While researching some blogging sites, I ran across a site with seven different tips for creating an interesting blog that people will like to read. I found the suggestions to be helpful in coming up with content ideas and regulating the blog steadily.

1. Establish a pattern- In blogging, this means to have a schedule for updating your blog. People are creatures of habit. They like patterns.

Use associations in your writing. People have better memory retention if they can associate what you’re saying (or writing) to something else.

2. KISS- This is an acronym meaning, “Keep it Simple, Stupid” or “Keep it Simple, Silly.” This isn’t saying you can’t use technical language, just make sure your readers understand it. Clarify and reinforce the information.

3. Add variety- Break out of the shell once in awhile and have fun. Entertain your audience.

4. Motivate your audience- The material you’re presenting to them must be important or they wouldn’t be reading it. If it’s not important to every reader, then give them reasons why it should be important to them.

5. Use a strong opening- A reader usually decides if they want to read the material by the end of the first sentence. You’ve grabbed their attention with the headline or title–keep their attention with a killer intro.

6. Use vivid words and descriptions- If it’s possible with the material you’re presenting, bring the reader’s senses into play. Give them something more than words on the screen. Help them visualize it, feel it, smell it–whatever sense you can invoke with the reader.

7. End with a firm statement- Leave the readers with a clear message. Make sure that message is stated again in the end to reinforce its importance

As I was sitting in my room and I just could not find anything to do, I went to my old reliable…Stumbleupon.com. When I was stumbling I ran across a program called iNudge. It is a very simple music program which allows the user to instantly creat music at their fingertips.

It gives you a large selection of instruments and synthesizers with different notes and tones that you may combine with each other and create a virtual band or orchestra. It was not only an instant cure for my boredom but i found myself unable to stop making different combinations of melodies.

I felt that i had to share the program and encourage all of you to visit i www.inudge.com and try it out. Just make sure you have some free time because it should entertain you for a while.

Creative commons is revolutionizing the legal aspect of the individual, organizational and institutional creativity. It is standardizing a way to gain copyright permission for all members of society. It allows people to copyright their product as “all rights reserved”, “some rights reserved” and even “no rights reserved and lets you change the change the terms easily.

As well as simplifying this process, Creative Commons is a portal for free and legal public sharing, remixing and repurposing. Although it is not an alternative to copyright, Creative Commons works alongside copyright to make sure the terms best suit your personal needs.

The organization believes that one’s intellectual property is worth protecting and it should be protected just the way that YOU see fit.

With the recent discovery on the Myspace profile of a certain Grove City College faculty member, I though to myself…Does anyone actually use Myspace anymore? Thinking back to my middle school year i remember that if you wanted to be popular, you had to have a Myspace and talk to babes on it.

The demise of Myspace was basically brought down by the explosion of Facebook in my opinion. Although it was originally started as a way to share your music it developed into a powerful social media website that just could not compete with mighty Facebook.

Now even Twitter has surpassed Myspace in the social media world, more or less sealing the death of Myspace.
