I recently received an interesting comment on digg about my last post Google Aiding Myanmar. The comment was an apparent misspelling in the article of the word “organisation” instead of the term “organization”.

“Was it a Misspelling or not?”

The comment about the apparent misspelling read:

“And doesn’t the misspelling of organization twice in the article as “organisation” ruin any credibility you have as an author?
Spell Check………..use it.”

I quickly responded as I am from Australia and that is how organisation it is spelled here. What interested me about the comment was the way the commenter said the misspelling would ruin the credibility of me as an author. It was quite a stab so when i checked for the misspelling and discovered it wasn’t i had to reply with this :

“Thanks for the comment, however with the spelling in Australia that’s how organisation is spelled. It’s same with other words like crazy is spelled crasy. It would be good if there was a plugin that modified the difference to not confuse people, depending on the ip. So when people came from England or Australia it said organisation or if from US it would read organization.
Anyways have a nice day. “

To be controversial if small details like this can ruin a authors credibility then that would mean any US Blog that uses words such as organization, would be seen by many other countries as a misspelling. However has that ever stopped you reading an interesting post?… The answer to 99% of us is no.

Unless it’s a real misspelling, when writing it’s best not to worry about details like this as it is the quality of the content that is important. Not to mention isn’t it the many different ways we write that defines us as writers.

I have been asked this question a number of times now “Is it a good idea to put Keywords in the comment name field in blogs”…? In answer to that question i agree in some ways it is fine and in other ways no. It’s all about how you do it… Let’s look at the options below and the reasons why.

Some Examples of good comment names -

• Timon Weller
• Timon Weller from Buyers Web
• Timon Weller from Make Money Online Ramblings

As you can see by always including the name it still keeps you as your character with the added bonus of also defining where you are from. This in turn can strengthen who you are on your blog and your opinion on the subject.

Some examples of Bad Comment Names include -

• Make Money
• Easy Money
• Get Rich Quick
• Skin Care

“People in general will always remember your name easier compared to a keyword…Because it is unique”

Overall with blogging your name is the most important aspect to include in the comment name field, as in the end we really are as bloggers selling ourselves. Also when you think about it by using your name on many blogs, readers will start to recognise your name comment elsewhere and so it will add value to your blog.

Long debated throughout history has been the debate about who came first. Leading scientists have been pulling together to try and work out an answer for ages and when they finally think they have the results they find some other lead that may indicate a change.

Old indications through archaeology indicate the first blogger records dating back around the sphinx era about  9000 - 10000 BC. In old Egypt Bloggers would write blogs for the kings and they would have icons to represent the the many phases of history. However was the concept of blogging formed first or the computer?

 ”This old image taken by the Pharoahs of the shinx reveals a mysterious anchient laptop, is it possible…?hehehe (lmao)”

Scientists are looking at many old archives to find more answers but the mystery still alludes them today.

So many companies out there offer free email accounts its hard to choose which one that suits you or which one is better? I wanted to do a quick vote on which ones you thought were better. Take in to account, usability, looks and size…There are so many options out there these days in free email accounts.

 Which email service do you prefer and why did you choose them?

Why did the Blogger cross the road?

Because he just got pinged by a webcrawler, stepped in dog pile, chased by the search engines and he had to find a publisher quick for his post…
