I have started this new year of 2010 with a poker blog topic – Poker blog comments – necessity and obligation. The article gives the reasons why every poker blog author should encourage the comments in his/her blogs no matter if it is about poker or any other topic.

Here is an excerpt:

Suggestions. Comments can be used as a perfect way to collect suggestions for the future blog topics. If the debate deviates from the main topic, it means that people would like to read a new post on the issues that have been discussed. The author can also ask for the readers’ opinion on the topic. And not only the opinion. It can be additional resources for education, information on competitors etc.

Here is a short excerpt:

Try to get into “Friends” and “Blogroll” lists of the other poker blogs. Write an email to the blog author and kindly ask to cooperate and exchange links between your blogs. Try to be nice and polite, do not send mass emails.

Here is a short excerpt:

One would have a good point by saying that 1 blog per service is enough. I would say that you should run at least 3 blogs on the same topic (service) at 3 different blogging engines. All of them can be connected with each other using a simple RSS import feature, so instead of one blog with 3 categories you can have 2 more blogs with their own topics.

Here is a short excerpt:

6. Moderating a blog debate. Blog is a form of discussion when the author may ask a question or announce their position regarding one or another important issue. The bloggers get to moderate the discussions themselves, unlike at the forums where moderators are hired or appointed.

Here is a short excerpt:

Did you read the names carefully? Yes, the names of the tournament and the bounty are from Tony’s trash talk video where Tony sends home Ralph Perry shouting his famous phrases "Yah baby", "On ya bike", "Bring more Russians on", "Gone! Gone! Gone!", "Feel my powah!" and others. Every poker player should see this video on YouTube (try searching for "Tony G poker" and you will definitely find it).

In order to make it not so boring, I have added an amazing and classic poker video where Tony shouts on poor Ralph Perry. This video gave some memorable quotes such as “On Ya Bike”, “Bring more Russians on” or “Gone, Gone, Gone” to a poker world.

By the way, the promo is really good and if you consider playing poker and do not want to lose a penny, try it out. More information at TonyG Poker promo page.

Recently I read an article about Live Writer and how easy it is multiple blog management. Let’s check it out. So far I am setting some blogs in different services. Everything is quite easy.

Let’s add some picture and see how it works. Also I will check HTML code if there are lots of these Windows tags and other useless stuff. Very nice features! And very easy preview of the post.

Amazing plug-in – Polaroid pictures

I think i will use it from now on.

Also I write something similar in Host1Plus blog – social media for general business. Unfortunately I have stopped the Lithuanian social media investigation. I should revive it one day. Maybe in winter I will have some spare weekends for that.

Here is the short excerpt:

The first option requires programming skills and can cost you some money as you cannot just ask your friend to do it. A Web Design Company or at least a freelance programmer is needed. That’s just unacceptable for an amateur blogger. Maybe later, when the blog is already known and the owner can afford spending a few thousand dollars on a nice website. Anyway, the main poker blogger’s focus should be on the content and not the fancy graphics.

If we look from beginners perspective, Facebook is a perfect place to learn and practice a little in order to get to higher level than “fish”. What are other applications usefull and recommended to be used in Facebook. i wrote an article about that called Top 5 Poker Applications in Facebook. Hopefully it will help people not getting lost among 500 of spammy or not functional Facebook poker applications.
