Life is too short.
grudges are waste of perfect happiness
Laugh when you can
apologize when you should
and let go of what you can't change
Love deeply and forgive quickly
take chances give everything
And have no regrets
life is too short to be unhappy
you have to take good with the bad
smile when you are sad.
Love what you got
...and always remember what you had.
always forgive, never Forget.
Learn from your mistake. but never regret.
A dear old lady was once asked what she used to make
her complexion so beautiful and her whole being so
bright and attractive.
She answered...
" I used my lips, truth
I use my voice, kindness
I use my ears, compassion
I use my hands, charity
I use for my figure, uprightness
I use my heart, love
I use for any who do not like me, prayer."

Discover each day the magnificent, awesome beauty of the world.
Explore and embrace life in yourself and in everyone you see each day.
Reach within to find your own specialness.
Amaze yourself and rouse those around you to the potential of each day.
Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect: this is the essence of humanity
Let those who love you help you.
Trust enough to be able to take.
Look with hope to the horizons of today, for today is all we truly have.
Live this day well.
Let a little sunshine out , as well as in.
Create your own rainbows.
Be open to all your possibilities, all possibilities and miracles.
Friendship gives:
Today its meaning, Tomorrow its promise ,Forever its dream.
Prosperity makes friends and adversity tries them.
There are three faithful friends:
An old wife,an old dog and ready money.
Friendship,peculiar boom of Heaven,
The noble mind's delight and pride,
To men and angles only given
To all the lower world denied.
To like and dislike the same things,
that is indeed, friendship.
Side by side or miles apart,
good friends are always
close to the heart.
When wealth is lost,nothing is lost,
when health is lost,something is lost,
when character is lost,all is lost!
Everything flows and nothing stays.
True beauty consists in purity of heart.
Never give advice unless asked.
Advice is a drug in the market,
the supply, always exceeds the demand.
If a man loves to give advice,
it is sure sign that he himself wants it.
Children are like wet cement ,
Whatever falls on them makes an impression.
Anger is short madness, So control your passion or it will control you.
Keep the eyes wide open before marriage;
and half shut afterward.
No man is hero to his own wife;
no woman is a wife to her own hero.
My luck is locked, Mind is shocked,
Way is chocked, But aim is rocked.
A clear view of WWW-290 course:
The term "blog" is a blend of the words web and log."Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Blogging:
First of all I became familiar with blog in this course it is not a scary animal anymore,It is full of fun and source of useful information. Blog is a user-generated website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order with chunk of text, images, links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. Leaving comments by readers makes the blog more interactive.
Most blogs are primarily textual although some focus on photographs(photo blog), videos(vlog), or audio (podcasting), and are part of a wider network of social media. Blogs can be hosted by dedicated blog hosting services, or they can be run using blog software, Many blog hosts are free (off course not fully featured) like "Blogger and Word Press" that made setting up a blog more easier. If you sign up with a blog host, you can create your post using the simple tools built into the host website without any technical knowledge, from any computer and internet connection. Also possible to update a blog via a regular phone, from a PDA, camera phone(case of a moblog).
"For WWW-290 course we mostly used Blogger.com for creating blog and "Feedburner.com"for creating Podcast". With new features being added all the time, Blogger is highly recommended for first-timers. By default, all Blogger blogs are hosted on "blogspot.com" Google allowed Blogger to incorporate compatibility with the photo-sharing utility Hello which lets you quickly post photos to your blog- and also manage and search through the photos on your computer. It is useful for "photo blogs".
(RSS) Really Simple Syndication (previously also called Rich Site Summary and RDF Site Summary) is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated digital content, such as blogs, news feeds or podcast. Users of RSS content use software programs called "feed reader" or "feed aggregators".The user subscribes to a feed by entering a link of the feed into the reader program. The reader can then check the user's subscribed feeds to see if any of
those feeds have new content since the last time it checked, and if so, retrieve that content and present it to the user. RSS formats are specified in XML. Also To view feeds you can sign up with a Web-based aggregator such as Bloglines or Google Reader. All you do is that create an account, log in, choose which feeds you'd like to keep track of, and the website will create a customized page for you, displaying the relevant headlines. With Bloglines you don't have to deal with any software.
There are many types of blog, and in the way content is delivered or written each are different. Some blog focus on a particular such as project blogs, political blogs fashion blogs, travel blog
blawgs(leagal), splog(spamming), Slog(website) etc. Few blog search engines are used to search blog contents(blogosphere),such as Feedster, Technorati and blogdigger. A blogroll is a collection of links to other weblogs When present, blogrolls are often found on the front page sidebar of most weblogs. Various weblog authors have different criteria for including other weblogs on their blogrolls. An entry in a blog with many entries is accessible from the site's front page for only a short time. Visitors who store the URL for a particular entry often find upon their return that the desired content has been replaced by something new but if you use Permalink it will stay for permanent. After all blog is, open to the public to view and respond to So one unfortunate consequence of blogging is the possibility of attacks or threats against the blogger.
Also used Google Analytics (GA) which is a free service offered by Google that generates detailed statistics about the visitors to a website or a blog. Its main highlight is that a webmaster can optimize their AdWords advertisement and marketing campaigns through the use of GA's analysis of where the visitors came from, how long they stayed on the blog or website and their geographical position.Most important thing is that, a webmaster can define and track conversions, or goals. Goals might include lead generation,sales, viewing a specific page, or
downloading a particular file. By using this tool, marketers can determine which ads are performing, and which are not, as well as find unexpected sources of quality visitors.
From pop-ups to banners,advertising is everywhere on the web,So we used free "Google AdSense" which is a service that provides unobtrusive advertising on your site based on the contents of each page. AdSense also provides a Google search box for your visitors,and each time it's used in combination with a follow-up click on an ad in the results you get paid.
For increasing traffic to the blog you can manually submit your blog address to the bigger search engine like www.Google.com/addurl.html
I think it is becoming too brief about blogging now so I should end here. Only thing I can say more is that keep on reading different blogs from Google reader and improve writing skills more.Learning never end.
What is Podcast?
A podcast is a digital media file, or a series of such files, that is distributed over the Internet using syndication feeds for playback on portable media players and personal computers with ".mp3", Or you can say it is a audioblog delivered using RSS(Really Simple Syndication). They have a similar format to blogs, with entries catalogued by time and date.The only difference is the presentation, which is oral as opposed to visual.The host or author of a podcast is often called a pod caster.The main advantage of Podcast over traditional online radio- which is streamed over the Internet in real time -is that they can be transferred to portable device such as MP3 player or iPod.
Though podcasters web sites may also offer direct download or streaming of their content, a podcast is distinguished from other digital media formats by its ability to be downloaded automatically, using software capable of reading feed formats such as RSS or Atom.
For course WWW-290 I used Feedburner.com for Podcast and to recording created MP3 files using Audacity. Audacity is a free/open source, cross platform digital audio editor, which has nice features like Importing and exporting MP3 ,Editing via Cut,Copy,Paste (with unlimited Undo),Multi-track mixing, Digital effects and effect plug-ins. and many more.
A Video blog, sometimes shortened to vlog, is a blog that comprises video Or you can say in the way that audio blogs focus on sound, video blogs focus on video. Regular entries are typically presented in reverse chronological order and often combine embedded video or a video link with supporting text, images, and othermetadata. Vlogs also often take advantage of web syndication to allow for the distribution of video over the Internet using either the RSS or Atom syndication formats, for automatic aggregation and playback on mobile devices and personal computers. Vlogs are generally five to ten minutes in length and feature posts like cooking lesson,videos of local festivities, short films, family events and hands-on product reviews.
Podcasting is an automatic mechanism whereby multimedia computer files are transferred from a server to a client, which pulls down XML files containing the Internet addresses of the media files. In general, these files contain audio or video, but also could be images, text, PDF, or any file type.A consumer uses a type of software known as an aggregator, sometimes called a podcatcher or podcast receiver, to subscribe to and manage their feeds.
Podcasting is becoming increasingly popular in education. Podcasts enable students and teachers to share information with anyone at anytime. An absent student can download the podcast of the recorded lesson. It can be a tool for teachers or administrators to communicate curriculum, assignments and other information with parents and the community. Teachers can record book talks, vocabulary or foreign language lessons, international pen pal letters (podcast pals!), music performance, interviews, debates. Podcasting can be a publishing tool for student oral presentations.
