State of the Blogosphere / 2008

QUOTE

Introduction
Welcome to Technorati’s State of the Blogosphere 2008 report, which will be released in five consecutive daily segments. Since 2004, our annual study has unearthed and analyzed the trends and themes of blogging, but for the 2008 study, we resolved to go beyond the numbers of the Technorati Index to deliver even deeper insights into the blogging mind. For the first time, we surveyed bloggers directly about the role of blogging in their lives, the tools, time, and resources used to produce their blogs, and how blogging has impacted them personally, professionally, and financially. Our bloggers were generous with their thoughts and insights. Thanks to all of the bloggers who took the time to respond to our survey.

I think it's quite an interesting read about the blogosphere statistic of year 2008. One that quite interested me is this Asian Bloggers analysis, looks like Asian Bloggers are more into earning money thru blogging.

today i boot up my computer, Pc becomes very weird.

First, i wanted to launch Windows Live, which it will auto start up when loading to windows but today it didn't. Then i click for many times on the icon to load it and it does not load.

Next, i check my task manager, on the user there it was blank, neither me nor WINDOWS, just blank.

Then i want to go add or remove programs, it cannot load the programs installed. Just blank.

Then, i want to scan using anitivirus, use hijack this and scan thru half way progress hang, say something was buzy. I also cannot system restore.

What happen? Hardware faulty or windows problem? i was thinking of reformat my pc.

[project] Blog Action Day

Get involved!

Getting involved is easy! It doesn't take much, but our combined efforts will have a big impact. Whatever you choose to do, we'd appreciate it if you'd register your blog so we can keep track.

There are three things you can do to participate in Blog Action Day:

Post on October 15th relating to the environment

The best way to participate is to post on your blog something that relates to the environment. Your post can be about anything to do with the environment. So you could write a post which is offtopic for your blog OR relate the environment back to your topic in some way.

For example, if you had a blog about programming and technology, you could write about applications used for the environment, how to make your office more sustainable, how to stop wasting paper, why technology will save the environment, or just write about an environmental issue which has nothing to do with programming!

As another example, if you wrote about restaurants, you could write about kitchen practices that make for a more environmentally friendly workplace, food packaging, produce made from sustainable farming or any of a multitude of topics.

What works best is to keep writing as you normally would. Your audience reads your blog for a reason, you don't need to suddenly change your voice, style or emphasis. Simply find an angle on your regular postings which relates to the environment.

Our aim is to get people thinking, discussing, questioning and talking about the environment, from every angle, niche, viewpoint and personality.

Donate your day's earnings to charity

A single day's earnings often don't amount to much, but pooled together will make a difference. Why not donate your day's earnings to a charity to show your support. You can find a list of "official" Blog Action Day charities on the site, or choose your own. Blog Action Day itself does not accept money, so you will need to deal directly with the charities.

Publicize Blog Action Day

The more people who hear about Blog Action Day, the better. Help promote the day with a banner or post on your blog.

Anyone interested?

How to make no moderation for comment?

jayhan — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 11:58:48 +0800

Whenever a person (new poster) posting in my blog, will need my moderation, how to make it so that no moderation is needed? I had implemented the anti-spam text (WP plugin) to prevent spam.

I checked my discussion option there, moderation is unchecked. I told my fren (new poster) to help test comment but yet moderation is needed.

So, how to completely remove the moderation?

Or actually is this a good practice? Getting moderation on is actually better?

The IconBuffet Story

So here's the deal... a few years back we launched the original IconBuffet. At the time we sold stock icons to web designers and other geeky folks all over the world. After a while we figured it would be totally sweet to give away free icons every month to IconBuffet members. Only there's a little twist... not everyone gets the same icons. So you have to swap icons with your friends to get them all. Kinda like baseball cards. Only you can use them on your website.

Then this crazy thing happened... tons of people came to IconBuffet, and this huge IconBuffet community started to grow. Since then we've done a lot of work to make the Buffet better, friendlier, and easier to use. We still do stock icons, but now we're more about our growing community of friends.

Today the Chefs at IconBuffet painstakingly create dozens of new free icons each month which are somewhat randomly delivered to our members according to super-secret schedules. If you're not already a member, you should really sign up. We hope you enjoy the show!

Profile First:
Yuri Ebihara (蛯原友里, Ebihara Yuri?, born October 3, 1979 in Sadowara, Miyazaki Prefecture) is a Japanese model and actress. She is a graduate of Kyushu Sangyo University where she studied fine arts.

After graduating she worked with a classmate designing for aged care institutions. She won an audition for a TV advertisement for Zespri golden kiwi fruit.

Her first big break came as the exclusive CanCam model, the only model appearing in that magazine at the time. She then went on to appear in several TV dramas, most recently Busu no Hitomi ni Koi shiteru (KTV, 2006)

Ebihara is universally known by her nickname Ebi-chan, which is based on the first character of her family name. Newspapers and television often drop the appellation Chan, which is quite unusual. Ebi means "shrimp" and has been used by McDonald's Japan to promote their fried shrimp burger. Her posters are well known for being stolen from McDonald stores.

She is currently the campaign girl for the Fujifilm FinePix range of digital camera.

Ebihara is especially popular with young women and commands such influence that her fashion items often become instant sellouts. She has been quoted as saying, "If someone doesn't find me cute, I want to know why because then I'll work on it to get better at being cute".[1]

She has been criticised for having exactly the same expression in every photograph.

Ebi-chan has also appeared in the pornographic DVD 'Ebi Channel'. It is unclear what McDonald's' position is on this aspect of her career.

Use <object> instead of <iframe>

jayhan — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 11:42:14 +0800

check this article first:

http://www.aplus.co.yu/web-dev/insert-html...ther-html-page/

demo page:

http://intranation.com/test-cases/object-vs-iframe/

HERE IS IT:

I'm interested bout this method and try it, yes, is successful.

then, i try a lil further by trying to at link which the target will be at the <object> thing. So, i try the iframe style by naming the <object> a name, eg.

QUOTE

note that the bold text is not by the source, i add in by myself

then i at a text hyperlink on the mainpage, and target it to the "loadhere" , so i test it, IE does not recognise this but open a new window, then i test in Firefox, firefox recognise the action and load it into the "loadhere"

so any solution to the IE? to make the code crossbrowser friendly

thanks.

or actually this is an illegal function?
