The Blog series chapter 1

The Blog series chapter 1

Since blogging is so used and so “cool” these days we’ll give you a few articles about blogging and what you need to know and do to have a good and successful blog.

First of all you need to thing what you want, if you can afford to pay for the domain name and for the hosting services there are a lot of domain name sellers and resellers and just as many hosting providers. Domain names are very cheap these days and GoDaddy.com is the best seller and has the best prices, for hosting, we can point you DreamHost.com, they give huge storage space and bandwidth and if you plan on hosting multiple websites on the same hosting package it’s just perfect. If you decide you can’t afford the price for your own domain name and hosting and choose to go with a free blog, there are a lot of places where you can host your blog, blogger.com wordpress.com and so on.

Now back to your own domain name and your own hosting. In this case you need a blogging script a program that you have to install to your server and use it to post your daily thoughts. Word-Press is the best choice, it’s free, it’s reliable and most of all it has so many cool features available to download and to use for your blog. Download it here!


After you download Wordpress unzipp the downloaded file and use the readme file to install it(it’s really simple)!

You can change the way your blog looks by downloading and installing new themes (there are huge archives of free themes for you to browse and use to make your blog more appealing to your visitors!)

Microsoft discussing a$ 50 billion deal with Yahoo

Microsoft discussing a $50 billion deal with Yahoo

There are some recent talks that Microsoft made an offer worth $50 billion for a merge with Yahoo, this comes with the need for more fighting power against the huge Google that dominates the web search and has a huge piece of the online advertising market share(32.1% in 2007,yahoo: 18.7% in 2007 and MSN: 6.8% in 2007).

Microsoft’s web division is heading for a shake-up because of the failure to go against Google in web search and might be also heading for a change in the executive management!

Frankly i can’t even imagine what will result from this deal, i don’t believe that the joined entities will have more chances in defeating the huge Google and thinking about the fact that Microsoft is working it’s butt off to develop the famous AdCenter for over a year now and no serious things got out of it makes me believe that it would be a $50billion deal down the drain. We’ll just going to wait and see what will happen!
