20 Things About Blogging

Let’s start…

  1. Many people use WP, but they don’t know how to use it. Urgh. And oh, there is a new WP release (version 2.1.2). All users of WP are encouraged to upgrade their installation/s ASAP!
  2. Use Technorati to track your blog’s current rank in the blogosphere. But keep in mind that we don’t blog for rank.
  3. Google’s Blog Search indexes most of the blogs in the blogosphere. Try using it if you can’t find something relevant to your search in the main Google search. You can also use Technorati for searching blogs.
  4. I sometimes have a cross-post at LJ (add me), Multiply, WordPress.com, and Blogspot. These are four sites that you may want to use if you can’t host your own blog.
  5. Publishing an RSS feed is very helpful to your readers.
  6. Use Google’s Reader to subscribe to RSS feeds.
  7. Using WP? There are tons of plugins for it. Try to use some. Here is a list of the plugins that I use.
  8. Publishing your feeds? Use FeedBurner for more functionality.
  9. For WP users, you might want to read this article if you wanted to optimize your site for search engines.
  10. Blogs are powerful.
  11. Be careful with what you right on your blog. Remember, a blog is public, unless you make it private.
  12. Youngblood is a column in the PDI, but once you read it, you might get addicted to it because the topics that were discussed in the column are very random, it’s as if you were reading a real blog.
  13. You can earn money just by blogging! Please put harry07[at]gmail[dot]com as your referrer. Thanks!
  14. This is my first paid website, and it is powered by WP.
  15. Want to read more blogs written by Filipinos? Click here.
  16. Looking for somebody to host your WP blog? You can ask me about this.
  17. I posted my first ever blog entry (dated May 04, 2004) in Xanga.
  18. Two of the earliest Filipino bloggers that I met are still alive and kicking: Shari and KT. Lol.
  19. Blogging is simply addictive like coffee.
  20. The biggest issue that I know in the blogosphere has something to do with Manny Pacquiao. Okay. I’m zipping my mouth.

I intended to make this a 101 list, but I can’t. I’ve already ran out of ideas to write. Do you have something more to add? I’ll post them.
