Few days back I wrote a blog post for WordCamp happening in India at Jabalpur. It was really exiting to be Speaker at India’s 2nd WordCamp.

My topic was “Content Soup for your Blog” in which I was going to talk all about Content as WordCamp Speaker. I also have great company of very learned speakers too.

To be honest to reach Jabalpur was a bit long and tiring journey. There was a flight from Mumbai to Jabalpur, so either I need to go to Mumbai for catching flight else I can go by train from Ahmedabad. Then I called R. Bhavesh, founder of Templactic and speaker of WordCamp Jabalpur. Bhavesh was travelling by train which is having 15 hours journey so I just joined Bhavesh during train journey. It was really nice company of him and we discuss a lot on WordPress, Entrepreneurship, UX & UI, E-Commerce in India and lot many other stuff.

Finally we arrived Jabalpur on 14^th Midnight, We had started our journey on 14^th Morning. After reaching hotel, we feel that Gaurav had done great job and booked nice rooms for us.

And the Judgement day comes. We wake up morning, got ready and drive to venue. It was nice hall with 1 GBPS WiFi connection. We started our day with Mohit’s Presentation and one by one speakers started coming, during presentations of other speakers I also got Hot company of Coffee (Don’t think else )

Post lunch countdown starts, After R Bhavesh & Aniket’s presentation it was my turn to speak at WordCamp Jabalpur.

R. Bhavesh talked about how you can use WordPress core features / Technologies to gain optimum output. I must say that was really impressive for people like me who don’t want to jump much into coding. He showed real power of WordPress and how effective developers can use it.

Finally it’s time for me to go and stage and rock the WordCamp Jabalpur, infect I did the same. It was interactive session with audience, they love Content as well as Image during presentation, BTW I consider Image as part of content. During my presentation I need to stop three times due to some or other reason but still there no disappointments from audience. My spontaneous reaction over situation worked well.

The moment I finished my speech, I checked tweet and surprised to see reaction over twitter. People really liked it and started tweeting about it. Mahol & SEOCrest’s tweet was so fast. I also got compliments from my fellow speakers. I was the last speaker of the day.

Once we finish this we moved to “Dhuadhaar”, a water fall. It was wonderful and incredible. We spent 30-40 min there and then proceed for dinner.

Next morning starts with Amit Kumar Singh. He talked really inside story of WordPress. That technical might be for students but Internet Marketing Consultant like me should understand how effective work they can do with WordPress.

During the WordCamp Jabalpur, I was highly impress by Gautam, 16 year old kid. He just kid due to his age but he is expert mind who win Google Coder competition. He was really impressive kid. The knowledge he was carrying was awesome.

The most interactive session on 2^nd day was by Ashish Sharma. Ashish really understand pain points of students and guide them how you can solve it using WordPress. I guess everyone likes his presentation. Once Ashish is done, Joshu keep rocking it followed by Soumya Pratihari.

Indeed it was really great experience to be part of India’s 2^nd WordCamp as Speaker. I learn lot many new things, made new friends, got new followers and now feeling that let’s grow together.

Yes ! You read it right. WordPress lovers are meeting at Jabalpur, MP. Many of you must know that WordCamp is event designed for WordPress lovers meet ups. I also love wordpress as wordpress is versatile, You can install lot many themes even Domain Parking themes, Plugin to make is more better as well as plugins for securing wordpress or Floating Internal Link Juice.

Update : I am also going to speak during the event on “Content Soup of your Blog“

WordPress is the world’s leading brand of blogging platforms. It’s popular, functional and fashionable, and it’s embedded in the Search Engine Optimization framework concept, a common currency in the world’s best blogs. It’s also a very good learning platform for those who want to develop their own blogs, particularly for commercial blogs and technical blogs.

WordPress as an icon

The other big advantage of WordPress is that it’s a readily accepted format for those wanting to source materials from blogs. It’s a good looking type of blog, and the famous WordPress themes are an additional incentive for those looking for ready made, “all options” blog content.

This level of functionality is particularly important for the big, multi-category blogs which consume large amounts of materials. It’s easy, dependable, and above all will run practically anything and any sort of plug-in you want to use.

WordPress in the marketplace

WordPress has other advantages which aren’t quite so obvious. The format of the WordPress blogs is also now a standard, and extremely familiar to blog audiences. They know how to navigate on WordPress blogs and that’s a solid marketing concept.

Like a newspaper, a blog must be easily navigable, particularly some of the giant, visual-intensive blogs where the deluge of visual information has to be made manageable for the audience. WordPress is so simply laid out that it’s almost impossible to get lost on blogs, even those about WordPress themes, which are in almost plague proportions across the internet.

Why the big emphasis on themes?

The themes are also functional. The very high level of adaptability of the WordPress themes is the key to their success. A WordPress theme can be anything, and many bloggers love their themes. This is a critical factor in the aesthetics of any blog, and all bloggers will be well aware of the limitations of a blog with a “ho hum” theme.

Themes are critical in presentation. The typical corporate blog, for example, has to look professional, and absolutely must be functional. The quick and most certain way to lose an audience is to have a blog which doesn’t even operate properly.

WordPress has performed a basic function of marketing by generating the huge number of themes it now has. “Positioning” is one of the major principles of marketing, and the tailor made theme has been a big positive in getting WordPress accepted as the de facto global standard for blog platforms.

The WordPress Look and Feel

Perhaps most effective of all is something which isn’t even visible- WordPress now carries a lot of the world’s information. It’s the platform everyone trains on, everyone knows how to use, and it has that level of credibility for professional contributors on all levels.

The “WordPress Effect” is probably the most effective method of presentation, having instant impact combined with these levels of high familiarity and ease of use. If you’re looking at starting a blog, look at WordPress first.

Again this article is also in line of 4 things Bloggers should learn from 3 Idiots which I wrote back in January at Shoutmeloud.

When I had seen this movie, Once upon a time in Mumbai, then I think Let’s Rewind blogging life I had seen till now and write one post which talks about Bloggers in the line of Once upon a time in Mumbai. If you keep reading this blog post you will keep getting feel of the movie and It’s wonderful dialogs.

I started my blogging life with Blogspot like many other blogger and then gradually as I become more familiar with Blogging I just do Blogger to WordPress migration.

So let’s Start Rewinding Blogging life what I learn till now.

Content churaya nahi Banaya jata hai

Image Credit : Official Movie Site

You must listen the Dialog that “Himmat batai nahi Dikhai jati hai” in the same manner when we want to blog about something then we must have guts to write our own and creative content. You must listen 100 times that Content is KING and yes one more time I will tell you Content is King. The more unique content you write the more probability to get good ranking. Google don’t like duplicate content.

When you are doing plagiarism (content theft) you are harming you blog. It as good as Smoking Habit, you are not going to die in single day but still smoking harms. If you are have very good blog and you want your content to be safe then you can protect yourself from Content Theft by WordPress plugin.

I forgot to mention that this Title is (Content churaya) is suggested by Internet Marketing Journal Co- Founder, Dipali Thakkar.

Jab Dost banane se kamm ho sakata hai to Dushman Kyu banaye

Many bloggers fails to take advantage for Social Media and Comment on others blog. When you are in Bloggers world then you start to do compliment each other not competition with each other. Commenting on Others blog can give you advantage of Backlink, New Visitors, Personal Branding, new Contacts and so on. While you are also active on Social Media then It will be added advantage you can use this to making news Friends and Facebook Fans too.

Social Media is power tool for bloggers. You can cerate your own Brand among your niche. It not only helps you have more visitors but also helping you to take advantage of Viral Marketing.

Aaj ki Blog post kaal pe chhod du to aaj Bura man jayega

Stop smiling guys and let’s be serious. This is for keep continuity in blogging. You should keep blogging on regular intervals. It should not like that in day/week you post 3-4 post and then disappear for few time and again come with some random post.

It is also not mean that you should keep blogging Daily. You must have regular interval in you blog. Daily, Weekly, Fortnight etc. If you are updating your blog regular your visitor must be knowing that He/She will get next update after certain interval. If you get time once to write more then one blog post then I will advise you to use schedule posting. This facility is available in all major blogging platform.

Sher se Haal Chalaoge to Kishan to marega hai…

Many time you might be read that Niche Blog can help you to earn more and get some specific kind of visitors (based on topic). This is very true said but you have to keep in mind above said Dialogue  (dialog) that Don’t try to pull the Cart if you are Lion. If you are planning to have niche blog only for Adsense then think again. Choose your topic wisely.

If you feel “Nano Technology” buzzing thing and you should blog about it, but think before act. Just check your strength for that Topic. Just take an example if  you are Commerce Student then why don’t you to start blog about Financial topic or economics compare to any Pure Scientifically subjects.

and Finally

Zindagi Ho to Blogger jaisy

Yeah ! Being blogger is can give lot many things. Starting from Flexible timing, To work with you Passionate Subjects, Name and Fame and of-course Money too. If you are part time blogger then It might be some extra money for you and If you are full time Blogger then literally Sky is limit.

In concussion I just want to say don’t forgot to share your “Dua” (comments) about this post. Apart from this I am visiting Mumbai Bloggers meet on 15th Aug. Any one from you visiting there ? Comment here. We will try to meet there.

Everyone wants to have Good look and feel for their own blog. WordPress is providing really nice blogging platform which is used by many people like me. I used to share Blogging Tips which can help you make your blog better and sometime I used write about WordPress plug-in which can help you to improve your blog look or performance.

Today I would like to share revive of Cu3er Post Elements which is WordPress plug-in based on cu3er technology. This is plug-in is good to show Image plays. If anyone is having Image Blog he/she can use this plug-in to show as Slider or one can use it to Portfolio.

What is Cu3er ?

According to the developer of this plug-in  : CU3ER : flash 3D image slider you will love! CU3ER is:

• FREE
• EASY to set up
• CUSTOMIZABLE via XML
• TAILORED to provide a UNIQUE look & feel
• INSPIRING
• FUN-to-USE

WordPress Cu3er Plug-in

If you talking only about Slider then Smooth Slider is my first choice but if you are looking for something really Stylish yet simple then Cu3er Post Elements is really good choice.

You just need to define from which category you want to publish the post, how many post you want to publish, height & Wight of the slider and few other setting.

Cu3er Post Elements (WordPress Cu3er Plug-in) Review

Personally I feel this plug-in need to add few more features but still it really useful for newbie blogger or not techy bloggers.

Positive :

• Easy to Use
• Fast Implementation
• No Coding require
• Auto fetching Images & Text
• User Define Slider size

Need to Improve:

• Customer Selection for specific post
• Images is not comes in centre (User define Image location )
• More control control for look & feel.

As I mention earlier this plug-in is really good for them who are using Image Blog, newbie, Don’t know much coding etc. If you can check my other post on How to protect content Theft ? or How to add Google Buzz etc.

If you have not subscribe for free email alert from my blog just do it now.

When we are writing some good Innovative things as blog post and if some still it and post on their blog like their own content it huts. Don’t you think so ? Recently I wrote an Article at Internet Marketing Journal about Reconsider 5 Things for Google Adsense. It take two years to understand Adsend logic better, I did lot many experiment and not more do know about Google Adsense but with in a Day It got Still by one Gentleman, who is Blog url is having nice word “Legend” , I got surprise if he is really Legend then he need not to copy the content.

Content Theft is one of the big issue in blogosphere now. I was looking for solution how I can come out form this issue and I got one nice Plugin WP-CopyProtect. This plugin is easy to Install and do nice job. WP-CopyProtect will Disable Right Click Section and Disable Text Selection so you are out of basic worry. Still this is not 100% way out but of course It helps a lot to get it theft in very easy manner.

I would like to say thanks to Chetan Gole for making this wonderful Plugin. I had install this plugin Today and it seems good as of now. If you want to share your experience about Content Theft, Blog Post Protection or about this Plugin just comment here. Share your views about using this plugin as well.
