One of the emerging service providers of video clips is the http://instantvideogenerator.com. 4. Syndicate your contents. You can use the more popular RSS format.

Of course, leave a reminder, that they are free to post contrary comments as long as they do it in a polite and considerate manner. 6. What do the majority of your readers think of your blog?

If you use you use WordPress, a server-installed, open-source (free) state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability, try their email notification plug-in. This plug-in notifies your subscribers of your blog posts through email. 8. Trackback is a great blog feature, for it allows for a continuing conversation between you and bloggers of similarly themed blogs.

All of these software or plug-ins will help you illustrate your point in a fun and interesting way. But you should remember content is king on the net. These devices are not substitutes for great content, which is what really what drives traffic to your blog.

I think about some of the career paths I have walked down: I've been a musician, a pastor (who gets to get on a platform and talk to people ? getting attention ? even if I do have something selfless to say ?
