A Capiznon Blogger

Blogging is my new pastime--not just for me, but for Internet-connected people all over the world. There are personal blogs, tech blogs, and advertising blogs. Whatever the topic, someone has probably blogged it. Some of us get paid to blog and others pay for the privilege of blogging. Before, blogging is really not for me, before I’ve entered into the world of blogging I was just a simple student in school, taking up computer technician course. When I heard about that one of the former College student in Capiz who graduated in ACLC Roxas have won in the contest. I’m really happy because it gives pride to our school. The next day, one of the I.T instructors in our school actually encourages me to try blogging. Despite of my hectic schedule, so, I try and I’ve just started last November 26, 2008. Some of my friends give me some tips on how to start to create a blog. They give me also some websites to visit to read more about blogging tips. My blog is nearly one month old on this day, and till this time, as a Capiznon blogger I almost completely give up or seriously slow down my activity because I feel like it’s not getting anywhere. Sometimes it is also frustrating, it is time consuming and stressful, and of course spending a lot of money on it, yes, money. But when I saw a growing numbers of visitors even slowly, I still continue what I’ve started. When I saw my blog is on the right track, I’m improving the quality of articles I wrote. Quality is always going to be a somewhat subjective issue, but I know that when I look back at my first blog posts I’m kind of embarrassed at the low level of quality, and I don’t think I’m alone. Blogging could be a tough task for a newbie, and that’s I’m still researching on the net some tips on blogging and how to optimize my blog. I work on something for eight hours and I can bet it will be good. More time means I can refine, format and fill my post with plenty of value. I take my time to really craft my content. Starting a new blog or growing an existing one can certainly be frustrating, as it may seem like you are not on pace to achieve your goals. Like anything worthwhile, building a solid and effective blog will take some time and hard work. When I heard about the inter school Contest that will be participated by most of the college students, teachers, and graduate of Capiz, I was kinda little bit excited so I joined. The contest was sponsored by OptiRed Company. OptiRed announced to all participants to compete for a 2-month period contest to gain the highest position they can achieve on Google. The key phrase for this contest is “Hectic Capiznon Bloggers 2009”. The contest started last February 3, 2009. The end date is on April 10, 2009. I was so excited to join, coz it will test my skills and ability in optimizing a blog. I think I have enough idea and experience to at least create a post like this. This Hectic Capiznon Bloggers 2009 Contest is a good learning experience. It has validated what I thought I knew about search engine optimization and taught me new things about participating in a contest. Until now my journey as a newbie blogger is keeping on the right track, still moving on, blogging is my new past time and Hectic Capiznon Bloggers 2009 contest experience will continue to my journey to success. Thanks for reading.

Points to consider while writing articles

Article directories are websites that collect articles on many different topics, ranging from Arts & Entertainment to Health to Technology. There is no standard list of categories for articles to be submitted to, so you are going to have to choose the most appropriate category on each site. During the process of article submission do not forget to consider below 5 key points. Following these points will meet the purpose of both i.e. your target audience and search engines.
  • Articles should be original and information rich.
  • Articles should be keyword rich but not excessive to the point of keyword stuffing.
  • The average length of articles should be between 500 and 700.
  • Give a unique title to your article with main keyword into it so as to make it easy for web crawlers to identify and classify the topic of your article.
  • Giving subheadings, bullets and numberings to articles make it presentable and easy to read for potential customers.

Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett JohanssonScarlett Johansson mixes undeniable acting talent with wit and wisdom beyond her years to create a truly atypical appeal. We especially admire her well-deserved self-confidence and the wide range of challenging roles, which, as a result, she has successfully taken on.

Why we Like her?
A thoroughly urban young woman, Scarlett Johansson knew she wanted to be an actress at age 3, and she made that wish a reality only five years later. After an off-Broadway debut and several film roles, Scarlett went on to win a Hollywood Reporter YoungStar Award for her work in The Horse Whisperer.

More recently, the ever-confident and uniquely gifted Scarlett has been named Breakthrough Actress at the 2003 Hollywood Film Festival's Hollywood Awards and Best Actress in a Leading Role (Lost in Translation) at the 2004 BAFTA Awards. She was also nominated for two Best Actress Golden Globes for Lost in Translation and Girl with a Pearl Earring.

Why she is Famous?
After her role in Robert Redford's The Horse Whisperer (1998), the teenaged Scarlett landed one plum part after another in movies like Ghost World (2000), The Man Who Wasn't There (2001), Lost in Translation (2003), Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003), and The Perfect Score (2004).

Although she's been acting for over a decade, it wasn't until 2003 that Scarlett Johansson burst onto the scene with a star-making performance in Lost in Translation. Scarlett has spent the last several years appearing in a wide variety of films, including a historical drama, 2003?s Girl with a Pearl Earring, a science-fiction thriller, 2005?s The Island, and even a feature-length cartoon, lending her voice to 2004?s The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie. Scarlett?s reputation for hooking up with some of the hottest men in Hollywood -- young (Josh Hartnett) and old (Benicio Del Toro) -- precedes her, and she's made it clear on several occasions that she doesn?t entirely believe in the concept of monogamy.

Biography
Born in New York City on November 22nd, 1984, Scarlett Johansson is the youngest of four siblings -- she has an older brother and sister, as well as a twin brother. As might be expected of an acting prodigy, Scarlett had an unusually early interest in performing: she wanted to be an actress since age 3, and was acting professionally when she was only 8 years old. After taking classes at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute for Young People, Scarlett made her stage debut in the early 1990s in the off-Broadway production of Sophistry, alongside Ethan Hawke.

Alessandra is as sexy as her name, and not featuring her would be considered a crime to her home country. Now we have two reasons to visit Brazil, including the Carnaval in Rio.

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and posing for magazine covers weren't Alessandra's only major accomplishments during the past year.

What makes her so Famous?
Not only is Adriana Lima considered one of Victoria's Secret's "Perfect 10" models, but as a spokesperson for Armani Jeans, we're not sure whether we'd rather see her in lingerie or jeans... tough call, ain't it?

Biography
Adriana Francesca Lima was born on June 12, 1981, in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. The blue/gray-eyed Brazilian beauty can attribute her exotic good looks to her French, Portuguese, Native-American, and Caribbean heritage.

Her climb from obscurity to glam girl occurred after placing second in the Ford Supermodel of the World Contest at the age of 13. Three years later, she headed to one of the fashion centers of the world, New York, and signed with Elite Model Management. Once there, her modeling portfolio began to expand exponentially, after appearing in Vogue (Italy) in 1997, as well as Vogue (UK), I-D (UK), Marie Claire (Brazil), and Vogue (Italy) in 1998. Adriana also appeared in Vogue (U.S., Germany, UK) and Marie Claire (Italy) in 1999.

As for fashion shows, the Vogue girl has walked down the runway for the following designers: Cynthia Rowley, Vera Wang, Christian Lacroix, Emanuel Ungaro, Betsey Johnson, Girls Rule, Richard Tyler, Giorgio Armani, Fendi, Randolph Duke, Ralph Lauren, and Valentino, just to name a few.

But one of Adriana's most notable catwalk appearances was in the Victoria's Secret summer 2000 swimwear catalog (shot in Cannes), where the Brazilian beauty shared the spotlight with a bevy of supermodels such as Heidi Klum and Laetitia Casta.
