Berikut saya rekomendasikan 3 web yang menyediakan jasa encode-decode, quick escape, parse HTML, escape HTML atau apalah namanya itu yang jelas untuk memparse kode HTML agar dapat tampil pada postingan blog.
PERTAMA, Centricle.com. Anda bisa menggunakan jasa centricle untuk memparse html dan aturannya pun cukup sederhana hanya mengcopy-paste kode html yang akan di parse pada kotak yang telah disediakan kemudian klik ENCODE, maka tampilah kode HTML yang telah diparse dan siap dicopas untuk tampil pada postingan blog Anda. Atau klik DECODE untuk mengembalikan pada kode semua.

KEDUA, blogcrowds.com. Aturannya sama dengan centricle Anda cukup mempaste kode HTML pada kotak yang disediakan kemudian klik PARSE. Jika ingin lebih jelas disamping kanannya terdapat instruksi penjelasan tentang cara penggunaan tool satu itu.


KETIGA, accessify.com. Demikian pula dengan accessify yang menyediakan jasa layanan Parse HTML dan menamakannya Quick Escape. Setelah kode HTML di paste pada kotak tersedia klik Convert to Escape characters.


Demikian tiga layanan web yang bisa Anda gunakan untuk memparse kode HTML agar dapat tampil pada postingan blog.

I have just added the brians’ threaded comment plugins (formerly nested comment plugins) here in this blog. I’ve planned to upload this nice plugins long ago but still couldn’t find the right time to do so or just forgot once I connect to the internet. This plugins is nice in the sense it’ll make disscussion more lively: the third commentator, for example, who wants to comment on the first comment can just easily click the “reply this comment” in the comment #1 precisely like the way mailing list works.

Unfortunately, just like any other wordpress plugins, it can only be done in a self-hosted blog. Wordpress.com, the free blog services owned by Automattic–the wordpress blogging platform company–has yet to include it into its by-default wordpress.com build up.

If you’re interested to install this plugins, you can download it here. And from the installation manual you’d find how to easily install it. Here’s the excerpt:

Mashable has patiently collected 70 very attractive blogger.com / blogspot free templates from around the internet for you to enjoy. It also showed the screenshot of every template which will make blogger / blogspot users can easily peek trhough the ‘gallery’. Many of the templates are wordpress-like with a bit blogspot ‘feel’.

Good works and worth visiting particularly for blogger / blogspot users.

This is the advantage of blogger.com / blogspot compared to other free blog provider: you can pick any best templates available. Just in case you’re a bit confused how to change your blogger.com templates using outside designs, see here.

Edublogs.org, a free blog services using the latest wordpress blogging platform with 100,000 plus users has just announced a surprising offer: now you can put the juicy AdSense code, indeed any javascript code, into your sidebar widget. One who loves blogging, loves latest wordpress utility with its Google friendly interface, loves free blog services, and loves making money online can just put these many attributes in one words: Edublogs.org. Sign-up, and you’ll just get what you want. I’ve already had an account in edublogs.org but it’s mainly for back-up purposes. But now I may change my mind.

Actually there are already two popular free blog providers that offer javascript-enabled wordpress namely blogsome.com and blogs.ie. Unfortunately, both are never upgrading their wordpress software into the latest version which make them look very “old.”

In its official blog, Edublogs.org wrote:

After lengthy discussions and weighing up of the pros and cons we’ve decided to allow javascript, iframes and object code onto Edublogs.

This means that you can now just copy and paste pretty much most ‘embedding’ code you can pick up around the web directly into your Edublog.

How to

Just in case you are a newbie, what you need to do (after signing-up) is just to activate the sidebar widget, use the text widget and fill it up with any javascript code including AdSense, shoutbox, marquee, and anything javascript. Not only in text widget though. You can put it in the posts or Pages too. For any blogger.com / blogspot users you now have a real choice for whatever blogging purpose you have in mind.

For posts and pages just click on the ‘Code’ tab and paste the code in there. For sidebar widgets just create as many Text Boxes as you need…

Advantage Edublogs.Org

One plus point of Edublogs, among other free wordpress blog providers–even compared to wordpress.com–is its unlimited import capability. While wordpress.com limits importing file to 2GB maximum, you can import however big the file may be to edublogs.org. That’s why I encourage Indonesian bloggers to back their blog posts up to Edublogs.org for any eventualities both for free blog users or self-hosted blog.

As this manual draws to a near end, I’ll show you how to maximize and get the most out of the traffic you generate using the methods we have discussed earlier.

Establishing your own E-commerce site is not like what it used to be. There are thousands of competitors that are all too willing to get a bigger share of the pie. Every scheme and method you can find to augment your sales would be very beneficial.

We have got to admit to ourselves. Most of us are into it for the money. We are not going to waste our time and effort just for the fun of it. Many sites would not wait until hell freezes over just to see their profits. While there are some who takes things lightly there are always those who would rather see profit any given day.

It is common knowledge that without traffic we have no business. Like any business, without any customers you don’t get sales. Traffic represents all the people that get a chance to see what you have to offer. The more people who see your products the more people there would be to buy them.

Nobody puts up an E-commerce site that doesn’t expect profit. We have a startup capital that needs to be regained. With a consistent traffic flow, we at least have a fighting chance to achieve that probability. Monetizing your traffic would optimize your chances of making the best out of it.
Making Money from your Traffic

The best and most proven method of making a profit out of your traffic is using advertising. The Internet generates billions of visitor’s everyday. Most of them are searching for something. While some are just looking for information there is also a good percentage that is looking for something that they need.

The Internet has proven to be a very reliable source in finding what was deemed to be a very unsearchable product. The Internet has made the world a smaller place. You can advertise a product from the depths of Istanbul and still find a buyer from the center of Philadelphia.

Generating traffic is not an easy task. You have to contend with a great number of sites to generate a good traffic flow. But if done successfully this could open up a Pandora’s Box of possibilities. One of the benefits is monetizing your traffic flow.

So, to get to the core of it the more traffic you generate the more likely you are considered as a desirable, in a sense that a good traffic flowing site is easily convertible to profit. Basically traffic equals profit. Advertising is the name of the game. With a good advertising scheme you can use your traffic to your advantage.

When you have good traffic you have a good number of potential customers, customers that are willing to pour money into your coffers. Other than that these are also traffic that can be redirected to sponsored links that are willing to pay you for a sizeable portion of the traffic that you have generated.

This scheme is called “pay-per-click”. With every click a visitor of your site makes on an advertised link you will be paid. The more traffic you generate and the more clicks that happens would spell to more profits.
Affiliate Programs

Another great method of monetizing your traffic is with affiliate programs. You can link up with other tried and tested sites and online companies and monetize your traffic by having a percentage of sales generated by traffic coming from your site.

The basic idea is traffic generated from your site will go to another site that can offer a product that you do not carry. Many programs can keep track and make records of transactions that was made possible because of site linkage. When purchases are made by a customer that was led by your site to their site you get a percentage of that sale. Affiliate programs would give you the benefit of monetizing your traffic without the actual need of carrying or promoting your own products.

A great place to find tons of affiliate programs to promote is Clickbank. Here you will find thousands of products you can sell for a portion of the profits. The best part is, clickbank will mail you a check on the 1st and 16th like clockwork.

Collect names and email addresses I know you are probably getting tired of hearing this and quite frankly, I am getting tired of saying it. The real money is in the list! Go back and read that sentence one more time because I want to make sure it sinks in. Why do you think everyone is telling you to build a list?

If you are not building your list you are leaving gobs of money on the table. If you haven’t already done so, add an auto responder subscribe form on your web sites. If you need an auto responder I highly recommend you check out Email Aces. They are top notch and their deliverability is amazing.

I’m not going to go to in depth about list building here because to be honest, it would fill up another book altogether but, I want to give you a good place to start so you can begin to build your list right now.

I recommend that you check out Gabriel Aguinaga’s Lead Capture Page Creator software and list building manuscript. With his software and manuscript, you can put your list building into overdrive and start building your list today.

The latest estimation on the total blog population is over 30 million hosted blogs, and this is predicted to double by the end of 2005 (Source: http://www.perseus.com/blogsurvey/geyser.html).
Moblogging

A blog, a short form for weblog, is a personal journal, which can consist of text, images, and other multimedia that is frequently updated and intended for the general public or for private audiences. Bloggers are of all ages, but blogs are particularly popular amongst younger female audiences.

The motivation to blog is varied, from wishing to be in the spotlight to sharing memories with family members. Mobile Blogging, also called moblogging, is the act of posting text and photos to a weblog from a mobile device. The reading of weblogs via mobile devices is also gaining popularity.

Nokia Lifeblog
Figure 4. Nokia Lifeblog is an appealing, optimized, and usable way to post to blogs

Nokia Lifeblog’s interface enables easy set up for formatting of the posts and also remembers where to post safely, so no sending to wrong address. The content size is unlimited and the metadata can be included in the post, offering also a flexible method for adding metadata.

Nokia has been working with one of the biggest weblog providers, Six Apart, who provides the TypePad service, on the development and testing of mobile blogging from the Nokia Lifeblog. With the addition of LiveJournal to the list of Nokia Lifeblog compatible services, Nokia Lifeblog is now part of one of the largest online journal communities.
