Do You Make Your Living Blogging?
Blogging News That’s really the dream for a lot of us, isn’t it? To walk away from the 9-5 job and be able to make ends meet with our blog(s)? According to this article in the Wall Street Journal, almost half a million people in the U.S. already are. According to the report — which is based on numbers from Technorati — 2% of bloggers make their living from blogging, and those that get more than 100,000 unique visitors a month make an ...

Blogging News On my main site, Plagiarism Today, I write a great deal about copyright issues and how they affect webmasters, artists, bloggers and anyone else who publishes to the Web. I am also the first to admit that copyright law can be very boring. For every case like The Pirate Bay trial that grips the world, there are literally hundreds of dull, though equally important, lawsuits and criminal cases going on. Many times, reading about copyright law can ...

Blogging News Those of you who read my post about Diggs new toolbar last week will know that I wasn’t the biggest fan of it (neither was Jonathan Bailey). Infact, I added a frame blocker to BloggingTips and removed the Digg vote button because of it. So I was pleased to see that Digg are responding to the backlash. John Quinn yesterday announced (Yet) Another DiggBar Update. In the post he outlined two main changes which will be getting rolled out ...
Continue readingFraming is on The Rise and it’s Bad News
Blogging News As Kevin mentioned in his earlier post about the new DiggBar, there are a lot of reasons why Webmasters don’t want their sites placed in frames. Framing prevents viewers from viewing the full site, it alters the URL of the page, making it harder for people to bookmark the site and allows sites to sell ads against other people’s content. In addition to that, there is also the risk that they could make the content inaccessible to the ...

Blogging News Seems like everyday there’s another story about a newspaper downsizing, going online only, or shutting its doors completely. It’s not particularly surprising: Online readership is growing while paper circulation continues to shrink. Despite it’s growth, though, online news does not generate near the revenue newspapers do. This makes many wonder what will happen to investigative journalism as newspapers disappear. Here’s ...

Blogging News The hosted comments market is definitely heating up. Part of it is blog owners wanting some control over who comments without requiring visitors to create yet another login. A bigger part, I think, is the growth of Tumblr, which is becoming popular — even with people that already have a blog — but does not have its own commenting system. Regardless of the reason, there’s already a number of players in this market, including ...
Continue readingFairShare: Tracking Who Is Reusing Your Content
Blogging News Copying is so prevalent online, I’m not surprised anymore when I see my work show up on another site. For me, it’s not a big deal, since most of my work is published under a Creative Commons license, but for many bloggers it’s a real issue. For full-time writers, copyright violations mean lost revenue. And while there are ways to try to find those violations, that’s time away from writing, which means even more lost ...

Blogging News Trackbacks, pingbacks, Google Alerts… There are lots of ways to find out who’s talking about your blog posts. But it’s more difficult to know if you’ve been mentioned on Twitter, where a variety of URL-shortening services disguise the final destination. Now there’s a way you can tap into those conversations. TweetBacks, by Dan Zarrella, is a service that finds links to your blog that have been posted to Twitter via ...
