How to start a Blog
How to Start a Blog
A "blog", abbreviated word for weblog, is a web-based journal in which people can publish their thoughts and opinions on the Internet. It is everyone's home on the world wide web and probably their number one venting venues. Anyone can start a blog. It's straight-forward and, in a lot of cases, free.
Find a decent blogging provider that appeals to you. Some may include MuseCrafters.com, Livejournal.com, JournalHome.com, www.blogger.com ,ChoseIt, WordPress.com , TheDiary.org, Mindsay.com, Blog.ir, Blogagotchi.com, Diaryland.com, Blogdrive.com, weebly.com or Xanga.com. Most of these sites are pre-made with templates and push-button publishing that don't require much technical know-how.
- Once you sign up, you'll have a gallery of ready-made templates to choose from. With these, you can pick a color scheme and layout for your blog.
- Most sites come with a set of predefined layouts and schemes that you can choose from. Select one and personalize it. Then add your name, interests, images, etc.
- If you want to, get a more unique template, there are some sites up that have many of these that might make it look better. For example, PimpMyProfile.com or Pyzam.com.
- Add blogging freebies like buttons, images, blog chalks, imoods, tagboards (for example, myshoutbox.com), guest maps, guestbooks, comment boxes for readers' input, etc.
- Explore other blog sites that offer more features for a small fee, such as Typepad.com andChoseIt.
- Decide on whether or not you want your blog to be private or public: do you want any Internet visitor to be able to read your blog, or do you just want your friends and family to be able to read it? Most blog sites offer the ability to password-protect your published posts so only those who you approve of can view what you've written.
- After you've set up your blog, write a few posts to test it out, and make any adjustments to the layout or style that you see fit. Like if you just got a new template, you'd check your blog to see if you like it, right? At first, it will seem tough to figure out what to write, but once you get into a routine of daily blogging, you will find it addictive. Write about your day, your thoughts, events, ideas, fears, pleasures, the news, current affairs, art, or anything you are interested in!
- Visit other blogs to build a blogging circle. When you leave comments, add your blogging address so they can visit you too. (Note: This will not work if your blog is private)
- Publish your blog by sending the URL to your friends or publish the URL on your website. Add the URL to posts you make on other blogs.

Baloch unity site banned
According to media source: The government has started monitoring the internet to identify anti-state websites promoting ethnic hatred and terrorism and has detected one such website.
According to sources, information technology experts of the Federal Investigation Agency’s Special Investigation Group (SIG) recently detected a website, www.balochunity.org, which contained anti-state content and asked the IT ministry to block it.
The website was hosted from the Russian Federation using a company name.
It contained demands for an independent and sovereign Balochistan and rights of the Baloch people over their resources.
The sources said the FIA was also regularly monitoring national and international websites to detect material inciting sectarianism and extremism.
All SMS are also being monitored to check if they contain anything against the government, its institutions or ministers.

web 2.0 security
3 Key Questions
Due to web 2.0 tolls, wiki and blog open ups new channels for business but it creates threats for credit card users.
Anxious to monitor teens’ attitudes on emerging fashion trends, the clothing retailer added an opinion widget to its popular Web site. But when an attacker posted a false blog post via the widget that popular blouses were selling for 50 percent less at another site, unsuspecting shoppers started purchasing there, not knowing that the site was hosted in Romania for the sole purpose of harvesting credit-card information. Hoping to reduce its promotional costs and sell more slow-moving products, an online sports retailer added an inexpensive ad widget to its site, pushing the latest promotions to desktops based on the user’s browsing habits. Because they neglected the proper due diligence, the retailer didn’t discover that the provider of the ad widget also installed a key logger. Now when the unsuspecting user conducts transactions on any Web site, the key logger captures the user’s sensitive information, which is then sold in the underground market and exploited by crooks.
1. Who plays in this sandbox?
Internally, do you need to establish a wide-open social network for all your employees to collaborate? Or something more structured to open new lines of communication between departments—say for R&D and sales? Externally, does the business case for adding new Web 2.0 functionality support the need for added security measures?
2. Who is responsible for maintaining the integrity of consumer-generated information on our Web site?
Some companies are satisfied with letting volunteers or random employees provide online help to customers visiting a forum widget. Redirecting people to the forum is perceived as a way of lowering customer-care or helpdesk costs. Other companies assign subject matter experts to constantly monitor and revise information on wikis.
3. What due diligence is required to assess the risks of Web 2.0 technologies?
Can someone from the advertising department drop their favorite app into their online marketing environment from the Twitter fan wiki? Or is a more formal approach to governance required to ensure that security concerns are addressed? In mid-November, Net Vibe’s directory hosted 4,402 business and finance widgets, a number that will only increase. For the CIO, this proliferation of Web 2.0 tools presents another difficult balancing act between innovation and security.
Getting answers to those questions is the first step in taking advantage of these emerging technologies, before the organization is taken advantage of by rogue Web 2.0 incursions that undermine the business.

CO2 into biofuel
Researchers at Singapore’s Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) have devised a means of transforming CO2 into the biofuel and widely used chemical methanol.
The process works by adding hydrosilane, a combination of silica and hydrogen, to CO2 in the presence of a catalyst. The product of this reaction is turned into methanol by adding water in a process called hydrolysis.
The catalyst is essential to driving the process, but the IBN researchers have found an organocatalyst – a non-metallic organic compound – to do the job. Organocatalysts have huge advantages over traditional metal-based catalysts – they are stable, easily stored, cheap to produce and do not contain toxic heavy metals.
These attributes mean that the process can transform CO2 to methanol under mild conditions in dry air.
“We hope to provide a viable alternative energy option for industry, and effective sequestration and conversion of CO2,” says lead researcher and director of IBN Jackie Y. Ying.
