A Guide to My Blog

Josh — Thu, 16 Mar 2006 23:20:59 +0000

Now that my blog is finally getting somewhat popular (over 100 hits a day) I decided it would be a good time for this post, because I don’t want people to miss out on all the good stuff I posted at the beginning. Of course, I think everyone should read all my posts, but I’ll be realistic. Here is a guide on which posts would be interesting to you.

For Everyone:

Flip 4 Mac

For us Mac users who hate Windows Media Player, this is the program for you. It automatically opens WMVs and WMAs in Quicktime. It also comes equipped with an internet plug-in, which will open streaming video in Quicktime. Works like a charm.

I was browsing around a website with pictures of cool concept cars when I came across this. It’s actually a delivery truck, but if I ever open a skating rink, this would be what my zamboni would like.

100 Hits

Josh — Wed, 15 Mar 2006 23:37:19 +0000

For the first time, my blog got 100 hits today. Yayyyyyyyy.

Are You Bloggin’ Mad?!?

Josh — Wed, 15 Mar 2006 21:47:30 +0000

The answer to that question would be Hellz Yeah!

I recently signed up for Blog Mad, and it is freakin’ sweet. You surf other people’s blogs in order to get credits. At the same time other people are surfing blog (for the same reason) and end up at your blog. This will give your blog a hit, and take away a credit. So, to sum it all up, you surf blogs, to get credits, and other people surf your blogs to give you hits. It’s pretty awesome. Send me an email at TwistedJedi@gmail.com if you want an invite.

Express Yourself Online

Josh — Wed, 15 Mar 2006 21:32:29 +0000

Recently I became extremely interested in expressing myslef online. That’s why I have this blog. It took me a long time to get myself organized online. I hope this post will hope those of you who, like me, want to be heard in the vast online world.

Blogging – This one is easy. For those of you who don’t know, a blog is a place where you post whatever you want to say to the world online easily and effortlessly. You are reading a blog right now. If you want your own blog for free, you should use WordPress.com. It is the best free blogging service out there.

Websites – If you want your own webiste, first you have to make it. If you know HTML, go for it. But if you don’t, you can sitll make a webiste using a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get.) If you are a Mac user, I would reccomend buying iLife 06 and using iWeb to build your website. If you are a Windows user, Dreamweaver is a good bet, or maybe Front Page. I don’t have a Windows computer, so if you have know of a better WYSIWYG for Windows, write a comment.

Web Hosting - Alright, you’ve got your website ready to go. How do you get it online? (Preferably for free.) The answer is Free-Webster.com. Although it’s down currently, it is the best free hosting site on the net. My site is currently being hosted on some crappy 2nd rate site. If you click on a movie link, it won’t work, because the site won’t let me post movies.

Domain Names – So now you’ve got your site online, but it’s at some weird domain name like “yourusername.free-webster.com.” Unfortunately I don’t know of a freeg way to get a “.com” domain name. If you want a .com domain name, the cheapest place to get it is godaddy.com. If you want a free domain name, I would reccomend DotTK. This gives you something like this: whateveryouwant.tk.

Photos – If you want to share your photos with the world there is only one right way to do it: Flickr . Flickr is free, easy, widely-used, and works well with other sites (like WordPress). If you already have a Yahoo! ID, then you can activate your Flickr account instantly. If you don’t have a Yahoo! Account you should either get one OR sign up for Flickr seperately.

Storage – If you want to store your files online for free, Box.net is the way to go. You get 1GB for free, and 5 GB relatively cheap. If you want an account click here.
