Digital Filipino Christmas Party & Busby SEO Test

November 30th, 2008 | 3 Comments | Posted in Blogging, Internet Business

Busby SEO Test

Oh my! This post is long overdue.

I had a picture taken at the 38th floor of Discovery Suite where Yehey.com headquarter is. Rare photo of me. –>

I attended the Digital Filipino Christmas Party and I was late as usual. I just grabbed two beers just to have things “tick” right on the spot or else my usual shy-type self will simply ruin the night.Opps! But no (sabay bawi), that was only a joke though. I was glad to meet Ada of Adaphobic.com, Jay of TitikPilipino.com and Ms. Micamyx.com

Although I was late, it was fun because the Digital Filipino members are so welcoming and all.  I never witnessed the raffle draw where Ada won the 3G phone. Whew! that girl is such a lucky one. Hey! Ada, they said once you are lucky with raffles, you will never be lucky with love. So beware… but you will have it booted out if you give me your 3G phone? hehe Nambola pa no?

Anyways, I do hope that we can have a repeat of such wonderful occasion together with the known, Ms. Janette Toral of DigitalFilipino.com.

So there you go, I guess I need to go back to my Busby SEO Test challenge now. Til next time.

4 Blog Design Ideas & Blog Authority

November 28th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in Blogging, Web Design

I am not an expert in blog design although I know enough to get by. Like many bloggers out there, I use what is available and make the best out of it. However, as time passed by, I realized that blog design is important. Some of the basics I look into when checking out a blog design are:

  • Titles
    Yes, I still get to see blog designs that does not properly reflect blog titles and make it appear at the browser title bar. This is important as search engines pick-up the information when indexing pages.
  • Focus
    A blog’s purpose, primarily, is to inform its readers by sharing one’s latest insight, news, and even reviews. I prefer blog designs that brings that straight to the point. I partly frown whenever I see blogs that shows ton of ads before the actual post, some are also screaming at the sidebar, as it distracts the reader from getting what they came for, which is to read your blog. I think this is also the reason why more prefer reading blogs through RSS (really simple syndication) as it spares them from the clutter normally found in blogs.
  • Personality
    Now I’m considering of having my own customized blog design, I would like to have one that properly reflects what my blog is all about and the business I’m into.
  • Open to plug-ins and widgets.
    I recall changing templates from time to time as the one I’m using can’t seem to work well with plug-ins and scale with widgets. I think a good blog design should have that flexibility or at least provide room for it.

If done right, a blog design can or has influence in communicating a blog’s authority to its readers, advertisers, and supporters. It shows how serious you are in the blogging business and even the kind of blogger you are. Yes, I’m still very much learning and the above ideas are just ramblings. I hope to get my blog in order soon.

This post is a contest entry of Blog Design Contest, hosted by Blog Design Studio and the winner will get a free custom wordpress theme. There are some amazing prizes by Daily Blog Tips and Blogging Tips as well. The contest is being judged by WordPress rockstar Jeff Chandler, David Peralty (who has the same birthday as this Busby SEO Test participant), and Alex Cristache whose blog is in the Technorati top 10k.

I found the following entries to this contest so far and I encourage you to read them too:

Cell Phone Users & Abusers

November 27th, 2008 | 3 Comments | Posted in Gadgets

I’ve encountered a lot of folks using their cell phones in a funny, odd, and even annoying kind of way. What drives me crazy are those who:

Fight Cell Phone Abuse

  • Keep on texting while in a meeting or function.
    I think as a respect to the person running the meeting or speaking at a function, this must be done subtly.
  • Loud ring tones
    I don’t see the point because the other option is you can turn on vibration mode and that will serve the purpose as well of alerting you of incoming calls or text messages.
  • Loud voice call
    There are some who can’t keep their voice down when speaking especially in public transportation and private offices.

Despite the above annoyances, I’m sure that my fellow Busby SEO Test participants will agree with me that cell phones are very much helpful devices. It allows us to keep in touch no matter how far is the person you are talking to. When there are times that face-to-face contact is almost impossible, especially for families with loved ones working abroad, hearing a person’s voice over the phone keeps the heart warm.

In addition, during times of crisis, cell phones have proven itself as one of the most powerful device for disaster coordination that can result to saving lives.

This is an entry to the Cell Phone Users and Abusers writing project to promote Dr. Mike O’Malley’s book Cell Hell – 55 Cell Phone Users You’d Like to Silence. This is a humorous and satirical book capturing the most ubiquitous phenomenon of our time – cell phone (mis)use.

Update (December 14, 2008)

I just found out that this entry of got a consolation prize. Many thanks again to the Brad Shorr for organizing this. Congratulations also to fellow winners:
