Cinta Terahir

Saat matahari berganti cahaya bulan
Saat hujan harus pergi karena cahaya pelangi
Saat ruh harus dipisahkan dengan raga ini
Tak akan merubah rasa cintaku padamu.
Kasih . . .
Tahukah engkau . .
Cinta yang tumbuh di hatiku ini.
Rasa cinta yang terus mekar seiring berjalannya waktu.
Rasa cinta yang akan terus ada
Sampai Tuhan memisahkan raga kita
Cinta cinta cinta . .
Hanya engkaulah cinta terahir
Yang mengisi relung hatiku.
I Luv U *****

Hanya Kau Satu DiHatiku

Saat mata ini memandang indah senyum diparasmu
Jantung ini serasa membeku tak berdetak
Dalam hati bertanya tanya
Apakah ini yang dinamakan cinta
Tak pernah Ku rasakan
Perasaan seindah ini sebelumnya
Selamanya kan selalu kujaga
Senyum indah dari wajahmu
Walaupun sepuluh bidadari turun dihadapanku
Walaupun seratus artis mendatangiku
Walaupun seribu wanita merayuku
Tak kan membuat hatiku berpaling
Cinta ini hanya untuk mu.
Kasih ini ada karenamu
Selamanya hanya kamu seorang
Satu diHatiku..

Puisi Cinta

Sambil nyeruput kopi panas kunikmati sepotong puisi buatan kamu
masih berasa hangat dan basah bekas ciuman di tiap hurupnya. Puisi menjelma bunga ketika kupetik setangkai bait untuk kutanam di dada
menjelma cahaya ketika aku gelap memahami maknanya
menjelma getar ketika kunyanyikan sebagai rindu
menjelma bara ketika kusesap aroma nafasmu.
Di depanku kamu masih berdiri. Molek tubuhmu tak berhenti menatapku
Aduh kamu, betapa indah puisi yang kausimpan di sudut-sudut lekukmu.
Tatapan apakah yang kamu rahasiakan di matamu,
aku membaca tak habis-habisnya terkesima
Ciuman apakah yang kamu rahasiakan di bibirmu yang merah,
aku mengecup tak habis-habisnya gairah
Bisik apakah yang kamu rahasiakan di telingamu,
tak bosan-bosannya kudesahkan rayu
Debar apakah yang kamu rahasiakan di hatimu,
aku menerjemahkan sampai membuka-buka dada.
“Aku adalah puisi yang kamu tulis,” kamu tak berhenti menatapku.

Matahari Cinta untukmu

Malam ini kubangun mimpi
berharap besok menjadi matahari
yang terjaga di jendela
membakar segala kelam dan dinginnya malam
lalu sunyi menjadi reruntuhan purba
sebab nyanyian pagi bersamamu, senandung lautan itu
telah mengubah peradaban cintaku. Pagi ini kubangun dari mimpi
O, perempuan yang menggenggam kelopak bunga
yang terjaga di jendela hatiku
yang merebahkan tubuhnya dan kukecup wangi keningnya
bukankah kautemukan bahwa setiap pagi
pada dekapan di dada
selalu ada matahari yang membara untukmu.

Rindu membebaskan aku dari sunyi

Kaukah mengubah waktu menjadi lonceng yang mengingatkan aku akan datangnya pagi.
Seperti gemetar tanganmu di dada, mengganti dawai yang hilang dengan nada yang dinyanyikan tetes embun. Begitu jernih bisik mu menyapa.
Rindu membebaskan aku dari temaram.
Relung langit tak mampu menampung kegelisahanku. Karenanya senja sebentar saja.
Di balik bintangbintang, kaukah yang mengarahkan kompas hatiku? Sehingga kutemukan guguran daundaun yang kautitipkan pada angin.
Rindu membebaskan aku dari kelam. Kerling matamukah sinar biru di rasi Orion.
Kaukah menggenggam rembulan di bingkai jendela. Membulatkan keheningan menjadi sekeping cahaya, yang mengubah lapang malam menjadi taman. Yang menuntunku  ke sudut kenangan.
Rindu membebaskan aku dari dingin. Secangkir kopi panas masih menguap di beranda.
Mengalir tanpa henti ke setiap nadi. Hangatkan jiwaku.
Mungkin kautitipkan belaianmu pada angin.
Gemuruh nafasmu menelusuri rambutku, menembus hingga ke lubuk mimpiku.

Setting-an Blog

Setelah log-in dg id Anda, klik link blog. Setelah itu:

(a) Klik 'SETTING' dan klik 'BASIC'.


Title --> Isi judul blog Anda. Sebaiknya nama Anda sendiri. Contoh: Tasar-Zulfikar Blog

Klik SAVE SETTING dan REPUBLISH. Selesai.
(c) Klik SETTINGS dan klik FORMATTING

Show --> pilih posts (jangan days). Kemudian pilih angka posting yg Anda inginkan untuk tampilan di blog Anda. Contoh: Show: 4 posts, berarti posting yg tampil di halaman blog Anda sebanyak empat posting.

Converts Linebreaks --> pilih YES.
Show Title field --> pilih YES.
Show Link Field --> pilih NO. Tapi andai dipilih YES juga tak ada pengaruhnya.
Enable float alignment --> pilih YES. Pilih NO juga tidak apa-apa.

Site Feed URL --> ini adalah alamat feed Anda yg bisa disindikasikan di tempat lain seperti di http://my.yahoo.com, http://reader.google.com atau di http://360.yahoo.com. Lihat contohnya di sini atau di sini . Jadi, sekali kita update blog, postingan kita akan tampil di dua tempat dalam waktu bersamaan dan ini akan menambah "daya tangkap" google pada blog kita.
Article Footer --> kosongin saja.

Mendaftar Google Site Map

Seperti yg pernah diterangkan sebelumnya di sini dan di sini, untuk membuat blog dan tulisan kita banyak dibaca dan dikunjungi orang adalah karena dua kemungkinan (a) karena inter-link antar blog, dan (b) karena orang datang melalui mesin pencari (search engine) terutama Google. Bagaimana supaya semua entry di blog kita ditangkap google? Gunakan Google Sitemaps.


Caranya:
1. Login dg ID email GMAIL di http://google.com
2. Di bagian paling atas ada kotak ADD SITE --> masukkan blog Anda --> Contoh: http://karirkerja.blogspot.com
3. Klik OK.
4. Setelah itu ada di kolom SITEMAP ada perintah ADD SITEMAP. Klik.
5. Pilih ADD GENERAL WEB SITEMAP
6. Kasih tanda tik /check di menu (a) I've created, dst; (b) I've uploaded, dst. (c) My Sitemap..dst.
7. Di menu MY SITEMAP URL is. Isi dg feed blog Anda. Contoh: http://karirkerja.blogspot.com/atom.xml
8. Klik menu ADD WEB SITEMAP
9. Akan ada keterangan di menu bahwa sitemap kita berstatus pending.
10. Klik menu DIAGNOSTIC di bagian atas.
11. Klik menu VERIFY. Ada keterangan bahwa Verification Status: NOT VERIFIED.
12. Ada menu "Choose verification method" --> pilih ADD A META tag.
13. Kita dikasih kode < meta name=" ...dst ">
14. Masukkan kode meta tsb di HEAD template blog kita di antara HEAD dan /HEAD, sebaiknya di bawah {title} {BlogPageTitle} {/title}
15. Setelah template blog di SAVE dan REPUBLISH, kembali ke sitemap dan kasih tanda tik/check di menu "I've added the META tag in the homepage".
16. Klik VERIFY.
17. Selesai.

Catatan Penting:
1. Cara/tip ini hanya buat blog yg gratis seperti blogger / blogspot, blogdrive, dsb.
2. Bagi yg punya blog dg top domain dan hosting sendiri bisa bisa dg cara yg lebih efektif tapi agak rumit bagi yg kurang pengalaman html/xml. Keterangannya bisa dilihat dilink berikut:
http://www.google.com
3. Bagi yg belum punya ID gmail, bisa minta diinvite pada yg sudah punya google email

Mempercantik Blog Dengan Javascript

1. Memasukan Welcome alert dan goodbye alert
Trik yang pertama ini menjadikan blog kita ketika dibuka atau di tutup akan muncul pop up berisi komen. Caranya sangat gampang sekali untuk di WordPress silahkan masuk “Dashboard” kemudian pilih “widget”, buat “text” baru atau bisa juga digabung dengan “text” yang sudah ada dikarenakan trik ini berbentuk script sehinggan nantinya tidak akan ada penambahan di widget kita. Bagi yang menggunakan blogspot sebagai enginenya silahkan masuk ke “Dashboard” pilih “Layout” terus pilih “page element” untuk diblogspot saya juga sarankan trik ini di gabung aja dengan “gadget” yang lain, Nah script yang kita masukan untuk di “text” (wordpress) dan “gadget” untuk di blogspot adalah ini :

<script type=”text/javascript”>

<!– created : nyubi | Welcome Alert –>

alert(“Selamat datang diblognya nyubi, moga bermanfaat”)

<!– created : nyubi | Goodbye Alert –>

function goodBye(){

alert(“Terima kasih sudah mau mampir, take care”)

}

window.onunload=goodBye

</script>

Untuk kalimat ini “Selamat datang diblognya nyubi, moga bermanfaat” dan “Terima kasih sudah mau mampir, take care” silahkan di ganti sesuka hati tapi awas double kutipnya jangan sampai hilang karena hilang salah satu variabel aja maka script diatas tidak akan berjalan.

2. Mengganti Fav Icon
Fav icon itu lambang atau simbol yang ada di adress bar dengan trik ini kita bisa merubah icon blogspot dan wordpress dengan icon yang berbeda sesuai dengan keinginan kita. Penempatan script ini sama dengan script welcome dan goodbye alert diatas :

<script type=”text/javascript”>

<!– created : nyubi | Change Fav Icon –>

var shortc = document.createElement(“link”);

shortc.rel = “SHORTCUT ICON”;

shortc.href = “http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/3/15/1816525/MerahPutih.gif”;

document.getElementsByTagName(“head”)[0].appendChild(shortc);

</script>

Untuk url icon-nya yaitu yang ini http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/3/15/1816525/MerahPutih.gif, silahkan diganti sesuka hati atau kalau mau pakai icon bendara merah putih punya saya juga boleh koq, biar lebih nasionalis. Mungkin bagi sebagian blogger masih kebingungan bagaimana mengganti URL icon diatas dengan icon pilihan sendiri cara paling termudah icon pilihan kita di upload aza di site ini (http://www.tinypic.com) tidak perlu register dan kita langsung bisa mengambil URL-nya.

3. Memasukan Efek Title Bar
Nah untuk trik yang kedua ini menjadikan title bar kita jadi lebih kreatif, kita bisa memberikan teks dan sedikit animasi sebagai penghiasnya, bagi yang belum tau apa itu title bar coba deh liat judul atas browser kita, biasanya disitu tertulis site apa yang sedang kita buka. Penempatan script ini sama dengan trik welcome dan goodbye alert dan fav icon diatas, nah ini dia script-nya :

<script type=”text/javascript”>

<!– created : nyubi | Title Bar –>

var message = new Array()

//customize your message below

message[0] = “nyubi blog”;

message[1] = “Welcome to my blog”;

message[2] = “Enjoy my blog”;

message[3] = “Thanks for visiting”;

message[4] = “Have a nice day”;

var reps = 2;

var speed = 200;

var p=message.length;

var T=”";

var C=0;

var mC=0;

var s=0;

var sT=null;

if(reps<1)reps=1;

function doTheThing(){

T=message[mC];

A();}

function A(){

s++

if(s>8){s=1}

if(s==1){document.title=’||||||====||| ‘+T+’ —–’}

if(s==2){document.title=’|||=|||===||| ‘+T+’ —–’}

if(s==3){document.title=’|||==|||==||| ‘+T+’ —–’}

if(s==4){document.title=’|||===|||=||| ‘+T+’ —–’}

if(s==5){document.title=’|||====|||||| ‘+T+’ —–’}

if(s==6){document.title=’|||===|||=||| ‘+T+’ —–’}

if(s==7){document.title=’|||==|||==||| ‘+T+’ —–’}

if(s==8){document.title=’|||=|||===||| ‘+T+’ —–’}

if(C<(8*reps)){

sT=setTimeout(“A()”,speed);

C++

}else{

C=0;

s=0;

mC++

if(mC>p-1)mC=0;

sT=null;

doTheThing();}}

doTheThing();

</script>

Perhatikan kalimat ini silahkan diganti sesuka hati :

message[0] = “nybi blog”;

message[1] = “Welcome to my blog”;

message[2] = “Enjoy my blog”;

message[3] = “Thanks for visiting”;

message[4] = “Have a nice day”;

seandainya kalimatnya masih mau ditambah silahkan diganti seperti ini :

message[0] = “nybi blog”;

message[1] = “Welcome to my blog”;

message[2] = “Enjoy my blog”;

message[3] = “Thanks for visiting”;

message[4] = “Have a nice day”;

message[5] = “kalimatnya terserah”;

message[6] = “kalimatnya terserah”;

(message[6] angka 6 nya diganti dengan angka 7 dan seterusnya)

4. Roaming Windows Expander

Dan ini adalah trik yang paling extrem, kenapa? karena dengan trik ini menjadikan blog kita pertama kali dibuka akan muncul animasi layar dengan efek gerak, untuk scriptnya silahkan sedot disini :

<script type=”text/javascript”>

<!– created : nyubi | Roaming Windows Expander –>

scrW=screen.availWidth

scrH=screen.availHeight

window.resizeTo(10,10)

window.focus()

for(a=0;a<80;a++){

window.moveTo(0,0)

window.resizeTo(0,scrH*a/80)

}

window.resizeTo(0,0)

for(b=0;b<80;b++){

window.moveTo(0,scrH/1)

window.resizeTo(scrW*b/80,0)

}

for(c=0;c<80;c++){

window.moveTo(scrW/1,scrH/1)

window.resizeTo(0,scrH*c/80)

}

for(d=0;d<80;d++){

window.moveTo(scrW/1,0)

window.resizeTo(scrW*d/80,0)

}

for(e=0;e<80;e++){

window.resizeTo(scrW*e/80,scrH*e/80)

}

window.moveTo(0,0)

window.resizeTo(scrW,scrH)

scrW=screen.availWidth

scrH=screen.availHeight

window.resizeTo(10,10)

window.focus()

for(a=0;a<80;a++){

window.moveTo(0,0)

window.resizeTo(0,scrH*a/80)

}

window.resizeTo(0,0)

for(b=0;b<80;b++){

window.moveTo(0,scrH/1)

window.resizeTo(scrW*b/80,0)

}

for(c=0;c<80;c++){

window.moveTo(scrW/1,scrH/1)

window.resizeTo(0,scrH*c/80)

}

for(d=0;d<80;d++){

window.moveTo(scrW/1,0)

window.resizeTo(scrW*d/80,0)

}

for(e=0;e<80;e++){

window.resizeTo(scrW*e/80,scrH*e/80)

}

window.moveTo(0,0)

window.resizeTo(scrW,scrH)

</script>

Gimana seru kan!! Oh yah seandainya semua trik tersebut ingin dipakai sekaligus dalam satu blog maka untuk penyusunannya bisa seperti ini (http://h1.ripway.com/barista/kontes/kontes%20Fajar.txt) atau sebagai backup bisa dilihat disini (http://www.geocities.com/dwi_nurse86/kontes/kontesFajar.txt)sebenarnya masih banyak trik-trik lain seperti animasi page dan animasi mouse yang jauh lebih inovatif tapi lain waktu saya share lagi, dan semua trik diatas 100% berjalan di kedua blog yaitu blogspot dan wordpress tetapi dengan satu syarat mesti menggunakan mozilla firefox sebagai browsernya, sebagai contoh silahkan kunjungi blog saya yang ini (http://babamz.blogspot.com/) dan lihat semua triknya, akhir kata ditunggu komentarnya.

8 Of The Best Plugins For WordPress

WordPress is an amazing tool, I use it on so many websites, I really would be at a loss without it, but what one of the things that makes it so great is the over whelming amount of plugins that are available. If there's something you want to do in WordPress, there's normally a plugin to help you do it.

SEO Ultimate - I think this plugin deserves more recognition than it's gotten up till now. I have never seen a plugin with such a massive array of features, this does everything that platinum SEO and All In One SEO, also throws in the functionality found within SEO Smart Links and a number of other plugins it is essentially the swiss army knife of WordPress plugins. Some examples of its additional features include; code inserter (for use with adding Google Analytics, Adsense section targeting etc) Webmaster verification assistant, Link Mask Generator, Robots.txt editor and there's even an option for exporting your SEO Ultimate settings to a file so you can import later or use on another blog if you need to, along with support for importing post meta data from All In One SEO - and there's more, well worth checking out.

W3 Total Cache Plugin - This plugin when fully configured can give at least 10x improvement in overall site performance and give you up to 80% bandwidth savings via minify and HTTP compression of HTML. In A/B testing this great WordPress Plugin beats other optimisation plugins like WP Super Cache hands down in terms of page load time, and not only that but it has Amazon S3 integration. This plugin is so good at performance optimization that it is trusted by sites such as mashable.com, smashingmagazine.com and many others.

Cbnet Ping Optimizer - Within your WordPress admin panel, if you click on the writing option within the settings tab, you will see at the bottom a section called Update Services, now each time you publish a post or update a post WordPress will ping the sites in this list. So if you update a post frequently, some of these services may blacklist your site, this handy plugin stops WordPress from pinging these services when you edit a post, but allows it to ping them when you first add the post, removing the possibility of being blacklisted as a spammer on those services.

TinyMCE Advanced - WordPress uses the standard version of TinyMCE as its WYSIWYG editor, this is the advanced version that will add 17 plugins to TinyMCE. These include: Advanced HR, Advanced Image, Advanced Link, Advanced List, Context Menu, Emotions (Smilies), Date and Time, IESpell, Layer, Embed Media, Nonbreaking, Print, Search and Replace, Style, Table, Visual Characters and XHTML Extras.

WPtouch - Once this WordPress plugin is installed and activated it will transform your blog into an iPhone application-style theme when it is viewed from an iPhone, iPod touch, Android, Palm Pre, Samsung touch and Blackberry Storm/Torch mobile devices. With web browsing via mobile devices this is an extremely important plugin to utilise, as it will provide fast and user-friendly browsing from the mobile devices mentioned and this will not affect your desktop theme in anyway. On top of that you can customise various aspects of its appearance within the admin panel and it will also display ads from Google Adsense which is very handy.

Maintenance Mode - This nifty plugin will add a splash page to your blog to let its visitors know that your WordPress blog is down for maintenance, it will also inform the visitor when the site will be accessible. The message is completely customisable and logged in administrators will get full access to the blog including the front-end.

Broken Link Checker - It can be quite frustrating for the reader of a page on your blog who has become engrossed in whatever article/post it is they are reading when they try clicking a link within your page and the site is broken. However this will always happen from time to time and can't be avoided, but when you've been blogging for a while and you've amounted a sizable archive of posts and articles it would be impossible to check them all.

WP-DBManager - The worst thing that can happen for any blogger is to put your heart and soul into writing great posts and then then just lose it all, whether it's down to your webhost or something else. This great WordPress plugin makes it so easy to back up your WP database, and even optimise and repair it too. It supports backup scheduling and allows you to either download the backup file or email it to you. This plugin is a must have for anyone who is serious about using WordPress.

Optimasi Kata Kunci Blog dalam Mesin Pencari

Dalam belajar SEO kali ini kang Rohman mencoba untuk menulis tentang cara mengenali jumlah kompetitor dan jumlah percarian dalam search engine google.

Jumlah kompetitor dan pencarian di search engine

Apa itu jumlah kompetitor? jumlah kompetitor adalah banyaknya kompetitor atau persaingan untuk suatu keyword atau kata kunci pada mesin pencarian aka search engine. Darimana kita akan mengetahui jumlah persaingan tersebut? untuk mengetahui ini sangat mudah karena setiap kali kita melakukan pencarian di mesin pencari google, google akan secara otomatis memberikan jumlah persaingan untuk kata kunci tersebut.
Sekarang silahkan coba untuk melakukan pencarian dengan kata kunci “blog tutorial”, berikut contoh gambaran hasilnya :

Pada gambar yang diberi lingkaran merah tertulis Sekitar 113,000,000 hasil (0.09 detik), ini artinya jumlah kompetisi atau persaingan untuk kata kunci “blog tutorial” sebanyak 113,000,000. Atau dengan kata lain, ada sebanyak 113,000,000 website atau blog yang menulis dengan kata kunci tersebut yang terekam oleh google. Gampang bukan untuk mengetahui jumlah persaingan?
Apa itu jumlah pencarian? jumlah pencarian adalah banyaknya orang yang mencari suatu kata kunci di search engine, umumnya jumlah pencarian di tulis dalam skala bulanan. Dimana kita mengetahui rata-rata jumlah pencarian? untuk hal ini perlu bantuan tool. Dalam hal ini seperti yang ditulis pada postingan tentang niche kemarin, kita akan menggunakan Google AdWords Keyword Tool.
Sekarang silahkan coba kunjungi halaman Google AdWords Keyword Tool lalu tuliskan kata kunci blog tutorial, dan berikut contoh hasilnya :

Terlihat bahwa kata kunci “blog tutorial” jumlah pencarian perbulannya adalah 40500 untuk pencarian global (diseluruh dunia) dan 12100 untuk pencarian lokal (dalam contoh ini adalah google.co.id). Jadi, jika blog anda mengandalkan kata kunci “blog tutorial” dengan target pengunjung Indonesia, maka kesempatan untuk mendapatkan kunjungan adalah sekitar 12100 perbulannya, itupun jika blog anda berada pada posisi paling atas di search engine, dan pengunjung tertarik semua untuk mengunjungi blog anda (tapi ini jarang terjadi). Namun, jumlah pencarian itupun akan terus berubah dari waktu ke waktu.
Jadi, angka 12.100 hanyalah sugesti saja dan bukan angka pasti, namun ini bisa dijadikan sedikit gambaran untuk kita dalam menentukan kata kunci yang di kejar.

Kompetisi berbanding terbalik dengan pencarian

Dalam perencanaan keyword utama dalam blog, kita harus memperhitungkan antara jumlah kompetisi dengan jumlah pencarian. Yang harus anda ingat adalah Jumlah pencarian harus mencari yang jumlahnya besar, sedangkan jumlah kompetisi harus kecil. Artinya jumlah kompetisi dengan jumlah pencarian harus berbanding terbalik.
Semakin banyak jumlah persaingan, maka blog kita akan sulit untuk jadi pemenang di search engine. Namun, walaupun kita menjadi rangking 1 di google, akan menjadi sia-sia saja apabila tidak ada orang yang mencari.
So, silahkan lakukan riset terlebih dahulu sebelum anda memutuskan untuk mencari target utama dengan kata kunci tertentu.

10 good reasons blogging should be your New Year’s Resolution

New Year’s Eve is a time to look back at the past, and more importantly, look forward to the new year. It’s a time to reflect on the changes you want to make and time to make sure to follow through.

A New Year’s resolution is a goal someone sets out to accomplish in the new year. Here are 10 good reasons why having a blog should be your New Year’s resolution.

1. Great writing practice

Blogging is writing. If you like writing, having a blog will help you improve and become a better writer.

2. Boosts your career prospects

A blog is like a shop window where you showcase your talents and build your reputation. It can open doors to new opportunities and improve your career prospects. It can be considered an extended CV.

3. Improves your finances

A blog can become a source of income. It can help pay your bills, improve your finances, get you out of debt and save money.

4. Builds your network

With blogging you start a conversation and connect with other people. This builds you a network of potential friends and business partners.

5. It is your creative outlet

Blogging is a creative activity. Whatever is on your mind, whatever ideas you might have, a blog is a creative outlet for you to share your ideas and creativity.

6. Makes you read

Being in the blogging industry makes you read a lot – read other blogs, read books, read comments. It opens your mind to new ideas and inspires you to do more.

7. Gets eyeballs on your work

If you are an artist or just want to spread your ideas and influence, blogging opens the doors to the whole world for you and gives you a wider audience. It allows good work to get shared and be spread, it can get you constructive criticism and gets you noticed.

8. It is your personal journal

Blogging is like keeping a journal of moments that you can look back at and revive the awesome memories or see the progress you have made.

9. Helps you help others

Blogging can be seen as a form for volunteerism. You choose to spend your time creating content that can help, inspire, educate, and/or entertain many other people.

10. Allows you more time with family

Blogging is usually done from home, it is done independently, and it doesn’t go through corporations. This allows you more time to spend on things that matter to you, for example your family and friends.

Blogging is a good way to spend your time

All in all blogging is a good distraction and a good way to pass the time productively.

You learn something new, you get educated and improve yourself. You become more organized, get better at time management, become more independent and watch less television.

How to start blogging

WordPress is the most popular blogging platform. It must be installed on a web server to work. For the simplest possible install, I recommend using Bluehost as you just click on a button to install a blog plus get domain and hosting for cheap.

It literally takes 5 minutes to have your blog up and running, no tech knowledge needed. Watch my step-by-step guide video and click here to get your blog started.

How to make 2013 your best blog year yet

• Be open-minded. Doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results will not work. To grow you’ve got to change your attitude towards blogging.

• Start publishing regular content. Create a schedule and stick to it – i.e. two posts per week. Fresh content gives life to your blog.

• Focus your content. Identify your target group and what you want them to achieve by interacting with your blog. Then focus all your content on them and that goal.

• Focus the front page and navigation. The content you focus on shouldn’t be hard to find for your first time visitors. Use static landing pages, sticky posts and link to landing pages from your navigation.

• Personalize. Show your face, create videos, put yourself into your blog – your personality makes your blog stand out.

• Share insights. Too many bloggers just share things that are already out there, you need to add value in your content.

• Get inspired. Subscribe to what interests you and read a lot. Figure out what they do that makes you excited about them and incorporate that into your own work.

• Plug yourself. You must actively promote your work wherever you can. Reach out and connect to new people daily and turn them into blog visitors. Read: how to get 500 blog visitors.
