Refill your Ink Cartrige and start saving Money
Now you can buy a refill kit that can be bought from the market for a very low cost and you can refill the ink cartridge yourself. The refill kit for such ink cartridges are equipped with the proper instructions on how to refill the cartridge and do not require any special skills. However be careful when selecting your refill kit try to buy one that has been made especially for your printer.
The ink can be refilled in a matter of minutes as the kit would be equipped with enough ink to last you for a few refills, a syringe to inject the ink into the cartridge, a tool to help you remove the top, gloves and the requisite instructions. Some people using this refilling kit for the first time would be worried but be rest assured as it is very easy to refill the ink yourself. Do not make the mistake of using ink that is not compatible with your printer as this could cause permanent damage as the ink may stick to the printer resulting in color distortion.
You also can take your empty printer ink cartridge and get it refilled at a local retailer that specializes in ink cartridge refills as he would ensure that you get the right cartridge refill...Walgreens also refills ink cartridges . Even though refilling the cartridge by yourself would not cost as much you might still miss out on the finer points, but even getting it refilled from a local retailer would save you a lot of money, sometimes as much as 70% of the price of a new cartridge
By getting the cartridge refilled and not buying a new one, you are not only doing yourself a favor by saving money, you are actually helping the environment by reducing the amount of garbage that goes into landfills each day. The main raw material used in the manufacturing of these printer ink cartridges is non-biodegradable such as plaster and that takes several years to disintegrate

Blogs, Bloggers, Blogs
There are many different types of blogs, differing not only in the type of content, but also in the way that content is delivered or written.
Personal blogs
The personal blog, an ongoing diary or commentary by an individual, is the traditional, most common blog. Personal bloggers usually take pride in their blog posts, even if their blog is never read by anyone but them. Blogs often become more than a way to just communicate; they become a way to reflect on life or works of art. Blogging can have a sentimental quality. Few personal blogs rise to fame and the mainstream, but some personal blogs quickly garner an extensive following. A type of personal blog is referred to as "microblogging," which is extremely detailed blogging as it seeks to capture a moment in time. Sites, such as Twitter, allow bloggers to share thoughts and feelings instantaneously with friends and family and is much faster than e-mailing or writing. This form of social media lends to an online generation already too busy to keep in touch
Corporate blogs
A blog can be private, as in most cases, or it can be for business purposes. Blogs, either used internally to enhance the communication and culture in a corporation or externally for mmarketing, branding, or public relations, purposes are called corporate blogs,
Question blogging
is a type of blog that answers questions. Questions can be submitted in the form of a submittal form, or through email or other means such as telephone or VOIP. Qlogs can be used to display shownotes from podcasts or the means of conveying information through the internet. Many question logs use syndication such as RSS as a means of conveying answers to questions.
By media type
A blog comprising videos is called a vlog, one comprising links is called a linklog, a site containing a portfolio of sketches is called a sketchblog, or one comprising photos is called a photoblog. Blogs with shorter posts and mixed media types are called tumbleblogs. Blogs that are written on typewriters and then scanned are called typecast or typecast blogs; see typecasting (blogging)
A rare type of blog hosted on the Gopher Protocol is known as a Phlog.
By device
Blogs can also be defined by which type of device is used to compose it. A blog written by a mobile device like a mobile phone or PDA could be called a moblog. One early blog was Wearable Wireless Webcam, an online shared diary of a person's personal life combining text, video, and pictures transmitted live from a wearable computer and Eye Tap device to a web site. This practice of semi-automated blogging with live video together with text was referred to a sousveillance.. Such journals have been used as evidence in legal matters.[citation needed]
By genre.
Some blogs focus on a particular subject, such as political blogs, travel blogs, house blogs, fashion blogs, project blogs, education blogs, niche blogs, classical music blogs, quizzing blogs and legal blogs (often referred to as a blawgs) or dreamlogs. While not a legitimate type of blog, one used for the sole purpose of spamming is known as a Splog.
Community and cataloging
The Blogosphere
The collective community of all blogs is known as the blogosphere. Since all blogs are on the internet by definition, they may be seen as interconnected and socially networked, through blogrolls, comments, linkbacks (refbacks, trackbacks or pingbacks) and backlinks. Discussions "in the blogosphere" have been used by the media as a gauge of public opinion on various issues. A collection of local blogs is sometimes referred to as a bloghood.
Blog search engines
Several blog search engines are used to search blog contents, such as Bloglines, BlogScope, and Technorati. Technorati, which is among the most popular blog search engines, provides current information on both popular searches and tags used to categorize blog postings. Research community is working on going beyond simple keyword search, by inventing new ways to navigate through huge amounts of information present in the blogosphere, as demonstrated by projects like BlogScope.[citation needed]
Blogging communities and directories
Several online communities exist that connect people to blogs and bloggers to other bloggers, including BlogCatalog, MyBlogLog, and YULBlog, a combination online and offline community for people with blogs based in Montreal.
Blogging and advertising
It is common for blogs to feature advertisements either to financially benefit the blogger or to promote the blogger's favorite causes. The popularity of blogs has also given rise to "fake blogs" in which a company will create a fictional blog as a marketing tool to promote a product.
Popularity
Researchers have analyzed the dynamics of how blogs become popular. There are essentially two measures of this: popularity through citations, as well as popularity through affiliation (i.e. blogroll). The basic conclusion from studies of the structure of blogs is that while it takes time for a blog to become popular through blogrolls, permalinks can boost popularity more quickly, and are perhaps more indicative of popularity and authority than blogrolls, since they denote that people are actually reading the blog's content and deem it valuable or noteworthy in specific cases
The blogdex project was launched by researchers in the MIT Media Lab to crawl the Web and gather data from thousands of blogs in order to investigate their social properties. It gathered this information for over 4 years, and autonomously tracked the most contagious information spreading in the blog community, ranking it by recency and popularity. It can therefore be considered the first instantiation of a memetracker. The project is no longer active, but a similar function is now served by tailrank.com.
Blogs are given rankings by Technorati based on the number of incoming links and Alexa Internet based on the Web hits of Alexa Toolbar users. In August 2006, Technorati found that the most linked-to blog on the internet was that of Chinese actress Xu Jinglei.[13] Chinese media Xinhua reported that this blog received more than 50 million page views, claiming it to be the most popular blog in the world. Technorati rated Boing Boing to be the most-read group-written blog.
Gartner forecasts that blogging will peak in 2007, leveling off when the number of writers who maintain a personal Web site reaches 100 million. Gartner analysts expect that the novelty value of the medium will wear off as most people who are interested in the phenomenon have checked it out, and new bloggers will offset the number of writers who abandon their creation out of boredom. The firm estimates that there are more than 200 million former bloggers who have ceased posting to their online diaries, creating an exponential rise in the amount of "dotsam" and "netsam" — that is to say, unwanted objects on the Web (analogous to flotsam and jetsam).
Blurring with the mass media
Many bloggers, particularly those engaged in participatory journalism, differentiate themselves from the mainstream media, while others are members of that media working through a different channel. Some institutions see blogging as a means of "getting around the filter" and pushing messages directly to the public. Some critics worry that bloggers respect neither copyright nor the role of the mass media in presenting society with credible news. Bloggers and other contributors to user-generated content are behind Time magazine naming their 2006 person of the year as "you".
Many mainstream journalists, meanwhile, write their own blogs — well over 300, according to CyberJournalist.net's J-blog list. The first known use of a blog on a news site was in August 1998, when Jonathan Dube of The Charlotte Observer published one chronicling Hurricane Bonnie.
Some bloggers have moved over to other media. The following bloggers (and others) have appeared on radio and television: Duncan Black (known widely by his pseudonym, Atrios), Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit), Markos Moulitsas Zúniga (Daily Kos), Alex Steffen (Worldchanging) and Ana Marie Cox (Wonkette). In counterpoint, Hugh Hewitt exemplifies a mass-media personality who has moved in the other direction, adding to his reach in "old media" by being an influential blogger. Equally many established authors, for example Mitzi Szereto have started using Blogs to not only update fans on their current works but also to expand into new areas of writing.
Blogs have also had an influence on minority languages, bringing together scattered speakers and learners; this is particularly so with blogs in Gaelic languages. Minority language publishing (which may lack economic feasibility) can find its audience through inexpensive blogging.
There are many examples of bloggers who have published books based on their blogs, e.g., Salam Pax, Ellen Simonetti, Jessica Cutler, ScrappleFace. Blog-based books have been given the name blook. A prize for the best blog-based book was initiated in 2005, the Lulu Blooker Prize. However, success has been elusive offline, with many of these books not selling as well as their blogs. Only blogger Tucker Max cracked the New York Times Bestseller List.argest environmental portals.
Early blogs were simply manually updated components of common Web sites. However, the evolution of tools to facilitate the production and maintenance of Web articles posted in reverse chronological order made the publishing process feasible to a much larger, less technical, population. Ultimately, this resulted in the distinct class of online publishing that produces blogs we recognize today. For instance, the use of some sort of browser-based software is now a typical aspect of "blogging". Blogs can be hosted by dedicated blog hosting services, or they can be run using blog software, or on regular web hosting services.
Rise in popularity
After a slow start, blogging rapidly gained in popularity. Blog usage spread during 1999 and the years following, being further popularized by the near-simultaneous arrival of the first hosted blog tools:
Open Diary launched in October 1998, soon growing to thousands of online diaries. Open Diary innovated the reader comment, becoming the first blog community where readers could add comments to other writers' blog entries.

Free Burrito Offer Virals on Twitter
Free Burrito Offer Virals on TwitterRestaurant News reports that a free burrito tweet offer entered on the Costa Vida Twitter account (@costavida) - which had 80 followers at the time - ended up being forwarded to 15,000 people with 2,500 people redeeming the coupon at Costa Vida's mexican restaurants.
Costa Vida said a one-day-only, free-burrito offer to 80 "fans" on Twitter.com was forwarded to 15,000 individuals, prompting more than 2,500 people to redeem the virtual coupon at the chain’s 21 restaurants. "This mobile phone and social media campaign demonstrates the viral power we can tap into with Costa Vida's fans who love our food and are extremely loyal," said Nathan Gardner, chief executive of the Salt Lake City-based chain. "Our first major Twitter initiative also helped encourage new customers to try us - many of whom are now registered Costa Vida Fans." It shows how messages can really spread quickly on Twitter especially when there is a free burrito involved. Source: Be Sure to Leave Your Comments!

New Pac-Man game in development for 30th Anniversary
Makato Iwai, COO of Namco Bandai Games America, has revealed during an interview with Gamasutra that a new Pac-Man game is in the works.
The reason for the new title is to celebrate the game’s 30th Anniversary next year. Leading the development will be Hirokazu Yasuhara, the co-creator and designer on the original Sonic the Hedgehog, meaning hopes are high for something special.
In the interview Iwai-san said:
We are in the midst of making Pac-Man come back because his 30th anniversary is in 2010 actually … As a group, we feel like we should do something to make him come back. So, there’s one project that we started working on, and [Yasuhara is] part of it.
If we see a remake true to the original, but incorporating new gameplay then this could be a game to have. That method has already worked well for the updated Space Invaders games on the DS.
This is certainly one to watch out for next year and hopefully a welcome change from the less than brilliant 3D Pac-Man games we have seen over the last few generations of consoles.

What is your Blog worth?
Ever wondered if its possible to sell your blog and how much it might be worth? If you have been a reader of this blog for a while you will know that the original owner sold it last year for $9,500. Not a huge amount in the big business sense, but then again hardly peanuts.
So how do you find out the worth of your blog. Well firstly lets make some assumptions here. You have ad revenue, you have RSS subscribers and you have more than single digit page views everyday.
There is a very useful tool called cube
stat which will do the calculation for you.
As you can see from the screenshot, having entered the URL it returns some pretty nice information. An estimated value, the number of page views and the estimated ad revenue. Nice to be able to track this type of information if you are considering a sale. Of course, an estimated value doesn’t necessarily equate to a sales price, especially in this economy.
If nothing else you can find out the value of your favorite blogs. Be Sure to Leave Your Comments!

Contextual Ads and Affiliate Programs- Why Topics matter
Why Topic Matters
Contextual Ads - Different topics and keywords within topics will trigger different ads in contextual ad programs and as a result will earn different levels ‘per click).
Affiliate Programs - Similarly, different topics will open up different levels of earnings when it comes to affiliate programs. For example a blog about books that uses the Amazon program is only ever likely to make small commissions per sale as the average book might only be worth $20 and the commission with Amazon is generally in the 5-8% range. On the other hand I know of publishers in the financial website game who use affiliate programs that can pay out at $100 per sale.
Indirect Methods - Obviously different opportunities (with different income earning potential) arise for bloggers with a profile in different niches. For example a blogger known for his movie review blog might not have much demand for consulting work but could find a way to syndicate his blog to magazines or newspapers. A blogger with a good profile in the PR industry might not get picked up as a writer in magazines but could land himself a well paying job or some consulting work.
Age of Blog: - a good wine matures with age - as do many profitable blogs (and most profitable businesses for that matter). There are many reasons why this is the case and while some blogs do seem to rise from nowhere to dominate the blogosphere - most do not. Here’s a few reasons why blogs tend to get better with age:
Quantity of content - I find myself saying this to new bloggers repeatedly but don’t expect to get a lot of traffic to your blog until you have a substantial level of content in your archives. Of course quality of content is vital, but at least at some level numbers of posts do count and unless you’re going sell your soul and to get into splogging quantities of content take time.
Search Engine Optimization - While some SEO experts claim they can have you at the top of Search Engines quickly (and some can), sustaining high rankings through legitimate methods means building a site over time. Climbing the rankings in SE’s is the result of many things including good content (lots of it) that gets links from others - both things that take time.
Reputation - Building an online profile and presence takes time n the same way that it takes time in real life. People look for consistency in your blogging overtime and will want to see that you not only talk the talk but walk the walk. As you do this you’ll find your readership grows.
Network - Connected with a good reputation comes networking opportunities. I shudder when I look back at my first blogging efforts and how naive, ill-informed and poorly run they were. I have a long way to go when it comes to learning about the web, blogs, design, writing etc and I stil have alot to learn I guess we really have to take a long time before we actually lern everything there is to know but as long as we try and put forth an effort this is what counts through trial and error we will learn. You can read all the books, blogs and articles you want on blogging (and I’d encourage you to do so) - but so much of what you can learn about blogging for money has to come from on the job experience - which again only comes with time.
Time Invested: Lastly I’ll add that the time a blogger is willing and able to invest into their blog is a factor worth considering. One thing I do know is that if you want to make your blog succeed you also have to invest alot of time into it and I because Im ill cannot do this altho I wish I could blog all the time all day , like a regular job but I cannot. But many of you may be able to invest more time into your blog. This is a bit of a catch 22 situation of course (the more you earn the more time you can put in and the more time you put in the more you can earn) So How Much Can a Blog Earn?
I’m not about to put a definitive answer on it except to say that every blog is different and the evidence that I’ve seen from interacting bloggers and their blogs over the past year is that bloggers are earning anything between nothing at all and millions of dollars. The upper end of the spectrum is of course rare and those earning very little are in the majority, but bloggers earning decent income is becoming increasingly common. Probably the best way to find out what you can earn from a particular blog is to start that blog and test the waters.
Give yourself a time limit of a few months to get a feel for the topic and see how it goes. While it’s important to realize that a few months is not really enough - it is enough to get an understanding for whether it’s a topic you feel you can sustain, what the click values and CTR might be in contextual ads and even to get a feel for what type of readers you’ll attract. This blog is fairly new and I will not lie I only have a few readers visiting but hopefully more readers will find this blog informative and come back and tell their friends about it if not I will just have to keep trying..... If the signs are good - invest more time into it - if they are not, consider trying something else. Be Sure to Leave Your Comments!
Contextual Ads - Different topics and keywords within topics will trigger different ads in contextual ad programs and as a result will earn different levels ‘per click).
Affiliate Programs - Similarly, different topics will open up different levels of earnings when it comes to affiliate programs. For example a blog about books that uses the Amazon program is only ever likely to make small commissions per sale as the average book might only be worth $20 and the commission with Amazon is generally in the 5-8% range. On the other hand I know of publishers in the financial website game who use affiliate programs that can pay out at $100 per sale.
Indirect Methods - Obviously different opportunities (with different income earning potential) arise for bloggers with a profile in different niches. For example a blogger known for his movie review blog might not have much demand for consulting work but could find a way to syndicate his blog to magazines or newspapers. A blogger with a good profile in the PR industry might not get picked up as a writer in magazines but could land himself a well paying job or some consulting work.
Age of Blog: - a good wine matures with age - as do many profitable blogs (and most profitable businesses for that matter). There are many reasons why this is the case and while some blogs do seem to rise from nowhere to dominate the blogosphere - most do not. Here’s a few reasons why blogs tend to get better with age:
Quantity of content - I find myself saying this to new bloggers repeatedly but don’t expect to get a lot of traffic to your blog until you have a substantial level of content in your archives. Of course quality of content is vital, but at least at some level numbers of posts do count and unless you’re going sell your soul and to get into splogging quantities of content take time.

What Others Say About Good Keywords
"Early on, traffic to our site was sporadic. We'd have 1,000 visitors one day and 50 the next. We needed a way to get steady traffic, every day. I looked at other sites and noted their traffic, using a free software package from goodkeywords.com. That software enabled me to look at my competition and measure the popularity of their sites"
Richard Haberkern (an engineer and cameraman in the sports broadcasting and filmmaking industries) quoted in LA Times (LEARNING CURVE; Low-Cost Resources Developed Sales at Cameraman's Web Site The Los Angeles Times; Los Angeles, Calif.; Jun 25, 2001; KAREN E. KLEIN;)

How to Download Images from Your Digital Camera to Your PC
Although most digital cameras come with their own software, Windows Vista has its own built-in wizard for downloading (or importing) images. (If your camera comes with its own downloading software, download your images with that program.) If your camera or card reader is supported within Windows Vista (check the manufacturer’s Web site or the specifications on the side of the box), you can use the Scanner and Camera Wizard to download images:
Enlarge1Connect the cable that came with your camera (or your external card reader) to the corresponding port on your PC.
This port is very likely your PC’s USB port. The Scanner and Camer
a Wizard screen appears when you plug in the USB cable from your camera.Enlarge2If you want to assign an optional tag to the images from this camera, click in the Tag These Pictures text box and type the description.
By default, Vista uses the tag you enter to name the images and videos when they’re imported. For example, if you enter the tag Fun Photos, the filenames are Fun Photos 001.jpg, Fun Photos 002.jpg, and so on.
Enlarge3Click Import to begin downloading the images.
After the download is complete, Windows Vista automatically opens the Windows Photo Gallery with the photos you just downloaded in the pane on the right side of the window.
After the images have been transferred, you can unplug your camera’s cable. If you’re done with your images, you can close the Photo Gallery application.

Top 9 Methods to increase your Alexa Ranking
In order to increase your Alexa ranking you must be proactive in your strategies and plan your steps carefully to succeed. With the right Alexa ranking you can demand higher prices from current advertisers and attract new advertisers just the same.If you want to increase your Alexa ranking, there are a few things you can do right now to get there. Remember in order to move up in your Alexa rank, you have to bump someone out. You are competing for someone else's ranking and you better be willing to do what it takes to achieve a higher ranking.
Below is the Top 9 methods to increase your blog Alexa ranking:1. Sign up for an Alexa traffic exchange program such as http://www.upmyrank.com , the large numbers of users can boost your Alexa ranking dramatically.2. Be sure to install the Alexa toolbar for Internet Explorer and Firefox. Additionally be sure to set your website as the default homepage for both browsers. Be sure to use each browser when you are online as each will have a different toolbar id and may be seen as 2 different users.3. Put up the Alexa rank widget on your website. While the exact effects are unknown, it seems to help give the site a slight boost.4. Encourage others to use the Alexa toolbar. This includes friends, fellow webmasters as well as site visitors. Be sure to link to Alexa's full explanation of their toolbar and tracking system so your readers know what installing the toolbar or extension entails. Additionally you may want to ask your close relatives to install the toolbar and set your homepage as their main site.5. Have co-workers or own a company? Get the Alexa toolbar and SS Firefox extension installed on all computers and set your website as the homepage for all browsers. Perhaps it will be useful to note that this may work only when dynamic or different IPs are used.6. Write or host content about Alexa. Webmaster and bloggers love to hear about ways to increase their Alexa rank. They'll link to you and send you targeted traffic (i.e. visitors with the toolbar already installed). This gradually has effects on your Alexa ranking.7. Publicized your URL in webmaster forums. Webmasters usually have the toolbar installed. You'll get webmasters to visit your website and offer useful feedback. It's also a good way to give back to the community if you have useful articles to share with others. Be careful not to spam boards as you could be banned from the forum or worse have your site terminated by your host.8. Write content that is related to webmasters. This can fall in the category of domain and SEO, two fields in which most webmasters will have the Alexa toolbar installed. Promote your content on social networking websites and webmaster forums. Feel free to place the article on your website!9. Create a webmaster tools section on your website. This is a magnet for webmasters who will often revisit your website to gain access to the tools.Note:* Alexa redirects option is no longer supported by Alexa........ by BlogTactic
