10 killer tips for getting mobile subscribers for your blog
1. Make your feed easy to locate.
It should be at the top of the page, or very close. Pushing your feed to the bottom of the page means that fewer people will subscribe – and mobile users may not subscribe at all.2. Shorten your feed URL.
Some blogs try to put keywords or even a description in their feed URL, which may be good for SEO, but it’s not nice to enter a long URL into your phone. For instance, ProBlogger’s blog feed is feeds.feedburner.com/ProbloggerHelpingBloggersEarnMoney – this is just too long for mobile users. If your feed URL is already long, you could use a URL shortener to make life easier for mobile subscribers.3. Use heading styles.
I’ve banged on about this in several previous posts, but it really becomes obvious if you don’t use heading styles when browsing on a phone. Sometimes I do just bold the title of each tip at the start of the paragraph – other blogs may use bold text in a paragraph just before the body text – but this isn’t great on a phone. Use a heading style for everything that should be a header – it makes your posts so much easier to browse.4. Use paragraphs – and keep them short.
I know some bloggers seem to avoid the use of paragraphs, instead preferring to write a huge block of text – and others may use very long paragraphs. On a phone, this is a nightmare. It’s tricky to determine how long a paragraph should be, as phones have smaller screens and each line of text will wrap much sooner than it would on a computer. Just try to avoid long paragraphs.5. Write shorter posts.
If you don’t need to write an extra 100-200 words, just don’t. Better still, go back and edit out any unnecessary sections of your post if you’re basically saying the same thing 3 or 4 times over. For some reason my phone doesn’t always display the entire post in my feed, even though the feed itself contains the whole post. And there aren’t any page numbers.If you have something really vital to say in a long post – say it at the start! This is a good rule anyway, as it grabs the attention of a potential reader and gets them to keep on reading.
6. Consider offering a mobile-only feed.
I’ve always believed in “full feeds” – i.e. showing the full post in the feed, instead of just an excerpt. But as I said in #5, on a phone this may not work as expected. As a mobile user I’d still like to see a full feed, but a summary would probably be OK. That way, I can click through if I want to read the entire post. Avoid title-only feeds though – they are pretty pointless. At least provide a short description on each post.7. Don’t use feed ads.
When every post in a feed has the same annoying ad at the bottom, I see little reason to subscribe. These ads are bad enough in a feed reader. But on a phone, they are incredibly painful to deal with. Bottom line – mobile users won’t bother subscribing if you use feed ads.8. Limit the use of images.
Don’t put images in your feed if they’ll take ages to download – anything above 100KB is too big. Don’t use images that are too tall, or too wide – this will cause horizontal scrolling on a phone. It may be easier just to omit the images from your feed – images can kill the mobile experience.9. Don’t rely on third-party services.
If you must use images or buttons in your posts, at least host them yourself. Loading a website on a phone can take longer than on a computer, and the fewer external resources you link to, the better. Generally this shouldn’t be as much of an issue in your feed as on your site, but don’t make it a problem just because you want to throw loads of images into your feed.10. Subscribe to your own blog.
I suggest this anyway, but I strongly recommend subscribing to your blog from your phone, as well as browsing your blog from your phone. If you find any weirdness, you can make changes accordingly. If you’ve never visited your blog from a phone, you’ll be in the dark, and you’ll never know if mobile users have a good time on your site – if it loads at all.Friday, January 28, 2011
10 Smart Ways to Protect Your Computer against Viruses
Virus infection on your computer may cause a very serious damage and even loss on your business. You can just imagine it may wreck your system registry or your entire computer (with all your receivables data on it!) or all your HTML programs! It will come to total black out screen, it will not boot at all. But that is actually the worse scenario that may happen. Are you going to wait for this worse scenario in your life to happen? I guess NOT, right?Here are the 10 smart ways that I personally do to protect my computers against viruses, malicious dialers and spywares.
(1)If you are using Windows XP, always turn on the firewall.
(2)Always run all necessary latest updates & service packs (all windows! including all your programs & software!---keep them updated)
(3)Run your anti-virus program everyday (some do it every week) There are many virus programs that you can get for free scanning.
(4)Run your anti-spyware/adaware once a week (I run Spybot Search & Destroy & Lavasoft Adware Personal --- they are shareware, meaning it's free!). What I do is that, I run the Lavasoft Adware first, then run the Spybot Search and Destroy (I also run it with "immunize" tool). These two tools are always on top of my desktop for easy access.
(5)Turn on the pop-up blocker - this feature is available on Windows XP (you can see this under tools>Internet Options >Privacy>click Block Pop Ups. In addition to this, I also download another pop up blocker, the Google Toolbar. I find their pop up blocker the most effective in blocking pop ups.
(6)Never open mails that are suspicious to you or not known to you. If they are in your bulk mail, send it back to your provider as "spam"! I never enable my bulk mail. I automatically delete emails from my bulk mail.
(7)When using messenger (IM) services, be very careful with files being sent through instant messenger. Rather choose to have it emailed it to you. Most of email services now has virus check and clears it if the file has virus or not.
(8)Be very careful when downloading files or any programs from the internet, pay attention on the instructions while downloading it. Downloading may sometimes cause error on the system registry or the entire computer system (one example, my nephew got his computer badly infected with viruses because of heavy downloading of games and music! - I guess!)
(9)Be careful with files that come from a floppy disk or any other external storage when you open it in your CD ROM of floppy drive. You should know its source, or better yet, when you insert it, have it scanned with your anti-virus program before you open the files.
(10)Run defragmentation, disk clean up, registry scanner at least once a week. You can find defragmentation by simply pointing your mouse on drive C: (which is usually the hard disk main logical drive)> right click the mouse>click on properties>click on tools>click on defragment now!
There are so many shareware on the internet that you can get for free! (that is the reason it is a shareware!). Keeping your computer healthy can make you more productive (if you have a business!) or it will make you enjoy more surfing and browsing the internet!
10 ways blogging can help you get a job
1. A link for your portfolio.
As with several of the points in this post, this is only going to be relevant to certain roles, such as web design or development. Many of these roles will ask for examples of previous work. It’s always better to include links that go further than “this is the last full-time job I did”.If you’re not looking for jobs in web design or development, keep in mind that your employer may be able to find your blog anyway. It’s better to avoid posting anything that could harm your reputation than try and hide your blog from certain people.
2. Community involvement.
Are you someone who looks for ways to improve things? Do you help other bloggers with technical queries or general tips for how to build a better blog? Have you set up a group of like-minded bloggers or arranged any kind of events?Depending on the role you’re going for, networking with other bloggers shows you care about others, and you work well in a team. It’s not a substitute for hands-on experience within the industry you’re looking for jobs in, but it is a good backup if you don’t have as much experience as you’d like.
3. Writing skills.
Posting on your blog will give potential employers a good idea of how you write. Therefore, accurate spelling and grammar is very important. Take the time to proof-read your posts, and edit them if you find any errors after a post is published. Most jobs look for strong writing skills, and blogging is actually a really good way to practise.4. Some jobs want web-savvy, not just tech-savvy.
Employers have asked for basic PC skills for quite some time now. In fact, some jobs don’t even mention this anymore, and instead assume you will already have the skills you need to get started.Now, some jobs are starting to put the focus on web skills, not just PC skills. Companies are becoming much more interested in blogging, web advertising, and Twitter. If you possess some knowledge in these areas, it can really help your application.
5. Managing multiple priorities.
We all have things that need doing. Cooking, cleaning, washing, ironing, looking after the family, car maintenance, house repairs… all the usual stuff that goes on when you’re not at work.For many people, having time to blog is a good reflection on your ability to manage multiple priorities. It gets you into a routine. If you run multiple blogs, even better.
6. Emerging as an authority.
If you build a blog that helps you to emerge as an authority on an area you’d like to work in, people will start to see that you’re out there, and possibly approach you.I’ve been approached many times for advice, freelance projects and general feedback. Sometimes it’s as simple as a supportive comment, in other cases I’ve been presented with suggestions or contributions that will ultimately benefit my projects and the people who use them.
If I wanted to be a full-time freelancer, then I’d work harder to pursue leads. Even without actively asking people to give me coding projects, I do get small coding jobs simply by continuing to blog. Putting yourself out there is a good thing.
7. References.
If you’ve ever helped another blogger or worked with them on something, even if it’s just a small volunteer project (rather than a big commercial job), they might be willing to give you a reference. Don’t expect it – but if it’s someone who could potentially help you with a job application, do ask.References don’t just come from the people you’ve sat next to at work. Currently, I have three very strong references who can each provide good feedback, but most importantly, they each have a very different perspective. In my view, references are best when each person can comment on a different aspect of your career, your personality, and how you work.
8. It’s an interest.
I’m not keen on listing my interests on a job application, but people do ask. Think of what happens if you list your interests as drinking, pubbing, clubbing… would you want that person to work for you? Would they roll in late every Monday morning?Being able to list interests that are actually interesting can be a great talking point – and it may be a good icebreaker for interviews. Saying you watch TV and not much else isn’t going to set the pulses racing. But saying you actively update a blog about (insert your choice of topic here) shows you care enough to blog in the first place, and could generate some interest from an interviewer. Making a solid connection is important – you want to be memorable, not forgettable.
9. It might be a blogging job!
Well yes – if you’re going for a blogging job, previous experience as a blogger should help. But before you say “I don’t want to make money from my blog”, think of how many companies have blogs now. Honestly, I couldn’t give you a figure, but business blogging seems to be a lot more common than it used to be. Someone has to update that blog. What if you could do it, either as your main responsibility or as part of a larger job?10. It shows that you have knowledge in what you do.
We’ve already looked at emerging as an authority on a topic. If you blog about the kind of work you do, as I do, then it doesn’t just help you to get noticed – it confirms that you know your stuff. You’re not just someone who says they have however many years experience in something. You’re showing that you have a deep understanding and appreciation of your career. This is what pushes you from being a good candidate to a great candidate – and who knows, it might land you a great job with a great salary.
