Do you ever drop an F-bomb on your blog? Sometimes it’s called for, sometimes it’s just inappropriate, and for some people it’s just a natural way to express themselves. It’s for you to decide how you want to express yourself. You will probably want to decide what type of audience you want to have before you decide to drop an F-bomb on your blog. Profanity may be funny but only to certain readers. I guess it’s how you use it.

How does your daily routine start? What are the things you do when you get up? I found myself doing pretty much the same routine every morning lately. There are a few things I can’t start the day without. As a blogger who has a full time job, I try to be as efficient as possible.
My day starts with a breakfast (doh!), nice cup of tea and some bread with Nutella. I eat Nutella every morning. It’s the only thing I can eat in the morning. Yes, I may be crazy.

Over time you may have left one of your blogs to die. And after some months or even years later you have decided to start blogging again. I’ve done it too. As you may know I have started this blog over a year ago, then I stopped posting for various reasons a few months later. And this year I wanted to start blogging more actively again. I had to decide whether I should start completely fresh or use my old blog. There are a few questions you’ll face when restarting an old or dead blog and I’ll try to give you a few hints.
I’m on short with time today, so instead of making a long blog post, I’ll ask you a question. But let me first answer it myself.
Why did I start blogging? My very first blog (which does not exist anymore) was about making money, because I wanted to make money online. That was over 3 years ago. I thought it’d be as easy as putting some ads on the sidebar. Pathetic, I know. I learned the truth quickly and lost interest soon.
I started this blog, because I like to share my thoughts with people that have same interests and I like to write. And making a little money while doing this is nice too, even tho’ this is not primary goal of this blog.
Why did you start blogging? I’d be interested to hear your initial motivation to start a blog.
As a blogger your goal is to be successful – to increase the number of your readers, subscribers, amount of money you make and so on. It’s only natural. Many of us start blogging about something that is our passion and we want everyone else to be as excited about it as we are. It is surprising, however, that many people have no plans regarding what they want to achieve with their blog. Sometimes it is difficult to set exact goals, but I will share with you what I have learned so far and how you can use that knowledge when starting a new blog, or restarting an old one like I did with this blog in January.
I like to keep things short and simple. So here’s the list of 7 steps to start a successful blog.
Hey, it’s Friday and it’s time for another mashup. So let’s see what interesting things did people write this week. I’ll keep it short today, because I still have the beer in my veins from celebrating my birthday.
As always, feel free to (ab)use my delicious bookmarks or my stumbles.

With all the hype about Google Buzz lately, I can’t get away without a post about it, can I? If you lived under a rock the last week, you might want to check what Google Buzz is here.
I personally don’t like Google Buzz (yet), but many people do, so I figured I’d make a post on how to install Google Buzz button on your blog. The installation is pretty simple, really.
