If you work as an assistant, journalist or employment then you could get inspired by the situation in your office.

10 Reason Why People Will Not Leave Comment
Wednesday, November 26, 2008
You have been blogging all this time but no one seems to leave comment to your post, They might be interested to leave comment but there is several reason why they wont leave it
1. They are Anonymous
Most people who come and visit your blog has no identity, meaning they came as Anonymous user. Or if they have it, they are just feel lazy to sign in and leave comment
2. Your Post is not Original
Some people will feel minded if you steal an article from other people post. If you really want to make them commenting then write down your own opinion and leave backlink to where you get that post. Don ever claim that as your own work even though your intention is to share it to other people
3. Your Post contain Link and Picture only
This is the most reliable reason why people will not interested to leave comment. If your post just went blank meaning no text, no description, and content only then what to commented? They just don know what to say about your post. And the only thing they would like to comment was probably to say "Thanks" or "Much appreciated" and many other single line word.
4. Your Layout are Awful
If you did happen to have bad layout in your blog then people will lazy to read the whole articles. So please before you decide to apply new skin or templates, make sure you do preview it.
5. You are Not Promoting Your Site
If you just sit there and do nothing to promote your site then how people will find your site?! It doesn't matter whether Google will help you to find new reader everytime they search stuff that relates to your blog. If you have a thought like this then your blog could takes more long enough to get more comment. So do Something!
6. Single Line Post
If you did happen to create this post then its obvious no matter how much traffic your site has, they will less likely to leave comment. The best solution for this is to leave Video and Image inside of your post.
7. Your Site Never Been Updated For an Ages
Giving an updates is a must. If your latest post is more than 2 month then your best commenter who did always commenting will soon leaving your site because they feel there is nothing to see on your site.
8. English please!
English is the most common and worldwide language so if you want to get more comment from your reader then use English. If you can't write in english then join an English class or find someone who can help you.
9. Your Post Has so Many Picture
Not all people will have better connection speed in viewing numerous picture in your post. Posting so many picture could also confusing them from finding the meaning of your post. Unless you want to create a tutorial post then its fine but try to reduce the dimension of image size
10. You are a Badass!
You have bad reputation as commenter and people recognize you from your post, Its probably because you are a spammer. My suggestion is, if you really have nothing to say then don't leave comment. The more you act like this the more they will dislike your blog. So please behave on yourself
Another common reason is
- Comment function is turned off
- Site went down/off

Google Finally Released Their Official SEO guide
Google, the best Search Engine on earth has released their SEO guides on 12 November 2008. There aren't much pages only 22 pages in total.
Here's my Review
There is nothing really new about this article, its just talking about how to improving the structure of your URL, putting META description, how to make your site easy to navigate (which i'm sure most of you have aware already), Giving good practices for site navigation and content as well but all of these are common sense i think. They have also giving explanation more details on how to write anchor text properly and to use Heading tags.
What i don know about this Article
Surprisingly i have never know how to be aware of putting the nofollow tags in your link as it may not be allowed by Google because they simply wont allow you to pass your webpage reputation to others webpage that you're link into
And that's my quick preview for all of you, at least you should now have a 'picture' of what is this article wants to tell you about
Interested?! then Download this article from Megaupload or from Google itself

How to create your own Fav Icon for your Blog
Saturday, November 08, 2008
FavIcon are one of the useful thing to 'brand' your blog, it will create an image that represent your blog, let say you own a Make money Blog and you're using Dollar ($$$) as your FavIcon so when people heard about your site name elsewhere, the first thing they would probably remember is your Site logo which is your FavIcon, second would be your content. And to be honest, i got these tips from BloogerBuster which is helping me a lot to creating this FavIcon however this trick wont be so useful for those who are still using IE 6.0 or any browser that doesn't have or support Tabbed browsing.
For the steps, you can simply go to BloogerBuster
Here's the steps
1. Ensure you have image file with 16 x 16 in dimension size. This should be in JPG/PNG format for use with the Favicon generator.
2. Go to your Blogger dashboard, create new post but don publish it, instead, upload your image files and copy the image source file [IMG SRC>
3. Go to your Layout, click on Edit HTML and find [/head> tags
4. Paste this code above it
[link href='http://your-icon-url.png' rel='shortcut icon'/>
[link href='http://your-icon-url.png' rel='icon'/>
5. Once you're done, save it and you are ready to see your new favicon, test it with your Firefox
For Gavicon Generator Site, you could try one of these
Or you can make it by yourself by reducing the image size into 16 x 16 and rename it as logo.ico with PNG extension.
If you found any issue, then try this code (From BloogerBuster)
[link href='http://www.blogger.com/favicon.ico' rel='icon' type='image/vnd.microsoft.icon'/>
Attention! To make the works, please replace [ with <
