This is just a short message to let you all know that due to the site becoming more popular in recent weeks I have decided to upgrade to a better host, in order to better prepare the blog for any future growth (Fingers Crossed).
July is a big month for the blog so I did not want any down-time during that month, so have decided that I am going to make the move this weekend. The move should be seemless, but in the event of any downtime you now know the cause.
I will let you know once the move has been complete, once everything is ready I will also be able to unleash the new ProTycoon.com theme as well.
Thanks for your patience, we hope to be moved pretty quickly.
Technorati is a blog search engine, according to their site they track over 112.8 million blogs and over 250 million pieces of tagged social media.
Here is a quote from the Technorati about page:
Technorati is the recognized authority on what’s happening on the World Live Web, right now. The Live Web is the dynamic and always-updating portion of the Web. We search, surface, and organize blogs and the other forms of independent, user-generated content (photos, videos, voting, etc.) increasingly referred to as “citizen media.”
Technorati uses several different methods for ranking blogs:
- Authority
- Number of Fans
- Ranking
The Technorati Authority is the number of blogs that have linked to your blog in the last 6 months. The higher the number the better.
The number of fans is simply the number of people that have added you as a favourite on Technorati.
It is no secret, blogs that use images in their posts are more attractive than blogs that don’t. The use of images in blog posts is something that I have not done from the start, but something that I have started doing recently, as a way of adding something extra to my blog.
Images can draw the attention of your blogs readers to your posts and create an atmosphere for the post. They are also a great way to emphasize the content of your blog post.
The process of adding images to your blog posts however is not as easy as it sounds. There are some things that you need to consider before placing an image into your blog post:
- Copyright
- Is the Image Neccasary
- Is the Image Useful
I was having a conversation with my mum the other day, and she asked the question: “What Exactly Is A Blog“. At first I was surprised that she had never heard about blogs, or knew much about them. This also made me realise that if she did not know then there may be many other people who don’t really know what a blog is.
So, What is a blog?
Wikipedia defines a blog as:
A blog (an abridgment of the term web log) is a website, usually maintained by an individual, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
