<br /><p style="text-align: justify;font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;">I’ll be discussing about the basic steps of starting a blog.
<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;">
<br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;">First, ask yourself <strong>“</strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">Why do you want a blog, and what would be your topic all about</span>?” </strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">You have to consider</span></strong> your specific topic because it is easier for you to make content when you have a specific niche. You have to consider also your readers. After you consider these questions, make a plan and write it down on your paper or just type it to your PC. Better choose topics that really interest you.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Now some questions won’t be needed in some situations. </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">If you want to make cash out of blogging, you will need to find a good niche to write on. Examples, you want to tackle about showbiz personalities, photography, sports, etc, something that you know you can share and make something out of it. You can also blog something funny such as videos, news, etc.</span></p> <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">If you have a business, write about that and get some ex</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">posure for it. There are almost unlimited topics, some are more popular, others aren’t, but the bottom line is, you will find people that have same or similar interest and those will be looking for your blog and read it daily. I myself go to some blogs couple of times and am looking if they got some updates.</span></p> <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">I also suggest that you build quality and understandable content.

These bookmarks are usually public, and can be saved privately, shared only with particular people or groups, shared only inside certain networks, or another combination of public and private domains. The allowed people can usually view these bookmarks chronologically, by category or tags, or via a search engine.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;">

The posts will be displayed in chronological order or as threaded discussions where information can be shared and can be carried out and read. It is designed to be open to all, they are an excellent means to build an online community and by introducing membership levels and moderators, they can be monitored and controlled to a degree.<br /><br />People participating in a forum will typically build bonds with each other and interest groups will easily form around a topic's conversation, subjects dealt within or around sections in the forum.<br /><br />When joining a forums you must register first.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzgS096chCsim71b2csOtlrjsA9yKIp4KJx2CZu1nbKkoCw8zydMq1xFCNn3Aao-CiysBnYmm0Zx2MU8PRb9qHIF1U5d9MvthAydtRAddwjK2fi6f_tjSHG06JcrZG_WKTWbK6YC4UL6vb/s1600-h/forums.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 367px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzgS096chCsim71b2csOtlrjsA9yKIp4KJx2CZu1nbKkoCw8zydMq1xFCNn3Aao-CiysBnYmm0Zx2MU8PRb9qHIF1U5d9MvthAydtRAddwjK2fi6f_tjSHG06JcrZG_WKTWbK6YC4UL6vb/s400/forums.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270319350048746514" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Registration</span><br /><br />Registration is the process through which one becomes a member of the forum. Registered users of the site are referred to as members and are allowed to submit or send electronic messages through the web application. The process of registration involves verification of one's age (typically over 12 is required so as to meet COPPA requirements) followed by a declaration of the terms of service (other documents may also be present) and a request for agreement to said terms. Subsequently, if all goes well, the candidate is presented with a web form to fill requesting at the very least: a username, password, email and validation of a CAPTCHA code.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rules and Regulation</span><br /><br />Forums are governed by a set of individuals, commonly referred to as staff or administrators, which are responsible for the forums conception, technical maintenance and policies. Most forums contain a forum rules section detailing the wishes, aim and guidelines of the forums creators. Forum rules are maintained and enforced by the moderation team, but users are allowed to help out via what's known as the report system.<br /><br />When rules are broken several steps are commonly taken. First a warning is usually given; this is commonly in the form of a private message but recent development has made it possible for it to be integrated into the software. Subsequently, if the act is ignored and warnings do not work, the member is – usually – first exiled from the forum for a number of days. Denying someone access to the site is called a ban (as in "you have been banished"). Bans can mean the person can no longer log in or even view the site anymore. If the offender, after the warning sentence, repeats the offense, another warning is given, usually this time a longer one. Continuous harassment of the site eventually leads to a permanent ban. However, in most cases this simply means the account is locked. In extreme cases where the offender – after being permanently banned – creates another account and continues to harass the site, administrators will apply an IP.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Forum Structure</span><br /></div><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li>User groups</li><li>Member</li><li>Moderator</li><li>Administrator</li><li>Post</li><li>Thread</li></ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Forum Common Features</span><br /></div><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li>Private Message</li><li>Attachment</li><li>BBCode and HTML</li><li>Emoticon</li><li>Poll</li><li>RSS and ATOM<br /></li></ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:100%;" >Source: wikipedia</span><br /></span></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12150486309514726142noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891689818138175864.post-14459393235216939562008-11-14T03:16:00.000-08:002008-11-15T19:50:07.082-08:00Web Conferencing<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn8qS_mVltNHwIOQ-d9_hR3ZQcI-G-OfBx5xl5wluGZdwvlclE6TkfIF2hKif2ihmFdvL5MIZ-Od5qzkhFnAH6aLMWe4tRsRPhWd0qwIDuJE3xz_HJAVsBg_1VIU94OdZUN2SXjFXQ9YGs/s1600-h/web-conferencing+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 370px; height: 230px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn8qS_mVltNHwIOQ-d9_hR3ZQcI-G-OfBx5xl5wluGZdwvlclE6TkfIF2hKif2ihmFdvL5MIZ-Od5qzkhFnAH6aLMWe4tRsRPhWd0qwIDuJE3xz_HJAVsBg_1VIU94OdZUN2SXjFXQ9YGs/s400/web-conferencing+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269089531402939250" border="0" /></a><div style="text-align: justify;"><meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CRGONZA%7E1%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C13%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="PlaceType"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="PlaceName"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="place"></o:smarttagtype><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if !mso]><object classid="clsid:38481807-CA0E-42D2-BF39-B33AF135CC4D" id="ieooui"></object> <style> st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } </style> <![endif]--><style> <!-- /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;"><b style="">Web Conferencing</b> is a videoconferencing session through internet. It is used to conduct live discussion, meeting or presentation over the internet which is more interactive and more collaborative. In a web conference, each participant sits at his or her own computer and is connected to other participants via the internet. This can be either a downloaded application on each of the attendees computers or a web-based application where the attendees will simply enter a URL (website address) to enter the conference.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;">

Web meetings can be fully interactive, allowing participants to converse in real time and for information to be exchanged between delegates.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;">

The broadcasting nature of this facility means that there is little opportunity for the presenter and delegates to interact with each other and therefore its function is primarily as a presenting tool. The other main feature of a webcast is that it can be broadcast simultaneously to hundreds of recipients.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;">
