Top 6 Blogger Mistakes 2008-04-12 23:34:17 I am so tired of seeing great content overlooked on a blogger's page just because of some fatal errors he or she has made. It's really frustrating to see. I know you have great content. Everybody does! Then again, it's not always what you know, it's how you present what you know. So, make sure you're not making any of these errors which could have readers bouncing right out of your blog.5) Not having a site banner.This is by far the worst thing you can do for yourself. The reader gets to your site to see html text for your banner. This is a major no no. 4) Showing off the amount of hits your page has. I smell a beginner. If I see any sort of counter on your blog and it has less than 10,000 views on it then I am out. It's safer to save the counters for later. Read more:Blogger
About 2008-04-12 22:15:25 The Beginning: cod Fed chat Net was born April 2nd, 2008. I had been blogging for about 3 months. At first, blogging was for fun, then I began doing it just to make money. I placed advertisements all over my pages and had so many websites I couldn't even keep track. It was so bad you could barely even read my content. Currently, I still have ads on my page, but you can actually read the content this time!The Name: Where in the world did I come up with the name of my site? As I was creating the blog I actually had to fill in a captcha. The captcha text was something like "KODFCHT," thus my sites name. I used the name because it was interesting, and it would grab people's attention.The Content: This blog was created to entertain people. I will be talking about a little bit of everything her

Do What the Pro's Do! 2008-04-12 13:58:29 Dave Ramsey once said, "If you want to get rich, then do rich people stuff!" This goes the same for blogging, "If you want a popular blog, then do popular blog stuff!"It's really not too hard to make a professional website that a lot of people will view. Sure, you have to have to discuss interesting subjects and understand loads of html. False. Well, besides the interesting subjects part.My point is to look around. See what other professional bloggers are doing to get major views. This includes looking at everything from color scheme, to the widgets they use, all the way to where they place their advertisements.If you want some blogging tips without looking around then just look at my blog. Sure it's not 100%, but it does include many things I have learned from observing other professional
Reasons to Text 2008-04-12 13:56:46 Texting drives me crazy, although I believe it's ok to text under certain circumstances. My belief is that many people abuse these circumstances.As more and more messages are sent throughout the world, 48.7 billion messages in 2005, it makes me wonder, does anyone have anything better to do?Do people not understand that texting is only for quick, short, important messages? Did you not realize the phone in itself, is actually telling you and others that texting is for short conversations? Hence, the few short template messages that come with it. Of course, the phone companies don't mind that you're texting 3 hours a day, going over your limit, and getting overcharges. Anyway, if you're going to text, then text for these 5 legit reasons. There may be more, but this is what I came up with.Top Read more:Reasons
Bicep Curl - Maximum Performance Tip 2008-04-12 13:56:33 People are always saying to do those squats and dead lifts using proper from, but I never see people saying to do those bicep curls using proper form.In my opinion, bicep curls are done incorrectly the most, out of all the exercises out there. Not only do I see students do bicep curls incorrectly, I also see teachers, coaches, and even professional body builders do them incorrectly.So, what is the proper way to do the bar curl?LEAVE A COMMENTBack to Home Read more:Maximum

Video Games: Keeping kids off drugs... 2008-04-12 13:49:03 "You want to go to that party man? There's going to be some good stuff! Let's go have a good time and get laid!"Sadly, this is the common way of thinking for many teens and I don't see this thought process changing anytime soon.More and more teens every day decide to try things they would never normally try. From alcohol, to sex, to drugs. From never trying it, to using it on a regular basis is how it usually goes.Of course, there are many ways of keeping teens, young adults, and even children from experimenting with these dangerous substances and acts. Family sports, activities, and events are great anti-drugs as they are often advertised on the commercials. What's a surprise to be no surprise; Yes! A surprise to be no surprise, is that video games aren't any part of these anti-drug ads. Read more:Games

Blogging on a Niche? 2008-04-12 13:42:49 Have you found yourself horribly bored from blogging? I know I have! If you're a beginner in blogging let me save you before you go any further! Don't just blabber about one topic on your blog. Not only will you get bored, but your audience will also.I first fell into the mistake of having a niche 3 months ago. I read an article at Pro Blogger Dot Net saying that it was important to have a niche, or to just discuss one subject on your blog. 3 months after blogging, I found myself getting bored discussing the perfect push ups over and over again. I finally decided that since blogging was in fact, for fun, it would be a cool idea to discuss a little bit of everything and then separate each topic I discuss into a category. That's just what I did for this site.Why would I do such a thing?-No l Read more:Blogging
Young Teens Show too Much 2008-04-12 13:41:45 Sex is a major part of today's society. I bet you that 50% of the reason you're even reading this article is because it is in fact related to sex.These days, teens seem to be wearing less and less clothing. Short shorts and short skirts seems to be the fashion choice for many girls as young as 12. This choice of clothing doesn't discriminate against the weather either. Whether it's hot, cold, or in between, young girls will still wear skimpy outfits.The reason I bring this up is because my friends and I were at Wendy's the other day. I would say it was about 42 degrees outside and it was raining.We were sitting at the table eating our food when all of the sudden, my friend openly says, "Who is that? She's pretty cute!" Of course, this girl was a good distance away so it was pretty hard to Read more:Teens
Don't Use ImageShack to Host Images 2008-04-12 13:40:26 Don't use ImageShack to host images. This is a heads up to everyone! ImageShack deletes images!I learned this the hard way. I would host my banner and navigation buttons at imageshack only to find that I was re-creating my banner and nav two days later.Instead of ImageShack, I recommend using Flickr. It's a great website and it even has a creative commons attribution section. This means you're allowed to use other peoples images as long as you give them credit for that image.So steer away from ImageCrap. It's not a good site at all. They will delete your images. Instead, be sure to check out Flickr.LEAVE A COMMENTBack to Home Read more:Images
Pena Coloda Accident 2008-04-13 14:24:51 What a waste of a good pena coloda. At least it turned into a funny story.It was the first warm day of the year. My friend and I decided to make some non-alcoholic pena colodas. I don't drink and I don't support it.My friend made the drinks and then he asked me to put the ice away. I took my drink and the ice to the garage and I set down my drink on the top of the freezer. When I opened up the freezer, pena coloda went everywhere.It's not a good idea to put things directly on top of the door part of the freezer. That part apparently moves. Anyway, I spilled my drink everywhere.Later that night, I went home, took off my jeans, and through them into the dirty clothes basket. The next morning I woke up to a, "What the ---- is this?" I think my mom was a little disappointed. ;)
Using a classic blogger template? 2008-04-15 14:55:11 Are you still using the template
you chose when you first created your blog? If you're answer is 'yes,' then you may have some work to do.Using a pre-made blogger template is like having a car that works nice, but looks like garbage. In the end, it just won't pick up the ladies. This goes the same for bloggers. You may have great content, but if your site looks like garbage then it just won't pick up the viewers.So please, take your time to download a new blogger template.

Download the Mush Blue Blogger Template 2008-04-18 11:39:07 Mush Blue Blogger
Template: This is one of my favorite blogger templates. Although I don't use it, it looks great! Especially if your blog is on the art side of things.The C.R.A.P of Web Design:Contrast 6/10: The reason I scored this template a 6/10 is because there is no major difference in color between the right navigation and the actual content. You may want to play with the colors if you decide to use this template to create a difference between the two areas.Repetition 10/10: The blue and black all repeat throughout the entire page. The navigation and the content also stay completely consistent!Alignment 10/10: Everything flows well together. Again, there could be some work with the separation of the navigation and the content using contrast, but other then that, everything looks pre Read more:Download
Audrina Patridge - Nude Photos Surface 2008-04-18 00:27:06 Nude photos of Laguna's own Audrina Patridge have surfaced. Apparently, Patridge was attempting to land a deal with Playboy only to be rejected. In my opinion, this isn't that big of a deal.If this is doing anything for Audrina's career it's giving it a boost. Sure, she has nude photos of herself online, but what celebrity doesn't? This act of nude posting is definitely giving Audrina free publicity and sure, she didn't land that deal with playboy, but it doesn't mean she won't land it somewhere else.Overall, Audrina Patridge having nude photos of herself online isn't that big of a deal. What celebrity doesn't have nude photos of themselves on the net?For more entertainment updates be sure to subscribe to my blog via reader or via email subscription.LEAVE A COMMENTBack to HomeSubscribe
Alt Image Tags and SEO 2008-04-19 13:31:40 Image
s are another way of being found on google. They are very important and let's face it, any way of getting traffic to our website is very important. Then again, an image is just an image right? Google Bots and other bots don't read images do they? In fact, they do. Only if you properly code your image that is. It's called the Alt Image Tag and it plays a very important role in SEO
.Each time you upload an image to blogger, you will have the ability to do a few different things. You can align your image to the left, to the right, or put it in the middle of your page. You can even resize your image from the 'compose' view of your blog. But If you look deeper than all of that, you will be rewarded with a great little traffic receiver waiting to happen. This will all happen via this quick
