Read other blog.

By reading other people blog, you would have to know that people behind the blog better. You know how is their way of thinking. You can implemented their thinking into your blog.  A lot of people have a lot of different styles in presenting their blog. Some of the features in their blog might appeal you. Then, you can ask them nicely where did they get that  widget / plugin or other that you like from. Remember, to appreciate their blog, before asking them a favor. And you don’t need to read all  blogs in the blogosphere. Just find blog that are in a similar in niche with you. BlogCatalog and Technorati could help you.

Pay Youtube a visit

Sometime, if you feel very lazy and bored, go to youtube. Mesmerized and enlighten yourself with a lot of funny, hilarious video, that are sometime real , sometime pretended to be real. It will surely cheered you up. You tube is the best medicine they said.Haha. Remember to post in your website and do a little bit of explanation of what happen in that video. Sharing goes a long ways.

Post something different

Writing an article need a lot of patient. Writing an article in the same topic would somehow bored you, and probably your reader. Doing a same thing everyday, would create a sort of tiredness. Mental block is imminent. So, why don’t we post something totally different? It will show your reader that you are aware of the things happen around the world. It will also show you reader that you has read a lot of blog that encompass a lot of topic. Reading  various topic of blogs would increase your level of awareness and also your integrity.

Why? Sometime, on being different,we  can produce great result. Life is not only consist of one color. It consist of at least 7 colors. It is the same with blogging. Sometime, talking about something totally different from what your blog is, could create some sort of attraction to your viewer. People are eager to see something different. But do not sue me if you interpret my view of different in a totally wrong understanding and then get caught because doing something stupid along the way.

Different

Let us go back to to our childhood life. We tend to give more attention and emphasis to different thing.  Different do attract  people. Look at Mark Zuckerberg. His different is on how he perceive people and communication. He was an udergradaute in Harvard. His diferences lie in the way he think. Anyone must be familiar with the facebook right. Not the new facbook, but the facebook when you were a high shcool student. It was like a way student communicate and knowing each other. His revolutionary ideas had made facebook, one of the most famous social networking portal in the world. It is worth about 30 billion USD.That are really huge for God sake.

Hope we can all learn something from him. Remember, impossible is just an excuse. You can be what you wish to be. Being different  is the way today.

Writing an article can be a fun way to share your thoughts across the blogosphere. You can write a lot of things that happen around you or something that interesting you the most. The last thing that every writer should be worried of is copy writing. Imagine your article had been plagiarized. It must be really bad isn’t it? The worst thing is that, you cannot claim that the article is yours. Worst thing happen is when you are being penalized because other writer claims that the work you have done is theirs. That is really bad. So how can you settle this problem?

After surfing the internet, I have finally found this useful widget that can help you copyrighted your materials, picture, article or anything. As long that the materials belong to you, you can be assured that whoever copy your article, you can sued them legally ( If it is your intended action, but ,if you just want to do it nicely, just asked them to remove it from their blog, only if they fail to do so, it is your choice in choosing to sue them ).

By having the Myfreecopyright icon in your website, it will somehow, show you are genuine with your content. It will also encourage visitor to read more from your article because they believe that the content of your website is original. Goggle crawler will also please to crawl your website. Like I said in my previous post, post something that would appeal both search engine and your main customer that is your visitor.

LightShot add on

LightShot add on is one of the add on that is very useful for every blogger. What is the useful feature of LightShot? LightShot add on work a little bit like the Print Screen feature on your keyboard. The different is that, whenever you find something useful in the internet, whether texts, pictures, videos or anything on your desktop, it can be catch by this add on. Yes, everything. But you have to remember; that this add on will only save your work in the form of .png. It means, in the picture mode.

You can use the picture to be inserted in your blog. One of the features that I like with this add on is that, there are twitter and facebook icon in the crop area. So, when we crop anything in the internet, we can tweet it or post it on our social bookmarking site. We can share anything in the web with our friend easily and fast. Awesome!

This add on is easy to use. You can download this add on here. This add on is currently only available in Mozilla.

LightShot

You do not have to do your cropping manually. Before this, when I want to catch something on the web, I will have to print screen the whole sentences or pictures, then paste it inside word processor. After that, I have to do the cropping, to find the exact phrases that I want to use. Copy it, and then paste it to my desired blog. A lot of steps involved here. By LightShot add on, it is only a click away. Finally, you can spend your precious time with other important thing; creating your content.
