Gadgets A Blogger Needz Part 1

Posted by BloggurlNeedzRehab as Blog Tutorial, Blogging Tools, Tips

If carpenters have hammers, doctors have stethoscopes, what is the bloggerâ€™s trusty tool (aside from the computer)?

BlogGurlâ€™s answer: A digital camera.

I decided I needed a digital camera for my blogging life because of two things:

I wanted to capture the things I see in the â€œreal world,â€ and blog about them.
I wanted to catch videos of the things that I find interesting, and blog about them, aside from talking about them on YouTube or Revver.com.

When you run out of online finds to talk about and â€œrealâ€ or â€œofflineâ€ life proves to be more interesting, wouldnâ€™t you want to take a picture to capture a piece of what you saw and share it with the world?

THAT is the exact reason why I am currently working to get rid of the bills I have to pay and work on getting the money for my gadget wants. There is only one reason why I sniffle because I still donâ€™t have a decent digicam, and itâ€™s that I canâ€™t share my finds and my discoveries with the rest of the world.

I am innately a share-er, and thatâ€™s why I feel sad that I let go of my cam phone to give way to my momâ€™s desires. I had felt like the thing was weighing me down, because I seemed to derive my self-worth from it, and the annoyance at that realization led me to ditch my cam phone.

But now that Iâ€™ve dealt with the underlying feelings to a greater degree than before (I still feel like my old Panasonic GD 52 is being stared at when I go to gadget stores), I think I am ready for a new gadget, in order to be able to share what I see in real life with the blogosphere.

For me, if a blogger has a laptop and a digicam that can take videos, the blogger is all set to conquer the blogosphere!

Is Your Blog W3C Compliant?

Last night I checked my personal blog’s code hoping I can proudly display the W3C Validated Button. Since I use Blogger and do not really do anything to clean up the code (beyond adding Alt-tags to the images I embed) I wasn’t surprised at all to find that my blog contained lots of errors - [...]
