I agree this is my second post on twitter in last 2 days (twitter counter being the first one) but that dosen’t mean I am promoting my twitter account. It is just another coincidence and no self promotion.

Twitter these days is being used by many bloggers as a marketing tool to advertise their blog to the huge amount of followers who follow them. And when it comes to blog marketing then it also comes to keeping track of what you are doing and what changes you should make to improve your marketing efforts.

Similarly everyone who uses twitter would love to know how he/she has been performing on twitter. Twitter Stats is the ultimate online tool which will give you what you have been craving for till now. Do check it!

Have you been enticed by the success of Wordpress and were you stunned when Blogger was bought by Google? Did you ever think of having your own blogging network with your own blogging platform? Here I won’t be able to teach you how to code your own blogging platform but what I have for you is a open-source blogging platform with support for multiple blogs and users in a single installation.

LifeType application creates a unique MySQL database to handle various users and blogs and its admin panel allows you to manage all the aspects of blog functionality.

Once you get the admin rights then you can use the WYSIWYG editor to write your first post which is similar to Microsoft Word text processor. The application is secure enough and boasts of many plug-ins to enhance its functionality.

For those who want to offer a blogging service to a community of users, they can use LifeType to offer a blog to every user with a new domain or a sub-domain from the single LifeType domain which you have.

Tips to optimize your blog are always popping up regularly on various pro-blogging blogs and mostly they seem to be the copy paste stuffs. What I saw this time were once again the usual ideas which I have been implementing (although a custom template is still due) but the way these 52 tips have been presented is truly wow!

Tips are same: favicon, custom template, spell check, regular commenting etc but this author has written them in a very friendly manner and it truly complements the heading 52 tips which one can implement while having a tea break!

Do read them and do subscribe to that awesome blog. I already have!

I found a great article on OneMansGoal where Rosanne Lim (isn’t that a beautiful name?) points how bloggers commit the biggest mistake of assuming blogging to be their hobby and later on convert this hobby into their full time job. Avoid This!

Definition of hobby as per Google is:

avocation: an auxiliary activity

So you know what I want to point out? Hobby is something which you perform while you have some free time. You won’t ever be able to become a full time blogger IF you do not follow a time table. You will have to follow a scheduled path once you think you are ready to be a full time blogger just like you used to while you were working for some company.

You will be surprised how blogging becomes easy for you and you start saving lots of time which you can later be dedicate for publicity of your blog. All you need to do is do not make blogging as your hobby but as your profession. Be professional and you will be successful!

Otherwise all you will have in hands are promotional pens to make profits. Be a little serious.
