Blogging in a blog community is a very good start for beginners
If you want to earn money by blogging, traffic is the most important thing. Here I will share you a secret how to get more readers with less effort. As the title above, you need to start to blog in a blogging community. You will get instant traffic because your blog is exposed to the other members of the network.
For example, Wordpress.com. I’ve written a blog with my friend in Wordpres.com and done nothing to advertise the blog. But the traffic is great! Publish your post frequently and you will see that your visitors will increase day by day. Then if you think you have already reached the number of readers you want, then move your Wordpress.com blog to your very own blog e.g. your dotCom blog.
Post a notice to the readers that you are moving. This works better if the readers subscribe to your site rss feed. Use Feedburner.com as your feed service because you can change your blog feed without losing your precious readers.
Another alternative is Orble.com. Orble is a blogging community with many hundreds of member blogs who work together to promote each other’s writing. It has about 2000 active members. A great site to start your blog. Moreover, Orble.com offers you to put your own Adsense ads on your blog. The ads will be rotated with Orble.com Adsense ads with ratio 1:1. That means your ads will be seen 50% of the page views.
Below is my first statistic on my blog on Orble.com on the first day. Quite impressive. My first post received 13 votes. I don’t know if this is the trick so that I continue blogging with them.
The most ideal part of this tips is when you can import all your database in Wordpress.com to your new Wordpress blog. But it is not possible. Besides, you are tied to the Wordpress.com rules, such as your blog must not be a commercial blog.
For me, this thing is not wrong but just doing thing the right way. What do you all think about this? Have you tried this trick before? Share your experiences with us!
iPod is not only to listen to music but to be blended!
Tom Dickson from WillItBlend.com had his own iPod blended to show the viewers the capabilities of the blender from Blendtec. At the end of the show, he said that maybe he will put his blended on eBay auction. I thought it was a joke, but he really did it. But the money will go to Primary Children’s Medical Center. At this time, the current bid is US $720.75 with 42 bidders. This is the eBay auction page.

To buy the powerful blender, here is the product page. But for such a powerful blender, it will cost you $399.95!
Blogger.com new version is out of beta
The new version of Blogger in beta is dead!
Long live the new version of Blogger!
(P.S. The old version of Blogger is not dead, but it would like to retire for a little while… maybe go to Hawaii or play World of Warcraft all day? It begs you to let it play World of Warcraft all day.)
Well done to the Blogger.com team! Blogger.com is now equipped with brand new functions, such as labels, drag-and-drop template editing, and privacy control. Labels work like categories in Wordpress. Besides, you can add more authors, so that more people can post to your blog.
Honestly said, publishing a blog using blogger.com is much easier compared to Wordpress.com due to its simplicity. A great free platform for a beginner blogger to begin. Besides, you can create and modify your blog theme without having to pay!
Blogger.com is now switching all the old blogger account to the new version, and you are on the line. But you can make it faster manually by clicking the ‘Switch Now’ button on the main page of Blogger.com
Now, blogger.com is at the same par to compete with Wordpress.com. In my opinion, Blogger.com has a little advantage because you can put your making-money layer, such as AdSense on Blogger.com, but not in Wordpress.com. Yes, Wordpress.com says no to commercial blogs.
