i have came through lots blogging website, and i want to create a blog but don`t know which one is more famous, like is which one is more popular myspace or blogger?

I have several different blogs for just as many reasons. One is private and I use it to keep up with private thoughts and feelings and it helps me to see what changes I have made and what worked and what didn’t work. I have a blog where I post photos for family and friends since we live quite far apart. Another blog is for keeping track of quotes, YouTube videos and sites that I find interesting. On here (360) I have my “speed” blog where I put down one or two liners now and then to reflect something that is going on at the time. Then I have a blog where I post short stories that I’ve written for my family to read. And my whine and feel sorry for myself blog that I delete posts in after a couple of months. It’s mostly there to let me rant and vent for a while.
The best part is that it is visual and interactive. It’s so much more fun with a living and dynamic blog and that paper book that you hide in a drawer.

i have a blogger account and i can only view the blogger homepage and login but i cant see my blog website… so i would like to know if some blog is unblocked in china (including individual sites). Thanks!!

I want to start a blog but i dont know how to use it to make money. Please can someone tell me how to start and st up an account and how do i get to recieve the money and who will be paying me

Does commenting on other blogs help my search engine ranking? Google’s ranking algorithm weighs heavily on relevant links back to your site. Since links back to your site help, wouldn’t it make sense that commenting and leaving your links everywhere would benefit your site? Not exactly.

In this recent video, Matt Cutts (Search Quality for Google) discusses the potential risks of allowing users to post comments with link spam on your blog. You have control over the content on your website, and if Google catches you linking to spammy websites, they’ll likely consider your website spammy as well.

He also touches on the reason Google typically doesn’t penalize your website for spammy in-bounds links. If Google penalized websites for any type of in-bound link(s), then competitors would be building the worst links possible to each other attempting to remove competition from the search results.

There are still plenty of blogs that do not add the rel=”nofollow” attribute to comment links. Why would a blog owner want to do this?

A dofollow blog comment link is a simple reward to users that add valuable comments and feedback. The blog owner gets valuable user-generated comment and the visitor who leaves a good comment gets a dofollow link. Most blogs that allow dofollow comment links strictly moderate those comments and links, so you’re not likely to get away with posting a link unless your comment contributes and adds value to the blog post.

Another reason a blog might allow dofollow comments is if the blog has been around for a long time and the owner doesn’t update the platform often. Believe it or not, there are thousands of blogs that have not been updated since the rel=’nofollow’ attribute was invented. Many of the blogs are still used and new posts are added regularly. Many of these blogs are moderated closely or filled with blog comment spam.

If you’re trying to build your backlink profile I would stay away from blog posts with other spammy comments. You’re not likely to get penalized from posting links next to spammy links, but Google often identifies these spam riddled pages and filters them from their link graph.

In most cases the effort of building your backlink profile by posting blog comment links is not worth the effort as these sites normally contain so many comment links that the PageRank value is divided too much to pass substantial value. Blog comment links with the rel=’nofollow’ attribute will not pass any value to your website.

Blogging:
You can start off by getting a free account at blogsites such as blogger.com. You can either concentrate on one topic for the whole blog and make lots of blogs, or you can have a mixed blog.
How to earn money from it:
Apply for a PPC ad account… such as google adsense, Bidvertiser, etc. They will provide you with a code you can put in the html format of your blog so you can have ads on your blog. When visitors to your blog click on your ads, you earn money.
Affiliate marketing:
You can also sign up for affiliate programs. You won’t need capital for this. All you have to do is to advertise their products on your blog (nice if the product is related to your blog topic), and when someone buys the product through your site, you earn a commission. One of the best affiliate programs is Clickbank.
Freelance writing:
Website owners usually hire writers so they can produce lots of original articles on their sites in shorter time. Content is very important to websites, so if you are going to have your own website, you have to put in lots of content. You can apply as a writer to these website owners, so you can earn cash from them. Usually though, they prefer writers with lower rates. If you want to hire writers for your website later on, writers from India and the Philippines are the best people to hire, because they’re okay with low rates.

Erm… If you mean what I think you mean, you need to log in to post.
You’ll need to log in to your Wordpress blog, try logging into the site like this: www.example.com/wp-login – this will open up the Wordpress login page. If you have an account with the site, you should be able to log in here.. I think.
I think I’ve covered your problem so good luck with it!

I’m planing to start a wordpress blog. But i was wondering if there was a way to make the url. Blogname.com
Not like blogname.wordpress.com
But i don’t want to pay for it.

I have a Blog on wordpress and I have been deleting old files and would like to delete old posts. Now you have to go one by one and that takes alot of time. Is there a plugin that lets me delete a bunch at one time?
Thanks
