Wordpress 2.6 Takes Blogging Up The Next Level
As I’m writing this article, there’s a subtle reminder in the center of my screen telling me that Wordpress 2.6 is available and I should update now. Like all bloggers, I feel the rush of excitement in my veins as I preview what the latest Wordpress blogging platform has to offer. Watch the video and be awed.

Blog comments are dead? What’s Your Say?
I’ve read over at Scobleizer that blog comments are dead. What made him say this may be out of personal observations or reasons, and I had the same observation, until now.
As a blogger, my daily routine is to scan and search the Internet for interesting articles and present them in a easily digestable form so that readers would be enticed to come back for more. Once a certain topic or article touches or conflicts with someone elses’ personal taste, then it becomes a long and interesting thread wherein everyone will express their views and opinions.
The only problem I had (in the past, at least), is that those interesting discussions seems to be barred by comment spams coming from bots that relentlessly unleash advertisements and comment junks. So, instead of focusing our efforts in creating interesting content, our time is now divided between writing content and deleting spam comments.
My blog comments were dead, until I’ve installed Akismet. Just look at the sheer number of spam comments that are blocked by Akismet (the statistics are shown on my homepage by the way). I’ve prefer to let my readers see the Akismet stats so that they have a sense of assurance that all the comments here comes from humans that are really interested in the topics, not from spam bots.
Happy commenting!

Comment Spam go away!
I had it with these spambots literally flooding byteburn.com with useless comments, and I’m sure that legitimate comments are being pushed out to the bottom of the list due to the bulk of spam that my site is receiving.
It’s time to fight back!

Free Blogger Site allowing content thieves to flourish
Google should start charging the use of its Blogger website to control the rise of those people stealing the content from other sites then monetize them using Adsense.
It might have happened to you, especially if your blog has huge traffic volumes. As soon as you have posted an article, you’ll see the same, exact, word-for-word content posted into someone elses’ “phony” blogger site with all the adsense ads around it. They make it appear as if they own the content.

Don’t worry too much about Adsense death
If you are active on forums such as Digitalpoint, you’ll notice that it is not only once that some sort of question will be about “when will adsense end”, “adsense bubble burst”, “ending adsense”, “the death of adsense” and all other stuff about adsense going away.

Blog Flipping, will it bring you quick cash?
I am intrigued with the idea of blog flipping. Basically, blog flipping means that you create a blog, drive traffic into your blog, then sell it for “quick cash”.

Blogger site slowdown
Update: I am out of Blogger and into my own domain using Wordpress. Things are really better now. Site colors are very customizeable and there are plenty of themes and options for Wordpress.
I have noticed it from the past weeks that posting on Blogger.com has been a major task to accomplish. At first, I thought it was Internet connection since I am using dial-up at home, but the same story goes here in the office wherein we are using a high-speed Internet connection.
This is the reason why I haven’t been updating my Blogger site recently.
Any news on Blogger betas’ performance? Any slower and I guess I would move over to Wordpress.
