Commenting on blogs

2006-11-28T17:20:00.000-08:00

Naturally, when someone reads an article or writings, thoughts will start to form in their mind and most of the time, they will want to express it somewhere.

Commenting facility available in blog software is one way to allow the above to happen. The success blog software achieves till date is due to one reason. Communication. Commenting facility allows feedback from readers to the author, almost immediately after the article is published.

Commenting facility allows readers to voice their opinion to the author and in many cases, the author will reply.

Commenting also creates bonding between the author and its' readers. Sometimes the bonding can be so close until friendship is tied.

Commenting creates interconnectivity between blogs on blog sphere. The commenting facility on blog allows readers to leave their blog's address on the comment itself. This will allow the author, in return, to visit its readers' blogs.

The comments allows "Web Spiders" to crawl through the blog and finding itself next target via links provided by readers. It is some sort of like making a big road directory of blog highways. Some "Web Spiders" are Google bots, MSN, Iktomi and so on.

Comments provided to the author must be constructive, NOT destructive. It is because the article was written by the author on its own web space and readers must respect that. Even if the reader doesn't like what they read, it is good to contact the author directly rather than commenting.

Comments must be short and straight to the point. The reader must bear in mind that they are on other people's "land".

In conclusion, commenting on blogs is important. So, start commenting now. :D

Water to human

2006-11-22T23:59:00.000-08:00

Water is very important to human.

An adult's body is made of 55% to 75% water. A new born baby is 74% water.

Every day, an average person must drink about 2 liters of water to replace the water removed from the body through swear, evaporation, and urine. Water is needed for our body parts to function. So, even if you don't feel thirsty, you still need to drink that water.

Human can live for 2 months without food, but only few days if without water. When human don't drink enough clean water, they will fall sick.

Only 1% of earth water is clean for consumption, even though the earth are 75% covered with water. It is important for us human to preserve clean water. Try not to waste water or pollute our rivers.

Find out from here on more points of the importance of drinking water.

It is dry and cold season now, drink more water to keep healthy, OK!

Google

Do I need to mention that Google is important?

If you ask to someone, "Where can I find more information about The Statue of Liberty?", you would most probably be replied with, "Why not you Google it?".

In fact, it is so common in our current society that whatever we need, we will Google it on the Internet. Google has established such a strong brand name that it has been entered into the dictionary ¹ as a transitive verb. You could use it in replacement of "Search". E.g. Search for restaurants in Europe => Google for restaurants in Europe.

Thanks to Google, our work and life is made much easier. Searching for information can never be easier.

The Sun

2006-11-22T23:26:00.000-08:00

The Sun, as we all know it, provides us light in the day time. However, there are some who may not have seen light, e.g. Geeks.. :p.

Well, the Sun is a stationary ball of fire placed in the middle of our rotating solar system. All planets, including ours, rotates around it. It is so hot, at 5,600 Celsius on the surface and 15,000,000 Celsius towards the core ¹, it could burn anything passing by it.

The Sun provides important energy to our green plants so that they could produce food through photosynthesis. By doing that, it can grow and from it, we, the human, can pick it up and eat it.

Sun ray also provides vitamin D to nourish our skin so that it stays healthy. However, too much sun ray will cause skin cancer. So beware of this.

The thinning of our ozone layer is currently allowing too much of sun ray penetrating through our atmosphere creating this phenomenon called "Green House" effect. This "Green House" effect is bad and will cause our sea level to rise and other problems.

The sun is and always will be an important planet in our solar system. To learn more about the great sun, find our here.

Blogging on the Internet

2006-11-22T18:53:00.000-08:00

Blogging is a way of which any person can use to relax themselves. Pouring out personal expressions and getting responses from people whom we might not even know before is so ... enjoyable.

Blogging allows anonymity. Which means, that person could write about everything and people may not even know who is he/she.

Blogging could even help a person to polish his/her writing skills, even if for the first few time, it may sound horrible. Over time, practice make perfect.

Blogging could deter suicidal idea. Some people are so depressed that when he/she blogs and get responses, it may help to divert his/her attention from suicide.

Blogging could make you popular too, for example, Mr. Kenny Sia, Mr. AHpek, and even Hijack Queen. How wonderful is that?

Blogging could even sometimes get you into trouble, politically of course. :(

Anyway you think of it, blogging is part of someone's life now, some may just started, some may be seasonal, and some may even don't know that someone is blogging about him/her. :D

Blogging is important! Don't take it away. :D
