			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.nomoref.com/images/introductiontoblogging.PNG"><br />
<img class="alignleft" style="border-style: none;" title="typing-1000-words" src="http://www.nomoref.com/images/introductiontoblogging.PNG" alt="introduction to Blogging" width="260" height="179" align="left" /> </a> This is my very first post in the category of content. A content is an information and experiences that explains &#8220;How, When, Where, and What&#8221; a writer or the author is trying to tell his reader or audience. A well written content will be well understood and will make your reader come back next time looking for more. Providing quality content for your reader should not be taken for granted because it tells your reader the quality of your blog and its the number one weapon that can be used to win the war of incrementing your readership.<span id="more-73"></span></p>
<p>Quality and Quantity matters whenever it comes to content. If you are a kind of person that likes to write a killer post which consist of more than 1000 words then you need to always keep your reader in mind, make sure your reader don&#8217;t  get bored after reading few lines, keep your reader dream alive by not getting to your conclusion too early, make your words real and meaningful. If you are a kind of person that likes to write short posts, then perhaps you should start thinking about writing a longer one without making your reader get bored.</p>
<p>You might have noticed that on every famous blog there are always atleast 4 killer posts per week that consist of a minimum of 1500 words. I will walk you through a simple step-by-step guidelines for writing a post that has more than 1000 words.</p>
<h2><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #800080;">The Elements Of A Post</span></span></h2>
<p>A good post must consist of 4 main elements which are the Headline, Lead, Body, and Conclusion;</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Headline:</span></strong></p>
<p>A headline is text at the top of a post, indicating the nature of the post. The headline catches the attention of the reader and relates well to the topic. Modern headlines are typically written in an abbreviated style omitting many elements of a complete sentence. During the next following weeks I will write more about creating a quality content and how to write a killer headline that catches the attention of everybody that take a look at it.</p>
<p>Headline as we all know is a very power group of words that decides if the post will be read or not. Keep in mind that apart from your family and friends that are visiting your blog because they wanna be nice to you, anyone else that comes to your blog comes for a purpose; its either he or she is looking for how to do something, or he needs information about a particular product or service, he surely must be there for a reason and the only way that you could help your reader to find what he is looking for is by summarizing the main purpose of post in less that 10 words as your headline.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Lead:</span></span></h3>
<p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;">Its like your introductory part of your post because it gives your reader a taste of what your post is all about. It also gives your reader a very good reason why he should read on. A well written lead is crucial because if you write a poor lead your reader might not be patience enough to read your story from the beginning to the end. The lead sentence captures the attention of your reader and sums up the focus of your story. The lead also establishes the person your post is meant for, it sets the tone and guides your reader into the post.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;">A well written lead has to describe, ask and answer your reader&#8217;s question about why he is reading the post and if or not the post will bring a solution to his problem or satisfy his needs. In a news story, the introductory paragraph tells the most important facts and answers the questions: who, what, why, when, which.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Body:</span></span></h3>
<ol>
<li>For the news story, details are evident in the body of the post and flow smoothly from the lead.</li>
<li>Quotes are used to add interest and support to the post.</li>
<li>A feature post will follow a format appropriate for its type. Structures for feature post may include, but are not limited to:</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>chronological — the post may be a narrative of some sort.</li>
<li>cause and effect — the reasons and results of an event or process are examined.</li>
<li>classification — items in a post are grouped to help aid understanding</li>
<li>compare and contrast — two or more items are examined side-by-side to see their similarities and differences</li>
<li>list — A simple item-by-item run-down of pieces of information.</li>
<li>question and answer — such as an interview with a celebrity or expert.</li>
<li>and many more&#8230;..</li>
</ul>
<h3><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Conclusion:</span></strong></span></h3>
<p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;">A well written conclusion occurs after you have presented all your information, tips, how to, links, and many more.Give your reader a homework and ask a simple questions like;</p>
<ul>
<li>Was I able to satisfy your needs with this post?</li>
<li>Was the information helpful</li>
<li>Do you have any other method, system, ideas, or way of solving the same problem?</li>
<li>Do you think my way of solving it is better or am I missing something?</li>
<li>Give them a homework to think about after reading your post</li>
<li>And many more.</li>
</ul>
<p>Interact with your reader, don&#8217;t just write like a king that gives instructions to his slave or commands his citizen about what to do and what not to do. Keep in mind that your reader wouldn&#8217;t mind giving a suggestion or thanking you for the post. Keep it real and simple. Open the way for your reader to come in and contribute to the matter.</p>
<p>You can also make your conclusion;</p>
<ol>
<li>a final quote</li>
<li>a descriptive scene</li>
<li>a play on the title or lead</li>
<li>a summary statement</li>
</ol>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #800080;">So how can you write a post with more than 1000 words?:</span></span></strong></p>
<p>I can hear you say that loud and clear, ok below are the simple step by step techniques that I also put into practice;</p>
<ol>
<li>Make your headline &#8220;5 &lt; Headline &lt; 10&#8243; greater than 5 and less than 10 words</li>
<li>Make an introduction to the Body part of your post with 200 words or more</li>
<li>Create 5 or more points to write about in the body part of your post, and make sure each of your points has more than 200 words but not less</li>
<li>Write a conclusion with more than 50 words.</li>
<li>Yes its as simple as that.</li>
</ol>
<p>If you have any other idea of creating a post that has more than 1000 words, do share them with us by commenting below. Do you use some techniques different from the one listed above? or do you use some of the above techniques? What has worked well for you in creating a post that has more than a thousand words?.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="home1" style="padding-left: 30px; ">First of all I would like to apologize for the word I have chosen to use in this post (MUST), I know few people don&#8217;t like that word because they feel they don&#8217;t must know or do anything.</p>
<p class="home1"><a rel="attachment wp-att-49" href="http://www.nomoref.com/blogging/?attachment_id=49"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-49" title="knowledge paradigm" src="http://www.nomoref.com/blogging/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/know1-150x150.jpg" alt="knowledge paradigm" width="150" height="150" /></a>Don&#8217;t get it wrong, blogging is not something to jump in like a railway and blog platform is not a place where you could just make a shout out or mouth off your opinions. If you would like to blog to success and increase your blog ranks effectively within a very short period of time then make sure you are familiar with the list I have created below.</p>
<p class="home1">Make sure you have mastered them before you start your blog, I can promise it will pay off and you will never regret blogging. It will put you on a better track of blogging, it will keep you focused for a long period of time, it will make blogging and writing much more easier for you, the last but not the least it will make you a successful blogger.</p>
<p class="home1"><span id="more-46"></span></p>
<ol>
<li><strong><span style="color: #800080;">What to write or blog about:</span></strong> This&#8217;s always been the first big step to blogging, its just like the first day in school after some long holiday. You must know what you would like to write about, atleast the very first 10 unique topics must have been ringing in your head before you start your blog. You need a to-write list just like the success professionals always advice us to create a to-do list. Knowing the first 10 or more topics that you  would like to write and share will not only save you time but would also give a peace of mind because you wouldn&#8217;t have to think hard to write your next big post, and before you run out of the list there will for sure be another top 10 topics to write about ringing in your brain.</li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #800080;">How to start your computer:</span></strong> I know this sounds little creepy, but lets face is some people out there don&#8217;t know much about computer but would love to make money off it. My intention is not that you must learn how to start a computer but you have to learn how to make your computer booting system as fast as possible so that you could start making use of it as fast as possible. Which also would make your life easier.</li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #800080;">How to connect to the internet:</span></strong> You must know how your internet connection works, what is connecting to what. You don&#8217;t want to be disconnected in the middle of a post. know the in and out of your internet connection, I am not telling you to go and enroll yourself to a computer networking school but you must know how your computer is connected to the internet should in case you get disconnected you have to know how to get your connection back as soon as possible. Simple.</li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #800080;">How to type:</span></strong><strong> </strong>Funny isn&#8217;t it?.<strong> </strong>How can a person that doesn&#8217;t know how to type be a blogger?. Anyway what I mean is that you need to be able to type as fast as possible, your keyboard is going to be one of your next new friends and the ability to be able to type faster and better means a lot to you as from the day you become a blogger, being able to type faster will save you a lot of time and hastles. practice makes perfect.</li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #800080;">How to use text editor:</span></strong> Any operating system will always have some pre-installedtext editor, if not even two there must be one. Microsoft has NotePad and WordPad, apple has TextEdit ETC, You just need to be able to use any of them depending on the kind of operating system your computer runs on. It will make your work faster and reduce stress of finding and replacing words. You must know how to use a text editor especially if you would like to build your website or blog by yourself, because its good for editing and creating an HTML file, its what I am using right now to create this post <img src='http://www.nomoref.com/blogging/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #800080;">How to search:</span></strong><strong> </strong>There are thousands of search engines out there if not millions, but you don&#8217;t need to master all. As of August 2007, Google is the most used <a style="text-decoration:none;color:#002bb8;background-image:none;background-repeat:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-color:initial;background-position:initial initial;" title="Search engine" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine">search engine</a> on the web with a 53.6% market share, ahead of <a style="text-decoration:none;color:#002bb8;background-image:none;background-repeat:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-color:initial;background-position:initial initial;" title="Yahoo!" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!">Yahoo!</a> (19.9%) and <a style="text-decoration:none;color:#002bb8;background-image:none;background-repeat:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-color:initial;background-position:initial initial;" title="Live Search" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_Search">Live Search</a> (12.9%). So if you master google very well, and know how to search and find anything that exist on the net then you are set to go. here is a good <a title="how to search" href="http://www.google.com/support/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;answer=134479" target="_blank">link</a> to get you started.</li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Introduction to blogging:</span></strong><strong> </strong>My very first post in NoMoreF For Bloggers was about <a title="Introduction To Blogging" href="http://www.nomoref.com/blogging/?page_id=3" target="_self">introduction to blogging</a> perhaps you got to this post through it.</li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Your Niche:</span></strong><strong> </strong>Every single blog out there can be defined by its niche. You have to choose a niche with a big market share in the blogosphere in order to be able to have more readers and topics to write about. Blogging to success is determined by the kind of niche you choose. What is the purpose of starting a blog that will not be successful and last for years?. Make sure you are choosing the best niche that suits you. choosing a wrong niche is very risky because you might run out of post which means your blog will die soon. If you choose a niche that your hobby revolves around, you will be able to create good quality content and your blog will last longer. Take your time make researches about the best niche that suits your idea because it is one of the big steps of blogging to success.</li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Blog platform:</span></strong><strong> </strong>Weblog software (also called blog software or blogware) is software designed to simplify the creation and maintenance of <a style="text-decoration:none;color:#5a3696;background-image:none;background-repeat:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-color:initial;background-position:initial initial;" title="Blog" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog">weblogs</a>. As specialized <a style="text-decoration:none;color:#002bb8;background-image:none;background-repeat:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-color:initial;background-position:initial initial;" title="Content management system" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_management_system">content management systems</a>, weblog applications support the authoring, editing, and publishing of blog posts and comments, with special functions for image management, <a style="text-decoration:none;color:#002bb8;background-image:none;background-repeat:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-color:initial;background-position:initial initial;" title="Web syndication" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_syndication">web syndication</a>, and moderation of posts and comments. After you have decided to start your own blog, choosing the right blog platform is another big step. There are many blog platforms out there like <a title="blogger" href="http://www.blogger.com" target="_blank">blogger</a>, <a title="wordpress" href="http://www.wordpress.com" target="_blank">wordpress</a>, <a title="typepad" href="http://www.typepad.com" target="_blank">typepad</a>, and many more. but I must tell you that these software have their ups and downs. Some bloggers find one platform better than the others, perhaps maybe its because of the theme or the usability. The more nice looking a theme is the more comfortable your reader will be, you might want to learn more about blog platforms before you make your decision about which one of them to go with. You also have to make a decision about hosting before starting your next big blog, would you like to host it by yourself or would you prefer the free hosting offered by the platform?. There are pros and cons to each solution.</li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #800080;">H</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #800080;">ow to use social networks:</span></strong><strong> </strong>social network is a <a style="text-decoration: none; color: #002bb8; background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial;" title="Social structure" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_structure">social structure</a> made of individuals (or organizations) called &#8220;nodes,&#8221; which are tied (connected) by one or more specific types of interdependency, such as friendship, <a style="text-decoration: none; color: #002bb8; background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial;" title="Kinship" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinship">kinship</a>, financial exchange, dislike, <a style="text-decoration: none; color: #002bb8; background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial;" title="Sexual network" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_network">sexual relationships</a>, or relationships of beliefs, knowledge or prestige. Network get things done, weather it is posting a letter or sending a mail. there are lot of social networking sites out there like facebook, myspace and many more, if you are a registered member in any of them and you have atleast tens if not thousands of friends on your downline then you are a step closer to your next blog success. Social network can help you increase your blog traffic exponentially, to do this you only need to send your friends a message or just put up a status about your blog. You will be amazed about the response from your friends and family about your idea and they will not only praise you but also support your idea.</li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #800080;">How to promote:</span></strong> Website promotion is the continuing process to promote a website to bring more visitors to the website. Many techniques such as <a style="text-decoration: none; color: #002bb8; background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial;" title="Web content development" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_content_development">web content development</a>, <a style="text-decoration: none; color: #002bb8; background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial;" title="Search engine optimization" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization">search engine optimization</a> (also known as SEO), and <a style="text-decoration: none; color: #002bb8; background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial;" title="Search engine submission" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_submission">search engine submission</a>, are used to increase the traffic of a site. Well as a newbie you don&#8217;t need to know all about SEO or search engine submission on the very first day, but you should atleast know something to get you started.You need to know few things about website promotion. You must know how to create a readership and how to create a community around your next big blog by writing quality content and interacting with your readers. You need a promotion plan. Don&#8217;t take it for granted, or wait untill your blog is big enough or full of post before thinking about promoting your blog, the more you write the more you should promote it. If you make good promotional plans and implement it as you blog it will pay off big time. Promoting your website as you blog will not only increase your unique visitors but it will also increase your blog ranking and decrease your alexa rank which will put you in a bettter position to make money from your blog.</li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #800080;">How to get out of trouble:</span></strong> Copyright is an <a style="text-decoration: none; color: #002bb8; background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial;" title="Intellectual property" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property">intellectual property</a>, first of all you must know how to write yours so that people don&#8217;t come into your website and steal your content and don&#8217;t steal content copywrited by another person without linking back to the original copy. Don&#8217;t use a material or tool you found on the internet without the proper permission from the owner or a license that denotes you as the new owner. Try to get out of trouble as much as possible. Good luck blogging!!!!.</li>
</ol>
<p>Good luck with your dreams, I hope I was able to help you little with my words.</p>

<p>This post is divided into two sections for clarification:</p>
<p class="home1">You see before you think about blogging there are so many things you have to put into consideration. I personally created this post to clarify few things people don&#8217;t really think of before jumping into blogging.</p>
<ol>
<li>Someone is paying you to blog for him or you blog just for fun</li>
<li>You want to blog for money or Own 100% of your blog.<span id="more-40"></span></li>
</ol>
<h2 class="second"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Top Ten Questions You Must Ask Yourself Before You Start A Blog</span></h2>
<p class="home1">Before you make your decision about which part you belong to I would like you to ask yourself the following questions;</p>
<ol>
<li>What is your budget?</li>
<li>How much time do you have?</li>
<li>How good is your writing skill?</li>
<li>How much do you know about computer and Internet?</li>
<li>Why do you want to start a blog?</li>
<li>How long do you want to blog?</li>
<li>How many post can you post per week?</li>
<li>How do you intend to run and manage your blog?</li>
<li>How will the world know about your blog?</li>
<li>How will you make money from your blog?</li>
</ol>
<h2 class="second"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Non-Profit Blog:</span></h2>
<p>It is 100% free, you pay nothing for hosting your blog (which sometimes means you cannot make money from it because you wont be able to put Ads), you don&#8217;t need a domain name but you have to decide what you want to name your blog (the name of the blog platform that you choose will be your domain name which means you have access to only the subdomain name, i.e. &#8220;yourname.platform-name.com&#8221;, the good news is that its absolutely free.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong> </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Blog Platform:</strong></span></p>
<p class="home1">Is normally a Website/software script that provides blog hosting and services. Users can download the software in order to have a full control over their blogs or they can register and use the services provided by the platform which means no full control over their blogs. There are so many blog platforms out there, according to a poll the most common used blog platform is WordPress.</p>
<p>Before you make a decision about the platform that is suitable for you I recommend try to make a research about what people in your niche are using and also which platform provides space for what you need. I have put together Top 16 blog platforms that are mostly used in the blogosphere so you could just try to check them out one after the other to determine which one suits you. Mind you, they all have their Con&#8217;s and Pro&#8217;s.</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Blog Template</strong></span><strong>: </strong></p>
<p>You definitely need a fresh and good looking design for your blog to make it more attractive and to make it easy for your readers to navigate your site. A good blog template will attract more readers and it will tell the readers how creative you are, it will make you stand out from your competitors.</p>
<p class="home1"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Blog Logo</strong></span><strong>:<br />
</strong><a href="http://www.afroschools.info/logo/logo.PNG"><br />
<img class="alignleft" style="border-style: none;" title="Afro Schools Logo" src="http://www.afroschools.info/logo/logo.PNG" alt="Money Bag" width="300" height="108" align="right" /></a> Oh Yeah!!! you need a logo for your blog for a blog is your online company and it reflect everything about your product and services, so you need a brand name as well as a good looking logo that makes you stand out from your competitors.<a href="http://www.logomaker.com/" target="new">Logo Maker</a> is a good Website to create your logo with few clicks (its not free).</p>
<h2 class="second"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Money Making Blog:</span></h2>
<p><a href="http://www.nomoref.com/images/moneyroll.PNG" target="new"><br />
<img style="border-style: none" src="http://www.nomoref.com/images/moneyroll.PNG" alt="Money Bag" width="250" height="167" align="left" /></a></p>
<p class="home1">We all would love to make money from whatever we do because we are putting in time, even if we blog for pleasure or for the beauty of blogging atleast few dollars per day from whatever we do is not a crime. The fact is that most people blog for money not really for the pleasure, putting money and pleasure into the equation makes blogging more fun and worthy.</p>
<p>If you would like to blog for money you have to know that; You are 100% responsible for your blog, you either host your blog yourself or pay someone to host it for you, You must have a domain name like &#8220;www.yourname.com&#8221; to run your blog.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Financial Capital</strong></span><strong>:</strong></p>
<p class="home1">You need money to finance the operation of your blog. Money brings Money. The more money you invest wisely in your blog, the more money you are eligible to make from your blog. Since you want to start a money making blog it is obvious that you will need some money to sky-rocket it.</p>
<ol>
<li>You will need atleast $3 per month to pay for a domain name</li>
<li>You will need atleast $4 per month to pay for the hosting</li>
<li>You may need some money (atleast $10 per month) to pay for outbound links to your site to increase the ranking</li>
<li>You may need a graphic designer to design your blog theme, price varies with the person and your taste</li>
<li>You may pay someone to create a good looking logo for your blog</li>
<li>You may some money for advertisement</li>
<li>You may need someone to write for you</li>
<li>You may need SEO (search engine optimization) to make your blog visible to search engines</li>
<li>You may need Keyword expert to help your blog appear in top 5 of search engines</li>
<li>You may need something more</li>
</ol>
<p class="home1">The number 1-3 is what I am doing on the Website, the rest I do alone without paying anybody, but this Website pay for itself so I only needed to pay the 1-3 for just the first 3 months. Ofcourse you can go around all these without paying a cent for anything, but you will either spend lot of time doing it by yourself and the result might not be as effective as that of someone that actually pays and invest in his blog.</p>
<p class="home1"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Domain Name:</strong></span></p>
<p class="home1">Domain name is crucial, your ability to obtain the matching domain name that reflect what your blog is all about is important, you need a domain name that defines the purpose of your blog. If you choose a wrong domain name you might end up sending traffic to another Website or competitor.</p>
<p>Some people always end up purchasing already made domain names because they cannot find a domain name that defines the purpose of their blog, purchasing an already created domain name can be very expensive atimes. To date, and according to Guinness World Records and MSNBC, the most expensive domain name sales on record as of 2004 were:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Business.com for $7.5 million in December 1999</strong></li>
<li><strong>AsSeenOnTv.com for $5.1 million in January 2000</strong></li>
<li><strong>Altavista.com for $3.3 million in August 1998</strong></li>
<li><strong>Wine.com for $2.9 million in September 1999</strong></li>
<li><strong>CreditCards.com for $2.75 million in July 2004</strong></li>
<li><strong>Autos.com for $2.2 million in December 1999</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>So the earlier you start your own blog the better, if you fail to plan sometimes you can end up planning to fail. Another good news is that, if you are able to build a good and productive blog that rank well you can make huge amount of money from it in the nearest future by selling it.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Hosting Service:</strong></span></p>
<p>A blog or web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their own Website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own or lease for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called collocation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are over <strong><em>113 million Blogs and over 150 million Bloggers</em></strong>, but I believe the numbers will double in the nearest future. I have discovered six major motivations that motivates people to Blog.</p>
<h2 class="second"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>6 things that motivates Bloggers</strong></span></h2>
<ol>
<li>Documentation of  their lives</li>
<li>Providing opinions or commentaries about events</li>
<li>Expressing hobbies or emotions</li>
<li>Maintaining forums or communities</li>
<li>Creativity or writing about ideas</li>
<li>To make a living by Blogging for money.</li>
</ol>
<p class="home1"><a href="http://www.nomoref.com/images/car.PNG" target="new"> <img style="border-style: none" title="Blogging to success" src="http://www.nomoref.com/images/car.PNG" alt="Blogging to success" width="332" height="203" align="right" /><br />
</a></p>
<p>Whenever you make use of any of the majority search engines like google or yahoo, the top 10 results mostly contains pages from Blogs. Blogging is another great system to share or get your words out their with just few clicks and button hits just like twittering. How would you feel if you own a Blog or Website that appears on a search engine&#8217;s top 5  results?.<span id="more-32"></span></p>
<h2 class="second"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>17  best reasons you should start a Blog</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>It is very easy to start and manage a Blog</strong>: You do not need to know how to write a computer program  in order to start or manage a Blog, all you need to do is to choose a good blog platform that you believe suits you.You can register on any of the blog platforms and own a blog in less than 5 minutes but if you have a very slow internet connection it would take longer than that. Once you are a registered member to any of the free or paid blog platforms out there then you become a Blogger. &#8220;A Blogger?&#8221;,YES! it is as simple as that.</li>
<li><strong>It is a good way to share your thought and opinion.</strong></li>
<li><strong>It could be your personal or professional journal.</strong></li>
<li><strong>It is one of the best way to make money online</strong>: Have you ever heard of Darren Rowse?. Darren Rowse is a full time Blogger making a living from <a href="http://www.problogger.net">Problogger</a>, Digital Photography School, and TwiTip. Darren Rowse started his own Blog within 24 hours of reading an article about how to blog to success. Darren Rowse inspired a lot of bloggers on how to make money from blogging. He must have made over $400,000 from blogging since he started.</li>
<li><strong>It is a time keeper</strong>: To own and manage a Blog kind of keeps you busy. You are going to be spending some of your time updating your blog and sometimes replying to readers or customers comments. You will never get bored again. You will always have something good to do or spend your time doing. To make your blog more successful you will have to spend quality time on it atleast every two two days.</li>
<li>I<strong>t serves as an investment</strong>: While blogging is fun and interesting, it also serves as a short and long term investment. Since It takes a lot of quality content to be a successful blogger, if you are able to create a quality content and increase your readership then your quality content will pay off in the nearest future. You can make money from your quality content either by selling it directly to another blogger or to a company, or by placing ads on the same page in order to make money.</li>
<li><strong>Be your own boss by quitting your lame job</strong>: Are you tired of being a lame?, are you sick of someone telling you what to do by pushing you around like his slave?, can you read and write?, do you have access to a computer that has internet connection?, do you have a hobby, thought, or opinion to share with the world and enough time to spend sharing it?, if your answers are YES then I believe blogging is meant for you. So many successful bloggers quit their daily jobs because their blogs are paying off, and they are making more money than they were making from their old daily jobs. The good news is that you don&#8217;t have to quit your daily job the very first day you start blogging but you may quit it if what you make from blogging is enough for you to live in peace.</li>
<li><strong>Update your customers</strong>: If you are able to run a successful blog about your business I am very sure your business will be much more successful as well and it will also make your business more competitive and also increase your sales. Blogging is another great way to keep your customers up to date about your latest product release or change in service, and at the same time it is a fast way to get customer review and make a market survey.</li>
<li>Grow your business: If you manage to optimize your blog and create quality content and provide a great customer service, your business will grow exponentially. Because your blog is well optimized and search engine friendly your sales will sky rocket, new potential customers will start to find your blog through searches and get to know more about your product or service and make use of it. It will not only increase your blog visitors but also Grow your business.</li>
<li>Write a book: It is very easy to make an entry to a blog or make a post which makes it easy for you to update your story. The best way to write a book is to blog about the title. The readership will tell you if it is a book worth publishing or not. The more quality content you are able to create while blogging about the title the better your chances to make a good sales. You could start by creating a mini series of (&#8221;your title here&#8221;) and update it whenever you want to.</li>
<li><strong>Self discipline</strong>: You get to learn more about time management and stuffs if you own a blog. I will tell you one simple fact, blogging can be addictive sometimes because it is very interesting and you are sometimes thriving hard to make it better and to increase your sales or traffic which may lead to getting addicted to blogging and losing connection with the real world. You get to learn how to manage your time and put first things first in order not to lose connection with the real world around you. Its as simple as that. period.</li>
<li>I<strong>t makes you smarter and wiser</strong>: The more you blog and thrive to make your blog look better and worthy the more you become smarter and wiser. You get to learn new things and meet new people. If your blog supports comment box then you will start to read great comments and ideas from smart readers which in return makes you a better blogger and writer.</li>
<li><strong>You meet new people while Blogging</strong>: Read before you write. To become a successful blogger you need to read more from other successful bloggers which makes you kind of know them virtually from their writings. If you provide a reader with a good information that he was looking for, he becomes one of your potential readers. Having a comment box helps most in this case.</li>
<li><strong>You will become a hero</strong>: If you run a blog that educates or provide good information and solution to nowadays problem, if people are able to search and find answers to their problems on your blog you are going to be their hero. It is as simple as that. You don&#8217;t only become their hero but they will also pay back by donating or buying your product.</li>
<li><strong>Improves your writing skills</strong>: Look at the first posts I wrote and compare them to stuff I do nowadays. I certainly think my writing has improved a lot over the last year or so. It’s always advantageous to improve your writing skills, especially in this day and age when text speak has caused people to pick up a lot of sloppy, bad habits. The neat thing though, is that because blogging is typically done in a casual style, you don’t have that pressure to write like you were a professional.</li>
<li><strong>It is cheap</strong>: Blogging at a basic level is very cheap, with only costs being internet access and sometimes hosting. Even those costs can be covered by the money you can make from it. A little bit of effort on a regular basis can pay huge dividends, having that one carefully crafted post break big and send thousands of people your way is incredibly satisfying.</li>
<li><strong>Makes you a Blogger <img src='http://www.nomoref.com/blogging/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong>: You will be proud or yourself whenever you open your Blog site and see what you have done with your past. Your family will be proud of you, as well as your friends. Plus it pays off. Put yourself together and make your dreams come true. Go get it!!!!.</li>
</ol>
<p>Good luck with your dreams, I hope I was able to help you little with my words.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="home1">The first day a good friend of mine introduced me to Blogging and how to make a fortune from it, the very first question I asked him was &#8220;Who is Blogging suitable for&#8221;. It is obvious that out of 100% of Bloggers only 1% are making real income from their Blogs, which equally means that everybody cannot be a successful Blogger. So the question is do you want to be part of the successful Bloggers or do you want to be part of the Bloggers that only Blog for the sake of Blogging?.<span id="more-23"></span></p>
<p class="home1">Back to my short story. My good friend answered my question and gave me more insight on Blogging to success. Afterward I made few researches about the definition of a Blog, who a Blogger is, the top 100 niches and many more. I created this special post to help you understand &#8220;Who Blogging is suitable for&#8221;.</p>
<p class="home1">I would like to start with the definition of a Blog. Because there are more than 10 million Bloggers Blogging for different reasons, it is difficult to find a perfect definition for a Blog. But I came up with the best 4 definitions that I believe defines what a Blog is all about and also reflects the values of Blogging.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Top 4 Definitions of a Blog</span></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ladies and Gentlemen I hereby present to you in 394 words, how the terms Blogging, Blog, Blogger was first started, Origins, the geniuses behind the words, the year the word was first used and its purpose. Since Blogging occurs on the World Wide Web one can say the creator of the World Wide Web is the first person known to be a Blogger.<span id="more-10"></span></p>
<ul>
<li class="home">
<p class="home1"><strong>Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee</strong> is an English engineer and computer scientist and MIT professor credited with inventing the World Wide Web, making the first proposal for it in March 1989. On 25 December 1990, with the help of Robert Cailliau and a young student staff at CERN, he implemented the first successful communication between an HTTP client and server via the Internet. In 2007, he was ranked Joint First, alongside Albert Hofmann, in <em>The Telegraph</em>&#8217;s list of 100 greatest living geniuses.</p>
</li>
<li class="home">
<p class="home1">Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee is the first person to create a Blog<br />
(<a title="History" href="http://www.w3.org/History/19921103-hypertext/hypertext/WWW/News/9201.html" target="_blank">http://www.w3.org/History/19921103-hypertext/hypertext/WWW/News/9201.html</a>) in my opinion. And he is also a living genius. It takes a smart thinking mind to realize why Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee is the creator and the first person to blog, if you try to open the link I posted about his work in the 90&#8217;s you will realize that he was blogging. He blogged about his research and success and he shared them online just like anyBloggeris doing.</p>
<p class="home1">
</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="second"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The origin of the term &#8220;Blog&#8221;.</span></h2>
<p class="home1"><strong>Jorn Barger</strong> is an American blogger, best known today as editor of <em><br />
Robot Wisdom</em>, an influential early weblog. Barger coined the term <em>weblog</em> to describe the process of &#8220;logging the web&#8221; as he surfed. The short form, &#8220;blog,&#8221; was later coined by Peter Merholz.</p>
<p>In 1999, Blogger and Pitas began to offer a simpler way to create a weblog. These hosted services allowed any person to easily sign up, create a blog, and write numerous postings. All without having to know <span>HTML</span>.</p>
<p><strong>Pyra Labs</strong> launched Blogger On August 23, 1999 As one of the earliest dedicated blog-publishing tools, it is credited for helping popularize the format.</p>
<p>Pyra Labs was acquired by Google under undisclosed terms In February 2003. The acquisition allowed premium features (for which Pyra had charged) to become free. About a year later, Pyra Labs co-founder, Evan Williams, left Google.</p>

<p>Good luck with your dreams, I hope I was able to help you little with my words.</p>

<p class="home1">The year is going to an end, but nothing seems to be working as thought, the wall clock is ticking click click reminding you of how fast everything around you is changing. Would you like to <strong>make money from the internet</strong> by owning a <strong>Blog</strong> and telling the world about your <strong>hobby with pleasure?</strong>, if your answer is <strong>YES!!!</strong> then you are welcome to <strong>NoMoreF For Bloggers</strong>.</p>
<ol>
<li>Do you have a <strong>hobby?</strong></li>
<li>Will it remain your hobby for the next <strong>years</strong> to come?</li>
<li>Would you like to share it with the <strong>world?</strong></li>
<li>Is it <strong>worth</strong> it?</li>
<li>Do you have access to a <strong>computer and internet?</strong></li>
<li>Are you a computer <strong>novice?</strong></li>
<li>Are you ready to <strong>tell</strong> the world about it?</li>
<li>Are your answers <strong>yes</strong>?.<span id="more-6"></span></li>
</ol>
<p class="home1">Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you the world fastest growing technology in 17 words and the world fastest growing communication system in 34 words:</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal; "><strong>The Internet</strong>: The Internet is a international standardized global system of interconnected computer networks that connects millions of people.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal; "><strong>A Blog</strong>: A blog (a contraction of the term &#8220;weblog&#8221;) is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video.</span></li>
</ol>
<p class="home1">I have created a mini series to introduce you to Blogging to success, to tell you short history of Blog, and many more. would you like to Blog and make money from Blogging?, or would you like to Blog just for the fun of it?, in NoMoreF For Bloggers I will assist you with both options by sharing with you what successful bloggers don&#8217;t like sharing with the newbie, I will share the secrets of Blogging to success with you and how you can build a great community around your Blog.</p>
<p class="home1">In this mini series I will write lots about my experiences as a Blogger since I started in 2008. Its a pity that most people that owns a blog or planning to start a blog don&#8217;t care much about the definitions, the history, and the introduction to Blogging which I believe should be the first thing any Blogger must learn/know in order to build a great community around their Blogs and for those who wants to Blog for money it also helps by creating a straight forward road to success. If you are able to learn and understand top five definitions of a Blog then you are one step closer to building a successful and profitable Blog.</p>
<p class="home1">Knowing all these things will help you in your decisions about what you should Blog about, how to choose your niche and the most important part is that it will help you in building a Blog with a very strong foundation on the chosen niche and assist you in building a community around it which in return leads to high profits.</p>
