Tim's Wee Part of the World

I found this in my journeys when I was researching more on Blogging.

It’s called Blog Rush and it’s a Free program where you can register your Blog, no matter what the topic (you can select the category from a big list).

It’s based on the “you show me yours and I’ll show you mine” where you get to place a snippet of JavaScript – (See the Big Black Blogosphere Box on the Right).

This displays other registered blogs on your site and of course gets yours displayed on other peoples blogs.

Not too bad if you don’t mind doing that. It’s one way to get targeted traffic to your Blog.

Now I just have to start talking more about sensible stuff!

[UPDATE - Blog Rush is no longer with us. The site says it's been shutdown.]

Check it out for yourself. Watch the Video on Blog Rush!

Well, your first one may take a bit longer than that, but I was very impressed with this.

It’s a package called “Build Blogs Fast” and it’s based on WordPress.

It comes with some very grand instructional tutorials showing methods I’ve not seen yet. I have now, and I’ll be using them.

I’m currently going through this and I’ll be putting together a summary of the steps that are shown. Sometimes it’s a bit confusing going through a video tutorial and following the steps at the same time.

I’ll be offering this package through my website at www.LookingOverMyShoulder.com
So join my news letter from that site and once I get my little addon tutorial done, then I’ll let you know.

In the meantime I’ll be putting up a few sites as is explained and see what happens.

The internet has opened up Communication to such an extent that it’s now so easy to speak to anyone anywhere in the world that has a PC and an internet Connection.

Internet Messaging programs have been around for ages and these have let people make contacts from all over the world.

Conferencing software has also been around in some form for sometime as well. Conferencing software , like the name suggests, allows a group of people to “Meet” online just like they were all in the same room.

But to date, this kind of facility has been restrictive to the general public due to the high costs involved.

So along came a company that decided to solve that problem.

In days of old they used “another” conferencing solution to give live online training to their members. Kiosk is a web hosting company that stands out in their focus on helping and supporting everyday people who want to use the internet to generate an income.

They cater for all walks of life from those who know nothing about website building or marketing to the seasoned pros.

So with the problems and high cost of the software they were using, Joel Therien, the president of Kiosk decided they would create their own Conferencing Program.

So Hot Conference was born.

One of the main attractions of Hot Conference is the price. Along with it’s features it has become the program of choice for those wishing to be have their own Online Conference room where they can meet with others.

It’s simple for people to install and operate.

It’s Ideal for training and giving live presentations with its superb sound quality, Whiteboard and Page viewer where the presenter can bring up web pages (presentation slides, code examples…) in front of a large number of people at the same time from the comfort of their PC’s.

(To date HotConference can only be run on Windows)
