My Deepest Apology For Being Absent Lately

As the title has said, i'm truly sorry that i haven't updated anything on this blog aswell with this blogs's layout. I'm trying my best to fix this blog's layout. I know that i have to do something with it, and while i'm trying to do it, i got neck strain! I barely to do anything, it's so hard to walk, sit, or even sleep. Fortunately, it's geting better. in the past few days i tried to catch up with all of my friends; visting the sites and/ reading it via rss, dropping the EC card.

Today is 9th April, it's the election day in my country. I hope i can vote and then finish the homework as soon as possible, hope my neck won't disturb it like in the last few days ago.

5000 EC For You My Friends :)

At first i'd like to include this one to my previous article : Entrecard and RSS : My New Hobby but i feared that i may broke the entrecard's TOS ( i have a disease called, "too-lazy-to-read-TOS", LOL ) but i've sent feedback to them but honestly, i don't think i broke it, as i don't and won't sell it, i just giving it for FREE! Yep, you read it right, free! you don't have to do anything, all you have to do is just let me know you want it.

How It Can Be?
Lemme give you the explanation. I think it started by my tweet :



..then, unexpectedly someone replied to it :



..the founder of entrecard himself, Graham Langdon! lol! why did i laugh? it's because i don't expected it and i didn't follow him at that time . Then i replied :



Wether you belive it or not, that's my honest opinion. i'm not gonna lick somebody's as*. That's my habit, in fact i always got problems dealing with people -my teacher for specific, that's why i'm hardly passed on the lessons they teach, LOL-

*but i'd like to mentioned something about it



..I got someone else replied to my tweet. And it's okay for me. I'm always be open minded to all matters. Moreover i'm gratefull that she replied my tweet so i can see entrecard from both sides, postive and negative :)

--

back to the topic, about the credit :
..And when i went to my entrecard's dashboard, there are 5000 EC in my acc! -dunno wether they related or not, my post on twitter with the EC i received- Apart from the controversy, i would like to thx him for giving me that 5000 EC, i feel honor, really! ^_^

But pardon me if i acted rudely, bringing this post. As i feel i don't deserve it so i'd like to pass the honor to the others :)

So, How's The Rules?
Glad you asked. As i stated above, all you have to do is letting me know. And to make the 'math' open, please left comment here. How much EC do you want, what's your entrecard's profile, so that i can give the credits to you. I don't limit how much do you want, i don't know what's the 'usual' number as i'm a newbie here T_T

I'm realy hoping what i'm doing here will help you. I know my writing here is far from being an enjoyable reading material and bring some benefit to you, so this the least i can do for you my friends ^_^

Entrecard and RSS : My New Hobby

First thing first, i know it's too late for me for joining entrecard or reading posts via RSS. But there's always a beginning for everything right? :) It's been a while since i'm doing any blogwalking, means jumping from one blog to another. I've been 'kinda busy' lately, finding the right layout, updating the post, attending classes, my english course, and i forgot one joy that made me started blogging: reading others blogs. But i do visit my blogger guru and my friends. And even i didn't left comment there, it's not because i set my pride too high or other craps about getting my head high, it's simply because i don't have enough free time anymore, too much things to keep up.

Entrecard

I've seen many blogs displayed the widget in their blog. I never know it what it is. Some said it can increase our site's traffic. And when i checked my old files in my laptop, i saw there's an ebook about it, "entrecard's starter guide" ( err..dunno if i typed the ebook's name correctly, lol ) and then i went to the entrecard's sites and surprise..! i already have an acc there! i can't remember when i created it, lol. After several settings, i put the widgets on my blog. But things aren't run smooth for me, it's always said if their widget scanner can't find the entrecard's widget in my blog!? i sent feedback to them, and luckyly it's been fixed now.

I started exploring it, not too deep for sure, just the skin of it. I went advertising, finding blogs on different topic. Then i feel excited! i jump from one blog, dropped their card and move to the others blog. It's like blogwalking from one shoutbox to another, only better! It's a great way for saying 'hello' + give them my love :) . I landed on different blog's niche and even i'm not always left comment on each blog, i dropped their card and enjoy my stayed there. And one way to catch up with them is by subscribing to their..

RSS

Yes, i've created one post about it: What is RSS, Subscribe, etc? and How is That Benefit Me? It's a 'silly' how-to article. Why? because it's made by me!an out-of-date man, and without a doubt is a newbie in everything on the web. I'm being honest here, hope you guys don't mind :) . I think it's a good place to keep up with all good content from the web ( including my friend's updates of course ) in one place. So when my online time is tight, i can still keep my eye with the good stuffs. I'm using Google Reader, as i'd like ( and try ) to keep all my online activities in one account. I'm a forgotfull person, that's why i try to keep it that way.

What About You?
Have you read blogs via RSS? Are you joining Entrecard? At first i'd like to upload the 'lost ebook' i've mentioned above, but then i found if the ebook available here

And don't get me wrong!i'm not writing this post in the sake of entrecard or for winning the prize from the contest that being held now. I just know about the contest when i'm near to finish this post. Moreover,

What Will I Do Next?

A little layout tweak: 2 column header, 3 column post body, and footer ( is it good?? ), adding social bookmarking button, subscribe box, installing twitter updates widget along with posting about related post with thumbnail picture on it, sites/blog that inspired me so much on blogging, etc, but the most important thing to is to reorganize myself!

Plenty homework to do, hope i can finish it one by one as today my family ( my big family to be exact ) are planning on spending weekends together, but i decided to not joining them as i'm about to 'guard' my house because i feel my maid is worrying me ( and my mom ) for bringing his boyfriend into the house! lol

I Got SEO Service For Free?, Is It?

Yesterday, while i'm checking my mail, i buzzed by someone, ( i called it 'someone', cause i don't know it personally ) We have a little chat about this, that, and he introduce himself as an web expert ( more and less, something like that )

And suddenly then he asked me wether i have a webblog or not.
I said to him, "yes, i got one"
then he replied, "would you want me to do the seo service for you?"
i replied "sure, but i don't have any money"
he replied "no problem friend, i'll do it for free, in return would you mind put my liks in your blog?"
...

I cutted the conversation, the point is i agree to put his links in return of his kindness.

Well, i don't have any reason to reject someone's request as long it's said politely.

But, i got curious, is it for real? i mean, what kind of seo service will be done? submission into 30 search engines? then, i tweeted about it :







...what should i do now?

I'd like to highlight something here, i don't mind linking other's in my blog, like in my other post, you can see if i put many links related to the articles, in the sake of passing infos, i don't and i won't claim it as mine if i don't 'invented' it by myself. I feel honor to put someone's link in my blog, you can see my friend list in the footer section, i don't really care wether they linking me back or not as long i know them and their sites have great contents on it.

My Blog's Issue On Gooole Webmaster Tool

As a newbie in everything related to blogging and web world, i started using Google Webmaster Tool, -to be honest, i dunno why , i'm just following others step- And when i checked my blog's report, i got issues on it. They are :

• "Duplicate Meta Content Description" ( 6 ),


• "Short Meta Description" ( 4 ),


• "URL's restricted by robots.txt" ( 8 )

Then i got questions in my head, "what are they?", "how they showed up?", "is it bad?", "how to fix them?"

From googling, ( i think ) i've found the answer for the first two issues,

It is by reading this article by cranked.me.

As usual, i won't repost anything as the site's owner has given the tutorial nice and easy to follow.

..the problem is in the comment section, i've modified the code as per instruction given
..the problem is the archive widget, i've changed it to flat list mode
..the problem is the "recent comment" widget, i've removed it, T_T ( i'll be loking for other widget rather than using the feed )

and i'm still waiting for about two weeks from now before i can see the result ( i'll update this post )

--

i'm curious, is the problem has the corelation with the meta tag description in my blog?

<meta content='my online journal to write down anything related to my blogging experience, movie and tv review, me as football fans, web addict, and humorous person ' name='description'/>

Those meta tag said to be the basic SEO we can do in our blogger blog, but to be honest, i don't really understand it, i can't decide my meta tag description 'correctly' as i don't write any specific topic/niche. And i don't really pay attention to SEO as it take a lot of of my time, so rather than learning about it 'deeply' i'd prefer to post on my blog reularly, and see if i can fix it by the time goes by.
