I think that FeedBurner is a must for anyone thinking about Blogging career. And it can do much more then track your stats. So here’s the list of reasons to use FeedBurner for your Blog: (more…)

And learned a great lesson about blog promotion while doing it!

This plugin lets you redirect and track all your feeds through Feedburner. It even allows you to place AdSense ads on your feed items, if you have enough readers. One of the best things about FeedBurner is their FeedFlare feature. It lets you add some interactivity to your feed. When you install FeedFlare, small links appear on your feed where you can add the post to Delicious, e-mail it to a friend and do some other nifty things. You also can add these features to your site. FeedFlare provides a script for your blog template. After adding a script, all the above mentioned features can be added to your blog posts. (more…)

You can find the first part, about my goals and motives for starting Beginner’s blog here.

How long it took you to do your first post on this blog?

Too long. I hope it will get better with time. It took at least two hours to write the interview. Another couple of hours to polish it, add back links and trackbacks and post it online. Then, at least an hour, to edit it some more.

How’s your first blog – Blogdotes - doing? (more…)

Bought the domain (nice one, huh?:). Installed Wordpress, found a theme that I like – Blix- and stopped. Until yesterday, when I found this great post about Procrastination on Performancing. It hit me on my head - “Just go and do it!”.

In the first post I want to describe my goals and motives of starting the Beginner’s blog. I thought about how to structure the first article for a while. There are lots of thoughts buzzing in my head right now, and it’s difficult to put all of them into one article. The easiest thing will be, if someone asked me a bunch of questions and I tried to answer them the best I can. Since there’s no one to do that, I will do the interview with myself.
