How To Blog Tips 1

1. We meet again. It's been a while since my maiden post was published. Promised myself to have at least 4 posts each month.

2. Reading this post topic, hehe, well, I'm also a newbie to blogging. So I'm not that authorized to post any tips about blogging right? But, since I had just started blogging, why don't share the experience of blogging? The do's and dont's of blogging.

3. After a few days since my first posting, I tried to google'd my own blog and can't find it. It get me curious since blogger.com is also one of Google affiliate so why my blog address was not there to be found?

4. So, after several clicks here and there, read a few 'hows' and 'dummies for', I managed to list my blog address so that it can be found on Google.

5. So for all blogging newbies, this is what you need to do, I"ll try to simplify it for you:
  •  Just go to http://blogsearch.google.com/ping
  • Enter your blog address
  • Click 'Submit Blog'
  • Try google your blog address again after a few minutes. I tried mine after a few hours because got some work to do after registering my blog.
6. Hopefully it'll work for you to! Happy blogging!

Good Day To Start Blogging


Well, it has been quite for some time I have been contemplating to start writing in a blog. Either to express my view on certain issue or as a recreational tool to polish my writing and language skills. Procrastination was a major problem for the delay. Probably blogging will destroy this hurdle for me to become a much more successful person. And time and situation has been the deciding factor.

15 or 20 years back, I really love to write. My late father has been an inspiration and keep pushing my brother and me to write short essay and sending it to certain student magazine. And it's been worthwhile, when seeing my own writing published and read by fellow readers. Those essays had really help me bringing my imagination into writing. 

And how the world has evolve a lot. Those days, pen and paper were my best friend. Now it's been replaced by keyboard and a screen, either during work or normal day to day . My fingers now get tired easily when ask to write using a pen - answering exam was tough - and the numbness felt afterwards. Maybe an indirect effect of too much 'sms'ing. 

However, with HIS blessing, finally today, Friday, 18th November 2011, I chose to start my own cyber-journey/cyber-journalism and join fellow bloggers. Hopefully my blog won't be a dormant blog like so many others. Choosing 'Skrol Saya' as my blog name really indicates what I want this blog to portray. It'll be like sharing stories, experiences, emotions, that has gone thru my life and jotted down in my life scroll. What I do have in my mind now, is writing about life, current issues, gold, and international relations.

Be it an inspiring entry or down right stupid, I just hope blogging will be worthwhile. Happy reading!
