According to some critics, a stagnant blog is a weed-grown yard of a deserted farmhouse. It is essential to maintain a regular posting schedule. Post quality contents regularly. Blogs provide your organization with a platform to act and announce strategies to en-mass within a short span of time.

The concept of static pages:
There are social networking giants like “Facebook” and “Google+” which provide avenues for webmasters to share and show case their blogs in different static page formats. From Facebook, a customized version of Facebook page can be created. It provides opportunities for visitors to read and like your post and comment it in the embedded section just below post page. Blogging provides relevant option in developing a web presence despite the advent of a different set of social networking-websites. Each option has a different set of insights and analytics based on the amount of time you spend on these sites.
Blog runs on a static page and a website has separate dynamic contents. The main problem with blog was due to its indolent character, which obstructs search engines to properly index blog pages. Facebook, Google+ and twitter have changed this myth completely. These social networking giants empowered users to share anything be it blog or a website easy to online world and the people concerned. This compels a search engine to change their policies of stopping static pages from indexing into their search algorithms. This empowers companies to create live blogs to announce their information to consumers and create a fan-group from among their online communities. In this way, blogging is making you wealthy. It is the rule which you require and never know after so numerous months, with consistent posting and updating. You could be amazed to see the rise of page rank.
What is blogging?
Blogger is free content management software to store unique online content written by blogger from time to time. It makes archives and set an order of publishing itineraries. If some depressing thoughts are stopping by creating a blog, so not hear those perceptions, go ahead and publish at once and you will not be surprised when after four years of online blogging, you can think of situations when you had started blogging. It is a question of making a start and then producing useful contents for longer and better web management. With the advent of social media networking, power of blogging gains immense importance due to convenience of search engine rankings and page indexing. All these can lead to better management of distribution of web contents throughout the online world.
I remember from standard six, when the class teacher distributed school diaries and asked us to maintain it regularly. It becomes a habit to write down something about day’s event into those diaries and make them a perfect timeline to see and reflect ideas venturing from reflective insight of the heart and mind. 20 years after it, when I reflect back on these diaries, to see how the class teacher had written some instructions and how parents had given some advises. How, I failed to perform appropriate during dumbbell training sessions and how I could not compete in a soccer field. All these were written manuscripts of my failures as well as of my achievements. All these are fascinating in reading in later years and all these give immense satisfaction and joy to flash back moments of life. Online blogging is also of a similar actions and reactions to the reflections of the current state of affairs that has been circulating and whirl-winding in and around daily activities. Blogging is a vertical column of life of activities and information that can be written in coherence with certain incidents through the eyes of you. It can be written by you with notebooks or through keyboard of laptops in virtual world all around you. All these give a panoramic view of writer’s intimate ideas and sufferings and read it later by friends and relatives.
Difference between blog and diary:
Diary is personal and intended for private use. Blog is public and what you express on it subject to public scrutiny and public read it as the source of information. When relevant thoughts are attached with blog publishing, people connect with blog through social networking platforms and try to replicate those ideas that have been discussed in it through proper forums. In earlier times, it is considered a good idea to remain in anonymity to produce the slice of life inside blog. Slowly, with the introduction of social networking, bloggers have tried hard to generate their ideas and identity. They have realized how their identity can boost page rank of their websites as it can give a true sense of identity inside the virtual world to people thus makes available the promising opportunity to create a strong presence inside the online world. With the advent of Facebook and Google+, real identity of the person is gaining significant boost to visitors and traffic, and for this, more and more bloggers are showing their true name and identity in online spheres.
Blogs provide space for people of some countries where there is strict regulation on media. They remain anonymous and publish their grievances to the world easily. It provides windows of opportunity to rest of the world, where this information could never ever have reached on their doorsteps. There is plenty of information and usages of blogs which has been witnessed in these rare years of its existence. Anonymity is a boon for some Chinese bloggers who are fearful of totalitarian authority. In wars, soldiers used to write blogs and hope their near and dear ones will read all these from their home and they try to reveal their approach of life and difficulties of hostile terrains while living inside war fields. Numerous successful politicians are regularly writing and updating their blogs and try to convey their opinions on matters of significance and controversies. Blog is subject to public scrutiny, and no one would like to write phony stories online. It gives copious opportunities for users to verify facts online before commenting on those facts. Many eminent social networking websites are creating the form of verified users which gives an additional boost to the profile of authors as well as gives the added advantage of clearing doubts over the minds of users of sincerity of authors. This helps to build a proper rapport with targeted audiences which encourages people and employees to blog on matters of momentous importance. There is not always a smooth path while dealing with the wired world. There are stringent limits which are regulated on corporate bloggers as well as individual blogger. Blogging with ethics and with proper regulation is the order of the day and this creates added strength of clean image and distinct clarity in information management on the part of bloggers.
New innovative ideas:
The blog is associated with the text as it is indirectly related with the writing of diaries. In reality, it is different; there are many instances of photo blog, video blog and forums. In online world, uploading a photo or a series of photo can give the impression of a proper sense of stories. There are some photo websites which are constantly making innovation in creating a different set of ideas that can be co regulated into a distinct personal identity. Famous photo sharing service “Flickr” offers to create a photo book from their own uploaded photos. Similarly, Google photos from Android are automatically taking a set of pictures from the same landscape and making it a set of motion with GIF animation and making it auto awesome for users to download those motion pictures.
Many content management systems have created open authentication system which is providing opportunities for moblogging, a trend similar to the social network. In social networking, there is always a limitations for author’s posting, on the other hand, by mob-logging, a set of dissimilar authors can publish and share their ideas in the same blogging platform. With the introduction of Android and Apple mobile operating systems, more and more bloggers are connecting with people through their smart phones and they can easily update their statuses while on the go. Social networking website such as Facebook. Google+ and twitters are giving people more power to share in order to create an accessible world with interconnected people. Since 2004, in its inception, Facebook had been growing and at first it was a clean and neat interface with minimal social sharing. With due course of time, application environments are introduced. Many developers create many stunning games. With the introduction of Android operating system, cloud management of images through Facebook, Drop box, Picasa is possible. It provides opportunities for images hosting with GBs of free space. This creates added advantage of connecting Facebook with Android operating system. Of late, countless games of Facebook are connecting with Android Play store thus creating a bond between face book and mobile operating system. This provides copious opportunities for bloggers to utilize these features of this social media platform.
Blog authorization:
In earlier times, Technorati is famous for blog authoring. Bloggers habitually authorized blogs in it to gain prominence in indexing within search engines. Google’s blog search is known as (blogsearch dot google dot com) have overtaken Technorati. It is now indexing a wide array of blogs and regularly updates its updated publications. Users can register their blogs through webmaster tools for Google. It gives manifold options for users to authenticate their blogs to Google. If you have blogger’s blog, then authentication through Google Analytics or meta tag verification is a good idea. If you have self-hosted blog such as WordPress, then verify through uploading of HTML files can give authentication to your blog. From time, to time Google will index blog updates and include inside Google searches. It takes time for indexing, with Google and once it has been completed you can see an influx of organic visitors to blog.
The idea behind a blogging platform?
This is one such legalized method of search engine optimization practices. Google is encouraging its users to follow such straight path to garner visitors to blog. Create a brilliant theme for blog. The background page should not be jarred. Use a fitting combination of good colors that can superbly match background of blog with its contents. Do not invoke too many links inside any such web pages. Ensure blog loads quickly and the users do not have long waiting time. Optimize images before publishing it into blog. After getting image, open it and make a screen shot of image with in-built snipping tool embedded within Windows. This will make files size smaller and then upload to your blog host. These are minor factors yet; all these can be speed-up blog page loading time. Google likes those blogs which are clutter free and fast. Numerous analysts suggest of not giving a picture to blog articles. But, I would advise bloggers to upload pictures by going through above mentioned process. There are famous networking sites which predominantly use images for popularizing contents. These are Pinterest, Instagram and many others. Pinterest is most popular and it is available for different operating systems as well as different mobile operating system. Of late owing to the advent of Pinterest apps in android and Apple, many users are now easily sharing images from smart phones.

You can share your pages through different sharing widgets such as share this, shareholic or add this. All these provide you with a different set of bookmarking options, and with it you can share articles with distinctive social networking websites. Create a relevant search engine optimized RSS feed for blog and share it to separate feed collector’s websites. It will distribute the entire content of blog to different people and visitors can subscribe and share those contents through default mail client of Web browsers.

Modern text clients do have efficient spelling check applications and preview applications. The second part blogging is a software part which consists of holding up the layout and template designing separate. It bestows blog distinct look and identity.

It bestows an additional boost to your blog by speeding up page loading times. Blogger writes content using text editor of client. It is then uploaded to blogging host, which includes it within the content management system. Then the completed page is indexed with web servers which will make it open to rest of the world through the specified domain name. All blogging platforms have a client embedded. It makes easier for bloggers to write and formulate contents.
The blogging platform is the backbone of blog. User can install and configure stand-alone platforms to work on a host. Blogging platforms control all other aspects of blog except posting of articles. There are many blogging platforms. There are many paid and free blogging platforms. Users can select any such blogging platform by going through unique features and specifications.

You should be carrying a smart phone with a decent camera and should also take screen shot of different aspects of life at various locations and try to capture the moments of life continuously.

This will reduce bounce rates among visitors and they will stay for extended hours to blog. Take blogging as serious writing, post your thoughts into simple paragraphs and try to convey your message through diverse examples and similes.
Modern virtual clubs:
Never ever be assertive of your writing. Always goes for a manual proof read of your document before submitting to publish. If you are using MS Word for writing, turn on “readability statistics”. It will give sentence styling and formatting suggestions. Use less passive sentences in your blog to make it readable and understandable.

Numerous stories have been entertained throughout the annals of history where many stories are preserved through generations. Blogging are such mediums where stories of different kinds can be told to the world through writing. It is all about selling and circulating ideas among millions. Human by nature is a rational animal and wants to stay with society. The sheer natures of humans are imitated by street dogs and bulls. They have never allowed anyone from outside to roam here and there. Humans want to share their statuses and this creates Twitter. With fewer words share many thoughts. This is the reason why Twitter is so much popular. This creates Facebook, where people can control their privacy with varied option at their helm of affairs. Should public opinions be discussed in public? People love to talk about it but they are afraid of its negative repercussions.

Reputation does not come automatically, it needs to be built:
Blogging has become a huge profession. Think of people who are reading your blog regularly and always try to find a certain set of fixed etiquette from within. It is always advisable to stay out from sensitive issues which can snowball into a mass controversy. If it is found false, it will hurt reputation of yours and your blog and this will reduce the inflow of the number of visitors to your blog. Own up your own mistakes. It is always taken time to build a reputation. The path to achieve a good reputation comes with many hurdles. It does not come automatically. It needs to be built. A consistent, well-informed blogger can stretch any point of discussion to an articulated point of view to build a good rapport among readers. Even two weeks are a long period to stay away from blog. Update regularly and create meaningful contents to attract visitors. The longer you stay away from visitors creates the risk of losing potential organic visitors.

Give proper attributes to relevant authors for quotation.
Controversy creates word of mouth. This can attract a huge number of organic visitors. It is an easy way to reach popularity but be careful and allow other negative provocative comment about the topic raised should be allowed in your blog carefully with complete independence. While doing this does not lose your sense of civility. Be simple and generous and work on creating a congenial environment even in difficult environmental situations. It makes you professional and gives an authority on some specific area. It creates professional zeal and strength to garner massive popularity. It comes with responsibility to carry forward your blog to the height of Zenith. You should have ability to derive facts from fiction. You can straight away express your opinion on certain matters and which creates specific decisive ground to reach to a level of understanding.
Fix quantitative and qualitative goals of your blog:
It is not a myth about blogging that it creates money. It is difficult to earn a livelihood with blogging. There are countless people who are earning handsomely due to professional blogging. It needs dedication, time and energy to stay afloat midst different difficult environments. You have to create your own identity from among others. There are millions of bloggers all around. You have to start thinking like an entrepreneur. Blogging is your business venture and assumes the risk for it. Inculcate value of writings and creates your own style. This is the first major hurdle before climbing blog popularity. Fix quantitative and qualitative goals of your blog.
Reaching to top 50,000 in Alex rank can be the first goal and every goal has time limitations. Slowly, you can break this barrier to different levels and in this way, quantitative goal of crossing major hurdles is reached. Next, you have to set qualitative goals of receiving five comments on your blog within seven days. Slowly, this number should increase and this creates quality to your blog writing. After setting quantitative and qualitative goals, the next is to create good content that will attract visitors. Appropriate content is the ability to reduce bounce rate of visitors.

Chose a broad topic for niche of blog and in this way you will be able to be entertained a much wider level of audiences and in the future flow of articles will not have any such limitations.
