Tips and Tricks on Blogging

Some of my friends who maintain blogs asked me what I am doing to maintain a blog. So I thought of writing a posting will be helpful than answering all the questions individually.

I will list down almost all the tips and tricks that I can remember so far.

  1. Content: - When I am reading on how to make a good blog all the guys say that you should give good content (postings). How to write good content is the problem I face. What I am doing is I writing what I feel that hard to find using Google or if I found some new way or if I simply do something then I will write about that. And the main concern is to write more than 200 words on a posting otherwise Google will ignore it. More on boost blog traffic.
  2. Customizing the theme: - A blog theme should be customized. It is like a theory. Otherwise it will look like a same ordinary blog. The user who comes to read your blog should feel that you are out of (extra) ordinary. You can easily find some good themes by just searching on Google. More on Customizing Blog and Some More.
  3. Analytics tool: - I use Google analytics and it works fine and gives me a lot of information about the visitors. It is pretty much easy to put that on your blog also. More on Google analytics.
  4. Google adsense:-I'm not that good on making money online. But I have added the adsense. Anyway I have earned about 150$s so far. What you have to do is just make the background, Text and Links same as the other parts on your blog.
  5. Make Labels:-Categorizing the postings is a good thing. Still I am finding a good way to do that. It makes easy to maintain the posting and to identify on what you should write more. I think I have to make new set of categories and sort all my postings. So far I have 90 posting published on this blog.
  6. Write More about Google:-I don't know why but I just browse through my blog posting and found that I write most of the postings about Google. I have no idea why I am doing it. I think I have to write about JavaScript more because the functions and syntax on JavaScript is hard to find and hard to remember (for me).
  7. Subscription:-Make it easier to subscribe to your blog. I believe the visitors who want to subscribe are most valuable visitors because they will come back again. Make a Subscription available.
  8. Networks:-Registering the blog on networks is a good thing to make sure your blog is reachable. In the left side panel of this blog you can see a lot of links to those sites and if you need them please use them.
  9. Google webmaster: - About 85% of the visitors are coming via Google search to my blog. The best thing to make it listed on Google is to use Google Webmaster. It will make easier to control how to be paged and also you can give the site map to it. It was hard to find a way for me to get a sitemap for my blog and finally I've found what we (bloggers) have to do is submit the RSS feed URL.
  10. Add Some cool features:-Adding some really cool gadgets make you feel good. What I am doing is testing a lot of them and if I feel it is worth then it will be there appearing on my blog. As you can see I have added a gadget (on right top corner) to direct chat with me.

I think I have listed all the things I am doing on this blog. Please if you have more information or any good blog please share it with me.

Google API v3 with PHP using Blogger service

It was really hard for me to understand how the Google APIs are working at the first point and took few days for me to figure out. But after a successful working prototype it seems very easy. And also when I am searching for a simple example I was unable to find a good one that I can understand. So let me list down step by step what I have done with URLs and as simple as I can. Create a Google app location -  https://code.google.com/apis/console Switch on the "Blogger API v3" Get the latest APIs client library for PHP location -  https://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/downloads/list Upload the files to your host location on on localhost Extract the files to folder  named "GoogleClientApi" Create your php file outside of the folder  Copy paste following code into the file and do the changes as needed  By changing the scope and the service object you can access all the services that is given by Google APIs through the PHP API library se

My two cents on new year resolution

What is the plan for the new year ? - need to think on what are we trying achieve during next year 2018 - basically the life goals - may be personal or professional - and also it should be realistic (not something like going to Mars ;)) Why we need a plan for the new year ? - basically a goal without a plan is a DREAM - And also should be able to measure (what you cannot measure, you cannot manage) How to prepare a new Year resolution/plan ? - Leave some buffer time - Make changes during the year (life is changing/evolving) - Plan is only for you (do not share it) - When a milestone is achieved, celebrate - Try to stick to the plan - otherwise no point of planing

Assets and Liabilities as Rich Dad, Poor Dad explains

I was reading "The rich dad poor dad by Robert Kiyosaki" here is a one point that he mentions on that. Basically Asset as he says is little bit different than on books. If something puts money in your pocket it is a asset. And Liabilities are the ones that takes money out of your pocket. OK for example a house or a car may seems like an Asset but it takes money out of you pocket to maintain them. But if you rent them or make them to make money at the end of the day you can convert it to a asset. Basically that what rich people do. They buy assets. Middle class buy liabilities (thinking those are assets) and stuff (a lot of them that not used or that not needed). Lower class buy to consume (basic needs like foods).
