What do you think a "Blogger" do?

carvey @carvey (54) • Philippines 31 Aug 07

For you what is blog, I mean what would be your thoughts about blog because I have no better idea for that. According to them you can earn a lot of money for this kind of doings. I can't explain for that cause I did not try it.

Aghorri The only way to make money from blogging is through advertising. Advertisers pay to have a part of your page for their ad. These can be simple one-word ads, called text link ads, or larger and more graphical adverts. Have a look at just about any blog and you...

Is there a trick to starting GOOD discussions?

mehale @mehale (2200) • United States 1 Sep 07

I have tried several times to start discussions and usually don't get much in the way of responses. Even when the discussion is on a popular topic. What I am wondering is if there is a trick to starting discussions that get good...

Aghorri I think the trick is to share something interesting about yourself. Not whether you like blue cheese or have brown eyes, but something much more personal, an event that changed you or an embarrassing experience, a weakness you have, anything that makes you...

Easiest articles to write....

scribe1 @scribe1 (1203) • United States 1 Sep 07

From my experience, I have learned that how-to articles are not only the easiest type to write, but are very popular with many editors. To see what I mean, flip through the pages of practically any magazine and you are bound to...

Aghorri It's certainly true that articles and books on practical subjects are the easiest to sell. And I' glad that you've used that fact to further your writing career. My only question is this: what if you don't know how to do anything...?

Isn't it rude for people to continue to talk even when you've taken a phone call

ranitam22 @ranitam22 (1146) • United States 19 Aug 07

I had a co worker who was a bit of a talker. It didn't matter what the conversation was they always had a similar situation or had something to say. At times I would go home with headaches from the constant running of the mouth....

Aghorri Of course it's rude (and also very irritating). But consider this: the telephone is the rudest invention in the world - it doesn't care what you're doing or who you're talking to, it just yells its little head off until you answer it. It is also used to push...

What is the best meal for the least amount of money that you ever had?

writersedge @writersedge (22563) • United States 19 Aug 07

Not counting being a guest at someone's table, what is the best meal for the least amount of money that you ever had? How did you come by this meal? How much was the meal? What would that meal normally cost then?

Aghorri This is going back a long way but you did ask the question. ;) In the sixties I was a student at a South African university although I lived in Zimbabwe. After the first journey there by train, I swore I would never go by train again - it took three nights...

Is anyone familiar with the band Rogue Wave?

AnjaP @Rollo1 (16679) • Boston, Massachusetts 9 Aug 07

I have recently become acquainted with their music and I think the band is very reminiscent of sixties folk minstrels and artists like Paul Simon and Donovan. Has anyone out there heard the band and if so, do you think their sound...

1 response

Aghorri Hey, I've heard Rogue Wave! They're pretty cool and getting better, I think. There's a new album coming out soon and I heard a preview of one of the songs - really good. Maybe they will be the next smash hit.

Dont Leave Alonso

Philxav @Philxav (733) • Malaysia 16 Aug 07

Oh dear.. Is Alonso really leaving McLaren?

10 responses •

1 person

Aghorri I agree with Rollo - Alonso will stay at McLaren, at least to the end of this season and probably next year too. Ferrari are satisfied with their present drivers so there won't be a seat there and none of the other cars are as good as the McLaren. Alonso isn't...

Protesters gather on a Swiss glacier - in the nude

AnjaP @Rollo1 (16679) • Boston, Massachusetts 18 Aug 07

Protesters gathered on a Swiss glacier in a nude formation to call attention to what they perceive as the looming danger of climate change. As far as I know, no carbon offsets were sold and there is no report on the level of...

2 responses

Aghorri How excellent! At last the protesters have found a way to suffer while they shout their slogans and demand to be heard. Suffering is an indication of commitment to a cause at least - although I'm not sure if it counts when it's self-inflicted. Or maybe it's...

Are people born good or bad?

MikeMe @MikeMe (100) • United States 18 Aug 07

Do we come into this world more with the capacity for being good people, or for being bad? OR, do we tend to be basically good with some bad qualities. Maybe we are born with a tendency to do evil, but some good overcomes...

Aghorri First you have to define evil (or bad, whatever you want to call it). Since selfishness is the root of all evil, we are all born bad. There is nothing more selfish than a newborn baby - it does not even know of the concept of "other". All our lives are spent...

How do you start your day?

Pose123 @Pose123 (21635) • Canada 17 Aug 07

I think how we start our day has an effect on the way we experience it. I like to lie awake in bed for a few moments and think about the day ahead. First I bless the day and those who will be a part of my day. Then I like to think...

M@tt, The greatest Guitar Player i ever Seen

Crabby_Qc @Crabby_Qc (36) • Canada 18 Aug 07

M@tt, a French Guitar player from France, Playing Canon by patchabel, but his own version. Sound So good.

Aghorri JerryC is not God but is very closely related to him. And this guy M@tt seems to be one of the family too. I think Jerry still wears the crown since he was the one who transposed the original Pachelbel (and he has done some brilliant stuff of his own) but M@tt...

Aghorri You don't have to be a celebrity anyway. I wanted to name my first son Ob but my wife wouldn't let me. Why Ob? Because then I could have given him the middle name Stinnet and his full name would have been true of the whole family. :D Strangely enough, that...

When is it okay to tell a lie?

AnjaP @Rollo1 (16679) • Boston, Massachusetts 12 Aug 07

You find yourself in a sticky situation and telling the truth may have consequences. Is it ever okay to tell a lie? Do you ever profit by a lie or does the lie do damage to your character and hurt you more in the long run? Have...

4 responses

Aghorri I told a lie for thirty years and caused far more damage and hurt than I'd have done if I had just told the truth in the first place. It is always better to tell the truth and no excuse is sufficient.
