Starting Your Own Blog
I was sitting in my local cybercafé yesterday; I like to get away from my “home office” from time to time and it’s a great place to go for a cup of Espresso and to meet interesting people. The rather attractive lady sitting next to me was typing away and, when she had finished, I asked her what she was writing so furiously. It turned out she was a blogger and she was updating her web site. She was really interested in vegetarian cookery and she was adding a new restaurant review to her blog.
If you spend any time at all online, you can notice blogs are becoming popular; and they are a great way of building an online presence without the need for any technical knowledge. A blog is an abbreviation of the term “web log”. Quite a few years ago, web surfers began collecting information and links that they encountered during their online travels. As time passed , they started to develop their own web logs. These blogs enabled them to update the information and links as often as they wished. Blogs are more permanent than posts to an online forum or to a discussion list; they are much more dynamic than the traditional home pages. They are also more personal than journaling, and more public than diaries. A blog is often a mixture of what is happening in a person’s life and what is happening on the Web. So, there are as many unique types of blogs as there are people.
There are a few common characteristics of a blog, but there may be slight variations. Some blogs provide brief descriptions of links within the chosen theme of the blog. Some others contain commentaries and links to the news of the day. Other ones are political, intellectual, or merry. Blogs are posts that are short, informal and deeply personal no matter what the topic of discussion is. They can be characterized by their conversational tone. Two of blogs’ greatest strengths are their ability to filter and spread information to a wide audience, and the position outside the mainstream of mass media.
If a person has a web presence but is disappointed with a static homepage, then blogging provides an ideal platform. There are many different options available to the new an experienced blogger alike. Some blog scripts are available to install on your own domain and these require at least a basic understanding of FTP and HTML. There are many hosted blog services available, some free and some paid. If you are serious about blogging, then I would strongly recommend you to use the best system that you can afford. My recommended choice of hosted blogging service would have to be the system that includes a wide variety of high quality features that enables you to generate an income from all your readers.

THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING
Positive thinking is a practice which requires your certain mental attitude. Someone who has a positive thinking always foresees happiness, good health, success, and a positive outcome of almost every situation and event t h a t takes place. A person with a positive thinking expects that things will always work out and they often do. When you have a positive thinking, you easily find answers to even the most complex problems and challenges.
(1) ________
Before you can work out a positive thinking pattern, you first have to realize t h a t positive thinking is not something you do from time to time. Positive thinking is a practice, one that you work with daily and apply regularly. By making it a daily habit you create a positive thinking mindset that allows you to avoid potentially negative and challenging situations, and helps you to resolve dilemmas quickly and easily.
(2) ________
You will attract what you think about regularly. So if you believe that life is difficult, you will attract situations that will make your life difficult. Thus you should start paying close attention to what you think. Every day catch yourself thinking, ask yourself — what am I thinking about? Is this thought positive or negative? Does it help me to improve my life or does it make my life more difficult?
(3) ________
While they will help to develop a positive thinking pattern, it can take some time to see real results from reciting positive affirmations repeatedly. That's because it depends on what you want and where you are in life. To create a positive thinking mindset, your positive affirmations should be said daily, should be in the present tense, and should be said in your voice. Working with affirmation CDs is also helpful.
(4) ________
See yourself succeeding at what you want to achieve. This will help to boost the results of your affirmations and develop a stronger positive thinking pattern. When you visualize, your subconscious associates the image with the affirmation and helps you to achieve the success you want sooner.
(5) _________
When you're positive, when you have a positive thinking mindset and when you work with positive affirmations daily, you begin to spread the positive emotions. When this happens, you naturally begin to attract positive people and positive situations into your life.
A. Spread the Positive Energy
В. Create Positive Thoughts that Lead to a Positive Thinking Mindset
C. We Are All Connected
D. Visualize Your Success
E. Involve Your Friends and Family
