It seems that my schedule is a bit tight lately. My last update was on the 5th. I should have spent a little more time on weekends to do some scheduled posts.

Have you notice some changes made to Blogging For Novice? All these changes were made after I received a kind blog review from IGTB. (Do you still remember I mentioned about getting your blog reviewed for free?)

Here is a list of suggestion from Raivyn, author of IGTB.

• Moving the list of recent posts up above the tag cloud and perhaps even above the categories.
• The AdSense block could be designed better - matching it to the page (white background and border, blue links, grey/black text) and moving it up a bit (move tag cloud below ad block).
• Tutorials that are a little more ‘meaty’, and expand on some of what has already been presented.

I tried to improve this blog’s visibility base on the suggestion above and I think it turns out even better and more clean and neat comparing to the previous setting. (Thanks, Raivyn!) And for the content improvement part, I will have to spend more time reading and of course, to spend time writing them. As for the time constraint now, I’m unable to come up with any ‘meaty’ tutorials. [...more]

Nice slogan, eh? However, 9rules do not open for submission all the time. Hence, I call it the “Big day” for bloggers who wish to submit their blogs to the 9rules community.
