Naming Your Blog is a Very Important First Step in the Blog Creation Process
Blogs are currently all the rage in the internet marketing world. They have seen a rise in popularity so sudden and forceful that even brand names companies are getting in on the action. Movie stars, writers, television producers, and a myriad of highly respected individuals are using blogs as part of their every day lives. Starting a blog may seem like a daunting task for someone who doesn’t know much about them, but they’re really not that hard to setup. WordPress blogs in particular are very user-friendly, and the WordPress CMS (content management system) makes the process even more simple. The very first thing you want to do before you setup your WordPress blog is come up with a name for it.
Naming your blog is a very important first step in the blog creation process. If your blog is going to be about a particular niche or subject, then your name should be based on that. For example, if I wanted to start a blog that promoted fishing hooks, I would come up with a catchy title such as ‘Fishing Hooks: Necessary or Unnecessary?’, and then design my content around that phrase. You’ll also need to choose a website address. If you’re signing up for a free blog on Word press, then the title will be something like ‘fishing hooks word press’. If you’re using the WordPress software for your own website, then you’ll have to check for the available domains and use something that you think is fitting to your niche.
After you’ve come up with a name, you’ll need to pick a template (called a ‘theme’ in the WordPress blogs universe) for your blog. WordPress has many free and professional-looking templates for you to choose from from it’s main website. If you’re looking for something more original though, for more details visit to www.your-own-blog.com or a template that no one’s used before, looking for a designer who develops templates or a website that sells pre-made templates to budding bloggers would be your best bet. Once you have the code for your template implemented and setup, you’ll then need to configure the necessary widgets that you want displayed on your blog.
Widgets are a big feature of the WordPress CMS that allow you to do stuff like add different pages (e.g. Home, About, Contact, etc.), or content to your blog. Some of the content widgets include del.icio.us, Flickr, and Meebo, among other things. You can also add a calendar, links, a search feature, or an RSS feed button to your blog. Utilizing these widgets on your WordPress blogs will give them a slight step up from other barren, mundane blogs out there. People like to be able to mess around with the content and features of the blogs they visit, and yours will not be an exception to that rule. If you want to know how to start a blog, for more details visit to www.blog-and-ping.com keeping your potential visitors in mind at all times is something that you should start doing immediately.
These are pretty much the main things that you have to do to start posting on your WordPress blogs, and start making money (if that’s your goal). Most people think that creating the content for their blog is the first step, but as I’ve shown in this article, there’s a lot of pre-foundational work that has to be done before you can get your blog out into the world. From naming your blog, to choosing how it will look, to choosing what kind of interactive features you want on it, it all goes towards teaching you how to start a blog. If you want to start learning more about WordPress blogs, then you’ve already taken a step in the right direction by reading this article.

Imemories White Paper Part -i
One of the hottest trends in social media today is online home videos, which often involve an extra step up front to first transform the older physical media (reels and tapes) to digital format before posting and sharing online. In order to understand both the scope and future directions of this trend, it is helpful to define the term “social media.”
As explained on www.wikipedia.com, social media are the online tools and platforms that people use to share opinions, insights, experiences, and perspectives with each other. Social media can take many forms, including text, images, audio and video. Examples include blogs, message boards, podcasts, wikis, and vlogs (video logs).
As testament to the popularity of social media, Time magazine designated “You” in their Dec. 25th, 2006 issue as their Person of the Year, noting that “the new Web is a very different thing. It’s a tool for bringing together the small contributions of millions of people and making them matter. Silicon Valley consultants call it Web 2.0, as if it were a new version of some old software. But it’s really a revolution.” The Internet has become a tool that facilitates the contributions of millions of individuals in a way never before seen.
Several Elements Converging
How did this occur? Several technological, economic and cultural developments have converged to create this phenomenon. First, there was the availability of inexpensive broadband capability to individual homes, a veritable “last mile” of Internet highway to facilitate digital video with the appropriate fidelity and resolution. Instead of 15 frames per second, the new cost-effective broadband now permits the broadcast television standard, 30 frames per second.
Second, computers continue to become faster and cheaper, with high performance processors that facilitate online video. Older computers in contrast struggled to keep up.
And third, the audience has increased both in their Internet savviness and age range, with users now including anyone from pre-teens to seniors.
Popularity with Teenagers
Journalists are divided on their opinions regarding the worth of such social media, but they do agree that it enables mass consumers to claim their 15 minutes of fame. As Gary Nelson of the Arizona Republic described it, YouTube, for example, is one of the sites “devoted to the postmodern world’s insatiable narcissism. MySpace.com is an online temple of self-adulation, a bottomless well of hopelessly average people desperately seeking attention, deluding themselves into the idea that having a Web profile somehow equates to genuine accomplishment.” [Arizona Republic, Dec, 2006]. As the Time article pointed out, “Web 2.0 harnesses the stupidity of crowds as well as its wisdom.”
Statistically, the majority of users of mass social sites are younger and often seeking their 15 minutes of fame. They represent the so-called Generations X, Y, and the Millenniums. A Parks Associates study on the digital media activities of Internet users ages 13 and over, for example, shows that approximately 1 in 3 (33%) play online video games and watch online videos (31%), while 1 in 4 (25%) use a social networking website and upload digital photos to websites (23%). [“Digital Media Habits,” Parks Associates, Q3/2006].
Lack of Filters Levels the Playing Field
For the first time, the lack of “editorial” filters has leveled the playing ground so that anyone who has a digital camera or cell phone camera and access to the Internet can participate. PR guru Richard Edelman noted in his blog on Dec. 8, 2006 (http://edelman.com/speak_up/blog/ ) that the older, more traditional form of media was the “top down model of communications, where the news agenda was determined by elite media (the TV network news, the top newspapers, newsmagazines, and business magazines). It [was] a one way flow of information, from the top of the pyramid of influence down to the mass audience….” Today, however, anyone can be the first to “break” the news, and on a global scale. Connecting with others and generating content on one’s own have clearly become easier.
Older, Mature Users Have Different Needs
It is tempting to categorize all social media video into the same niche as well-known sites such as YouTube, Grouper, or Jumpcut. But there are very clear and distinct differentiators between the users of these sites and those who seek private sharing of home videos online. In contrast to the YouTube audience, which is made up of teens and twenty-somethings, there is another group of older yet still Internet-savvy users who are motivated by completely different goals.
These Baby Boomers seek a digital environment in which they can share old home movies with a secure, private, and most important, self-filtered network of family and friends. They want to convert and post longer-form videos that were originally captured in older “physical” media such as 8mm and16mm films and VHS tapes.
The subject matter of these old reels and tapes, particularly the films from the 1930s – 1970s (videotape became popular in the 1980s), is most often of sentimental moments: a birthday, an anniversary, a family gathering, or a special trip. During those years, the cost of film materials was prohibitive, thus videographers had to choose very carefully which moments to film. Their motivation was primarily to record for posterity, as opposed to pure narcissism. Similarly, when it comes to digitally mastering and posting these older home movies online, videographers want to share them privately with family and friends as a testament to the enduring family legacy.
iMemories Customers Are Microcosm of this New Market
The feedback from iMemories’ customers reflects this focus on sentiment and posterity. Many customers found themselves with old reels of 8mm or 16mm film taken by their parents in the 1930s and 40s, and no projector on which to view the footage in the 21st century. Many of the old reels weren’t even labeled, so customers had no clue as to what treasures might reside within the frames.
Stumped by the problem of getting the movies into a format that could be viewed easily by family members spread across the country, they put off the task and filed the reels away in boxes in basements, attics, closets and garages. It would often take a precipitating event, such as a reunion, relocation, or illness in the family, to spur them to look further for a solution like iMemories. Suddenly, it became important to find a way to digitally master their old physical media into a form that would halt further degradation as well as promote widespread sharing.
Mark D., for example, became the administrator for a relative’s estate, and discovered many reels of 60-year-old home movies that he never knew existed. He came to iMemories to have the reels transferred to DVD so that he could both share and preserve family history that he thought had been lost forever. “My children and I were excited to view family gatherings and the good times that our relatives experienced before we were even born.”
For Marge R., the illness of her father was a wakeup call to find a solution. She happened to attend an event near the iMemories headquarters, and found her solution that way. Her goal was to convert old family movies into a format that her entire family could watch. She had initial fears that the old 8mm film might have been damaged to the extent that a final transfer wasn’t possible, but with sophisticated equipment and specialized software, the miracle of digital is undeniable. And unlike the videos posted on popular sites like YouTube, the home movies converted to digital format are meant to last another 100-200 years.
Jay M., another customer, had several old 16mm film of high school sports from the 1970s in his possession. Jay was motivated to get the conversion completed in time for a reunion of his high school buddies, and used iMemories’ services. “The last time I had viewed the footage was in 1971,” says Jay. “I found it fun to view it again in 2006. Back in the 70s, we had prided ourselves on being so athletic. Looking back now, however, sometimes we looked like pro’s and sometimes we looked like a Pop Warner team.”
It is the passing of time that motivates home movie users, who appreciate the value of these extraordinary moments more as they grow older. They want to capture the images and preserve them in a format that halts further degradation. And they want to ensure that future generations within their family as well have access to these memories as part of their heritage. The sense of their own mortality is heightened by the existence of older home movies with images of older relatives, many of whom are now long gone.
The next generation or iteration of online video is consequently expanding from a preoccupation with the comparatively frivolous and transient content of younger users to encompass the more enduring content of the older users. In other words, as older users become more comfortable with the Internet model and take the reins of online videos from their younger counterparts, the scope and dignity of the Web content are being re-asserted. While perhaps a less-flashy version of the popular social sites, online home videos nonetheless promise to bring the respectability and wisdom that are too often lacking in the younger generations’ rush to their 15 minutes of fame.
Future Trends in Online Home Video
Given how rapidly home movie editing and sharing online has exploded in growth in 2006 within the larger context of social media, what more can we expect technologically, economically, and culturally in the next few years?
We know that consumer electronics typically draft behind the entertainment business, as movie studios go digital and companies build rich experiences for the home theaters, the distribution channels become more ubiquitous. Families can view videos anywhere now. And with new developments such as Apple’s iPhone, multiple technological devices are consolidating into one portable device. Pretty soon, every home will be down to just a few simple devices: a handheld for every individual family member for its portability; a high definition TV/DVD player for its clarity, and a PC or Mac for its powerful processing. Next generation gaming devices will also continue to contribute to the market for high end audio and visual quality.
The comfort level with using video to record a moment has increased dramatically. It is interesting to consider what the outcome would have been had the JFK assassination occurred in this age of consumer-generated content, rather than in 1963. It has taken experts years to piece together from different photos and film taken what actually happened in Dallas, Texas. In the technological transition from physical film to digital cameras in the 90s however, there has been a corresponding social effect on picture-taking. Today, there is almost nothing that occurs in the world that isn’t caught on camera from every angle, and subsequently uploaded to the Internet and shared.
Technology has also created an environment where people regardless of their generation connect more frequently with each other, and in a multitude of ways that are all designed to be instantaneous and cost-effective – instant messaging, text, e-mail, cell phone. The addition of video makes the communication that much more powerful – a picture says a thousand words. iMemories will facilitate that trend to an audience who wants it to be fast and easy to connect with others by sharing home movies.
Conclusion
Social media, by which people share their insights, experiences and perspectives with each other over the Internet, has exploded and is represented by the growth of online video sites as YouTube and myspace.com. An important market within this category is home movie archiving and sharing online. While benefiting from the same technological advances that helped companies like YouTube grow, online home movies have a different purpose, and are designed to last for the next 100 years, not the next 15 minutes. Their content is meant to be more enduring. Consumers want their content on DVD as well as on online, so that it is not only preserved, but able to be shared at home on their TVs in the highest fidelity format. Future generations will rejoice that there is so much information documented in digital format for generations to come.

Are Media Wisely Running Away From Bogus Rush ‘Phony Soldiers’ Story?
Are Media Wisely Running Away From Bogus Rush ‘Phony Soldiers’ Story?
On Monday, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) stepped onto the floor of the Senate and strongly denounced talk radio host Rush Limbaugh for what have proven to be out of context statements made by the conservative personality on his program last Wednesday.
Yet, with the exception of a CNN segment aired Monday, and articles by Fox News, USA Today’s On Politics blog, The Hill, NewsMax, and the New York Post, virtually no major media outlets covered Reid’s statements.
Not the New York Times. Not the Washington Post. Ditto all three broadcast network evening news programs Monday, and the Associated Press.
This raises an important question:
Advertisement
Have most major press outlets correctly concluded that the leftwing organization Media Matters did indeed cherry-pick and misrepresent Limbaugh’s statements thereby making earlier reports on the subject erroneous?
Or, did they recognize how hypocritical it would be to castigate Limbaugh for basically reiterating what ABC’s Brian Ross and Charles Gibson reported last Monday evening just two days before Rush made his statements?
Of course, a more cynical view would be that the media – now that it has been shown that Democrat presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton admitted her connection to Media Matters – want to bury this story as quickly as possible so as to shelter her and her husband from any scrutiny concerning these ties.
Regardless of the reason, there’s been a peculiar silence regarding Reid’s statements Monday, and, although the leftwing organization VoteVets.org is about to run a rather disgraceful ad denouncing Limbaugh, most media outlets appear to be running away from this story as fast as they can.
Whether this continues is anyone’s guess, as is the cause.
Stay tuned.
Update 17:10 | Matthew Sheffield. A quick Google News search does seem to suggest the media’s interest in the Media Matters smear story has continued to peter out.
There are very few MSM mentions of the story at all. The only unfair ones were as follows:
•A blog post from NBC’s Mark Silva which mentions a left-wing astroturf group’s ad trying to prolong the story. No mention at all about how Limbaugh did not say what was attributed to him by a far-left group.
•This blog post from the Tribune Co.’s Washington bureau focuses on Nevada Democratic senator Harry Reid’s criticism of Limbaugh with barely anything from the radio talker himself.
Kudos to the Kansas City Star for correcting its initial report about the Limbaugh non-story. In a small item in today’s gossipy "The Buzz" column, the paper’s Darryl Levings spoke of a "Judgment wrong to Rush (read backward)."
Democrats, meanwhile must be getting desperate on this. Having failed to gin up a controversy over nothing, they’re clearly overreaching, going so far as to trot out Iowa senator Tom Harkin as their attack dog. That’s odd since Harkin actually has a record of his own at being a "phony soldier."
Their wisdom in burying the story is that they do not want to give attention to one they so disagree with.

Be a Magpie with Twitter
We’ve been doing a test with a new website called Be a Magpie (www.be-a-magpie.com). It’s a Berlin based company that’s an ad network for Twitter. They make those that want to serve ads in their tweets with advertisers.
The cool thing as an advertiser is that you can build your campaign around keywords that are found in Twitter profiles. In the couple tests I’ve done, we’ve gotten pretty good click-through rates. The ad we ran was designed to get followers to visit our blog at www.clickforclients.com/blog.
My concern is that its a bit spammy, but it’s up to the reader to decide to take action or not. While the traffic generated was good, I wonder if Twitter will allow this kind of service in the long run. Right now, Twitter is a bit like the Wild West.
