How to Overwhelm Your Visitors

You see a lot of posts everyday telling you to DO NOT EVER DO THIS! or DO NOT EVER DO THAT! This post is about How To Overwhelm Your Visitors.

BlogCatalog is where the new fire is right now. It is similar to MyBlogLog, a social networking site.

Fake Comments Part I

Have you ever written fake comments for yourself or someone else? If you haven’t, would you want to? Let’s look at what fake comments can do for you.

Should Bloggers Blog about the Same Topic as Everyone Else?

While most bloggers browse around the blog-o-sphere and knows what’s happening to the web, some bloggers/readers only know one or two blogs that are tech related, and rely on those few blogs to give them a report on the web.

The Most Effective Place for Ads

In general, in what position are the ads when you click on them? What do you usually click on? (text link ads, banners, in-text ads, etc.)

Contact Forms vs Email Links

Some bloggers offer a contact form (where you enter your contact information and the contact form gets sent to the author), and some bloggers offer their email address, so you can email them directly. So which contact method is better? That’s what we’ll look at.

There are some readers of this blog that just manage to comment on every post. This post is to encourage lurkers to comment. If you’re shy like some people out there, this is your chance to say anything you want. Discuss whatever you want; movies, projects, blogs, making money, etc. Tell us a little bit about yourself; where you live, where you were born, etc. so it will be easier to comment in the future when you know other commentors.
Happy commenting! (I hope to see lots!)

This video is for Dad, for Fathers Day. Happy Fathers Day! It starts on 9:00AM of June 17 2007 where the artist wakes up and goes through the day. Most images belong to the original artist. You are free to give this to your own dad.

What do you think of this video? Did the artist do a good job? Would you give it to your dad? (Discuss in comments area)
Edit: Did you notice that NeonScent’s homepage is on one of the scenes? (with a girls’ reflection on top) The girl in the scenes isn’t the artist.

UPDATE: TUTORIAL ADDED.
Do you think the screen is really transparent? Some people fall for it.

Transparent screens are an excellent effect on a lot of things, as long as you don’t move the screen around. I recently stumbled upon a Flickr photo account with images of transparent screens.
The image to your left is an example of a “transparent screen”. Browse around the photo album and I will come back later today or tomorrow with a tutorial for a “transparent screen”.

How to Make a “Transparent Screen” Desktop

1. Move your screen away and take a picture of the space behind your screen. Try to take it from where the device would be.
2. Put your device back; careful not to move any wires, etc. Take a picture of it with the device. Upload the pictures onto your computer.
3. Open up any photo editing software (I’m using Adobe Photoshop) and open your pictures.
4. Drag the image with the device onto the one without the device. The image with the device should be on top.
5. Use the Selection Tool to select the screen part. It usually is distorted. Don’t worry; It will turn out alright.

6. Go to your Layers palette and drag the layer with the device into the trashcan. Make a new document the same size as your screen resolution and copy your selection and paste it.
7. Distort the image so that it fills up the whole document (your screen resolution) perfectly. If you don’t know your screen resolution, press alt+Print Screen beside your F12 key and paste it onto a new document in your photo editing software. Check the size. That is your resolution size.
8. Adjust the lighting. This part is tricky. You make it so it looks like a camera lens and not a image.
9. Set the image as your desktop. You have a “transparent” screen! As long as you don’t move it around a lot…

A refreshingly clean way to search the things that matter the most. Now you can save valuable time by having all the right searches on just one page!

It sometimes gets frustrating when you can’t remember the exact URL of a website or when you can’t find something. Sputtr might help. Sputtr currently has a collection of 36 major search engines and networks all in one place. The default is Google Search. Sputtr is also available in four languages. The networks and search engines include Google, Google Video, eBay, Amazon Search, SlashDot, Wikipedia, Deviantart, Dictionary, Reddit, Yahoo, Live, and more. The list goes on and on, and what can be better than having all your networks and search engines in one place? (on your homepage?)
