The iFollow Movement

Recently I was surfing blogs to find how I can improve my blog's layout. However, something caught my attention instead, and it was rare indeed.

A few blog which I had visited, had the logo like the one I have above which resembles a "movement" among bloggers. It is called the iFollow movement.

What is it all about?

As I learned, in the HTML templates provided by blogger, they have the "nofollow" code. This at first was intended to stop spams coming in at the commenting area. However, it was a failure as spams did pour in at the commenting area.

The main function removing the "nofollow" code is that readers could follow the link being left out by commentators. This won't be able to be done if there's still the "nofollow" code.

It's a good thing to have a movement over the Internet. Why not following one? You can find out how you can do so HERE.

Join the movement today!

RSS: An Introduction

RSS, the shorten form for Really Simple Syndication is widely used by many bloggers nowadays. However, it's sad to see someone who had been blogging for almost a year, but yet to know what an RSS is. It's a pity as their blog's content are quite good together with their style of writing.

So, what is actually RSS?

To be simple, RSS works like a bookmark. What's so special about it is that when a blog's updated, the RSS will be indicated. So, users won't have to hassle to go their favourite blog to check whether there's any new post or not. RSS do all the thing for you. This practically will save the reader's time.

The Types of RSS

Basically, there are two types of RSS:

• Web based
  
• Desktop based

Web Based - For web based, it's like reading emails. You can view all the feeeds that you've subscribed anywhere as long you're connected to the Internet. Some of the popular names are bloglines.com and feedsbucket.com.

Desktop based - With desktop based rss reader, you can only view the feeds only on the computer that you first subscribe to. The best example is seen in the latest versions of Opera, IE7 and Firefox.

It's practically a basic thing to have an RSS Feed in your blog. A blogger could keep in touch with their reader and see how influential theie writing to others. So my advice is, have an RSS Feed on your blog today.

New Breed of Adsense Ads

It seems Google is offering a new type of Adsense ad.

It's been a rambling on many blogs that they claimed had witnessed a new type of Adsense ad. The ad, which have arrows beneath them, supposed to make internet users to scroll them to see other ads.

Here's one example taken from Problogger.net:

The question is, how effective will it be if it's implemented? I don't think people will be interested to see the other ads. Merely, they just look at the ads by accident. However, I do agree that by this, it gives more space for more ads.
