First of all your DMs shouldn’t really give you any cause for concern, even though they may be a bit of a pain to have loads, they are generally not a problem, but, if you do want to get rid of them, there is sadly no option on Twitter to delete multiple DMs, so how do you do it?

Some time ago you used to be able to use a program called DM Whacker, but sadly this no longer works on twitter, so my advice would be to use SocialOomph (formally TweetLater), besides been able to do stacks of other things, you can also “purge” your list of DMs from Twitter.

You have a choice of all DMs, older than 7 days and older than 30 days, so you can keep some that you may deem important. Yes it’s that simple.

But remember once your DMs are deleted, that’s it, you will not be able to get them back, they are gone for over, so be careful you don’t delete messages that you want to keep

Several of my fellow bloggers rallied to the call and came up with some fantastic ideas on different topics on what to write about and even places to visit to get ideas. All of which I can use and most probably will do.

So when you do get stuck for anything, you can always count on your friends and if you are a BloggerLuv member then even more so as the blog is called “BloggerLuv” it goes to prove that those in the community are there to help and are willing to take time from their blogging schedules and show some support.

The call also went out on Twitter via BloggerLuv, now how cool is that?

So if you are ever in a predicament where you need a little help from fellow blogger or even a fresh outlook on something, then I would highly recommend getting over to BloggerLuv, also use other social networks by asking others for ideas, ok you may not get everyone answering, but those that do will certainly of helped you out

Most Guest Blogs usually offer you a Social Media link, and who cares if it is No Follow, that’s not what it is there for!  What you need to remember is that when someone recognises your name from a series of advanced posts, it is always a good idea to link to a Twitter, Sphinn, Facebook or Linkedin account!  Interestingly, this was something that I was horribly bad at doing and I generally linked back to our site or to a clients, which although was a nice benefit, didn’t really supply me with all that much.

So I used my Twitter account, and only once…  The first time I used it on my name in a post I got published on a relatively popular blog; I received a bunch of followers!  However you also have the issue that you can only realistically link to one of your social media accounts, so which one should it be?  If you use you Twitter account at least you get the chance to coax in a potential follower!  The only disadvantage is that this is all they get…  Could you provide another Social media account that can give you and your readers more to use!

Linkedin is one of my personal favourites (even though I use a Twitter one here) because it could also be a way for you to gain business!  Twitter gives people the chance to read your work, but Linkedin gives you the chance to tell everyone all of your social media accounts and gives them the opportunity to see all your work.  What better way to get business, get read and find more opporunities that n through guest blogging?

Nearly every blog you visit has them these days and though us bloggers do love to have them on our blogs for those kind enough to click on to share a bit of love and Stumble, ReTweet, Digg, Like ……….. and the list goes on.

As you will see, here on Blazing Minds I have the SexyBookmarks plugin at the bottom of the blog post where readers can share the post they are enjoying on a selection of sites for others to find and also share and though there is a choice there to choose from I was wondering what sites people use the most and which ones are worth having which are not.

So when you’ve finished reading this bloggy post, check out the buttons and use the ones you are listed with, then leave me a comment letting me know which ones you think you would remove, which ones you would like to see and why, then I can take a look to see what are more popular than others.

I have tried to add the popular ones that I use such as Twitter, BlogEngage, StumbleUpon, Digg, Ping.fm and so on, but I’d love my readers input

So after explaining that blogs are much, much more, I decided to knock up a post, for those of you out there in computer land that when they hear the word “blog” it sends shivers down their spines.

OK. Blogs are much more than just for writing about how to make money and how to get loads of hits to your blog to enable you to get more money, yes I know I have been guilty in the past of blogging about SEO (Search Engine Optimization), but, I don’t bang on about it every single post.

I do have my favourite subjects such as Twitter and it has been a popular subject here on Blazing Minds, but I would personally like to think that my blog has a bit of something for everyone and aren’t really afraid to remove myself from a set niche and go into the world of blogging with an open mind.

Blogging is fun, it’s a chance for the blog owner to vent their thoughts, or on some blogs their darkest secrets, other even use the blog as a way of getting their day-to-day chores off their chest. Some post recipes etc on a daily basis, some of my favourites

When it comes down to it, there are loads of SEO blogs out there and we’ve all probably read them and gleamed as much information from them as possible, but there are so many other blogs out there that deserve that illusion of only been there to make money removed from the thoughts of people who do not understand blogs.

So when someone says to you that blogs are only for one thing, then put them straight, send them to this post and other sites that are not in a set niche of SEO and making money from blogging, they’ll be surprised in what they can find

Google Buzz will bring your social networking direct into your Gmail or Google Reader along side with your RSS feeds.

Click here to view the embedded video.

The ability to add all your social networks in one place also have a good clean view of what’s going in the Google Buzz world is nice, but, it’s yet another option for us to waste what little time we have these days.

But saying that it is nice that rather than only having 140 characters to play with on Twitter you can ave as much as you want and also on the plus side, it is a lot easier to keep up with conversations that you may have started via Google Buzz.

I think that at the end of the day there is going to be a division of users, Twitter, Facebook and Google Buzz. But hasn’t it always been like that, I remember the glory days when MySpace used to hold the internet users attention, but slowly that started to fall by the curbside and people moved from there to Facebook, so with this happen with Google Buzz, it’s a thought and I suppose we will all just have to wait and see

So now after over 500 posts, nearly 4,000 comments and several Guest Bloggers posting on the blog, Blazing Minds has really got to a point where it is something that has done better than I originally hoped for, those that are writing constructive comments have certainly helped and since starting the blog I would like to think my blogging has improved, though I do keep to my style, if I didn’t then it just wouldn’t be me

What started out as something just to post about bizarre things has now taken on the roll of bringing blogging tips, twitter tips, reviews, humour and much more, sometimes I think it’s turned into a technology based blog and then in a matter of days we have new posts that change the genre of the blog again.

I am so proud of Blazing Minds and how it has developed since I started it and to those that Guest Post here, you have helped Blazing Minds improve its visitors and rankings. So then, here’s to many, many more posts, comments and even more mixed bag posts for everyone to enjoy

I’m sure you need others to visit and read your blog especially if you are a productive writer. You need someone to give feedback or asking you about your article or start a discussion on your comment box. I can say that you need visitors or traffic to your brand new blog.

I saw few blogs with great contents but they didn’t go to the surface. This is about strategies for a blog. If you are really a beginner on blogging, you don’t have to be afraid that no one will take a look your blog. The right promotion and marketing your blog, sure people will come to visit your blog. If you are a productive writer, so you have to promote your works, tell the world about your works.

There’s a few easy ways to promote your blog and start getting traffic to your brand new blog.

1. Join Blogger Community. Yes, its a must for new blogger. Why blogger community? Because you can find other blogger like you, from the expert until beginner like you. Create profile and don’t forget to put your avatar on your profile.  The goal is to get connect with other blogger.
2. Start Leaving Comments. This is what I did when I started my blogging journey, and I’m still do leaving comments until today. After you find other blogger on your new community, try to visit as many as blog you can for one day, and left a nice comment but do not spamming. Nice and useful comment will attract the blog owner to visit your blog.
3. Social Network. Using your network to promote your new blog, off line and online social network. Try to put your blog url on your business card, tell your  family and friends that you build a new blog. Using Facebook and Twitter to promote your blog. Don’t forget to put your url on your profile.

I’m sure your blog starting get more visitors with these activities. Leaving Comment is my favorite promotion tool to get more traffic.  Additional tips, try to leave comment on the same niche blog and high PR blog.

It all started when I was a little bored so rather than posting about Twitter Websites, Comment Luv or Blogging SEO I started using PicJoke and Superlame to have a bit of fun and tweak some pictures. Both which are free to use and you can have some seriously good results from them.

With Picjoke you can upload a photo to one of the many effects and then you can create your own tweaked Digital Photograph and save it to disk for use anywhere you like.

Similarly with Superlame, you can upload your picture and then add speech bubbles, to make your own comic type frame.

So here are the pictures that I did on the above mentioned websites, just click on them to view them:

So try the sites out for yourself, it’s all a bit of good clean fun

I often said this time and again that it’s about time I got rid of my old phone an upgraded to something a little more special, my phone is very dated compared to a lot of the phones on the market at the moment and it’s had its day, it is a great phone to use, but I would like something more modern and one which has a stack of features enabling me to use in my busy lifestyle on the net and off.

So looking for a phone I noticed the LG Chocolate Touch which has the basics of using a phone such as making calls, texting and a standard these days of a 3.2MP Camera, but the camera also doubles as a recorder with image editor and it’s a touch screen phone, now how cool is that

Not only that, but the phone also has a music player with Dolby Mobile technology for crystal-clear sound quality, nice one for any music fan out there, that wants to hear their music in superb quality. It also has Sweet Visual Effects and features, including Rhythmical Beat that vibrates the handset to the beat of the music.

Another touch which I do like is the One-touch Social Network Message Key for easy use of Mobile Blogging (Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc.) this will make it so much easier to hop on to my social networks and start Twitting etc, far easier than the phone I have at the moment!. Also Mobile Media which will allow me to have top-notch text, picture, video, and voice messaging, including Visual Voicemail.

Now I am seriously looking into getting one these phones and it does indeed sound like it would be a great phone to use and would certainly make my Twitting and blogging that little bit more easier when I’m on the move.
