What do we do after we have have written our blog to let the world know about it? Do we just leave it to search engines to index our blog in their search results?
|
| 14:03 : jasonbraganza |
here’s a link to Kevin Kelly’s seminal post http://kk.org/thetechnium/1000-true-fans/
|
| 14:03 : |
ananyo, for now yes
|
| 14:03 : ananyo |
Or do we share it in some popular platforms ?
|
| 14:04 : jasonbraganza |
ananyo, read the link at the end of the blogging post
|
| 14:04 : |
ananyo this one - https://janusworx.com/seth-akimbo-blogging.html. That should address your question quite well
|
| 14:05 : ananyo |
jasonbraganza, Thank you. Will read it
|
| 14:05 : jasonbraganza |
so like Kevin says all you need to make a living, a good day to day lliving, is to have a thousand true fans. That’s all it takes
|
| 14:05 : |
but to build up to that you need time
|
| 14:06 : |
so the earlier you start, the better
|
| 14:06 : |
you make your mistakes early. you can change quickly, and you grow
|
| 14:06 : |
and once you can write well, you use that skill to make your portfolio shine!

do you think django would be as popular as it is if it weren’t for it’s awesome documentation?

Ramit Sethi, shows a simple tactic called the Briefcase Technique to ace any interview
|
| 14:08 : |
https://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com/the-briefcase-technique/
|
| 14:09 : |
You “show” what you’ve done. and what you can do, specifically for the client/interviewer
|
| 14:09 : |
you can’t do that if you can’t write about it!
|
| 14:10 : |
So write ::) write as often as you can.
|
| 14:10 : |
about whatever strikes your fancy
|
| 14:10 : |
you will soon find out what you like writing baout
|
| 14:10 : |
and you’ll find your niche
|
| 14:10 : |
but in the meanwhile, you are also improving your language skills
|
| 14:11 : |
and more importantly, your ability to reason. to see many sides of the same issue
|
| 14:11 : |

jasonbraganza, read about it long time back, if i remember it correctly it has to do with explaining what you know to other in a simpple way
|
| 14:13 : |
will have to read up about it again
|
| 14:13 : jasonbraganza |
you learn something and then you explain that to somebody in your own words
|
| 14:14 : |
That is one of the fastest ways to learn
|
| 14:14 : |
and you can do that so easily by writing a post!

Like I watched a YouTube video and want to convey the same thing in words. Do I need to provide the YouTube link as reference? Just an eg.
|
| 14:28 : jasonbraganza |
man-jain, consistent in quantity? or quality?
|
| 14:28 : man-jain |
Consistent in quantity
|
| 14:28 : jasonbraganza |
annn, yes always. if you have been inspired by someone or you are using someones stuff, credit them
|
| 14:28 : man-jain |
Like in doing all the other things you just leave it.
|
| 14:28 : bhavin192 |
annn, yes, always give the reference, we should always give credits to people, sites from where we learn.
|
| 14:29 : annn |
Then I fear that it feels like copying :P
|
| 14:29 : jasonbraganza |
man-jain, saw my porgramming posts series? :P
|
| 14:29 : |
man-jain here https://janusworx.com/categories/daily-programming.html
|
| 14:29 : bhavin192 |
annn, as long as you don't copy paste whole article as it is, it's not copy
|
| 14:29 : man-jain |
I saved it i would be reading it later
|
| 14:29 : annn |
Ok jasonbraganza bhavin192 Thanks.

annn: not providing references is copying commonly know as plagiarism
|
| 14:30 : man-jain |

avik, it's correct.
|
| 14:33 : annn |
Can my blogs be too short? Like two or three lines, because I need to make it a habit daily and make time for it.
|
| 14:33 : shadowroot |
session started guys ?
|
| 14:33 : annn |
And writing a long one takes so much tine for me.
|
| 14:33 : jasonbraganza |
annn, many of mine are one liners :)

| 14:33 : man-jain |
shadowroot: yes

How to find topics to write about. I wrote something last week but have no idea about my next post
|
| 14:34 : annn |
s/tine/time
|
| 14:34 : jasonbraganza |
j605, i can tell you about what I do
|
| 14:34 : annn |
!
|
| 14:34 : j605 |
shadowroot: stop doing this. You gatecrashed the class last time as well. Please observe what is going on before talking
|
| 14:34 : jasonbraganza |
1. i read so there is always something I want to blab about
|
| 14:35 : avik |
annn, throw in some good shots if you are into photography, and wala, a good post is made, even with a few lines!
|
| 14:35 : jasonbraganza |
j605 2. I keep an open mind during my bath, I get the most amazing ideas then
|
| 14:35 : annn |
avik, nice thanks:)
|
| 14:36 : jasonbraganza |
j605 3. I try to synthesize to common or disparate points across media. something I read reminds me of something I saw or learnt
|
| 14:36 : |
j605 if all else fails, I try to pair one of my photos with a quote :P
|
| 14:36 : |
j605, does that help?
|
| 14:36 : schubisu |
annn, most web content has sharing policies. I hope we will have a session on license models again this year. When using the work of others, always make sure to respect that. To copy without giving credit is not just bad style but can be against the law
|
| 14:36 : j605 |
jasonbraganza: yes, thanks
|
| 14:37 : jasonbraganza |
j605 aah in my more productive moments, I make a list of things to write about and then slowly tackle them one at a time later
|
| 14:37 : annn |
schubisu, ok. I will take care.
|
| 14:37 : jaydeep |

|
| 14:37 : jasonbraganza |
j605, i also batch posts if I’m in a good state. highest I’ve ever written in 3 in one go :)

Can my blogs contain random topics? Or should it be consistent like related to one stuff.
|
| 14:38 : jasonbraganza |
annn, start with whatver you want. the consistent stuff will come with time :)
|

|
| 14:38 : jaydeep |
jasonbraganza, what is the decent frequency of producing blogs per 15 days?
|
| 14:39 : jasonbraganza |
jaydeep, my current decent frequency is two posts daily :P
|
| 14:39 : |
jaydeep, but twice a week or once a week is better. not fortnightly. the more the better when you are starting

sir i will write my first blog today can i share the like of it in our chat tommorrow for the feedback?

shaikh_farhan, no sir please!
|
| 14:40 : jasonbraganza |
shaikh_farhan, you added the feed link to the post? (and no sirs :)
|
| 14:40 : shaikh_farhan |
no
|
| 14:41 : jaydeep |
jasonbraganza, Okay :P, Thanks :)
|
| 14:41 : jasonbraganza |
shaikh_farhan, sure you can. soon once kushal sets up our student planet, we can get to see what every one writes :)
|
| 14:41 : schubisu |
j605, you already seem to have a quite profound knowledge about several things I would love to read more about :) One thing you can always do is summarizing news that you found interesting and add your opinion?
|
| 14:41 : jasonbraganza |
next
|
| 14:41 : |
j605 what schubisu said :) you’re knowledgeable and you’re opinionated. you ought to write :)
|
| 14:42 : bhavin192 |
j605, I feel same about you!

Many times when I read some how-to on a topic, and I blog about it, my post is structured quite similarly to the original post. Is this a bad practice?
|
| 14:43 : jasonbraganza |
storymode7, that’s because the original page is open :) close that page. or if you need it for reference what I do is move to another machine or use pen and paper and write as much as i can without referring back
|
| 14:44 : |
storymode7, also basiic structure being the same is quite ok. but the voice and the words should be your own
|
| 14:45 : storymode7 |
jasonbraganza, that's satisfying :) Thanks!
|
| 14:45 : schubisu |
storymode7, also maybe ask yourself why you blog about that article. You can make it more understandable, or add your opinion or just want to support and spread it. Your post should add something that hasn't been there before.
