Share in Blogs with Authority

What Sulit has done in its previous promotions -- i.e., post a badge linking to their website to your blog and you get a chance to win prizes -- is downright easy to manipulate.

They should have at least limited their contest participants to those who have blogs that have authority. You don't get exposure -- much less link juices -- from blogs that sprout from out of nowhere, whose authors have no intention of keeping/maintaining. In the first place, they are considered spam blogs! They should include in the mechanics that only blogs with at least a PR of 1 are eligible for the contest.

Creating a Windows Global Keyboard Shortcut (Hotkey)

You have this favorite application that you always access from time to time? You want to quickly access the same by a keyboard shortcut, say Ctrl + Alt + your favorite key, while being at any window at any time?

I used this procedure to quickly access my favorite calculator application, Moffsoft Freecalc, by assigning a global keyboard shortcut of F7.

This article describes how to create a keyboard shortcut for a program in Windows XP. Note that this feature works only with program shortcuts on the desktop or the Start menu. This feature does not work if the desktop shortcut is a shortcut to another shortcut.

Creating a keyboard shortcut

1. Right-click the desktop shortcut, and then click Properties.
2. On the Shortcut tab, click in the Shortcut Key box.
3. Press the keyboard combination that you want to use to start the program. The shortcut combination must consist of one character (a letter, number, or symbol) plus at least two of the following three keys: CTRL, ALT, and SHIFT.
4. Click OK.

Who Wants to Eat Spam?

Statistics say that Blogger/Blogspot is the number 1 blogging platform in the world right now. With that number I suppose comes the number 1 platform to accumulate the most number of abandoned blogs.

Furthermore, with the most number of abandoned blogs comes the most number of spam comments who went unmoderated.

Thus, Blogger/Blogspot could probably bag home the award for the top one spammer in the world.

Now, who wants to eat that spam?
