Just like this post itself, if you are a blogger what you do after posting an article in your blog? Here is a list of things which I do (and will be doing after posting this one) if you also do many be prove very useful for your blog.

1. Ping
Pinging a blog link and its feed URL makes your newer post appear in many other blogs and sites which can give you some good blog visitors. I use Pingoat for this purpose. All you have to do is enter your website and feeds (optional) URL and push a button to ping to various other services.

2. Socialise
Digg it, Slashdot it, make it delicious and do as much social bookmarking as possible. It’s surely providing a good traffic, after all what’s the use of posting when no one reads it?

3. Search other blogs
Do a google search to find blogs (which allow comment) for similar article that you have just posted. Comment on other blogs and post the link to your new article (only if it’s relevant, otherwise it will look like spam). This will again give you some visitors and if not a good blog reader, you should definitely get some hits at least.

4. Look for stats (Optional)
I can sometime become excited and what to see the result of how’s my article doing right after publishing it. Look at your blog stats by using a service like Statcounter which provides instant website traffic data. You can spend hours playing with this site and cheer at your blog progress.

You have spend a lot on your system for best graphics card, more RAM and goodies but what about that monitor at which you have to constantly stare when working on computer ! A typical user today has 17inch monitor which should be ok if you don’t do multitasking. With the coming of dual core processors, people can now easily do two three works at a time on PC for e.g., I often open several applications like photoshop, calculator, and many other window to do work faster but switching to one of these window sometimes becomes a problem due to space shortage. A wide 22inch monitor can do a lot good to your working environment as it will provide enough space for multiple windows and work on each easily. LG Flatron L226WTQ-BF is one of the best available in the market today. Well how can I say that? As you already know the problem with LCD technology was the slow pixel response as compared to CRT which led to blurry images in fast moving games and movie scenes. LG Flatron 22” monitor has a Pixel response time of just 2ms as compared to 5 or even more of others. Hence images are crisp and clear. Colors are also very well reproduced in this monitor. With the price tag of just $350, this is the best buy in 22” LCD monitors range.

Technical Specifications:
• 1680 x 1050 Resolution
• 3,000:1 Contrast Ratio
• Certified for Windows Vista™
• 2ms Ultra-Fast Response Time
• FLATRON f-Engine™

I can remember those early days of my web designing when I just started experimenting on how to make websites. Those days my knowledge was limited and the most important thing I wanted to add to my site was a contact us form. At that time I was not familiar with php and cms etc. When I learned somehow about adding a simple form, I discovered that it was not working because the hosting which I was using being a free hosting was not giving sendmail facility. Few days back I came to know about JotForm which is the first online form generator site. Based on AJAX the whole website looks like a software running inside browser window! It’s slick interface enables anyone to create a custom form of any type for his/her website and even host it on its server, after the form is created, it provides the html code which can be easily added to web page using any html editor. Even advanced function like captcha, payment processor can also be added. Since the form is hosted on jotform’s own server, you can use this service for website hosted on free hosting as well. So what’s the catch? The catch is simple and necessary that they put a limit of 100 emails per month, it’s necessary because without any limit, the service is prone to get abused. Overall this service is best for personal sites or small (very small indeed) business sites. They have premium service also which does not have any limit.
