Hello everyone! The very popular site JohnChow.com will not only help us bloggers about money making and marketing online! Have you heard of their great contest? They're giving away $4000 cash prizes sponsored by Onlineradiostations.com!
I just stumbled upon that said site and viola! It is an online radio streaming site, worldwide! I was shocked because almost all the radio stations all over the world are there and you are free to listen. They're tracking a lot of genres that will perfectly match one's interest, especially for those who use music to express their selves and deep emotions. The site is easy to navigate, radio stations are listed in a very orderly manner.
As I was browsing the list of radio stations, I found out that there are 30 stations listed from the Philippines. so cool right? I can't find WWR 101.9, but then I listened to World Music 1741 which is the same radio station as Energy Fm 91.5 here at PH! Ofcourse I will always love listening to our very own Pinoy Music, and I love the humor of Energy FM even when they're on a commercial. It never got me bored!
Thanks JohnChow for letting us know about the onlineradiostations.com! Ciao!

Is it Necessary to Register Domain for a Blog?
This is a post that is all about the domain names of blogs. For me, it's really not a must that we place a domain in the blog.. as long as we're satisfied, it's enough:)
Many websites provide easy means to create a Blog (eg: blogger.com). The only drawback that you come across is that you won’t have your personal domain name, as an alternative your blog address would be something like: yourblogname.blogspot.com and so on. As long as you write attractive posts, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have a domain name. The only significant element is the quality of your content.
However, if you desire to be identified and kept in mind among loads of other blogs then it is better to have your own domain name rather than a sub-domain. But if you are planning to write on less popular subject such as your pets, then perhaps you won’t require your own domain name. In case you are a professional and desire to create a blog that would assist you in constructing your professional status then it is very essential for you to register your own domain name.
Many of the free blog hosts provide unlimited room for your text but not for videos and photographs and music that you wish to upload and share with your readers. It would have a big impact if you have huge amount of readers and if your posts are straightly aimed towards media interests. All good web hosting providers will give you huge space that is enough to post loads of images, music and videos. Owning a Domain Name might make you appear professional but it may not make you a Pro-blogger. A few ad networks don’t permit your site if it doesn’t have its own domain name. A few free blog services don’t let you add ads in your blog. Sometimes if you don’t have a domain name, you would be losing some profit. But if you succeed in drawing some visitors and RSS subscribers then your blog has the possibility of earning income. Blog can earn some additional income for small investment.

Selecting A Blog Platform
I've been reading this post and find it so interesting because it explains different blogging platforms, plus the next steps to be done.
There are a number of questions regarding which blog platform to select. You cannot specifically say which blog platform is the best to select because it totally depends on the purpose of your blog. Here are some factors that you would want to consider in selecting a blog platform.
There are a huge number of blogs platforms available in the market. You could change your blog platform anytime later if you wish to, majority of them have methods of importing and exporting the matter later. Normally there are some costs attached with such transfers. It is wise not to hurry and select the first option you come across. Take some time to decide, research a little and you could come across a perfect platform that would last for a long time. Try to answer the questions given below and you might end up getting the perfect track.
The most fundamental thing to do while selecting a blog platform is to keep in mind what is your requirement and purpose of your blog. Beginners would find it a little tricky to make a decision. But considering the following questions would help you to decide easily.
* What is the key purpose of your blog?
* Would you like to continue blogging for a longer period?
* Are you thinking of adding ads on your blog?
* Are you planning to start the blog as a hobby or as a professional?
There would be many other doubts you would want to clear. It’s a good thing to clear these doubts with some research because there are a few platforms that are suitable for people who want to maintain a blog as a hobby and the ones who think of maintaining it professionally.
If you are planning to select Wordpress, then it’s a good choice. This blog is using WordPress. You may easily install it with one click at webhosts that support wordpress.
Blog platforms are available in a wide selection. You will come across the ones that are free of cost and also paid ones. But you really don’t need paid ones, as wordpress and blogger are great and free! (plus others too). There are three essential things that are worth paying for. They are:
* Domain Name
* Blog Hosting
Various blogging platforms provide diverse levels of service. A few of them like Wordpress and Blogger provide platform, domain name and free hosting as well. But it’s better to get your own host, and install the free platform on it.
The other expenses that you would want to consider in the initial stage are:
Design: each platform is available with free templates. However, if you wish to have a more personal look then you will have to know some design skills or take the help of someone who can design or get a design by paying.
Blog tools: There are huge amount of tools that are available if you pay for them, to help your blogging better. They contain stats packages, offline blog posting tools etc. If you are new to blogging you will not need these tools but as you get deep into it, you might need them.
If you are a newbie in the field of blogging and not too technologically minded then there are a few blog platforms that are better suited for you. The other alternative is to search for someone who could help you technically. The best part about blogging is that there are a wide range of information available as well as some devoted forums that help people to understand more about the platforms they have selected. While selecting a platform it would be good to find out what others are into. In the past few years a number of platforms have taken birth and later perished and it would continue to happen.
Once you are clear with the above questions then you will have to ask yourself if you want a hosted platform or a stand alone platform.
Hosted Blog Platforms:
Hosted blog platform is a kind which many bloggers select in the beginning just for the reason that they are easy to use and less expensive. The most popular hosted blog platform is blogger.com. However you will also find platforms such as MSN spaces and Wordpress.com. These platforms are hosted blog platforms as they host the blogs on their own domain. Once your blog is created, you will be given a web address that is normally a combination of the name of your blog and their own URL.
Stand Alone Blog Platforms:
The other type of blog platform is stand alone platform that is hosted under your personal domain. Textpattern, B2Evolution, are some of the stand alone blog platforms that you can make use of.

What is a Blog?
This Post Is For A Real Beginner! Yes it's true. I learned a lot from this post from Miss Rose. I really find it interesting because it explains a lot about blog especially to newbies who finds blog as a "boring diary"
Before one enters into the blogging it is better to know what a blog is all about. There are varieties of ways to answer this question, from the simplest way to a highly technical one. Given below are few definitions of a blog.
A blog is a chain of text, images, data and media objects put together in a chronological order that could be viewed with the help of a HTML browser.

Discovering A Perfect Web Hosting Provider For Your Blog
Here is a post from the site of Miss Rose. This is somewhat great because it will really help you find a perfect web host that will give you a chance to have your own blog.
There are tons of web hosting providers. When you look for a web hosting provider for your blog the thing that you can almost neglect are the bandwidth and disk space. Many web hosting providers offer huge disk space and bandwidth that are much more than what you need.
They most important element is the safety of data. You cannot even think of missing all your data that you have worked on for years due to hardware failure on the web server. The web hosting providers must always keep a backup copy of data that is hosted through their servers. You mast also be able to get total technical help and time you are in need. Majority of the web hosting providers do not succeed in doing so.
To know how good the blog is just visit the forums and learn what the other users feel about the site. You should also make sure that the blog is accessible to your costumers all the time. Find out if you web hosting provider is providing Control Panel or not. Control panel lets you handle the files in your directory on the web server, track visitors, create e-mail, make use of disk space and bandwidth and much more.
Try to look for a medium sized web hosting provider as companies that have loads of domains could slow down the speed. A medium sized company contains sufficient number of users to rely on and yet they aren’t too large. If you want to install Wordpress then you will require a web hosting provider who provides PHP and MySQL database installed. Most of the web hosting providers have it but the cheaper ones may not have MySQL database. If the web hosting is not up to the mark then you may have to face a huge amount of problems. Thus it is very necessary to be cautious while selecting a web hosting provider.

Once technical aspects are cleared with the blogging provider, you can start your blog. At this point you come to the picture and start to customize your templates and writing that you post. Majority of the people like blogging as it offers them a platform that could be utilized to exhibit their thoughts. A few people also think of it in a business prospective.
In order to become an efficient blogger you will have to lay down a schedule for yourself. Initially begin with writing down a list of at least 20 various matters to write on. You will very quickly realize that it is not that easy to provide good effective writing for your readers’ everyday. Thus you will have to find a way to write on your own style and expand it. Do not try to inculcate a style that is not naturally in you. This would bore the readers very soon and you would find it difficult to write too. Simply aim at the matter and the flow would come naturally. This doesn’t mean that you have to strain yourself. You simply have to take one step at a time.
Take a break in between and also make use of spell check. After finishing one post it is good to take a break for five to ten minutes. It makes your mind free for a while and thus increases the productivity. Always keep n my how personal you want your blog to get. You cloud reveal you name if you wish. Normally people do not use their actual name. But by using your own name, you will easily gain people’s trust. It takes sometime for people to recognize your existence. You could also install a statistical counter. It’s normally free of cost and it lets you know the number of people who have visited your blog.
If you want to raise your blog’s traffic the following ways could help you. You will have to be active in the community first by giving your remarks on other people’s blogs. Utilize the name that you would create your identity when you begin your blog. See that your remarks are short and interesting to read.

BlackJack tips and rules from rose
I'm not really into cards as I know even though there's no money involved, it's still gambling. I stumbled in one blog and found some tips about BlackJack. Found it interesting.. It says:
BlackJack Rules And Tips
The main aim of this popular game is beating the dealer and getting less than 21 points and not more than that. There is a unique style in which the score is calculated, but the pattern of scoring is easy and simple. This rule is common in real life and online casinos.
blackjack
Scoring Rules In BlackJack - 1 or 11 is the value that an Ace can have and it depends a lot on the game situation. Hand with an Ace can be hard as well as soft. In soft hand, the players can safely draw another card and there are no problems of being busted. Every card from 2 to 9 bears a respective face value. 10 is the value of 10 and all court cards; Jack, Queen and King. The rules of online Blackjack are not difficult to understand. Ace is 1 or 11, all court cards are 10 and the rest are their face value. In order to calculate the score, the total of all the cards available in the hands of a player is taken.
Terms Of BlackJack - The terminology of Blackjack is special. Hand in Blackjack is just a one player hand. There are multihand and multiplayer variations available as well which means, just like the classic blackjack rules, one player has a group of cards. These variations are played in online casino as well. Bust is a situation under which a card is drawn by a hand and 21 points are received. This can be a losing situation. In Natural hand or Blackjack hand, first two cards of a player score 21 points. This situation can be made possible only with a ten valued and ace card. Blackjack hand or natural hand is the remnant of the original rule of Blackjack. A push or tie is a game resolution where natural hand as well as equal score either win or bust. In case of a tie, the bet is returned to the player.
Play Blackjack online - Two cards are dealt by the dealer to himself and every other hand. The game begins once the dealer has dealt the cards. Every hand makes decisions in turns. A player gets the first turn in classic blackjack.
Winning In BlackJack There are no complicated blackjack betting logics and due to this the payoff table is very simple. You will be paid 1 to 1 in case your hand is the winner. In case of insurance being invoked (a situation where your bet is insured and the dealer has natural hand) you will be 2 to 1. When a player has a natural hand he or she will be paid 3 to 1. This does not apply in cases when the dealer has a natural hand too. In such cases it will be a tie and the bet will be returned.
