Some Important Things Every Blogger Need To Learn

To be a professional blogger isn’t as simple as waking up one morning and stating, “I am a blogger, look out world!” Like any other discipline, being a successful blogger means that you have to take the job seriously. That means working with dedication, planning and forethought. Here are ten things that every new blogger must know:
  • Don’t check web traffic obsessively if there isn't high traffic, don’t quit.
  • When you are beginning a new blog, there is always something to do: Write an article, add a WordPress feature, or add a new blogger template, implement techniques to get more subscribers. Always. There’s always something.
  • You put your audience first and you spend more time listening than talking. Don’t get stuck with someone else’s belief about word count, frequency of posts, and editorial calendars. Work your blog based on what feels right for you and your readers.
  • A lot of people look at big blogs and think they’re the holy grail. If only you had 100 subscribers. Then, once that threshold’s been crossed, if only you had 1000. Then 10000. Note that Small is beautiful.
  • One way you can start to attract a lot more participants to your community is to put yourself out there. Be authentic. Be transparent. Put plenty of you into your work. You have to put enough of yourself into your project so people can feel a connection with a real human being.
  • The secret to blogging lies in the writing. Be conversational, say exactly what you need to say, and be done. It may be 50 words or 500. No one will care if you write in a compelling and helpful style.
  • Invite your audience to get involved by asking for their feedback, experience, or opinion. Be sure to check your comments daily and respond to everyone. After all, no one likes to be ignored. Blogs are interactive, not static. Invite the dialogue.
  • Interesting visuals, pictures, and video snippets all add to the reader’s experience.

Useful Tips For Creating a Strong Password

Hackers have got very active lately and they’re always trying to get peoples’ accounts. They have various tools and software to help them guess passwords. A good password is both strong and memorable. Here are some tips to create one:
  • Go for length. Try to make sure that your password is not shorter than 12 characters. If an intruder is trying to use brute force method in cracking your password, which means his software has to try out every possible combination of keys, every single key in your password greatly increases the number of keys that he has to go through.
  • Avoid words that can be found in the dictionary. There are password-cracking softwares that use a dictionary for testing matches, and if you use a word that is in there, chances are your account if going to be intruded in less than a day.
  • Avoid using obvious or weak passwords. Aside from dictionary passwords, you should also avoid using the default ones such as password, admin, default, etc. As a general rule of thumb, a password should appear random to everyone but you, and not based on a pattern that can be understood by other people.
  • Don’t ever try to create passwords that identify yourself or relates to anything about you. That should be reserved for the username.
  • Maintain a habit of regularly changing your password. This means that even if an intruder tries to use the brute force method to guess at your password, your password would have been changed before he manages to succeed.
  • If you really need to maintain a written copy of your password, write it only in one piece of paper and keep it in a place where other important pieces of paper and plastic are kept – your wallet. Keep it secure the same way you would keep your credit card safe.
  • If you’re having trouble creating a password that is difficult to crack, use a strong password generator. This has the benefit of creating truly random password that doesn’t have any meaning or pattern to anyone, even the program that created it. You can also use either a desktop or online password managers, which can also act as automatic form fillers that will make your life easier in the long run.

Online Password Generator : Website That Generates Complex Passwords

Though a time-consuming process it is possible , by using brute force attack, to recover passwords, with the power of the computer’s main CPU. For example, an eight-character Windows Vista logon password is as strong as about 55 trillion possible passwords. Windows Vista uses NTLM hashing by default, so using a modern dual-core PC you could try up to 10 million passwords per second, and perform a complete analysis in about two months.

This small web application allows users to create random secure passwords that are difficult to guess because of the combination of lower and upper case letters, numbers and symbols.


Key Features :
# Passwords with up to 50 characters.
# Up to 5 generated passwords.
# Find the best combination of lowercase , uppercase and numbers passwords.
# Add extra security by using special characters.

An average person will have at least four different accounts that would require a password. This makes the issue of having a secure and strong password important. Unfortunately, the average person will prefer ease of use over security, which results in a lot of people using easily compromised passwords AND/OR a single password for several accounts. They cannot be faulted either, since it is usually too much trouble to maintain a lot of passwords, especially if they are safe passwords that are not easy to memorize. Some people try to counter this by using different strong passwords for every account, and then keeping a written record of every password – which is an even bigger security risk for obvious reasons. A good middle ground is to create one universal password for different accounts with different usernames, but making that password very hard to crack.

Trick To Run Multiple Skype Accounts On A Single Computer


If you have heard about multi-yahoo and multi-msn but haven’t heard about using multiple Skype accounts on a single computer than know this that Skype has given this facility.This is a great trick because sometimes you need to use more than one accounts on a single computer for multiple communications at the same time. This is valid for 4.0 version and later.

Follow these steps:
  1. Click Start > Run (or press the Windows and R keys on your keyboard at the same time)
  2. In the Run window, enter the following command (include the quotes) and press OK
  3. "C:Program FilesSkypePhoneSkype.exe" /secondary

If you get any error messages, please copy and paste the exact command from this post and try again. You may can get this error if you have changed the installation directory at the installation time.

Alternative Solution:
  1. Find the Skype executable file (Skype.exe) in: C:Program FilesSkypePhone
  2. Right click on it and choose: Send to > Desktop (create shortcut)
  3. Locate the shortcut on the desktop, then right-click on it and choose Properties
  4. In the Target field, add: /secondary. The Target field should now be: "C:Program FilesSkypePhoneSkype.exe" /secondary
  5. Click OK. You can now start a new instance of Skype every time you double-click on the new shortcut.

The above solution will make a second instance for future use, you won’t be given the first method’s command every time on RUN menu to open the second instance. You just double click the secondary instance from your desktop and it will up for you.

To make it more convenient and easy, you can put this shortcut in windows32 directory under window directory and use it a global short, for that copy this shortcut in windows32 directory. Enter the name of the shortcut in RUN menu and it will work.
