A Blogger’s Life is Enriched by Real Life

Posted by BloggurlNeedzRehab as Blog Tutorial, Tips, Writing The “real world” is such a great inspiration for the blogger. When the sun rises on me, I marvel at its beauty, and I would like nothing more than to be able to share it with someone. When something happens to me on my way to a mall, I would like to talk about it. And these nuggets of inspiration are what a blogger needs to enrich his/her blogging life. A blogger’s life is composed, not only of the blogging/posting load, not only of the orders he/she can fill, but also of the rest of existence that fuel it.

Best Practices for the Blogger from BlogGurl’s Follies

Posted by BloggurlNeedzRehab as Blog Tutorial, Tips, Writing There are attitudes that a blogger must adapt to have a successful blogging career, and I have to tell you that I had learned most of these, by doing the exact opposite of what I advise here, now. I usually learn by making the biggest, most fatal mistakes first, then realizing my follies later. So all set to learn from the knee-scrapes I personally got? Game on... After the “More” button. :p

Gadgets A Blogger Needz Part 2

Posted by BloggurlNeedzRehab as Blogging Tools When it comes to tools and gadgets needed to keep a blogger happily typing away, one needs to look no further than the trusty all-in-one cellphone. Sometimes, we think that we may need all these tools: the Flip Video camera for vlogging, or a decent digicam like the Sony DSC series cams. But little do we realize that one trusty cellphone would be enough for your blogging, and even vlogging needs.

A Blogger’s Responsibility

Posted by BloggurlNeedzRehab as Community Building, Editorials, Opinion, Tips, Writing One of the greatest things that the Internet has brought to writers is that they had been given the freedom to express themselves, sans the strictures and the censorship that editors can bring them. But there are downsides to this freedom, too. Because anyone can very well say anything to the general public, and a lot of people tend to take everything at face value, the Internet had, at some point, needed some cleanup. While it would definitely take a discerning eye to watch out for truth vs. fiction on the Internet, there are days when I actually want to tear down some sites, because they present misleading and even downright erroneous information. That is why, as a blogger, you have the responsibility to present facts from reputable sources.

The Wonders of Multiply

Posted by BloggurlNeedzRehab as Blog Tutorial, Syndication, Writing I have made quite a few discoveries since my last appearance on the blogosphere, and one of them is the beauty of blogging on Multiply.com. To the uninitiated, Multiply.com is a social networking blog community that offers much more than an avenue for bloggers to converge and converse, while also offering file hosting services, all for free!

2007 was good, and I know 2008 will be GREAT!

Posted by BloggurlNeedzRehab as Editorials, Tips, Writing It’s the night before New Year and as is the tradition for most people to make resolutions, I’m making New Year’s blog resolutions of my own. :) I think that blogging as a craft has to be perfected over time, and there is always room for improvement. I think that the same tenacity that one should apply in trying to survive life should be applied to blogging also. Over time, I had gotten more shrewd with my decisions and I’m starting to form a business paradigm for myself. Blogging and making a living are inextricably linked in my book, so it’s gone from mere playing with words and content managing software of control panel software like Wordpress’ or Blogger’s. It’s become the ultimate grown-up game for me: finding a paradigm that suits me, formulating MY own system, and talking my hours away through writing.
