I joined bucks4banners.net exactly a month ago, I could have told you by then but I wanted to try it out to see whether it works, and today’s payment proved it.

So how does it work? Simple, as long as you own a domain.

bucks4banners pays you £5 a month, yeah, is in Pound Sterling, NOT US dollar, for you to place 3 banners on your site.

Another good thing to note is that upon an approved sign-up, you will receive £10.00 credited to your account. You can receive payments in the form of vouchers from their partners such as Amazon or Paypal which you need to select the cash option on your details section.

Here is an overview of how it works:

• Enter your contact information
• Indicate which 3 pages you wish to display the adverts on
• Within 72 hours they will provide you with your advertising banner and code if approved
• Place these on to your site

In another word, you’ll get £70 (including the £10 upon sign up) a year for displaying 3 banners on your site, what could be simpler than this?

If you afraid that the banners will spoil your website’s overall design, don’t worry, you can place the banner at any archive pages. For my blog, I choose my main page and 2 most hits archive pages to place the banner because I want to give courtesy for something I got paid.

I’ve made the effort to try it, and proved that it works. So what are you hesitate for? It only takes you less than 5 minutes to complete the whole process.

What is AddThis? Well, it is two fold really.

With the AddThis Web Buttons, web publishers make it easier for their visitors to collect content from their websites or blogs, and send it to their favorite destinations, including social media services. The button currently comes in four types: bookmark buttons, feed buttons, product buttons, and podcast buttons. Product buttons, for example, are a very powerful way for web publishers to help their visitors remember and spread the word about the products they sell. With a simple click, visitors can quickly and easily collect information about these products and include it in their shopping research. Web Buttons can be added onto web pages or emails with a simple cut-and-paste. TypePad widgets are also available. Add This also provides statistics showing web publishers what content is collected the most on their website, blog, or email communications.

With a single button, the AddThis Browser Button, web users can collect the content they come across and save it into their favorite bookmarking service, feed reader, shopping service, or podcast reader. The Add This Browser Button is easy to install and easy to use. It works with both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. With its simplicity, the Add This Browser Button could well become the preferred method for collecting information online.

You can add the button to your website or your browser, and when clicked it will open up this window for you to bookmark the content:

then choose your favorite feeder or social bookmark, that’s it. One click for all.

In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve already added two buttons on my sidebar.

How many times you answer this question.

I would like to introduce Twitter to my fellow readers.

Twitter is for staying in touch and keeping up with friends no matter where you are or what you’re doing. For some friends you might want instant mobile updates—for others, especially friends you made through various forums or simply your blog readers, you can just update them on the web.

The updates are displayed on the your profile page and also instantly delivered to other users who have signed up to receive your update. You can also put a Twitter badge in your blog/website to display your recent updates, you can even design your own display, just like mine. Apart from that, users can receive updates via the Twitter website, instant messaging, SMS, RSS, or through an application. For SMS, currently two gateway numbers are available: one for the USA and a UK number for international use. While the Twitter service is free, posting and receiving updates via SMS may incur charges from the wireless carrier.

Millions are already signed up, what are you waiting? Sign up now and follow me on Twitter!

I have to release this incomplete version because the previous theme doesn’t show more archives, which I need to get my blog approve for PayPerPost.

Will fix this ASAP. Apologize for any inconvenient.

So, what is a blog?

Blog is short for weblog, is a web-based journal in which people can publish their thoughts and opinions on the Internet. Anyone can start a blog. It’s straight-forward and, in a lot of cases, free. Most blogs are primarily textual although some focus on photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), or audio (podcasting), and are part of a wider network of social media.

Let’s start with the free blog. There are many free blog service providers which you can start with. Most of the sites have pre-install templates and user friendly control panel that don’t require much technical know-how.

1. Wordpress
2. LiveJournal
3. Blogger
4. Blogcharm
5. Blog
6. Diaryland
and many many more.

As a beginner, I would suggest you to try out all the free blog services until you find one which you are most comfortable with, it is free, why not? If you reluctant to try out one by one, I would recommend you to start with Wordpress and Blogger. If you want to get paid to blog, try Blogcharm.

Apart from the above free blog services, you can also host your blog on your own web hosting with your very own domain. But why would you want to pay for something you could get it free? First, you will get your very own domain name (it’s cool!) and you will have total freedom on how your blog will look. There is also another great benefit hosting your own blog, I’ll talk bout this later. Typical hosting fees is around 7USD per month (US provider) or about £8 per month (UK provider) for one year subscription.

Next, I will show you how to register and start blogging using Wordpress and Blogcharm. So stay tuned

P/S Did you know you can search blog content using google blog search?

After reading Yvonne’s post on Blog commentating is a lonely hobby, I share the same thoughts.

More and more people are into blogging, there are millions of new blogs created everyday, but do they know what and why are they blogging? If you ask, “why are you blogging?”, they might not have a clue. May be they blog because their friends are blogging, or just set up a blog so they are not well behind the trend? That’s why you see some of the blog aren’t updated for months. If you ask the second question, “what are you blogging then?”, they properly stunned.

Okie, back to the topic. We look at this blog thingie in different ways. Blog can be a place where you kept your daily diaries and thoughts, a place where you keep your close one up to date. It also can be a perfect media where you share your designs, photos or a script that you have spent many unsleepable nights writting up. It also acts as a platform where you discuss your point of views on current issues. Some people even set up a blog to worship their idols.Of course, many people just rant and rave about basically everything in their blogs.

Right, whatever your blog function is, do you think blogging would be better if the readers and writters are interacing with each other? Or do you just prefer to write the post up and that’s the end of the story? Do you return and check your comments? And how would you feel if the writer is not responding yours?

Let’s discuss.

“Our Youths Can Be Corrected?”
Youth today are a serious social problem. They are involved in loitering, drug abuse, lax sexual behavior and even crime. Parents, the education system, the mass media and society have been blamed for it. Youths are the nation’s most important resource, They are the future caretakers and leaders of the nation. Something must be done to save them.

Many say parents are to blame for the youths of today becoming a serious social problem. They say that parents are too involved in making money. Usually, to obtain as much money as possible, both parents work. So, they are not at home most of the time and their are neglected. The children have no parental love. They are not guided and controlled.

The result is they end up loitering in shopping centres and other places. They may also become involved in drug and neglect their studies. Consequently, their grades fall and they often get into trouble with the school authorities for disciplinary problems. The education system also creates problems for youths. The system stresses only academic performance, so it is a torture to those who are not academically inclined.

Furthermore, there are too much sex and violence on television. Society is also to blame. It has forgotten morality and decency. It has become too materialistic. People think that any way of making money is all right. So, they cheat or become involved in corrupt practices. Who can blame the youths for following the bad examples shown by society.

To solve the social problems of our youths, all the weaknesses must be corrected. Parents must spend more time with children so that they do not become involved in undesirable activities. The education system should be revamped. Those who are not good academically can study at vocational schools where they can learn skills or trade.

In this way, the youths can earn an honest living and do not become parasites living on others. Besides this, there should be greater control over the mass media. Sex and violence should not be glorified. All objectional subjects should be avoided by the mass media. Lastly, society should be taught about decency and morality. In this way, youths will be influenced not to become involved in undesirable activities.

In my opinion, my belief is that the social ills of our youths can be corrected if the right measures are taken. How about you?

Youth problems happen every where. The yobbish behaviour of England’s younger generation is one of the biggest problem to Labour Party. In my opinion, the thugs here are more violent, and cause huge problems to the local neighbourhood.

I think Eeleen has got some good points there, well done Eeleen.
