Not if you are not interested in blogging. A blog is born every half second which means two blogs are created every second.
In the past few months, I’ve been learning so much about wordpress blogs and I have a brother that’s so good and builds his own custom themes. I also have been contacted by a few newbie bloggers to help setup a proper blog but they wonder why I advocate wordpress.

2 days ago, we looked at using keyword SEO for blogs. Here are 7 Link SEO Tips that will help to improve your site’s ranking in the Search Engine Results.
LINKS
1. Anchor Text of Inbound & Outbound Links
Anchor Text is the word within a hyperlink.

If used wisely, it will boost your rankings in search engines, especially in Google. As a major rule, DO NOT USE “click here” for an anchor text.

KEYWORDS

A most important factor for higher keyword ranking is to have it within the <title> tag. This tag is what shows up in the clickable link on the SERP (search engine results page). I have since learnt that what appears in the beginning is more important than what comes next.
Always put your Primary Keyword first. I recommend use of an indispensable Platinum SEO plugin to help you optimize your <title> without muddling up your theme code.

10 Commandments of Change
By · Comments
Change is the only thing constant in life and it is always changing
.
I love life because nothing stays the same forever. So if something isn’t going on right at the moment, remember “it is coming to pass”…away – so cheer up.
With that said, if you so not change, you will be like the tree that refuses to bend in the various directions of the wind – they all break.
Here are the 10 commandment of change:
1. Have A Desire to Change
A desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul. Desire results from Passion and Passion is the Energy of Life. Once you nurture the desire, it becomes so powerful that it consumes you.

Blogging Lessons from Hip Hop Artistes
By · CommentsI like hiphop. I think it’s cool and the rappers are lyrical geniuses but that is not what this all about. Rather it is all about something these guys do that can be applied to your life and of course your blogging experience.
Most hip-hop artistes have different styles of doing their thing and if you listen hard enough, it gets to a point when you can distinguish them from another or identify who’s song you are listening to before you hear a second word.
Lesson 1: BE DISTINCT
Bloggers should be unique just has we all have different finger prints.
If someone looks at your blog or reads your posts at different times and thinks “Hmm, I have read something like that on xxx’s blog before” then I think we know who the copycat blogger is.
