Everytime when we sit down and blog, the most challenging issues will be what topic shall we blog about to make the best out of it.

Choosing a good topic is like having a good headstart in race. Once you have a good headstart, there will be no stopping and most likely to win the race. Thus having a good topic to start with, it will establish your main niche/branding in your blog and attract targetted readers easily.

I’ve come up with some ideas on how you can choose a topic for your blog posts:

• Get ideas from hot selling magazines
• Think of problems you are facing and write a “how-to” post to help your readers
• Be creative - Your readers not only want to read about your successes but they also want to read about how you did it and the ups & downs in it
• Ask your readers - Setup a poll asking them what they wish to read
• Read up your old posts and derive ideas from them
• Check out other blogs and see what popular posts topics are
• Pictures - Sometimes you can find a nice picture and related a good topic with it
• Don’t post just for the sake of posting - A killer
• Be unique - Don’t fully copy other blogs ideas and go with it, add some twists with your unique style

A blog post with no good topic is as good as not having good content with a good topic.

All of you must be wondering what happened to me after I disappeared suddenly without posting here since last october. Now that I’m back.. I shall reveal a little of my case.

I was busy writing a book and had little time to come online actually. Coping with little sleep and nasty stress, nobody can believe my next sentence.

I lost both my grandpas in in 3 weeks.

On the day my paternal grandpa was awarded into hospital for breathing difficulty, we received news about the death of my maternal grandpa(He was on a trip to China to supervise the building of a school for the needy, glad that his last wish came true, the construction of the school was finished but if only he could see it.)

While we were busy with my maternal grandpa’s funeral, my paternal grandpa was fighting bravely for his life in hospital. His sufferings were finally removed after his brave fight for more than 2 weeks.

I miss both my grandpas alot especially my paternal grandpa whom I stayed with. Miss his presence and the times when we enjoyed every live soccer matches on TV. I still couldn’t believe that I lost both of them without saying goodbyes and telling them how much I love and care for them.

13th January-It happen to be my birthday today, but here I am sobbing away while typing this post. If only I could turn back time, I would have spent more time and attention to them.

P.S.
Please treasure whatever you have now so that you won’t feel regretful like what I’m feeling now.

I’m slowly finding motivation and momentum to pick myself up from this tragic, I hope I can gain all your support by posting your comments below.

Thank you so much.

But today I’m not gonna talk about how popular Google is or how they became so big but to reveal how I solve most of my problems. You will be surprised by the results if you haven’t been using Google to search informations on.. You must be living in the ancient times.

Everytime when I came upon so issues no matter big or small, I will consult my lovely Google search bar. Without fail, Google always present me great informations in split seconds(Unless you are still using dial-up connections).

So how do I do it?

I just merely type it these key phrases everytime, as if I’m asking a question.

• How can I change XXX
• Way to make XXXX XXXX
• The best way to XXX X XXXXX

Just play around with the words, you could actually dig out great stuffs and informations out from the net. And it’s FREE! I know you like freebies! Me too!

Example: I searched “How to make money online”

Result: 271,000,000 pages for that!

Hope you found your answers today! Have fun!

By adding the BlogRush Widget to a blog, a blogger can get instant distribution for their latest blog post titles across a network of related blogs.

BlogRush users earn “syndication credits” (the right to have their blog post titles shown inside a widget on another related blog) based on their own traffic (loads of the widget) as well as the traffic of other users they refer to BlogRush. Users can automatically refer others to BlogRush via special links on the widget, as well as through the promotion of a special referral URL they are given.

BlogRush is a “Cooperative Syndication Network” that rewards its users for their contributions to the network — from the impressions they provide of the BlogRush Widget to the referral of other users through 10 ‘generations’ of activity and the impressions of the widget that they provide. BlogRush was designed to be incredibly viral and to provide its users with tremendous distribution leverage to receive exposure for their blog content (onto related content blogs) that they could never achieve on their own; at least without a massive advertising budget.

BlogRush is the brainchild of Internet entrepreneur, John Reese. Mr. Reese is the founder and CEO of Income.com, a soon to be launched social network and media company for entrepreneurs. BlogRush is the first Web property of the Income.com Network, a network of sites and services to help entrepreneurs and business owners succeed. Income.com is based in Orlando, Florida.

Well, I’m talking about the latest WordPress version. Version 2.2.1 came out 7 days ago but I was too busy with my stuffs that I totally missed out on that.

The latest version is more stable compare to version 2.2

If you haven’t get them, you can download them here

I spent a couple of hours upgrading everything but it could have been longer thanks to this guide. (Make sure you read through them) Most of my time were spent waiting for my FTP to transfer everything to my server.

For those who are hosted with these web host gets auto-upgrade or easy one-click upgrades.

By the way, for those who aren’t sure if their version is up-to-date, you can simply log in to your own Wordpress Dashboard, scroll down to the bottom and you will see your current version installed. Please make sure it’s version 2.2.1 if not, please spend some time upgrading.

I don’t want to see you losing files or information with those old versions.
