Technorati’s Top Place Usurped by a Japanese Blog

I just surfed on to the Technorati top 100 5 minutes ago and I noticed this. Engadget is #2? And number one is WHAT? cururu.jp? … and it has 187 thousand blogs linked to it? No way. Something’s wrong, and something has to be fixed. Check out the links to the blog. If not, it [...]

The blogosphere is a global chatroom

Have you ever thought - what is so great about the blogosphere? Why isn’t there the “website-osphere” when people were starting to build personal websites, or “IM-opshere” or “IRC-osphere” when these things were hot? Why blogosphere? It all boils down to feelings, human relations, and how amazing it is to be able to connect with people [...]

Building an Authoritative Blog in Technorati

First, I just like to say I got to know about this from Micro Persuasion - Steve Rubel’s Blog. I really admire many of the bloggers out there, being able to keep up to date with all the latest reports and stuff. Anyways, Steve bought out that Technorati recently released their State of Blogosphere report, [...]

Fortune 500 Blog Review: Harrah’s Entertainment

Okay, I shall continue with my blog review for the Fortune 500 Blogs Project, and today I will be investigating on Harrah’s Entertainment! Harrah’s operates casinos and hotels, so the front line people do have direct contact with their customers, unlike the auto manufacturers or manufacturers of products like shampoo … or the likes where the [...]

Installing WordPress MU on a CPanel/WHM Server

I was encountering some difficulties installing WordPress MU 1.0 using different subdomains, and I finally figured it out after some time, so I thought I’d do a walkthough to help fellow MU-wannabes. I think its important, first to understand that different web hosts use different admin control panel systems, and mine is using CPanel/WHM. [...]

Alexa Traffic Rankings Interface Improved

I surfed on to the Alexa website today, only to find a neat surprise. They have changed the look of the traffic details page a little, now with rounded corners and all the Web 2.0-ish look. The traffic ranking graph now also uses AJAX, so it behaves really Web 2.0-ish (i.e. screen updates [...]

Help me lower the rate of blogger burnouts!

We all work really hard every day to research and publish the most wonderful articles for our readers, and I can already feel the satisfaction when your blog gets read, when you get comments, and when people start coming in and telling you “Thanks! Neat Stuff!” I’m very inspired by the authors of [...]

How do you start blogging?

You are confused, you don’t know how blogs work, you don’t know what a trackback is, don’t know how to meddle with plugins, don’t know how to upload images, don’t know about comments, don’t know about Technorati, don’t know about feeds, don’t know don’t know about everything! How do you start? The answer: Just create [...]

Social Bookmarking Icons

Problogger Darren Rowse recently wrote a post about having those social bookmarking icons at the bottom of every blog post, and if they are worthwhile. He was referring to another post by 37 signals, which advocates quality content. But really, social bookmarking is a crazy thing now on the Internet. You have Digg, Reddit, [...]

Alexa Ranking Up!

I’m actually quite reluctant to post this (because I think too much of ranking updates might let the cat out of the bag and portray how vain and egoistic I am :D), but I really want to log my blogging progress. My Alexa Ranking has gone up in 2 days, the jump this time [...]
