Wordpress by Examples

We may have already familiar with Wordpress functionality as a blogging platform or to a lesser extent - a content management system, but do you know that you can write a book with Wordpress?

Producing a book using blog is not a new thing in the internet as the first blook (as it is called) was produced by Tony Pierce in 2002 when he compiled a collection of blog posts as a book.

Since then Blook has been recognized as a way of producing books using blogging platform. The first blook award was sponsored by Lulu.com (Lulu Blooker Prize) in 2006 to encourage quality written blooks from bloggers.

StumbleUpon is not a website or a firefox extension, It is a community, groups of bloggers, internet surfers, birds of feather, all flops together. It is a system that introduces you great web based on some categories! Don’t you think your blog or website is great? So lets the world knows and submit to StumbleUpon.

How it works?
When a member of StumbleUpon submit a new web to the system based on the categories he chooses, the submitted website will be in the stumble pool last for two to three days. In these two days, his submitted web will be discover by other members that stumble on the categories he chooses. If the member thinks his submitted is great, they will rank it by click on the button “I like it”. As much rank clicked as frequent the web will be discovered, this is important for generating traffics.

For those who are searching ways to do SEO may consider this. For my experience, during the migration of Linux By Examples (LBE) http://linux.byexamples.com from http://lne.blogdns.com/lbe. The traffic was been observed through google analytics. It raises from 113 to 431 and the next day 890 , 580 visits.

After this few days, LBE was no longer in the recent pool, but LBE is still appear in the first page of http://buzz.stubleupon.com under Linux category. And it wons 1727 clicks of “I like it”.

If your page is new, don’t consider to submit first. Build your page nicely before you submit, don’t lose the opportunities to promote your page in that 2 to 3 days.

If you do not have any blog or website to submit, you may want to try StumbleUpon too, it really discover great website for you, click “I like it” if you like it.
