Blogging For Beginner
Some Words To New Bloggers
Jul 19th
Finally, I come to an end for the series I make “Blogging For Beginner“.
Writing a blog is fun where you can express your feelings and thoughts through your writings. You can say about almost anything, from your personal experience into an article which educate other people about doing something. For example, you can write a blog about your daily life activities for your friends and family to read or you may also write a blog about your hobby. Let say you have a hobby to go to jungle trekking every weekend. You can blog about it and post and update about your activity every week. Don’t forget this fun.
While growing your blog from personal interest, you might as well attracts a strangers to read your blog. These strangers and then change and becoming your loyal readers. They might as well tell their other friends about your blog. Just like the example above. These people might as well have a very high interest in doing jungle trekking and perhaps they are looking for a new place to go for a jungle trekking. They found your blog.
When your blog have grow into this level, then maybe you think you can make this hobby into a money maker.
Email Subscription For Your Blog
May 8th
Hello, how was your day? This post is one of episode in “Blogging For Beginner” series.
Email subscription is to target people who like to be feed with your new post every time there is new post published at your blog. This is a very convenient way to change your visitors into a loyal readers.
There are many ways how to do this. But here, I will show you the way which is free and easy.
The answer is using the Feedburner Email Subscription feature.
Feed and Feedburner
Jan 9th
Feed and Feedburner are friends.
If you try to separate them, then your blogging life will be miserable.
Feed and Feedburner are blogging tools.
Without them, you will not have loyal readers or returning visitors.
Feed being published and then being “burned” by Feedburner. (Obviously the name.)
Feed is original no extra interactivity.
Feedburner add many extra interactivity into your original feed and even offer email subscription.
This is not comparison.
No feed, then no feedburner.
But no feedburner, there will always feed.
Some people are too afraid to give away their emails, they subscribe to feed using feed reader.
Some people hates feed reader and prefer reading emails, we have email subscription by feedburner. It’s like we’re having an email list without the need to subscribe to paid services like aweber…
We can put Google Adsense ads into the feed burner.
To view your blog feed, the url format is like this… http://pangeran.org/feed/
To go to feedburner, go here https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=feedburner&continue=http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/myfeeds
Login to your Google Account before doing so.

Submit Your Blog To Google Webmaster Tools
Nov 25th
Hello there, at this stage you should have a good looking stable blog. ?The next level is you want to pull as much organic traffic as you can. ?To get organic traffic, obviously your blog should be crawled by spiders from search engines such as Google, Yahoo! and Bing.
To wait for your blog to be discovered naturally might take a long time. ?A month, if you are lucky. ?A year is the most natural period. ?But of course you don’t want to wait that long if you could make your blog discovered within the matter of a minute or two. Am I right?
So, we need to show up, registering ourself to Google, introduce our blog and invite their bots to crawl into our blog.
Change Theme
Nov 24th
Some people call it style, some layout, and some skins. ?But when it comes to WordPress, we call it theme. ?WordPress have incredibly flexible theming system and I bet that’s why people use WordPress by the way.
At this stage, you have get yourself a good domain name, web hosting, and you have install WordPress on it, optimize all the settings and etc. But your blog still have the default looking theme like below.

WordPRess Default Theme
It’s not that bad actually. ?But you should have your own unique identity.

Nov 22nd
Plug-in is add on. ?WordPress plug-in obviously bring the meaning it is add on for WordPress script. ?It is undeniable that WordPress blog management system script have a great features and are the most user friendly and most popular and widely used nowadays. ?But, there’s always custom functions that the users wants that do not exist in the original WordPress script. ?This is where other developers create a new separate programs to work a long with WordPress and it was officially encouraged by WordPress. ?Some of the feature was to optimize the blog for optimum level for search engine, some for interaction between the author(s) and the readers or commentators, and some of the feature are to ?tightened the security feature of existing script while some are just for internal administrative task.
This article will represent the MUST HAVE WORDPRESS PLUGINS in my point of view.
