RSS Readers Easy

Posted by Daniel Chew On December - 21 - 2007

Yes, it’s time to teach some stuffs. Yes, some of you who aren’t that technical might find this useful. Well, now I have been using RSS reader to read other blog entries. Though if I find the entry amusing and something which I can add, I will go comment.

What is RSS Reader?

Have you heard of google reader. Yes, you can use Google Reader to read people’s blog RSS. In other words, you can see the posts in that reader. One good thing too, is that you can keep track on which blog has been updated. Yes, a RSS reader might sound like a very good thing. But all things like this has it’s flaw.

So if you think this post has helped you a lot, then come subscribe to my RSS feed. It not only helps in readability issues but I can say the most important is to know whose blog has been updated.

What are the disadvantages?

We all know in the blog zone and space, we build on hits and links and also visits by other bloggers and readers who like visiting your site. If you think that your blog has got what it takes to be visited frequently, I am sure people either come visit regularly almost everyday or they can even subscribe to your RSS feeds.

Yes, the problem is when people rely too much on RSS readers that they tend to neglect the blogger involved and forget to comment. This also prevents MyBlogLog to keep tracking who came to the blog. So if you really want to use RSS readers, use it to keep track on whose blog was updated instead of reading right through the reader. It not only helps you let the blogger aware that you’re on their site but also helps the other party to generate traffic. Well, though if someone were to subscribe to your feeds, your site has got what it takes to be up there.

I don’t want Google Reader!! Any other RSS Readers??

Yes, there are plenty out there. Yes, I also do use bloglines last time as my Reader. All you need to do is type RSS readers on Google.com and you can find tonnes of them. So if you finally understand all there is to a RSS reader, you can start practicing by subscribing to my feed using this BIG BIG button. :P

Daniel wants me to shout that HE’S STILL ALIVE!

I guess he must be enjoying in Penang. Now is 3 something pm and it’s starting to rain. Oh oh..I wonder if the BBQ will be going smoothly.. :/ Anyway, I hope that everyone will enjoy and have fun. Eh, just in case nobody knows who am I, I’m miChi3..one of the shouters.

Now, what should I write? I think I’ll talk about MAKE UP! Do you hope that your gf will make up? Or for those girls, do you like to make up? As for myself, I do not really like to make up. This is because I think that make up is very troublesome. Plus without removing make up properly, will caused damage to our skin leh. Nowadays I can see that make up is a must to a lot of girls. If you do not know how to make up, and you are putting on heavy make up, you might look like this.

heavy make up

Sometimes a bit of make up is okay, for example like putting eyeliner and lip gross. The worst part is when I saw people putting on heavy make up AND their make up skill is not that good. I think they shouldn’t have make up. But of course, none of my business. The good thing about make up is, it can make certain people look beautiful for a while. :)

Before this, I read an email from my friend. The power of make up. It was about a girl from China, she’s actually not very pretty, but after putting on make up..TaDahhh..becomes a leng lui.

TRANSFORM!

She also got teach how to make up like her. Swt.

All the basic things.

You say lah, how not to love make up? :/ I think I need to reconsider about the make up.

Page Rank Changes Again

Posted by Daniel Chew On December - 7 - 2007

Google has done it again on November. How silly of me to not noticed it once again. Well, when I was checking the Page Rank or PR for short on my Weird Daniel blog, I realized it had dropped once more again from PR2 to PR0. I was like shocked for a second. I mean, what’s with this new update. Anyway, due to the Page Rank of my old blog has dropped to Page Rank 0, I find it meaningless to continue blogging from there. Might be because of the complication of the same first name with my dotcom.

On A Personal Note

Anyway, I’ve thought of deleting the blogspot blog altogether and fully concentrate on paid domains instead. What say you? *back to topic*

What Has Google Done Again?

It seems Google has started a new algorithm again on the last update previous month on November. How silly of me not to notice it, well, how would I notice since this blog still maintains it’s PR without ever rising or dropping. I guessed I have been missing from the Internet world once more, and with this new update it seems that there are more and more people complaining of it. Oh yeah, for those that got lost, there was also a previous update on Page Rank in October.

What I think about Page Rank?

Well, I believe Page Rank is now over-rated. Or rather with the new algorithm, I would based my thoughts that the Page Rank of PR5 previously is somewhat of a PR3 this time around. Well, I wouldn’t be surprised at all. Which means it is definitely harder to get your PR higher this time around. Looks like it’s back to SEO for me again. This time though it’s not about selling paid links or anything like that. Well, how can it be when you find that sites that don’t sell links get penalized too. Up till now I am still looking on it.

What’s the next Rank now?

Well, some people are trying to come out something as equivalent as Page Rank and from what I heard it’s called Real Rank. Well, you can have a read about Real Rank from :
IZEA Blogs :: Community: Getting started with RealRank

Till then I need to check out more stuffs on Page Rank and it’s complication. Looks like it’s time for me to recheck all stuffs again.
