The Future of Blogs

There is the possibilty that you can read this site on an e-paper instead of on your computer. It would then be updated as soon as we publish a new article–automatically. Star Trek fans have been talking about it for decades. Is it a reality today? Xeros seems to think so. If Xerox thinks so that means that they will invent and then be unable to make money off it. Pretty soon we will see actual copies sold by Sony and Samsung at Walmart….at a profit.   Thirty-five years in the...Read Full Story

“Hi, my name is Steve, and I’m a blogger (this is where you say, “ Hi Steve, and welcome” )  & today I celebrate my 1st day of reintroducing myself. “ Steve looks sheepishly around the blogosphere and wonders what he’s supposed to say next, with all these eyes peering at him.  The moderator, being the great spokesperson that he is says, “So, how long’s your blog been around, Steve?”  Steve hesitates as he’s one who always ponders the intent of any question directed at him.  In his life...Read Full Story

I did a little experiment, by adding the links to recent keyword searches from my StatsCounter account to the bottom of my posts, in each of my many blogs, as of December 24, 2007.

Immediately I saw a difference, but I decided to put it down to the holidays and many people getting new computers for Christmas. But...Read Full Story

What you write should be inspirational to your readers.  When they get finished reading what you wrote they should want to act in the manner you were directing them. How do you achieve this you ask?

And this is often overlooked by many bloggers.  Use comments as a way of elaborating an idea into an entire post.   There is a lot of quality material left in the comments areas of popular blogs. Some of these posts will have hundreds of comments and tons of new and exciting topics that you can write about. Comments are usually peoples opinions and will offer new perspectives on topics that you may have otherwise overlooked.  This is...Read Full Story

ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ) has just approved key proposals to relax the rules on domain names which opens the way for more customization and flexibility. Domain names will now be allowed to use any combination of letters and numbers, including non-Latin characters.

So instead of .com we may be seeing .blog, .xxx or .sex to identify a...Read Full Story
