If you have been a die hard fan of Blogger and insist on using its complicated coding and unfriendly plugins as compared to wordpress, stubborn like a bull(like me). You might have stopped trying to develop your own blogger templates for others users to use for free and instead switch over to wordpress php themes which could earn you big bucks with the relatively high level of bloggers dying to purchase a license to use your theme.
If you want to learn beyond the basics of what Blogger can offer, let me introduce you to this book that Packtpub had installed for me to stumbleupon. I am awaiting for my air flown copy of this exciting book which promises more than just simple blogger XML coding.
 "It allows users to easily create dynamic blogs with great content and many outstanding features including RSS feeds, link-backs, photo slideshows, and integration with popular Google applications like Picasa. Its versatility and ease of use has attracted a large, enthusiastic, and helpful community of users.
The book is aimed at current users of the Blogger platform who want to get the most out of Blogger and people who use a different blogging platform and are planning on switching to Blogger. Blog owners who promote their own services, expertise, and products, and want to increase their blog's success by pushing the limits of what Blogger can do will get the most out of this book.

15 Sure Fire Tips To Turn Readers Into Mobsters On Your Blog
Do you blog for the mass public's views or do you blog to target a certain niche group of readers on your blog? Today I will share with you, how you are able to attract a general crowd to be interested in your topic yet giving your fair share of interest to your loyal readers who drop by everyday without fail.
Many bloggers have stress the point on communicating to a niche group that your blog targets. For example, if you are a make money online blog, then you should try to write more keyword related information on "Make Money Online" and how you can make more money by using affiliate programs or if you interested in photography, then you should bring topics like how you can use the different lightings and Shots to bring the beauty of the photo you are about to take. Make sure you can define the allies you need so that you can focus your message, resources and strategy where it counts.
Attracting the General Crowd
Where are you able to find this massive and viral crowd from the internet? It is the buzzword one year back though it still works very well with a number of successful network still running. "Social Media" creates a massive large unknown,unique array of visitors to drop by your blog base on "curiousity" and tagged along by the interesting "Blog Title", you have given on your own social network circle.
In most of the social media network system, how it really works, is to receive more votes and thumbsup to push your article to the top and front page and boom, you get the atomic bomb effect on your blog page when thousands of unfamiliar IP addresses stop by your blog to read on your article.
Recently, I have been using Twitter as my communicating client to my fellow friends and readers and it is working fairly well, you can try and get your own twitter and do updates regularly and start building your network.
The Niche Readers Who Reads your Blog
If you have a niche topic to talk about on your blog then you would have a strong list of readers who will follow you daily on what you have installed for them. Giving them qualities updates is very important and instead of post that do not make sense or does not have any values instill within. If you have nothing worth blogging, then do not blog and let the days past, it would be better than making irrelevant post which will only make your readers more frustrated.
Jonathan Field had a list of bloggers who answered his question on when to niche or not and these are what some of the bloggers felt:
Maki | DoshDosh.com - It depends on your goals and resources. If you are creating a blog purely for fun and to satisfy your interests, it doesn?t really make a difference if you build multiple sites or a single blog. If you?re using the blog as a means to generate direct or indirect income, you should probably start by examining your resources to see if you have the time or energy to market and maintain multiple niche blogs.I personally like to create a single blog which encompasses a variety of topics, because all my link building and marketing efforts are concentrated on one place: this can possibly lead to better results because of a naturally greater and more unified focus. One blog to market, one blog to write for. Once the blog has gotten a decent readership, its possible to leverage the attention you?ve gotten by creating smaller niche blogs and sending your audience to them. However, if the topics you plan to explore are too dissimilar, it might be better to build several niche blogs because that allows you to brand them more cohesively. I?ll make sure to keep the amount of blogs to a manageable level (2 to 4 may be optimal).If you have the resources (money + time ), you could build up several niche blogs simultaneously and inter-promote them, especially if they are in related fields. The problem with this approach is that it can be very tiring; you should probably have some prior experience with blog development, along with an intense desire for success. You need to know how to systematically and consistently promote each of your niche blogs.
Leo Babauta | Zen Habits - The question, to me, isn?t the topics or their common thread ? it?s your target audience. Does your target audience want to read about all of the topics, or are you really speaking to several audiences. For example, Lifehacker covers a broad range of topics, from tech and gadgets to how-to stuff on the Internet to how to get into shape and wake up earlier. But they have a very defined audience that just gobbles up all of those topics.Now, if you do a technology blog and talk about stay-at-home parenting and scrapbooking, I would split those into different blogs, because they have different audiences. Of course, there will always be a small number of people who share all of your interests, but is that small group of people really your target audience? Figure that out, and you have your course of action already planned.
Yaro Starak | Entrepreneurs-journey.com - That really depends on the topics. I?m inclined to focus on one blog only as the blog you write to because I aim for a two hour ?blogging? day, and with multiple blogs that can be quite difficult to achieve. So my advice would be to either find a way to make all the topics go together, or drop one or two, build up an audience, and then start branching out when your audience becomes attached to you and your blog, so changing topics now and then doesn?t hurt so much.
For the rest of bloggers who gave their views, Jonathan did a great job in archiving their comments on a post "To niche or Not to Niche"?
Where will you want to start your blogging with? Social media impact or just pure niche marketing audiences that you want to target.

The Creative Capacity of Questions
Asking questions is one of the simplest and most effective ways of challenging assumptions and convention, creating additional perspectives on existing opportunities and highlighting new and unexpected gaps in the blogging market.
?It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.?
Albert Einstein (German born American Physicist who developed the special and general theories of relativity.)
Asking questions intensifies your interest in, and understanding of, ideas and concepts. One of the questioning technique which is commonly used is the 5 Whys. This is a straight and forward but effective technique stemmed initially from the world of manufacturing production.
Toyota pioneered the technique in the 1970s to attack the root causes of manufacturing problems rather than treat the symptoms or the contributory causes. The technique recognises that very often the ostensible reason for a problem will lead you to another question. Four or Five repeated questions tend to be sufficient to peel away the layers of symptoms to reveal the root cause of the problem and show how the total problem is structured.
It is the most useful to you during the opportunity shaping step as a technique to break down market opportunities into their constituent parts and to generate blogging market insights. Do you have questions about blogging to share with everyone, why not leave me a comment and i will help answer your queries.

 Michael Phelps went a perfect 8-for-8 in Beijing, breaking Mark Spitz's single-Games record for gold medals. He swam 17 times over nine days and broke the world record in four of his five individual swims. His three relay teams also set world marks.
At first glance, Phelps might look like a typical swimmer. But several of his physical characteristics seem genetically tailored for swimming and that includes a decade of high-intensity training, and you get one of the fastest swimmers in history.
Have Fun Blogging
"I think of it as something I love to do, and I'm just having fun with it." One of Phelps winning strategy in his chase towards his 8 gold medals was to pursue the dream and goal he had set for himself. If you blog with love and passion towards what you are delivering on your site, things will flow according and it will not take you long to see the results you have set for yourself.
No Pain No Gain
"Growing up in high school, I wasn't hanging out with friends every day or on the weekends. Doing normal high school kid things was something I was willing to give up. I know I won't have opportunities like this in the sport for the rest of my life, so I should take advantage of them while I can." Phelps pursued his dreams to become an Olympian, in order to excel in his field, he was willing to give up his time with friends and spent most of his time training which he felt was a right decision made. Many bloggers might have mistaken how JohnChow, Problogger, ZacJohnson and others rise to where they are now. They have put in time and effort to excel in their own field and it could be transparent in the eyes of all their readers, how much they have to sacrifice to reach their peak.
Throw yourself these questions, Why are you blogging?, What's in for me blogging?, Where do i see myself in this field?, Who can follow my footsteps one day? and How can all these be done? A blogging Plan will help you answer all these questions. If any answer is because you will want to become a celebrity blogger overnight, make enough money to retire or blog anything under the sky without knowing where you are heading then this field might not be what you love to do but something you want to do to get returns.

Yahoo Buzz is finally open to the public to submit their content to the social news network. Back then, a small handful of publishers could submit content in a bid to iron out any pre-public release kinks. Yahoo Buzz is very much a mainstream social news site with huge potential.
Yahoo Buzz allows anyone to submit and vote upon content much like you would expect from the like of the already established digg.com. We might have found a contender to overthrow the likes of Giant Social sites, Digg and Stumbleupon. But can Yahoo Buzz live up to its expectation?
Some of the main factors we see YB has that could seriously take the beating of their rivals.
- Stories on Yahoo buzz to some extent is controlled by human intervention.
- Yahoo buzz has the potential to send more traffic to an article than digg does if you hit the mainpage at Yahoo.
- Digg was made for the tech savvy users and thus other target niche will not be able to unleash its own potential to the maximum.
Do we see them as one of the competitive social sites after seeing blogginzoom and mixx fail to overtake the likes of Digg and Reddit.
