10 Years Ago On The Internet ....

Exactly on December 17, 1997, a man named Jorn Barger, coined the term "Weblog" for the first time.

Jorn Barger describe his daily routine of surfing the internet and write down a list of links that he came across as a process of "logging the web" thus the term "WEBLOG" appeared ;)



Jorn Barger has a say he share with Wired.

My intent for weblogs in 1997 was to make the web as a whole more transparent, via a sort of "mesh network," where each weblog amplifies just those signals (or links) its author likes best.

He also gave an advice to all those who blog, some of it really match the first idea why i started one here at zlythern :D

• A true weblog is a log of all the URLs you want to save or share. (So del.icio.us is actually better for blogging than blogger.com.)
• You can always improve on the author's own page title, when describing a link. (At least make sure your description is full enough that readers will recognize any pages they've already visited, without having to visit them again.)
• Always include some adjective describing your own reaction to the linked page (great, useful, imaginative, clever, etc.)
  

And there's an advice that i really need to work out on zlythern :P

Re-post your favorite links from time to time, for people who missed them the first time.

Check out the rest of his advice on Wired. The complete 10 Tips for New Bloggers From Original Blogger Jorn Barger ;)

But be warned that Jorn Barger definition of "WEBLOG" is a collection of links :D Some of you may have offended by his #2 tips :P (read the sentence again very carefully) ;)

Anyway...

Happy WEBLOG 2007 ^^

The Last Word - Gold Edition Has Arrived !

Aditya Mukherjee, a very talented blogger in both design and scripting, has released another edition to his blog layout !

A really beautiful one ! All of the graphics are hand-made by himself ! Oh man, you see, he was one of my blogging hero :) The one who guided, and patiently teach me on layouting etc. so i can make my own design too.

Last Word, load up, much much faster now :) and i'm glad that he's using Dan's CodeHiglihter now, that is much lightweighted ;)

But still, i hate the script.aculo.us :P i prefer mootools instead ;)

And i said, he's a genius scripter too, one of the great assets to blogger, he releases brilliant hacks, you can find those hacks on his right sidebar ;)

Great one, man ^^

Oh, and a note, the "topright-back" are a little bit off ;) on 1280x1024 :P

2000 Bloggers - Are You One ?

[Update 2007-02-07]: Sellsius made a good post in defense of the 2000 bloggers ^^

[Update 2007-02-06]: This Project was now closed ! Due to the protest of some blogger, and Technorati listened to them.

Well, i dont really know about this thing, mentioned as some kinda of damaging, or that kinda thing, Dr. Tony Hung, got some good summary about this.

Lastly, those who are in the Project, let this be some nice memories :)

_____________________________________________________________________

Tino Buntic from Trade Pals, coined the idea for Project 2000 Bloggers.

There are dozens of social networks that bring the blogosphere together, with Technorati and MyBlogLog being two of the biggest. I wanted to bring a whole bunch of bloggers together on one page. 2000 bloggers to be exact!

In only just about 2 weeks, there have been around 1k ++ bloggers that joined this project, including me ;) (can spot mine ?)

The response to this was quite amazing to watch :) And Tino is surely workin hard on addin the bloggers ;) mine got up there real quick ;)

This project is on Digg too ;)

Some bloggers, even go into creating the badges like you see above :)

Others are experimenting with this project as a social experiment.

Also read the interesting interview that Li Evans conduct with Tino himself ;)

So nonetheles, this project is a great and original idea, simply simple ;)

So, i hope everybody who read this can join the project too ;)



See ya there ^^

Yahoo! - MyBlogLog is OFFICIAL

For those of you, who are a big fan, and a loyal one to MBL (like me) ;) MBL is MyBlogLog incase you didn't know, i've covered it sometime ago, and made a little guide myself :P

There's a great news !

And hereby i wanna congratz to Eric and the guyz at MBL :)

The Jig is Up -- MyBlogLog joins Yahoo!

MyBlogLog is becoming a part of Yahoo! We're all moving to San Francisco.

Yahoo! is going to put loads of resources into MyBlogLog and help us roll out a ton of new features. Plus, we're moving to their infrastructure, which should help with those occasional slowdowns.

Made you smile when reading it eh ;)

And according to Om Malik which had a dinner with Scott Rafer, chairman of Orlando, Florida-based MyBlogLog, the news is true ;) Yahoo buys MyBlogLog… for real!

So, let MBL become more and more powerfull ^^

CONGRATZ again ^^

The COMPLETE Guide to MyBlogLog(ging)

I've introduced MyBlogLog before as a great service to make friends with readers ;)

MyBlogLog, now is growing real big ! Many users are interested on joining MyBlogLog, some of it, i'm sure .. uhm .. well kinda sure :P they are just goin with the flow, they saw it there, they've been told bout it, so they signed up.

But what happens after that ? Some is enjoying it, some join their friends community, and some HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO ?!

I think for the last "some", that some become the HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO ?! some, because there's some lack in HOWTO use MyBlogLog, IMHO atleast ;)

Sure they've provided Help, and Blog for MyBlogLog, but that just it, just plain old introduction, upgrading to pro's account, about MyBlogLog, where to report if you found bugs, but NONE of it tells us, what to do with MyBlogLog (pardon me for sayin this Eric :P)

So, then hereby, i'll try to cover some guide on "What You Can Do with MyBlogLog" a.k.a "The COMPLETE Guide to MyBlogLog(ging)" ... boy, doesn't that sounds good ;P

Well, here after you signed up, then just log in, and you will see this one :

Your Profile Page !

First thing FIRST ! Please edit your profile, at least put up some picture for your avatar ;) And if you have a blog then ADD IT ! Just click those 2 green buttons ;) Now, if you visit OTHER PEOPLE'S profile, THIS IS THE PLACE where you can ADD THEM AS YOUR CONTACT ;) Secondly, if there's someone visiting your profile, you'll see their picture/avatar here, so maybe you can say hello to them, or if you're lucky you probably will find your soulmate :P (hm... this is OOT :P) Third, if you have joined some community, then other people join the same community as you are, they will appear here, so this is your chance on gettin' know people with same interest as you are (at least so, coz they joined the same community as you are right ?) Fourth, is someone has added you as a contact, then they will appear here, so you can keep track who fell in love with you ;) If you are on other people's profile page, than you can drop them some messages here ;) Fifth, this is where all other people leaves messages for you ;) you can manage the messages here ;) And lastly, this is where you might find lotsa interesting things ;) this shows the HOT in your communities ;) the reason for you to join one ;)

Find Your Interest, Join A Community
MyBlogLog Community offers lotsa great one ;) you can find a new one here, share common interest, leave message to the author, make new friends ;)

1. First, check out the new HOT one here ;) community that got here, if i'm not mistaken, is the one who get people to join up, and they drew lotsa people on one day, so that's made em HOT ;)
2. Second, this is one thing i like the most, these are the new baby born in MyBlogLog ;) new community :) i found lots of interesting one every day ;)
3. Third, if you don't like the same old HOT communities, then you might wanna see the TOP 50 one ;) But as a note here to Mr. Eric, i think the algorithm is kinda messed up ? The tag cloud didn't shows the correct one, i mean if it was TAG CLOUD, then the most to be considered TOP has to be the one is BIG FONTS right ;) but it does not behave like that lately ;)
4. Fourth, if you are so bored in office, or dont have thing to do, why dontcha browse all the communities in alphabetical order :P you might find a pearl inside it ;)

Meet People, Be Friends
MyBlogLog have great number of members up till now :) This is where you'll meet new friends, even get to know your favourite blog author you often visit ;)



Well the members area, are pretty much the same as with the community ;)

1. First, I think this is the HOTTEST member right now (dunno how to get there :P)
2. Second, This are also the lists of Hot Members ! (again .. no clue on how to get there :P)
3. Third, this is our new friends here :) there's a link if you wanna see more new members ;)
4. The fourth and the fifth are pretty much the same as above ;)

Still wanna some tips ? Try click-ing the MyBlogLog logo on the top left and you will see the front page of MyBlogLog.

What to do on the Front Page ?

1. Go Back to your profile page ;P
2. Browse other 'recently' RANDOM 'hot' community ;) as you see, mine got there once :P (couldn't resist to capture the screen :P)
3. This is the people that 'hit' the Front Page, as well as you too, so might wanna check 'em up, or skip 'em
4. Get the recent reader widget to put on your blog/web page, the look of the widget will mostly like what you saw here

Pheeew.. that's all about it boyz and gurlz :) hmm.. well .. okay .. maybe it's not that COMPLETE :P but at least i hope new members can learn this MyBlogLog much quicker ;)

So then, new readers, let's meet at MyBlogLog ;)
