<br />
The latest idea in the list: BuzzBoost.As described on the <a href="http://www.burningdoor.com/feedburner/archives/001311.html">blog</a>: <blockquote class="zitat">BuzzBoost's job is to redisplay your feed content anywhere you can copy and paste a short snippet of HTML code — in a Blogger or TypePad page template, on a corporate website, or even in a "signature" block on a message board. <br />
<br />
BuzzBoost code is just a short line of JavaScript that displays content items and information from a FeedBurner feed according to settings you provide.</blockquote>A great documentation <a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/buzzboost/howto">on how to use BuzzBoost</a> is given, and you have to take a look at <a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/buzzboost/examples">the examples of what is possible</a>! ]]></content:encoded>

<br />
It is used in this line:<blockquote class="zitat"> $datepost=format_date(<b>$db->entry["date"]</b>, "year-month-day" );</blockquote> which is for my blogsoftware Pivot.<br />
<br />
So my call for help: How does one get this information in different blog software? :) ]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Most bloggers only have one layout and everybody is served the same, whether it is our daily readers or search engine traffic. But why?  This article shows an example on how to differentiate those visitors based on the age of the post.I just finished an article over at Darren's blog called "<a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2005/07/04/ads-you-can-show-them-later/">Ads: You can show them later!</a>" which main suggestion is: Show ads only on blog posts older than some days.<br />
<br />
I've compared the earnings of some of my blogs based on the amount of days passed, and found that I only get some cents from daily visitors. So why annoy them with advertisement when they won't click anyway? If you are wondering - I have not done the implementation on all blogs as you can see here. ;)<br />
<br />
It will depend on your blogging software to develop the  mechanism, but usually you do have a way to get to the date of the blog post. Of course, you should start slow and at first gather information whether or not you earn money on those days - it would be stupid to give that away. <br />
<br />
<b>How can we do that?</b><br />
I use Adsense ads as example but of course this can be used by any kind of advertisement. <br />
<br />
You can calculate how many days have passed since then and depending on the amount of days passed, you display different channel information. The following is a snippet written in PHP and the used blog software is <a href="http://www.pivotlog.net/">Pivot</a> but you should be able to adapt this.<blockquote class="zitat">function snippet_gad() {<br />
  $datepost=format_date($db-&gt;entry["date"], "%year%-%month%-%day%" );<br />
<br />
  $dayspassed = (round((strtotime("now") - strtotime($datepost))/(60*60*24)-1));<br />
  if ($dayspassed&gt;=3){<br />
<br />
        $output .="google_ad_channel =\"<i>channel1</i>\";\n";<br />
<br />
    if ($dayspassed&gt;=7){<br />
          $output .="google_ad_channel =\"<i>channel2</i>\";\n";<br />
    }<br />
<br />
    <i>[output other google information including the java script link ]</i><br />
  }<br />
<br />
return $output;<br />
  }</blockquote>So if less then two days have passed, nothing is shown. If more than two days have passed, channel1 is used, otherwise channel2. Please note that this is a very simple implementation and I should just make that more than 4 days. :)<br />
<br />
But you get the idea. With this kind of separation, you could also use it to display a different type of ads if somebody comes through Google to your site than from another referrer. <br />
<br />
To spin this even further: You could also make a distinction between the accepted language from the browser: If it is German, display a German Amazon ID, if it is English, use the US store id. ]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[ In a recent post over at Problogger I encouraged you to learn proper typing to improve your 'over all blogging experience'. Trust me, while it might take time, it is always worth the effort. I myself consider me to be an example of relearning this for four times. If you had not had the chance, I encourage you to read it, here just a short excerpt:<blockquote class="zitat"><a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2005/06/06/improve-your-typing-skills/">Improve your typing skills</a> <br />
...<br />
Being a professional blogger means in most of the cases: publish content, targeted at your audience, structured, and well written.<br />
...<br />
No matter how fast you thing you are with 2 fingers, you will always be faster with 8-10. It is not so much about hitting keys faster with one finger at a time, it is about muscle memory and your body knowing "this word, these keys, in this order = these fingers move now! ". With a 2-5 finger system it is about "move one finger from this key to another"<br />
<br />
Less time used in typing down your blog entries means more blog entries in the same amount of time. And you will start to do more editing, because it is not so much of a hassle. Improving your typing skills also does speed up mails and IM conversations.  Being able to position your hands on the keyboard without having to look at it, just start typing, etc, all adds up over the day.<br />
<br />
If you can type blind, you also can look at your notes and type them down, instead of reading the notes, looking at the keyboard, refocus again on the notes, and so on.</blockquote>Many people say 'I don't have the time' or 'I am already spoiled!' but let me share my experience with you.<br />
<br />
When I started with my computer, of course I did the 2 finger system, which I did for about 3 years of light usage. Luckily, I was forced to attend a training class for 10 finger system before I could start my education. This lead to learning for the second time, this time the 10 finger system. I never forget the teacher telling me "Oh, you are so clever! You can learn two keys in one lesson!". :) After that initial lesson, I did write in 10 fingers, but all in lowercase, because I was chatting and mailing with friends.<br />
<br />
Writing correctly in upper / lowercase was awfully slow compared to all lowercase. After my education was finished, I had to write notes, documentation etc - so I went through the hard process of learning. <br />
<br />
It took me another 2-3 years to finally being able to type in a good typing speed as I can do with my lowercase typing, but this is also attributed to the fact, that in non chat / mail enviroment you use more complicated words. ;)<br />
<br />
So, after 3 times of learning, I type fast and in upper/ lower case. So why do I say four times?<br />
<br />
You are just looking at it. My fourth time of learning, is learning to type as fast in English as I can in German. And this time it is easier because it is 'just' expanding my vocabulary, but at the same time it is much harder, because I have to relearn "everyday sentences / word fragments" because they are suddenly written differently.<br />
<br />
Even worse: I have to completly switch my brain to English - and don't hear anything German while typing, because then I am screwed. :)<br />
<br />
German and English do have many similar words, but they are spelled differently. For example Deusch / German is easy, but words like bevor / before or Englisch / English are much harder. I do recognize that my brain is in "confused" mode when I want to write peace but type piece. <br />
<br />
Training again, but it works.:) I would rate my typing skills now as efficient enough. And in case you want to object on that - you probably mean my spelling and grammar. ;) ]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What to do when you want your burned feed to be updated at feedburner.Recently, I had the problem that my podcasting feed was fetched by feedburner but did not contain the enclosures. Bummer. What happened? I mispelled the name of the file - no problem to fix that. But I did not manage to update the burned feed.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Eric from Feedburner at the <a href="http://forums.feedburner.com/viewtopic.php?p=3222#3222" title="">forum for the tip</a>:<blockquote class="zitat">If you ever need to "reset" your enclosures, you can log in to your FeedBurner account, click on "Edit" for your feed, and then hit "Resync" next to your source feed url. That will clear out and rediscover all of the enclosures. </blockquote>I hope, this works for normal feeds also. :) ]]></content:encoded>

			<description>Stephen Baker stated a well known fact in the blogspotting blog: You don't need to be a 'writer' to have a blog.</description>
			<guid isPermaLink="false">22@http://blogpraxis.de/</guid>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Stephen Baker stated a well known fact in the <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/blogspotting/archives/2005/05/how_the_blogs_b.html?campaign_id=rss_blog_blogspotting" title="">blogspotting blog</a>: You don't need to be a 'writer' to have a blog.<blockquote class="zitat">This brings into the world of letters loads of techies and scientists, who are comfortable with math. Is this going to affect the way we see the world? I'm open to suggestions.</blockquote>I would not say that it is 'the guys with math', but I totally feel okay with the statement, that blogging allows the non-writers to shape their skills and voice. <br />
<br />
I consider myself a non-writer, and I envy people who can write those beautiful texts. But I want to tell the world stuff too! In old times, the only chance I would have had would probably have been to buy a paper and demand to be publish.  And today? I do have blogs. <br />
<br />
And through the years, my writing has improved (still a long way to go to reach the kind of quality writers can do on a bad day). One main benefit of blogging? You get used to writing. Take your traditional coworker and tell him to write 100 words about a random topic. Even if you are a non-writer, as a longtime blogger, you will be able to do so very quickly. <br />
<br />
But I was quite surprised to see the comments on his blog, they way they are going. Kind of hostile. <br />
<br />
So my conclusion: If 'maths' entered the world of writing through blogs, it will of course change the way we see the world, because suddenly, there are people out there showing what they are interested in. Which is quite different on what a typical writer and journalist tend to see 'worthy of available space'.<br />
<br />
It shows the variety of interests from people all over the world. And as Stephen says - not all bloggers are bad writers. Some are, but most are not. But all of them are welcome. Maybe not by the commenters on the blogentry and people like them, but by many other persons out there. <br />
<br />
And that is a very good feeling. :) ]]></content:encoded>

			<title>What do I expect of an offline blog editor?</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The more blogs one runs, the more difficult it is to keep track and post / prepare stuff. While it helps to have a bit of organisation around, many bloggers start using offline editors. And I am sure, many also curse about them. So, as <a href="http://blog.qumana.com/blog/_archives/2005/5/28/893063.html" title="">Tris from the Isle Qumana</a> ;) asks "What are your needs for an offline blog editor", you have a chance to answer that question.And I'm happy to do so, because giving feedback often means, I get what I want (yes, I am that much of a selfish girl) - if I can persuade them. You would be astonished, how often it works. ;)<br />
<br />
So, as Tris posted: <blockquote class="zitat">Right, so you know that Qumana makes an offline-blog editor.  You probably also know that a whole new version and approach is coming out June 13th.  The question is then, what would you like in an offline editor?</blockquote>No I didn't, but now I know. (Will the first edition go out in June? The page is not clear about that.)<br />
<br />
So let's answer:  As a start, I like it to be <b>working</b>! Neither w.bloggar nor ecto would load on my machine - which has Win XP Sp2 with the news .net framework on it ... So I can't tell you anything about what I like or not on them. <br />
<br />
Then, I would like to see such a software on the webpage with screenshots, so I can judge if they look enough like standard windows applications. We do talk about such, don't we? The page does not states otherwise.<br />
<br />
<b>Things I really want</b> because I am used to that and frequently miss it when I am in the web editor or working offline:<br />
<br />
<i>Keyboard shortcuts.</i> This is a no go. Main features only available per mouse? Uninstall. Keyboard shortcuts in non standard ways? Uninstall. Not enough, windows standard following and additional logical keyboard shortcuts: Uninstall. Please make sure about that in your description so I don't even need to install your software.<br />
<br />
<i>Easy save. Auto save. Undo.</i> My text editor <a href="http://notetab.com" title="">Notetab</a> makes incremental saves, which I can get rid of at the end of the day - but recover if I need them. Because of that, I hit CTRL-S sometimes several times in a minute.<br />
<br />
I want full screen. I don't care how cute your designer thinks this resized windows are, I want full screen. Resizing of screens throughout the session? Uninstall.<br />
<br />
And I want to be able to change the display settings regarding the displayed font-size. Yes, I know this will not be what the html says, I don't care. These are my eyes. And - again those designers - make the screen use a good one. Too often I see restricted window sizes (of course, not resizeable!) because it would look ugly if this would use the available space. (If it is 'ugly' when it follows my needs, it is ugly in the first place!)<br />
<br />
These are basics which decide whether or not I will even start to use the software. Now, which additional features do I want?<br />
<br />
General things: While wysiwyg is nice, I would like to have html view be chooseable. I use some special css on all of my site, which mainly is used for quotes. I need to tweak that into the written html. I <i>could</i> get rid of that if your application is really worth the price.<br />
<br />
It would be nice if enough explanation would be available so I could get it working with <a href="http://www.pivotlog.net/" title="">Pivot</a>, which I am using on all of my blogs. Pivot starts to offer a meta interface, so as long as the editor makes it clear how to use it, I'm good. As some blog software might not be integratable, it would be a clever idea to have a  "show this and copy and paste is easy" view. You know about standards regarding tab order, selected text etc?<br />
<br />
Managing features: As offline blogging tools is about blogging to multiple sites (most of the times) and about many postings, I would like to see different approaches on posted and non posted entries. I imagine different choices in an mdi like application of "work in posted", "work in draft", "work in ready to upload". These are there different things while editing. Think inbox, outbox, sent items. <br />
<br />
Blogging on different entries for different blogs usually means working on different pieces at the same time. State of completion (draft, ready for proofread etc), priority, date of last edit etc are necessary for it. <br />
<br />
If I edit different blogs, in most of the cases I know where this should go, but I am not always sure in which 'blog' I am at the moment. I use different colors on my editing pages on my blogs to see where I am at - and it is the same reason why I have different colors on all of my blogs. Blue - this one. Red - Useful Sounds. And so on.<br />
<br />
(Especially while this is in test mode, I would like to see the offline editor to bring the post to my Blog application in "do not publish" mode, so I can check it there.)<br />
<br />
One thing very important for me (as I am not a stay at home blogger!): Very easy Import and export. Over the day, I usually am at 2-3 different computers and the ideas are flowing ever time. The places are not connected via network or anything. Starting the application two times and drag and drop several entries at one time to the other running instance would be okay. <br />
<br />
Oh yes, and I hate applications which only run in the installed places. 2 of my most used apps run out of the box where I start them - so transporting such on an usb stick is easy. <br />
<br />
One thing comes to my mind about wysiwyg: If you know your way around html, wysiwyg is often a pain in the ass, because you are much more sophisticated and know what to do. Therefore, if there is an beginners and one expert mode: I want this to be switched on constantly. <br />
<br />
[Oh and yes, I do betatests but don't try me if you fail the keyboard thing ... ;)] ]]></content:encoded>

I told her about how I liked it how fast Amazon was able to adapt to my searching behaviour. <br />
<br />
I had been searching for English training book (which I had never done before) and it took them only about 15 minutes to adapt to that and present me with more information about this topic, start presenting some of my already bought books in English and so on. <br />
<br />
When I told my friend about that, she was puzzled. "What do you mean by adapt?" She didn't know that Amazon would make a special page, just for her. But she admitted, that she had been wondering why sailing and magic seemed so popular that they'd make it the front page. <br />
<br />
Now, as we know, one of the most liked features of Amazon (or isn't it`?) is the "People who liked ... also liked" feature. And it seems as if Adsense is preparing for it in a way.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://1871media.com/blogs/blogview.asp?blogID=78" title="">1871 media</a> writes: <blockquote class="zitat">I was able to click on the ad and even input text within the ad itself. The Ad seemed to be asking the reader for suggestions on what should display. Please see the below JPG for details.</blockquote>While this seems not to be connected to my thoughts above, I would say, it is.<br />
<br />
For the moment, they try to test what people would like to see if they are on page A with topic B. From the data they can gather, they surely can make some decisions after analysing them. Do they only search for similar stuff? Do they search for different stuff? Do they search for the same stuff all the time?<br />
<br />
Publishers will like it, if the ads are targeted good. How can they be targeted? Same as Amazon does it. cookies and personal search profiles. <br />
<br />
From an advertisers standpoint, the Adwords or similar part, this is more complicated. Do you want to be displayed just for your keywords? Or perhaps also on this kind of advertisement? Perhaps Google makes it easy for the publisher to use this additional kind of ad by a less price. <br />
<br />
Or display more high priced ads on sites based on clicking behaviour of a person - she clicked once on "great necklace", she will click again. He is like to click a dozen times on his dream car. The Google web accelerator will make that possible even more than Amazon does.<br />
<br />
And if you look around you - Joe User will just be surprised how well targeted and interesting these ads are ... ]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[ While Google started it contextual advertisement to feeds, another service goes the Blogads way.This new service <a href="http://RSSads.com" title="">RSSads</a> allows you to sell your feed or buy ads in it.  While it looks a little bit rough around the edges, it shows me, that the market for advertisement in RSS feeds ist coming. (If you are interested in the progress of this service, they have a <a href="http://rssads.blogspot.com/" title="">blog</a> also.)<br />
<br />
I would like to make a request and would immediatly sign up for that service: Provide ads to the client on the basis of the amount of times the reader is polling. Once every two hours max, no ads. Every minute: Give him additional ads on top of my entries.<br />
<br />
Because one of the reason why people will be turning to advertisement is the very unreasonable abuse through feed readers, which are not properly set up. On a personal note: Every programmer, which allows an automatic polling more than once an hour should be receiving punishment. ]]></content:encoded>
