APRIL FOOL?

4月

2日

Did anyone fool you yesterday? Tell me about it.

I heard on the radio yesterday that there was a foot of snow in Federal Way (Near Seattle-Tacoma Airport) and I almost believed it. Last year we had snow on April 19th. I hope I will see no more snow until later this year.

This is the picture of our office in December 22, 2008.

K9s are welcome at PSP

Here is a picture of my dog PomPom. He is a 6 year old Shih Tzu and Pomeranian mix. I bought him at Absolute Puppy on NE 8th in downtown Bellevue. I do all his glooming myself. I do not want to spend money and I do not want him at the glooming place for hours. I gloom him every 5 or 6 weeks. I gloom Tiny and Nano as well. They are Shih Tzus and I know them since they are baby.

My company allows employees to bring their dog to work. Usually there are 3 to 5 dogs in the company at any given days. We actually bought current office buildings so that we can bring our dogs.

This picture was taken at my house.

What should I write on my blog???

3月

27日

I am asked many times by the business people what should I write on my Blog? My answer often is anything but advertisement of your company or product. How many advertisements can you write? Do you watch TV to see the advertisements? I dont think so. You watch the show and as a result you watch the advertisements.

The show is you. You must sell you on the Internet. You must be attractive enough to attract audiences. There is no point for you to advertise when there is nobody to see it. Think about what you know, what you like, what you dont like, and then write about them. Regardless of where your blog is, unless you update them often, you will not attract anyone.

Some of the topics people may choose to write are

(1) What you eat
(2) Pets
(3) Where you go
(4) Whom you met
(5) Business Failure
(6) Business Success
(7) Advise you received (Good or Bad, Worse)
(8) Health and Diet
(9) Economy and Politics
(10) Current News

Again, you need to update your blog as often as possible. Also, pictures will make your blog more attractive.

Bloguru Buddy Requests

3月

19日

I thank you for the request to be your Bloguru Buddy. I will accept any request to buddy up with me. I really like to communicate with you.

However, I have a small favor to ask you. Those of you who embed the music in your Bloguru page, I would like you make it so that the music does not play automatically. I access Bloguru from my office and I do not want people to think I am playing.

Thank you.

Hello Mr. President

3月

17日

The White House has a blog.
Did you know that?
The president of the greatest nation on this planet has a blog.

The White House website enables you to write a comment.
I am sure whatever you write will not be read by Mr. President himself, but that is not a point. The point is, if there is place for anyone to write a comment to the President of the country, do your web site allows your customers to write to you?

When the president of the US has a blog, do you?
Whey not?
You dont have time Yeah right, can you afford not to have a blog?
I am not really impressed by the new administration for its handling of money, but I can tell you, they did a great job making www.whitehouse.gov web site. We should all learn from it.

Oh, the screen above is what you see when you send a comment. You should try. I will post something when I receive any response back.

Here is the video I took with my digital camera in Seattle. You must make sure you do not use "Web de Video" to distribute copyrighted material.

Did you know you can set URL on BLOGURU

3月

14日

When you open a blog, do you know you can set your own URL?

My Bloguru URL is www.bloguru.com/ken

To set URL, you need to go to your Bloguru administrator page, and select URL Setting. You will see a screen like above. You just type in the name you wish to call. My case I typed in ken. You can enter any name (no space or symbols allowed). You can change your URL any time you wish. Once URL is set, it should be the address you should use to address your blog. It is much easier than the number Bloguru automatically assign you when you open an account.
