BloggersWalk

I just wanted to say that I’m still here and I’m not taking another hiatus from BloggersWalk. I already explained it over at ahnternet, but my server was having some massive problems with four CPUs having a load of 25+. Actually I didn’t know about this error until today, and I thought that my Internet was the problem. However, I realized the loads today and moved to a better server with eight CPUs.

BloggersWalk should thus load a bit quicker for you guys and it definitely does for me. I was supposed to put up a post yesterday, but this is the main reason why I couldn’t. I won’t be a dork and skip this update. In the next 24 hours, that update that was due will go live. Just to give you all a sneak peak, it’ll be a post about being efficient as a blogger.

The reason behind the topic is that I realize many bloggers (including myself) are students, and as the summer wraps up, our schedules that we had over the summer will be very different than our schedules for the next few months. So, I decided to touch on the topic of being an efficient blogger, so that’s going to be coming up in the next few hours.

Yeah, that’s about it. Just thought I’d give a heads up and an update on a no update. On a side note, let’s congratulate CERN for their beam today. I watched it live and it was truly an awesome moment as I’m quite interested in that science, geeky stuff.

Well, today’s a day when a post is due. However, I’ve decided to timestamp the post to tomorrow. Why? To first make an important announcement.

Now, I’ve made BloggersWalk an even more attractive place to make a comment at! Yes, I’ve finally installed the famous CommentLuv plugin that will surely get you guys some link juice. So, wait for tomorrow’s post and make sure that you make a comment in that one!

EDIT: I just noticed that while writing this, the time to September 3rd. Oh well, I guess technically, you guys can wait for another post today.

Luckily, I was able to get to updating this blog to WordPress 2.6 a lot earlier than I thought. So far I haven’t seen much changes here on the admin panel’s side. However, as promised, I’ll check out the new and improved features with WordPress 2.6 and some of my thoughts on this update.

I know that I’m not a pro with blogging just yet. However, I’m an avid learner and feel as if I’m learning more and more about the blogosphere and the monetizing part of blogging too. Personally, I feel that I am able to quickly consume more and more knowledge about blogging because I am constantly asking questions on how to make my blogs better. Nonetheless, I am neither a genius nor a question bag. So, I’ve decided to try something new at BloggersWalk.

Yes, a mailbag! What is it? Well, if you have any questions regarding blogging or monetizing your blog, send some questions over to mailbag at BloggersWalk dot com. Every week I’ll start off the week with answering a couple of questions that came to the mailbag. If there are a lot of questions, I’ll briefly answer a few of them. If there aren’t so many, I’ll pick one and give an thorough answer.

So what are you waiting for? After all this is free “consultation”, if you can put it that way!

So before trying to hire someone else, I played around with Photoshop and created a logo for BloggersWalk. As the logo suggests, the color scheme of a possible theme for BloggersWalk in the future will probably be centered around the two colors you see in the logo.

Tell me what you think of it. Give me some feedback! I’ll probably stick with this for now, but I’m still open to modifications.

What do you guys think?

Okay, so after the first BloggersWalk introduction post I have yet to post another post. It certainly is not a lack of enthusiasm for the project and nor is it because I totally forgot about it. I was just too busy with my summer work and while I constantly thought that I should post my first quality post, I never had the chance. So, to push myself, I decided to make a schedule.

From today on, BloggersWalk will publish a quality blog post every Tuesday and Friday. It is possible that I will post even more whenever time permits, but these are the two days that I will for sure write up a new content.

Now, this does not mean that you should only check BloggersWalk every Tuesday and Friday. Infact, you should check everyday! As I said, I will try to post more than twice a week, but for now, I will at least get two posts up a week.

So, what does that mean? The first blog-related, the road to becoming a professional blogger-type of post will come tomorrow, June 24, 2008!

Welcome to BloggersWalk!

My name is Gnus (alias really…) and since January 1, 2003, I’ve been actively engaged in the making, promoting, and selling of websites, domains, design services, and a few other “Internet” activities. Throughout my many experiences, one of the things that I thought would be worthwhile and a learning experience was blogging.

In mid-June of 2006, I really began to dig into what blogging was all about, by starting a Zune fansite based on WordPress. Ever since, I’ve sold the Zune blog and featured as a part-time blogger for many tech blogs, sports blogs, and game blogs. However, missing my enjoyable times as a Zune fan-blog administrator, since early 2008, I began to think of what I could blog about.

After months of thinking and seeing what niche I could try out I still couldn’t find an answer. Then, I realized that blogging itself is what I was interested in. After my high-school graduation in early June 2008, I decided that I should create a blog dedicated to blogging. Plus, maybe I thought that maybe I should become a professional blogger too, if a job even existed!

That is what you see here now. BloggersWalk. A blog dedicated to the art of blogging. I plan on running my own personal blog dedicated to all my various and extreme hobbies, but I wanted to keep the blogging section at a separate zone; BloggersWalk is that place, my little abode where I learn what blogging is what becoming a professional blogger really means.

I am still not an expert in blogging. However, my current goal is to carry this blog through until my next graduation four years later. Everything I learn regarding designing a blog design to promoting blogs and writing good content for it, I will share here in BloggersWalk. It will certainly not be an easy path the next four years and I do know that from time to time I will be tempted to quit. Nonetheless, I hope to reach my goal.

Will you join me in my new, exciting journey?

Again, welcome to BloggersWalk. I hope that you learn a lot from my stories as I start a journey to becoming a professional blogger. Please leave a comment with a link to your blog too, as I can’t wait to share and learn what you have in store for me too.

Thank you.
