So, what is FeedBurner? Hm, I will try to share with you a little bit about FeedBurner using my own experience and by searching in the net but if my post states the wrong information; you can correct me at anytime by leaving comment below this post.<br /><br />From the net, I find out that FeedBurner is a web feed management provider which launched in 2004. FeedBurner provide media distribution and audience engagement services for blogs, website and RSS Feeds.<br /><div><span class="fullpost"><br />For your information, RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication if I’m not mistaken which is one types of web feed file format used to publish frequently updated posts. Normally, posts here mean new blog entries, new audio, new files and also news headlines.<br /><br />Sincerely, I think by using FeedBurner, it will benefit the publishers and also the readers. Web Feeds benefit publishers by letting them organize their content automatically and for the readers, when they subscribes using FeedBurner, they will be able to receive the new updates of their favorite blogs or websites. </span></div>ISKANDARhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06397075555083447937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241234665852546461.post-39182848439858380772009-06-11T11:22:00.000-07:002009-06-11T11:48:36.181-07:008.

A blog could be a diary, a description, a review and maybe a set of instruction to do something.<br /><br />So, why blog are important to you? Blog offer various facilities in blogosphere such as simple business advertising, file storage, digital album, product promotion and recent news. Therefore, you will be a little bit behind from others if you don’t have your own blog. To share with all of you, I’ve state five reasons why you should create your own blog.<br /><br />1. Knowledge<br />This is the main reason why you should have your own blog. Knowledge can be obtained from books, experiences, experiments, impressions and brainstorming. Other than that, you can read blog to gain more knowledge about almost everything. For an example, each one of us has a different interest, if we write about it in our own blog others will get information from the post that we create in the blog. In the meantime, we will gain more knowledge by reading other people’s blog too.<br /><br />2. Interest or Enthusiasm<br />Enthusiasm and talent can be spread out in blog. If you have a natural talent in singing, drawing or writing, write a blog about that and keep update from time to time. Share your blog with relatives, family and friends from all around the world. Don’t let your talent is waste just like that, blog is a space to spread out your words and your talent.<br /><br />3. Communication<br />You can upgrade your communication skill when you write your own opinion in the blog. Did you believe that blog can optimize your communication skills and confident level? Some of the bloggers will write using their own opinion either with research or without them. Normally, there must be readers who will leave a comment if they don’t agree with the post. By answering the comments, bloggers can boost up their communication skills and confident level. In addition, this will sharpened their writing skills.<br /><br />4. Emotional<br />Blog also can be a platform to release your pressure and stress. As an example, you can write about your daily life and share your problem with others. Maybe the readers have the best solution regarding to your problem.<br /><br />5. Economy<br />Nowadays, you can make money via blogging. But, it’s not as simple as ABC to generate money from the blog. You must have knowledge and preparation before you can make money through blogging. Maybe you can join advertising and affiliates program when you have a large amount of unique visitor everyday. Other than that, you can sell your own product in your blog to gain extra money.<br /><br />Thank you for reading my thought about this. Maybe you have something to say about blogging. I’m appreciates if you can share with me. Good luck with your blog and happy blogging..<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345412176713211538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 160px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 160px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5lq974vZa8W9YImOWrJGKlzSQyQr6GiJ8jncsjNKRv4qppHo4M2FAiCf3hEYZTspe7nH5e1wcAnHyNB8s-GOYGnf1zPA6ASedrHdNKsss0p90nL3IMURwvaPVweXJ4HOLlK7RBaeBRAjv/s400/TQ.jpg" border="0" /></span>ISKANDARhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06397075555083447937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241234665852546461.post-33800743735254568992009-06-09T12:10:00.000-07:002009-06-09T12:21:50.826-07:006.

Improvement # 1: JS-Kit CommentsFirst of all, this is not a review or a submission for ‘pay per post’ program. From now on, I decide to update the improvements that I do for my blog, Iskandarisme. For your info, in my last project, I’m using haloscan (you can check out my post about haloscan <a href="http://projectagloco2007.blogspot.com/2007/05/46-im-using-haloscan.html"><span style="color:#ff0000;">here</span></a>) for my comments widget. So, I think the first improvement is to add my comments widget in Iskandarisme.<br /><br />But, when I’m log in to my haloscan account, I find out that they are switching to something new namely JS-Kit Comments. Actually, there are more widget in <a href="http://js-kit.com/"><span style="color:#ff0000;">JS-Kit dot com</span></a> but let’s just focused one in a time.<br /><br /><p><a href="http://js-kit.com/"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343184828819990402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 340px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 58px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip6Nc4Eku6CoQmOL9zLB4ihAZElzVzRcCU1p6tCF6_6uI6TXzWn6wFmxyQiSvWLsIWLkAqqI0IYpJmA5ktRgdb5yg_gEGm6A-con6ooyg4Z0bajzPmJrjJ00hJZf4k0tQfaE3JRHkQHtIY/s400/untitled1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />JS-Kit claimed that they are providing fast, powerful and incredibly simple tools to enable web publishers to become part of the distributed social web. From their site, I know that there are about 630,000 publisher large and small trusts JS-Kit to enrich their sites. And it’s good that JS-Kit tools are highly customizable to ensure a seamless fit within my blog.<br /><br />Without wasting my time I create a new and free account with JS-Kit to use the JS-Kit Comments Widget. Check out my new comment section below my post if you are interested in trying this great widget. Leave me a comment and tell me what do you think about this widget personally. Have a great day.</p>ISKANDARhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06397075555083447937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241234665852546461.post-78969609396880907232009-06-03T03:38:00.000-07:002009-06-08T05:48:24.271-07:002. Why Iskandarisme?<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343050539015586866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 207px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK0qOAjQB9paximfME2pJOL18tgK1mu0lsvj1h1XajmYz2t6vgBkIYxeg5QYmAYA6s1IA1Zq7uF6hdSBsOMFn5zTM_ghqNltM4efp5icRHuhbC45WPiHemR382jhOnnsnO-qbHBc0gkvZD/s400/300px-BattleofIssus333BC-mosaic-detail1.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>Actually, I’m start blogging since 2007 but I stop for a while because the first project was unsuccessful. This is my <a href="http://www.projectagloco2007.blogspot.com/">first blog</a> ever. But, I end up to starting up a new life with Iskandarisme. Hopefully, Iskandarisme will provide more information and benefits to all of you out there.</div><br /><div>Why Iskandarisme? <span class="fullpost">This is the question I had to answer before I decided to create this blog. <span class="fullpost">It’s all start with <a href="http://www.wikipedia.org/">Wikipedia</a> and I’m sure you know more than me about this website. When I search for the words ‘Iskandar’ in Wikipedia, there are 797 items which could be found there. According to Wikipedia, Iskandar can be refer to:</div></span><ul><li>Alexander the Great, by which name he is known in some cultures.</li><br /><li>Iskandar, a Timurid ruler of Persia.</li><br /><li>Iskandar Muda, famous ruler of Aceh Sultanate.</li><br /><li>Iskandar Malaysia, the new main southern development corridor in Johor, Malaysia.</li><br /><li>Sultan Iskandar, names of several Muslim rulers who share the same title and name.</li></ul><p><span class="fullpost"></p></span><p>But, actually I’m very interested in this one; Iskandar can refer to Alexander the Great, by which name he is known in some cultures. So, I checked again who is Alexander the Great. There’s no surprise there are a lot of information about him. Therefore, I will state a little bit information that I got from Wikipedia itself.</p><ul><li>Alexander the Great also known as Alexander III of Macedon was an ancient Greek King (basileus) of Macedon (336–323 BC).</li><br /><li>He was one of the most successful military commanders of all time and is presumed undefeated in battle.</li><br /><li>By the time of his death, he had conquered the Achaemenid Persian Empire, adding it to Macedon's European territories; according to some modern writers, this was most of the world as known to the ancient Greeks.</li></ul><p align="left">Enough a little bit about him, let’s get back to Iskandarisme. Looking for the picture above, no wonder he became the most successful military commanders in his era. The point here is, I want to take the good side of the Iskandar or also known as Alexander the Great.</p><p align="left">P.S: Is Iskandar and Alexander the Great is the same person? What do you think?</p><span class="fullpost"><p align="left"></span></span></p>ISKANDARhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06397075555083447937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241234665852546461.post-87683813416482869582009-06-02T02:39:00.000-07:002009-06-03T03:33:06.584-07:001.
