This blog is my central node, I decided to create my blog on
blogspot because of its multiple advantages. Blogger.com has been a source of
income for so many people. Though Most Pro bloggers and our lecturer recommend
us to use wordpress as blogging platform but still Blogger’s Blogspot has many
advantages that others don’t have. Here are some advantages of using this
platform: Blogspot is a free blogging platform that is the best advantage. Also
if you have no technical experience and understanding but you know basic usage
of computers you can easily setup a blog on blog spot using the templates,
design options available to you by blogger.
Though with the presence of WordPress, Blogspot cannot be
termed as the best blogging platform but yes if one wants to try a hand before
actually getting into wordpress, Blogger is the best option available so you
can choose wordpress or blogspot. Blogspot is free. There is no need to back-up
your database regularly for safe-keeping, so when you are writing, it saves
your work automatically, and this is a great tool. Unlike the other services, Blogspot
have multiple domain names depending on which country visitors comes from.
There are thousands of blogspot blogs that are suspended and
this highly discourages people to sign up with Blogger. Spamming is a very big
issue in the Internet and Blogger is one of the strictest programs when it
comes to this matter. Since Blogger is a part of Google universe, it is just
appropriate to make all their products of high standards all the time. In my
opinion, there is nothing wrong in keeping your own backyard clean and less
waste (spam).
Blogs have become really popular these days and lots of
people go to different sites to view blogs or just news in general. So instead
of going to all these sites it collects the latest information from all these
websites and puts it so a place where you can view it all. This is called the
RSS, Really Simple Syndication, it is a useful tool for keeping updated on my
favorite websites and blogspot have it.
The layout of my central node on blogspot represents freedom,
I chose it because it really inspires me and it was working well with my
musical theme. The colors and the birds represent a sort of freedom, a freedom
of expression that can be feel in music. The colour is well chosen because it
is quite neutral, as music but it inspires every individual differently that’s
why we all have a different perception of music.
One of my contributing nodes is twitter, I chose it because
the idea of tweeting “What are you doing right now” in 140 characters is quite
funny and challenging, this site has caught on so well that we see even
President Barack Obama on Twitter! The beauty of Twitter lies in its
simplicity. Compared to other community-oriented web services like Facebook and
MySpace, Twitter is streamlined, simple, and straightforward. This both
contributes to and detracts from its usability.
Another contributing node I chose is Myspace, I must admit
that the mother load of social sites is still MySpace. You may think the site
is just for young people, which it is, but overlooking the additional prospects
is vital. Networking on that site has helped to promoting my business and my
clients. A lot of opportunity is also in the free classified ads you can place.
The additional advantage of MySpace is the option for a custom page design to
help your promotions, which is not an option on Facebook. Musicians should
definitely create a music page on MySpace and promote tour dates.
Delicious is my third contributing node, it is a free
website that enables all the users around the world to bookmark their favorite
web contents on the web. This way, users can see what the most famous items on
the web are so far and refer to them to be able to go directly to their source.
Then I chose YouTube for my fourth contributing node, I am able to post and
share videos with others, to rate and comment on other people's videos, to
subscribe to my favorite videos, I have my own page where my videos are
displayed.
These web presences makes me understand how easy life can
get, technology has made almost everything possible, this makes my passion feel
more alive as I am easily connected to any musical sites. These tools can
really help professionals to achieve.
