Hello readers...Today I will use this space in my blog to talk about something that has nothing to do with my style...yes, School assignment. So lets Rock n' Roll and start with this snazzy topic.
1) Define the following terms:
Blog: A blog is basically a website where you can post your stuff. Even though nobody cares and it's preposterous. It appears in chronological order, starting from the newest post to the older posts.
Blogging: The act of writing a post for a blog.
Blogger: A person who writes content for a blog.
Blogosphere: The online community of blogs and bloggers.
2) Describe in no more that 15 words the world before blogs
The internet used to be a place for gathering information. When blogs came, they became interactive and everyone could share their feelings and ideas.
3) What year the blogs started?
The late 90's When Nirvana was dying and the grunge culture began to write stupid music.
4) How many blogs are today?
About a 100 million blogs...but to be more precise as of July 2007 there are 200,407,112 blogs in the world...
5) Describe in no more that 15 words the future of blogs
In the future Blogs will become more powerful and companies and people will pay more attention.
6) Read the "
Before You Start a Blog Determine if Blogging is Right for You" and
"Essential Requirements to Starting a Successful Blog" links, to determine if you meet at least half + 1 of the conditions and requirements to know if blogs are for you, if the answer is YES, give at least 1 personal reason, if your answer is NO give at least 1 personal reason.
The answer is...YES! because I don't care what people has to say about my Ideas, I know I'm right and you common people are wrong. I want to tell the World how I feel...blah blah blah7) Read the
"Top 10 Reasons to Start a Blog" link, then organize the reasons starting from the most important, in no more than 30 words state why did you specify that organization., e.g: The organization must be 1)4, 2)6, 3)7, 4)2,.................. because
Lets begin Shall we...
1) 1. To express your ideas and opinions
2) 6. To make a difference
3) 7. To stay active in a field
4) 10. Have fun and be creative
5) 5. To connect with people like you
6) 4. To establish yourself as an expert
7) 2. To market or promote something
8) 3. To help People
9) 8. To stay connected with friends and family
10) 9. To make Money.
I chose this organization because It's the one I'm using to make my Blog, I don't want any money out of this...but if you want to donate I can always add a Paypal Button, and I just use it to express my ideas and opinions(Although, they are always right so they aren't opinions after all).
8) Let's say you have to start a project or main homework in other subjects (science, maths, etc) so you are going to complete it using the Blogs technology, using the "
Top ten Tips for Begginers Blogger" link state what would be your blog features. Example:
1) Define Goals: My goals would be .........................
2) Define Audience: My audience will be .......................
3) Consistent: I'm going to apply the consistent concept by doing.............
etc, etc (10 tips)
Lets answer this little one over here...ok so
1) Define your goals: My goals are to reach the people and share my interest and my way of thinking. Therefore to state my opinion (It's always right so I shouldn't be calling them "Opinions")
2)Define Audience: My audience will be smart and mature people that understand about the stuff I write.
3) Consistent: I will apply this concept by making my blog as pretty as it can get. Instead of using awkward schemes I tend to keep it sweet and simple.
4) Be persistent: Ok this one is a bit hard to mantain. Since I have a million stuff to do i.e. Sleep, play guitar, sleep again, eat and play games, whenever I have free time I upgrade my blog so keep an eye on my blog if anything happens.
5) Be inviting: I don't invite...people Follow me, they know I'm stubborn so what? can't they take a little bit of coldness? therefore...I don't use this one.
6) Be Visible: ...I am visible.
7) Take risks: I'm all about risks Baby!
8) Ask For help: I do ask for help...my mate Sam helped me with the layout and the nifty Icon you see in the bookmark thing, he also supports my blog (be sure to check his blog) and I also get help from my teacher.
9) Keep Learning: I apply this one every day since...Every day I learn something.
10) Be Yourself: ...I am unique and special (Yes I have a huge ego) therefore I'm as good as it gets, take it or not.
Ok now lets go on with our next question! Question 9!
9) Based on question 8 and by reading the "

Ok then, I use this Blog JUST for a Hobby so I don't write that much, It's just whenever I have free time in my hands i.e. Almost NEVER, I'm lying...actually on sundays I tend to blog. Therefore I am in "Slower Growth"
10) Read the "

The blog Post Title, Publication Date and Comment Station I feel those are the basics, unless you want to add some images
11) Read the "

12) Again, based on the "

Choose the appropiate Tone Since you must choose your audience this is important, Be honest because I want to give a point and show how much I kick ass and finally Don't list links, because this is annoying.
