When everybody is really into blogging, the joy and excitement of using the various type of themes, tools and plugins would make someone lost their focus in writing. In blogging, people is looking forward to read your information, tips and personal, not to see some miscellaneous things that you had embedded on your blog.

Here are some advises on Don’t Do :

• Blog Being Revamped or under maintainance

When you came across the maintaince page, what would you feel as a reader? Of course you will not to visit the blog again since you don’t know when will the blog will be up again. As a serious blogger, the main thing that really important for them is visitors. When visitors pay a visit, they would not consider to make a visit again after seeing the notice. In their perspective, they will likely to make another visit for 2-3 weeks. Instantly, you will losing your visitors.

Blinkblog say,

Why do you care to revamp your website? You are using wordpress! This script is super great and you don’t even need to close your blog for modification. This is a dynamic site not a static site. In fact, there are thousand of wordpress theme are ready to be used. I am simply say that even your so-called maintaince page is beautiful, you just losing your credibility as a blogger.

• Bandwidth Exceeded

It is totally a piss off when seeing the bandwidth exceeded message. From my experience, if you receive an enormous amount of traffic, please do upgrade your hosting package. Instead of earning a lot of traffic, you will lose the visitors instantly. Especially when your blog cannot be accessed for the whole month. There is another method, deal with the hosting company to bill an extra charges on excessive bandwidth, not to block it.

BlinkBlog say,

Most of the company will be charging an extra Usd 1 for every 1000 MB of bandwidth. I’m rather to spend more money on buying a better hosting package than losing my site’s visitors. For me, visitors are priceless. They come once, they like, they would stay.

• Too Many Unnecessary Button

There is when you come to one blog, it do has a lot of button. I mean, really much of it! To make more clearer, some noob will think that by putting more button will make their blogs look cooler and even better. In fact, the button is use to link some other’s blog. It does take a lot of bandwidth and loading page times. From expert’s experience, readers will stay not more than 8 seconds for your pages to load, so the faster is the better.

Blinkblog say,
I don’t understand why we have to put other links by applying the button. For me, by putting the links in blogroll is enough. Fact, some of us are paying more than Usd20 per month just for buying a text link ads. So, by putting a button in your blog don’t make a sense for you, unless they are really giving you money. Thus, putting the button just costing you more bandwidth and more money to spent with.

If your are addicted to Ajax function, you should know about Lightbox. It is a simple script in which it showing the photo and webpage in the layer format. For example, you click an image for enlarging from thumbnails to full size. The lightbox script will overlay images on the current page. Instead of going to another new page, you will be given a new layer for viewing, no more distracted with the loading of images.

 Now, there is another lightbox for video. But this time it’s being called as VideoBox. The VideoBox is a 6kb script, that shows your video in the page with overlay. If you prefer to show the video in thumbnails format, VideoBox is the best solution.

PlayStation Portable device is one of the popular console among teenagers. I’m not someone that really addicting to game because my brain cannot think more than 20 seconds to solve the puzzle in the game. So, I hate playing any console such as PS2, Xbox and PSP. Believe me, all my friends are thinking that I’m a pretty weird compare to them.

But, not to this developer, Nazri a.k.a Tekong who is developing the Al-Quran for PSP. He is not only playing the game, but also sacrificing his time by developing this great software for Muslims. This project codename is Raise, Islamic Content For Playstation Portable. This software is available to be downloaded at their blog for free. Since this is the first and foremost Islamic content in the world, Raise is still in development status and need to be updated at each release.

This project had been widely being publicize in Malaysian magazine and newspaper. Therefore, I bravely said that his project is a huge success towards Muslims and MMU. Well, if you owned a PSP, make a visit to Raise official blog and download the software.

Update : The latest update from Raise is the monthly magazine. It is in PDF format and you need to transfer it into PSP memory stick to make it readable. Raise 6 - Ramadhan + Syawal Edition

This is a great service on advertising. Kumomo.com is a dynamic site on matching the advertiser with the publisher. If you own a blog, you can sell your available ads space through their site. The best thing is, Kumomo doesn’t charge any processing fees. But you have to donate 1% of your revenue to Kumomo Tree Charity Project. I think this is a great idea because you can make a goodwill while selling your ads space.

The market place is listing the targeted publisher for your products. If you are owning a financial company, just do a search on ‘financial’ term and Kumomo will listing all the available publishers.

The price that being set by the publishers also are reasonable. For example, some blogs that received 20K+ unique visitors per month is selling the available ads space for USD20-30/month.

So, make a visit to Kumomo.com and sell the available ads space and make a contribution to charity.

When you are capturing a massive of photos but just left it inside your hard disk, I think you can make use all your photos for photo blogging.

Well, a picture worth thousand words.
