Tip.

Todays Internet Tip Is On “Firefox Add-ons”.

Firefox has come along way with how it runs and what it can do, it seems like i find a new and exciting feature or Add-on every day.  And since its “Open Source” that helps a lot with getting updates, new features and keeping it alive.

There are so many Add-ons out there, you can pretty much find a add-on that can do anything. The possibilities are endless.

List Of Popular Add-ons: Clicky

My Favorite Add-ons are:

• Firebug - Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page
• Cooliris - The Cooliris 3D Wall — Simply the fastest and most stunning way to browse photos and videos from the Web or your desktop. Effortlessly scroll an infinite “3D Wall” of your content from Facebook, Google Images, YouTube, Flickr, and hundreds more.
• Web Developer – The Web Developer extension adds a menu and a toolbar with various web developer tools.

I use these Firefox Add-ons everyday, most of all Firebug and Web Developer, as they help me with my every day jobs with creating websites, fixing broken code, pretty much anything to do with html,css,websites i use them on.

I will get into their features and what they can do in future posts.

Please feel free to comment on/promote/suggest your favorite Firefox Add-ons.
