Blogging and Communication

Posted by Jaren as Editorials, Opinion, Tips Blogging is both an endeavor of creativity and communication. Communication as we know it, can be defined in a very broad sense involves not only written (blogs) and oral speech (podcasts), but also music, the pictorial arts, audio-video, and in fact all human behavior, and yes it can even be relating our point of view on a certain thing, an idea or our wants.

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.

Blogging, Blogging and more Blogging

Posted by Jaren as Blog Tutorials News, Editorials, Writing Procrastination is a common problem of all people, in particular, bloggers. Sometimes, we get lost in our research and end up surfing the net for things that are totally unrelated to what we’re supposed to write about. Other times, we just put off writing altogether.

Because I'm cramming to meet my blog deadlines, and it's all my fault because I have been procrastinating, slacking, bumming and whatever you would like to call it. And now I've learned my lesson. I will NOT PROCRASTINATE any ...

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.

Single Big Blog vs. Numerous Niche Blogs? Or Both?

Posted by J. Angelo as Blog Tutorial, Community Building, Editorials, SEO Features, Tips Over at Performancing, Ahmed Bilal posts about the argument between running one big blog about a wide array of topics, or numerous blogs that focus on specific niches. He presents the pros and cons to both. A single big site benefits from economies of scale, is cost-effective, allows for a focused use of resources, requires less manpower to manage, can easily dominate search engine rankings in the long run, and can perhaps earn more revenue thanks to direct advertising deals. On the other hand, if you have several small sites, it is easier to build a passionate user-base, it's easier to be ...
