BLOG-WATCH:Insta BLOKE

I'm adding a new section Blog-watch in which i will be writing
reviews about cool blogs i have encountered with.Beginning with
a blog for bloggers,Insta BLOKE talks blogging.It's a blog dedicated to fellow bloggers giving tips to improve their blogs and helping them turn pro.The blog belongs to a senior pro in the business,whose name had been mentioned in washington post and lot of others.However he has a huge fan following because he's very responsive to the questions which raises him to a position of blog guru in my terms.The site is well organized and has feed-burner subscriber giving options to choose:ie full feed or headlines.I would reccomend it to bloggers seeking a hand of help or are interested in expanding their blog-know-how.And by the way dont' mindabout the ads i have put here and there,they run the site so please tolerate.

BLOGGER BETA STILL DONT SUPPORTS W.BLOGGAR

I'll call it a shame on blogger because it still doesn't support w.bloggar, a software everyone uses to update
their posts in most cases(since it's a free-ware) unless you are unfortunate enough
to register in blogger-beta and given a free ticket to wait till we get the time to
do such unimportant things by blogger dear.I'm sure of one thing that if blogger doesn't do it any-where near in future they will be very well loosing a lot of users
and i know blogger will never want that especially when sites like Wordpress,Yahoo,
Msn are calling people with both hands.Alas
we can be happy of one thing w.bloggar is updating itself and becoming more and more
competent.
