The Fourth of July

On July 5, 2011, in Ariel Ceylan, Blogging, Guest Writers, History, Political Comments, Uncategorized, by Ariel Ceylan

The Fourth of July is America’s celebration of independence, no? I think that initially, this was the occasion for the event, however, these past few years have shown this concept not to be the case. Oftener than not, the fourth of July has turned into an excuse to have a fete. It’s an excuse to [...]

WordPress Blogging – Annoying Blank Lines In Posts Or Pages

On June 16, 2011, in Blogging, Professional Blogging, WordPress, by Wilfried F. Voss

Whenever you write a post in Visual Mode you might enter a number of blank lines by hitting the Enter key. Or sometimes you copy a text from another document or website, and then you paste, delete unwanted empty lines and save the draft. In some cases, after you saved the draft, you might get annoyed to see that the additional, unwanted empty lines re-appeared.

Geeks MIGHT NOT rule the WORLD

On June 9, 2011, in Ariel Ceylan, Blogging, Business, Entertainment, Guest Writers, by Ariel Ceylan

How many of you have heard it said that geeks will rule the world? I certainly heard this growing up. The moral of this story is to not be mean to geeks and to not take advantage of their intelligences. However, my experience with American youth is that geeks might not rule the world after all.

On June 3, 2011, in Blogging, Ronnie Massey, by Ronnie Massey

I posted an earlier on the importance of book bloggers and reader reviews. Well to do my part helping promote new authors like myself, I have added a new section to my website called, Authors To Know.

Here’s a list of traits friends who “problem-solve” have. These friends have some tendencies to not know the whole problem. Are your characters like this?

Guest blog post at Patricia's Vampire Notes

On April 6, 2011, in Blogging, Ronnie Massey, by Ronnie Massey

When I sat down and began outlining, I had a clear idea of how long I wanted it to be and where I wanted it to go. But the longer I worked on it, it became clearer that the story I wanted to tell would not be confined to thirty to fifty pages of a short. Especially after the creation of the character Lawless.

In Between Writing and Editing

On April 6, 2011, in Ariel Ceylan, Blogging, Guest Writers, Writing & Publishing, Writing Tips, by Ariel Ceylan

After spending time to write a book, one undergoes a long period of rewriting and editing. This is usually best when one does not start the editing process right after writing the piece. This is because one usually knows what one means when reading one’s own work. Of course, it is great to know what one means, however, it is another matter entirely for someone else to know what one means.

Sick And Tired Of BlueHost.Com – The Problem With Shared Server Hosting

On March 20, 2011, in Blogging, Blogging Aspects, Professional Blogging, WordPress Tips, by Wilfried F. Voss

BlueHost.Com, in their own words, is an “affordable, reliable web hosting solution.” And yes, I agree that their service is affordable. However, you get what you pay for. BlueHost.Com provides “shared server hosting,” meaning you share a server with a number of other people and businesses. Nothing wrong with that… as long as you have a small website (which FrogenYozurt.Com isn’t anymore), and you don’t share the server box with users utilizing an inordinate amount of system resources, and that’s exactly what happened to FrogenYozurt.Com.

Finding a Place to Write

On March 19, 2011, in Ariel Ceylan, Blogging, Entertainment, It's all about music..., Lifestyle, Writing & Publishing, Writing Tips, Young Adult Literature, by Ariel Ceylan

One of the challenges I find while trying to write is finding the proper location to engage in the activity. When I’m at my college, I have so many options ranging from empty classrooms to department libraries to the student union. All I have to do is find a room that no one else is [...]
