Blogging IS Writing

Posted by Jaren as Blog Tutorial, Creating a Blog, Opinion, Submissions, Terminology, Tips, Writing Blogging is often taken as informal writing. While this may be true, it does not mean that it is okay for a blogger to disregard writing rules. It’s bad enough that Internet sources are not considered as scholarly, and it’s worse that there are sites that prove it right – because of poorly written articles.

If you want to keep a good blogging reputation, better start with the technicalities of writing. When writing your posts, it ...

Initialisms DUH?

Posted by Jimmy as Terminology, Writing We live in an SMS world nowadays. Everywhere you go you'll see people on their phones - not making calls, but texting. With the popularity of texting (and chatting) it is no wonder that initialism has boomed. If you're wondering what initialism means it is simply abbreviating phrases by using the first letter of each word on the phrase.

Plain Wording and SEO

Posted by Guru as Marketing and Search Optimization, SEO Features, Terminology, Writing In my last post I talked about the importance of targeting your niche market by using more specific keywords. By using specific terms instead of just generic ones you are able to get more traffic from search users that these terms bring. In Mark Jackson's article on "Optimizing Pages for New and Improved Search Engine Users" you will see just why targeting your niche market will benefit you.

Changing Your WordPress Permalinks

Posted by Phillip as Blog Tutorial, Linking, Terminology, Tips

When I’m opening a Wordpress blog (I’ve done so a dozen or more times), one of the first things I do is to change the permalink structure. “Permalink” (a portmanteau of “permanent” and “link”) means the URL or web address of your blog posts, pages, categories, archives, and so on.

When you install a Wordpress blog, it uses URLs that sport question marks and numbers. This isn’t the optimal permalink structure; here’s why:
