				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The problem with blogging – failure is hardly accepted</span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It has often been seen that most of the bloggers fail to achieve what they always wanted to, in the coming months. They all keep their contents better, striking and effective although they fail to succeed and make money from their blogs. If you belong to the same category then you must explore the authentic reasons behind the failure. Today, blogs have evolved as a major and most popular tool of marketing and promotion for any sort of business. There are certain specifications, optimization tools and some other strategies that promise to be very useful. Many a people are earning their livelihood from blogging as they have greatly considered it as the full time business or occupation. The nasty shock of blogging failure hardly needs your sobs rather it becomes essential to improve your marketing strategy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-10144" title="fail-blogger" src="http://www.tech-mania.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/fail-blogger-250x246.jpg?f71a19" alt="fail-blogger" width="250" height="246" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Latest popularity of blogging</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Every type of business, industry and enterprise is turning towards the blogging sector, in order to attract web traffic, build the loyalty and brand value. Obviously, money making is the top objective of bloggers but what they need to do with their blogs is to keep them up to date with quality content. Your business needs marketing, valued promotion and people should be well aware of your offers. After deciding the blogging niche or area, you are supposed to find out the target audience. It becomes rather more optimistic to get under the right frame.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Top 5 Reasons Why Bloggers Commonly Fail ?</span></h3>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;">You should always start with a single blogging site rather than choosing to run many parallel blogs. The bloggers needs to spend his or her quality time with a single blog. Your dedication and time should not get distributed on many topics.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The bloggers are supposed to opt for the perfect and most effective monetizing means. Placement of the ads with poor conversion rates only can fill out the blog space. It will not fetch you investment amount.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Rather than concentrating on the optimization techniques, you should think about the quality of business articles. The online visitors need authentic and comprehensive contents in detail and your blog should definitely provide the same.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Many blog owners choose the wrong field or area to design their blogs. They waste their money and precious time for designing blogs that are not considered better for the time being. Get on with your interest and the level of competition in the specific blog niche.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The consumers and online visitors will not like to read innocent articles that have large number of mistakes. Your blog should have the quality and attracting agent. First of all, you will see the increase in web traffic and thereafter, you will find the money inflow! Regular and latest updates to your blog will work wonders for your blog.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Summary: -</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Bloggers fail in the present scenario because they fail to compete with the latest trends. It is not only about the right approach and optimization strategies but a blog owner should provide useful information. Maintain the content quality and you will earn a lot!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">SEO can be daunting task at the first glance. Optimizing each page for proper <em>On-Site SEO</em> is indeed very important. Luckily, we are blessed with powerful CMS like WordPress which coupled along with some SEO plugins make this tedious job a breeze even for starters who have no coding experience.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9271" title="Best-Wordpress-SEO-Plugins" src="http://www.tech-mania.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Best-Wordpress-SEO-Plugins-250x176.jpg?f71a19" alt="" width="250" height="176" /></p>
<h3>In addition to All in one SEO plugin, RobotsMeta, following are the most powerful SEO Plugins for WordPress which are recommended for your WordPress blog:</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1<strong>. <a href="http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/headspace2/">Headspace2 SEO</a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I used to be a fan of All in One SEO from the very beginning until I found this plugin i.e. Headspace2 SEO. Headspace2 SEO in my opinion is the most powerful SEO plugin offering a plethora of features right from managing your meta title, description to setting your tags and categories to nofollow or dofollow to blocking meta robots from tracking a particular category, section or URL from indexing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>2. <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/">Google XML Sitemaps</a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This plugin helps generating a XML sitemap for search engines such as Google, Yahoo and others which helps in better and quicker crawling of the posts on your blog. Just activate the plugin and thats it. No other settings needed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>3. <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seo-automatic-links/">SEO Smart Links</a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">SEO Smart Links allowing you to improve your blog&#8217;s inner linking structure by linking your keywords automatically across posts, categories, pages and tags. It also allows you to nofollow external URLs. Needless to say interlinking of posts is really important for SEO point of view so this plugin comes across very useful for this purpose without having to perform the manual work.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>4. <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seo-image/">SEO Friendly Images</a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Images nowadays form a vital part of your SEO strategy so its important that your images are optimised properly. SEO Friendly Images ensures that each of your image has proper title and alt text which helps in getting additional traffic especially from Google Images.. For example, if I write a post about <strong>How to Make a Conference Call</strong>, a proper alt text for the image can be &#8220;<a href="http://www.conferencecalls.co.uk/">conference call</a>&#8221; or &#8220;make conference call&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>5. <a href="http://www.seopressor.com/">SEO Pressor</a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is important to note that onpage SEO includes things other than meta title and description. A SEO optimised post should essential have 1-3% keyword density along with h1 tags and your targetted keyword in bold, italics and underlined along with interlinking of posts. While writing articles for your blog, we may tend to overlook these minor yet very important things. SEO Pressor gives a percentage score and tells whether your post is optimised or not. In case your score falls less than 70-80 percent, you know you have some changes to make.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Are there any more SEO plugins which you want to add in the above list or replace it with? Feel free to express your views below.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Those who have used Google+ know that Google+ has a very clean and elegant interface with only 3 colors in its design. If you are a fan of Google+ design then there is a good news for you. My friend Mayur Somani has released a WordPress theme  named PlusOne which imitates Google Plus design and layout and that too for free.PlusOne is a WordPress theme that looks exactly like Google+ interface.You can view the demo <a href="http://www.agentwordpress.com/lab/">here</a> or download the theme for free from <a href="http://www.hacktrix.com/external/download-plusone-theme/ ">here</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7863" title="plustheme-wordpress-theme" src="http://www.tech-mania.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/plustheme-wordpress-theme-250x171.png?f71a19" alt="" width="250" height="171" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Using PlusOne WordPress Theme: To show the thumbnails on the theme, download and install get the image plugin, and set the default thumbnail size in WordPress to 100px by 100px. You can do this in media settings (Settings &gt; Media).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7864" title="plusone-theme-thumbnails-settings" src="http://www.tech-mania.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/plusone-theme-thumbnails-settings-250x89.png?f71a19" alt="" width="250" height="89" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Only request from the developer is not to remove the footer links if you need support and further development on this theme. This is Version 1.0 of the PlusOne theme. In future versions, you can expect features like custom nav menu support, color selectors, options page and much more. Mayur quotes future development depends upon the feedback got from Version 1.0. So, please post a comment below if you find any bugs or if you have any suggestions.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">I was going to do a post when I on top that a notification of updating to WordPress 3.1.1 is displayed.Ryan Boren over at WordPress News just announced the release of WordPress 3.1.1. This maintenance and security release fixes almost thirty issues in 3.1, including:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7278" title="wp-3.1.1-udpate" src="http://www.tech-mania.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/wp-3.1.1-udpate-300x26.jpg?f71a19" alt="" width="300" height="26" /></p>
<ul>
<li>Some security hardening to media uploads</li>
<li>Performance improvements</li>
<li>Fixes for IIS6 support</li>
<li>Fixes for taxonomy and PATHINFO (/index.php/) permalinks</li>
<li>Fixes for various query and taxonomy edge cases that caused some plugin compatibility issues</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There were three specific security issues that were fixed thanks to the Word Press core developers. The first hardens CSRF prevention in the media uploader. The second avoids a PHP crash in certain environments when handling devilishly devised links in comments, and the third addresses an XSS flaw.So go ahead and update if you are interested to so. Update your plug ins which are compatible to the latest version</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The ongoing popularity of WordPress shows that its use is no more limited to power blogs. For web designers it has become the CMS of choice. Designers prefer WordPress because its flexibility gives them freedom to experiment with new styles and techniques without any limitation.</p>
<div id="attachment_6948" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 374px"><a href="http://www.bitstudios.com/"><img class="size-full wp-image-6948 " src="http://www.tech-mania.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/wordpress_plugins.jpg?f71a19" alt="wordpress_plugins" width="364" height="278" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">wordpress_plugins</p></div>
<p>Especially if someone is designing a blog, WordPress is the best blogging tool. It is absolutely convenient to set up and the interface is also quite easy to use. If you want to add new features to a blog there are numerous Plugins to download.</p>
<p>If you are just getting started with WordPress, chances are there that you will get confused. With tons of Plugins, you may find it hard to understand which one to start with. This is because you may not be aware of the usability and purpose of all the Plugins.</p>
<p><strong>Here is a list of WordPress Plugins that would help you to take web design to the next level. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Adsense-Deluxe:</strong> You can use Google AdSense as part of your template or in your posts. Adding this Plugin will make sure that more than 3 ads are not displayed on a page at a time.<br />
<strong>Gravatar:</strong> This is a great service and you should sign up for it. Gravatar shows the custom icons linked with the email addresses of users who post comment on your entries.</p>
<p><strong>Google Sitemaps:</strong> This is again a great Plugin. It facilitates creating a Google compliant sitemap of your site. It also helps to keep your website as up-to-date in Google’s indexes.<br />
<strong>Head META Description:</strong> Many search engines show the Description Meta Data for a web page in the search results. But WordPress usually uses the same Meta Data for all your the pages of your site. This can be a little problematic. Head META Description Plugin can help you to solve this problem by building a dynamic Description Meta tag for individual entries. This will be created on the basis of the page content.<br />
<strong>WP-Amazon:</strong> If you’re an Amazon affiliate, this is a great Plugin for you as WP-Amazon allows searching and including items from Amazon to the posts. It is also a great way to add some extra images to your blog entries.</p>
<p><strong>Related Posts:</strong> This is a very useful Plugin that displays a list of related posts based on keyword matches. It will encourage your visitors to read more on your blog.<br />
<strong>WP-ContactForm</strong>: This Plugin helps you to create a drop in form for your users so that they can contact you. You can implement it either on a page or a post.</p>
<p>In short these WordPress Plugins can have a great contribution in your effort to take web design to the next level. So take advantage of these features to facilitate your web design project.</p>
<p><strong>Anton Entin is a <a href="http://www.bitstudios.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Chicago web design</strong></a> expert who recommends you to visit <a href="http://www.bitstudios.com/" target="_blank"><strong>www.bitstudios.com</strong></a> for more on web design and web related services. </strong></p>
