Top Blogging Terms

July 18, 2008


Failing to realize what basic terms mean can lead to unnecessary wandering. Following are a concise explanation of the top blog terms, planned to help the beginners in gaining a basic understanding.

1. Blogs - The word “blog” is actually short for “web log.” In essence, a web blog is an online journal. And as such is used as a place for people to share information on a topic they are interested in and offer advice to others. Not so rarely you will hear that bloggers are even able to use a blog to make money.

2. Pinging - This is a great starting tool for those who want their blog be detected by as many people as possible. At most weblog platforms this service is at no cost and will automatically notify blogging directories each time an article is posted. This will help your blog rank higher.

What’s A Trackback?

June 8, 2008


In a nutshell it’s a type of linkback. It’s a process for bloggers to send a notification and demand for linkback once they write something in one of their documents that directs to other blogger content.

If they permit it, trackback will show in comment sector of their post, with linkback to the first blogger.

Optimize Your Images Like a SEO Professional

June 3, 2008



I have decided to switch to revolution theme and will do that next week because this week I will have limited access to the internet. And this excellent WordPress theme is nice intro for my post, because its area is much smaller than xmark theme which I am using in this moment. So, my large images do not fit in the new weblog theme, and I will need to adjust them. I’ve already done that with few of them and will continue with the rest.

The point is that I need to reformat my blog images. And I want them to fit in nice, and I found that general rules (which will not cause problems in any theme) are:

  • For images, only use .jpg or .gif file formats;
  • Images on the site should be no larger than 400 x 400 pixels at the most. Even better size would be 200 x 200.
