My Blogging Setup

When I started this blog, I had one intention. The intention was for me to keep a little record of what's going on. I chose to blog over keeping a journal because it is easier perhaps, it has the potential to make money, but most of all to share with others. I use StumbleUpon at least a half hour every day. Through my excessive stumbling I have come across several software gems for blogging and staying connected. The first of these is Flock.

Flock is a Mozilla browser based on Firefox, but it has a few great features. It has a toolba

r on the left hand side of the screen. In this toolbar you can view live Facebook feeds, your Flickr account, or the latest Diggs. There is another bar along the top of the window. This is the media bar for viewing Facebook pics and videos, YouTube, Flickr, or many other media streams. My favorite part of the browser is how Facebook is built right in. Everywhere you look, you are connected. There is even the chat window at the bottom of the screen. It is absolutely wonderful. I strongly recommend that everyone download and try this amazing browser. Two thumbs up!

My next favorite thing these days is called Zemanta. Zemanta is a great tool for blogging, sending email, or posting on forums. It is a great window that sits along side the compose windows of online tools and suggests relevant photos links, and tags for your post. This is the reason my posts contain manymore links and better pictures than I ever had before. These are two EPIC tools that anyone who spends any amount of time online should have in their arsenal. I genuinely hope that people take advantage. Anyway, that's all for now folks!
