Pay Attention to Content While Blogging

The cat is cute, only because it has good soft skin.The dog is adorable, only because it is so friendly. Similarly, content is interesting, only when it has something the reader likes or wants.

There is a saying,"Content is King". Of all aspects of writing a blog, this perhaps is the most important one. We typify the content into three broad classes as:
a) Personal blogs
b) Commercial blogs
c) Social blogs
In the first class, accent is on personal satisfaction. In the second, only money matters -- everything in this blog class will deal with money. Finally, in the third class, the social interactive networking will take over. Here you will see people who belong to predetermined classes, interacting and passing on information.

First determine which type of blog you want to write. Then you can determine what you want to write about. In the personal blogs class, you will have these subdivisions:

1. Ideas about things and people around you
2. Ideas about future events and activities 
3. Details of products and articles on the market
4. Your take on some film, book or personality
5. Issues and debates prevalent in society

For personal blogs the best thing would be this type -- the blogger. You also have Tumblr for those with creative talent like drawing and Pixabay for those inclined to photography. Of course, this list is not comprehensive -- it gives you an idea of what direction you  are headed. You can develop the topic on your own. In the commercial section, the blogs will all be directed at means for making money. Here are some sites where you  can write for money.

Easy to follow rules of blogging

For sure, there is a change in the world -- the change we see as the internet. You can reach out and touch people, mingle with them and share ideas. You eliminate the terror because of the closeness. You add an additional aspect of friendliness and make the world lovelier. But, is that all?

Blogging is like jogging in the morning. Some have it in them, others just cannot do it. Yet it is the progressive thing to do. It helps you maintain some social contact with like minded people -- it eliminates bad thought.

Fundamental approach to blogging

When you start blogging, you will wonder what to do and how to do it. Here is help. Just follow the guidelines mentioned below.

Open an account with blogger

This is discussed in the previous blog. Make an email account. Type gmail in the top box of the new page you open. Then write the name you want for your account. Your account becomes gerald@gmail.com. You now become eligible to begin a blogger account. Do it.



Finding the correct subject
Write to the point
Make interesting ideas
Talk to the heart

Every one has a slant, a leaning towards some topic. Some like fitness and exercise, while others like to write about the personal views of things and places

Yet what sells? Everything! If you put it right. Running around the tree might seem like fun but when we say something clearly -- I am writing about wedding cakes and nothing else -- the readers either switch to a new page or carry on reading. It gets those who have genuine interest to your site fast. 

Now how big is your cake going to be? Does it have fruits and nuts? What decorations will you add? How fast can you deliver it (if you plan to sell it? These things keep the buyers looking.

Another thing is to eliminate the bullshit. "Actually, to tell you about another thing that is only for some people..." These do not sell." We also offer pink icing " sells.

Reasons for blogging

There are four main reasons for blogging:

• Blogging as an pastime activity
• Blogging for money
• Blogging to build social contacts
• Blogging to connect to the world

Create a blogging account

Perhaps the most important guideline to blogging is the reason why you want to blog.Let us begin with the basic. Go to gmail (type gmail in a new window) and create an account. Write some name -- alfred, domez, fred, or anything that comes to your mind to be your email address. So your email address becomes alfred @gmail.com. Actually, it would be a good reason to use your own name -- Muthu@gmail.com.

Now that you have created your email address, you need to start a blogging account. Go to blogger. Type blogger into the search bar and then create a blogging account. Give a good name for your blog-- your grandma's name is fine. Now you have to decide on what to write.

We will discuss this in the next blog. Happy blogging.

Utilizing the Picture Vocabulary Method to increase Learning Efficiency

Do you remember your first day at school? One will definitely remember the pictures one saw on that day, though they one did not know the names. One of the greatest tools for education is the picture vocabulary style of teaching.

Utility value of the Picture Vocabulary technique 

This picture vocabulary method does just what the name tells. It associates the picture to a word and this helps the person remember the word easily. The surprising thing is that this method does not stop at the school level or at the high school level, but carries on to the professional levels too. Experienced architects and engineers use pictorial representations to analyze their structures.

Underlying principle of operation 

How does this work? There is an innate curiosity in man firmly implanted in his genes. We see this in the evolutionary phase of man where he is a traveller and a conqueror. Only another wonder found in nature surpasses his need to discover new things and visit new places. This is the replication of basic forms. The wings and legs of many insects and birds are similar in form and in the manner of usage.

Interaction with Human nature

When a person sees a picture, his senses preempt his curiosity. The word given alongside is the insect or bird that is similar to what he has already seen. However, the senses explore the picture trying to find something new. Whether it fails or succeeds in this, it attributes the outcome to the word. This is also the reason why people normally like soft mellifluous words that do not agitate the senses.

Increasing the scope of teaching

Advanced teaching methods incorporate a string of images that 'tell a story'. The words associated with them take their slots next to the picture, in the manner most effective for absorption and instant utilization. There are advantages in this system. First, it increases the desire to study in the student. He or she will look forward to seeing the pictures with childish curiosity. This increases the aptitude for studying and the person feels enervated while studying.

Links that work effectively

Now, the second thing is the association of the pictures. The ideas revolving around in the mind of the person with some picture has links to the word. Many of these ideas are the same and are present in the minds of any normal person. This makes it easy for the person to recall the word. This technique is finding acceptance because of the ease of use and the wide range of its applicability. 

Understanding the efficacy of the system

The system is efficient for one reason. The mind accepts pictures more easily. When a person hears words, a machine gun seems to have bombarded his mind. When he sees pictures, his has his interest kindled and there is no irritation that words normally cause. The mind thus opens out to a vastly new experience, one that is more soothing and pleasant.

Improving on the system

Using this system for studying increases performances and improves the concentration of the individuals. By increasing the range of the words accommodated, the system is increasing the number of ideas incorporated as also the complexity. The teacher thus has only a limitation on the amount of words or ideas that he or she wants to teach and not on the actual teaching material.

Summarizing the Principle

We have started out into the academic world through a pictorial dimension. The principle of this picture vocabulary system is to keep the whole thing simple. A for Apple is all right while A for Abacus might be tough for some students to assimilate. Second is to have clarity. Forming pictures of a lion is easy while visualizing light is somewhat hazy. The intelligence of the person increases when the person is able to express clearly, what is in his or her mind. A group of people who have their facts clear, will be able to work in a cohesive and clear manner.

Come Summer 2013 it is Time for a Wardrobe Makeover

Contrasts are the building blocks for statement makers, haughty and racy, mismatching and accentuating certain aspects of the attire or the body shape. Come summer 2013 and the race between the wallet and wardrobe will be the one that is on the top of the list for almost everyone. 

Women's wear for summer 2013 
Women's fashion follows all the physical characteristics of the woman. Some are wider at the top and some are as thin as a ramrod.
Prints with vertical stripes or checks, polka dots and flowers with a snug jacket that does not fall too low are matched with skirts, short or flared or with pants that are comfortable more than anything else.
A raised waist dress looks good for the woman who is rotund and not so top heavy. If on the other hand you have thin figure you might try to accentuate it with loose top caught at the waist and flaring out. If style coefficients dictate that you have to wear pants, try to get the baggy type and match it with sweatshirt or loose cotton floral print top.

Keep a bag handy
Choose a good bag for summer 2013 to accompany the sensual lines of the clothes and the person. Like sunshine sparkling of the gold bracelet accentuating the skirt line. Fashion needs meet at the confluence of comfort and brevity.
Shoulder bags are necessities the lights at the crossroads, the prop that pivots the person into his social sphere of personal glory. These are capacious, stylish, come in various models with hanging beads or fringe work to accentuate the movements, another landmark passed by. Clutches linger, flit and wave around like butterflies, all essentialities, credit cards and loose change clutched in one tight bundle. Tote bags are the all serving valet, the cross between the master and the outsider, splendid on the outside and functional on the inside.


Men's attire and fashion necessities
For summer 2013 starting with the shoes, one would need a pair of loafers, browns and one or two sets of dress shoes. Depending on how active the person is socially, you might need navy or black suit and of course white shirts to order and shirts of different plain colors to go with the color of the suit.
Floral prints are back and match well with gabardine pants. One might want jeans or denims to go the casual way. Good fitting short pants and sleeveless tops of cotton or similar material will help beat the heat. One would need a leather or calf belt of the latest style and fashion to match the dress of course.


               
Fragrances
Fragrances are as much the part of a man's makeup kit and style coefficient as it is a woman's regime. Gentle perfumes or body lotions give punch to the personality and emphasizes the looks.

Casual Garments
Casual wear is important, most of the time the man relaxes in his casual attire. Polo shirts or tops with patterns, the summer dictates the kind of fabric chosen. Cotton t-shirts with bright colors and intriguing patterns will help you weather out the hay until winter. Keeping it all within a budget is difficult and you may have to cut corners sometimes. However, a cheaper pair of jeans or a less expensive pair of pants will give good comfort and keep you closer to base.


Things to remember:
When hunting for bargains, cheaper garments need not be the better choice. When you can save by opting for a different brand, it is the wiser option.
Do not do all you shopping at one stretch, break it up and wait for discount sales to catch up with you.

Attire to look out for

When one is shopping for summer 2013 for underwear and t-shirts, one always purchases a good brand. It is difficult to keep running to the store every month for these indispensible pieces of clothing. Sportswear and festive wear depend on the person, his fashion preferences and lifestyle. If one plays games, goes for jogging or indulges in sporting activity one must choose the attire that is suitable for the game. Like the flowers in spring, they are colorful and attractive and can substitute as casual wear. This is true for both men and women, but having an extra pair will always help, especially when you have guests sleeping over.


                 
Nightwear is good only if they are comfortable. If they are all glittery and full of laces without being comfortable, then it is not worth the while. Though many prefer to sleep in their shorts, owning a separate pair of pajamas will help preserve the other garments in your wardrobe.
