Blogging Basics
June 21, 2008 by Leave a Comment
If writing is an art, blogging is could be defined as art too. The people who are really into blogging are the ones who are artistic in their own way. They carefully choose words that would best describe their feelings, sentiments, wishes, desires, and everything else. These types of blogs sometimes go rather well with the people reading them. They feel as if the know the author of the blog.
Basically, blogs were first introduced online as weblogs. This was in the mid 1990’s. They were referred to as “server’s log file.” It was created when web logging hit the virtual market. Web logging as it was called, gradually saturated the virtual community making the Internet a great source of information. However, with web logging, you still need a web site and your own domain. With blogging, you do not need your own website or domain. You just need to signup with a blog provider, which there are many that are free of charge. Don’t get me wrong, you can still have it all too. You can have the domain and blog in one package. [Read more...]
Scratchback – My Fancy Tip Jar
May 29, 2008 by Leave a Comment
Have you heard of Scratchback? It is a cool tip jar plugin for WordPress. It’s not new, I seen it back in February. It is new to this blog though. If you look in the menu bar to the right, you will see a orange graphic “Are You In My Top Spots”. What this does is allow you to leave me a tip for my blog and get a link back to your site at the same time. The plugin is very easy to use too. You go to their site and signup for a FREE account. Then you create a widget for your blog. You will be given some code to place on your blog and you are ready to roll. In just a few minutes, you can have your own tip jar on your blog too!
When you receive a tip, you will receive 90% and Scratchback gets 10%. Sounds pretty fair to me. I have seen this plugin on many other blogs with the spots filled up, so it works!
Need Content For Your Blog?
May 18, 2008 by 2 Comments
I am one that knows from personal experience that sometimes it is hard to find topics for content for your blog. There will be times when you can’t seem to find anything to blog about. One thing I do is keep a folder in my bookmarks for my blogs. When I come across something interesting online that might work with one of my blogs, I bookmark that page to come back to later. I actually have quite a few websites in my bookmarks for ideas.
One of the best ways to find content for your blog is to bookmark and subscribe to blogs in your niche. I have a folder in my bookmarks called “Blogs I Like”. This is where all the blogs I like to read are kept. Now my list sometimes gets big so when a blog stops updating or providing content I like, I remove it. I try to visit these blogs often to get ideas and also leave comments to help gain incoming links to my blogs. When you find a post you like, you might want to use it for an idea or write about it and use a trackback in your post.

Paid To Blog Resource List
March 21, 2008 by 18 Comments
One of the easiest ways to make money from home is blogging. I have found that setting up a blog and generating income from it is easy and sometimes can be fun. You can make money with your blog from companies that pay you to write sponsored posts and/or add text links to your posts. These companies gives us moms a great way to make some extra money for our families. There are many moms that stay at home and are looking for a way to make some extra cash and by creating a blog they can generate money and maybe even a good amount of it. Of course you will want to create a blog that has some good content and not filled up with paid and sponsored ads. Why do these companies pay you to write? They believe that blogs are a way to produce content that is viewed by both the search engines and potential visitors that convert to customers. Website owners are looking for more exposure to their site so they will pay for sponsored posts or links on your blog to generate a buzz and link back to their website.
I have made money with a few of these programs and highly recommend blogging if you enjoy writing. You can also generate income through affiliate programs, advertising, products, etc. I thought I would create a list of websites that you can earn money with for writing and blogging. If you don’t have a blog, you might be interested in a post I created on another blog of mine titled “How To Start Blogging“.
