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. Once a weblog author publishes a post, the other blogger receives a notification, and through moderation process can permit or refuse the trackback. They moderate it just like a regular comment. If they permit it, trackback will show in comment sector of their post, with linkback to the first blogger.

blog anonymously, hide your identity and stay safe

Why would you blog anonymously, hiding your name and anything what relates to you? This is for some special occasions.
Let’s say you live in the country with autocratic political regime, and authorities are pretty ruthless to every type of resistance and everyone who has bad words to actual regime. And you do not want to expose too much private data while blogging.
Above all, you really want your country to become better and opened to the world with more freedom for people. And the truth is that you persistently want to help people who are fighting against brutal regime. Regimes can be more or less brutal, but lets say you are dealing here with considerable ruthless one, and further more you are sick of watching glutton and lust people who are close to government and regime, and on the other hand people leaving hard in agony and even poverty.
And reality is that you are a blogger, and your weapons are your computer, blog platform and content of what you have to say. With blogging you want to help resistance and to expend the word and that way include more people in fight. Blogging for freedom. But, lets just for example, say that you have a friend who also was blogging about corruption and regime evilness, but few posts latter police came on the door and took him away. Few months later he is out of jail but he has changed drastically, don’t talk much, and he don’t want to fight anymore and blogging on that subject is not an option further. You are angry.
So let me ask you, are you the one who will persist here? But the bottom line here is how to blog anonymously.
I have read an interesting article on this subject which shows you how to hide yourself on the internet, outlining several methods for blogging anonymously:
- using pseudonyms
- public computers
- anonymous proxies
- MixMaster, Invisiblog and GPG
This list is an extract from Zuckerman’s article on this topic. And i suggest you read it and find how is hard to stay anonymous online. Even applying this you have to be more technical to be sure you hide yourself if you want that. The article is showing through example where character Sarah who works in a government sees deputy minister is stealing large amounts of money from the government. She was afraid to reveal that. Even if she hide her name on blog they can find her IP adress. And to the difference of my example it can happen in any country.
Which WordPress Theme to choose?
April 30, 2008
The best course of action to take sometimes isn’t clear until you’ve listed and considered your alternatives. The same is when you are choosing WordPress theme. The best platform for blogging, in my opinion, is WordPress. WordPress with its themes can give you professional looking site, and there are so many different free WordPress themes to choose from.
The best way is to choose blogging theme which is frequently updated. That way you are sure your theme will respond to all your requirements. I can say there are few free WordPress themes which are excellent, and you can find decent help. For instance, cutline WordPress theme is very popular, and that is not accident. It’s free, support is strong with even forum, so users can that way change and adjust cutline WordPress theme to own needs. Recently they have released new update.

Web 2.0 simplified
March 28, 2008
I am on the beginning here, this is my 5th or 6th post on this blog, and I want to make web 2.0 easy to understand for all who visit my blog. Recently, I spoke with my friend who is not much internet guy. I was telling him that I have started the blog where the main topic is web 2.0 and he asked me “but what actually is’ web two point nil’?”
So I want here to make it clear with an example, which will show the difference between “web 1.0” and “web 2.0”.
We can consider web 1.0 as digital library, where owner of the site makes the content of the site, and the visitor can read that content.
But with web 2.0 the internet is no longer only the digital depository library that we visit to read. It is a dynamic platform where we (visitors) can change, respond and contribute with many different actions we take. If you post a comment on blog, if you create your own page on social network site, if you post a video on youtube……you contribute that way and all that is web 2.0.
Sure, internet users have always been able to contribute to the old 1.0 way, where we could purchase a domain and build up an internet site or contribute on discussion boards or forums – but web 2.0 sites take things much more further. Sites that comprise 2.0 rules literally respond and can change form fitting into the demands of its users.
What do you think of when someone uses the term ‘Web Two Point O”?
Blogging?
RSS?
Tagging?
Comments?
Second Life?
Social Networks?
Flicker?
Digg? Del.icio.us?
The list can go further very long, and all are aspects of 2.0 and I will look at many of them individually on this blog.
Good examples of how Web 2.0 principles are shaping the internet are Wikipedia and Craigslist.
Wikipedia is an astonishing phenomenon. You seldom hear web users linking to dictionary or encyclopedia sources any longer. Instead they refer to a Wiki page. The Wikipedia is ‘encyclopedia that anyone can edit’. In most cases, anyone can supply or pinch info on any theme.
Other Wiki contributors, called Wikipedians, can adjust misinformation or even in cases of discrepancy, come to a consensus through fundamental interaction on a talk page.
Isn’t it stimulating that the humanity has shown an explicit preference for information that are left and maintained by the humanity itself rather than by a publishing company?
On Craigslist anyone in many locations can search out trades, businesses, jobs, relationships, rentals and events. Posting on Craigslist is free in almost all cases, although there are a few situations where it costs money to put up a job or housing ad in select areas.
Hereafter I will certainly go in details with many web 2.0 resource.
