Success BlogNet - A Call To Action

Children are our worlds most precious resource, but as children, they often lack the skills to protect themselves. It is our responsibility, as parents and teachers, to safeguard children and to teach them the skills to be safe.

Have you ever wondered how for example The BlogNet Team get images of bloggers blogs and get them on the site?

The answer is we use screen capture tools. Some are easier than others and as many of you might know there are free tools and paid tools.

I for one I am not very technical minded and if a tool is too complex to use, then I will dump it.

I tested out some of these tools for you, all tools take practice to use, but as the saying goes, if I can do it so can anyone.

Kwout (quote)

There are a few ways to make Kwout work for you when using the screen capture process. There is a firefox extension and by bookmarking it. Kwaout will host the screeshots on their own servers, or you can upload the images to any photo file sharing service such as Flickr. This screen capture tool will preserve the hyperlinks in your screenshot through image maps

FireShot

I have to say that Fireshot is my favorite tool to use. A Firefox Add-on,that is easily downloaded It is easy to use, it makes streamlining and consolidating screen captures a breeze. Once you have created the image you want, you get the different codes, such as HTML, Direct Links, codes to use in forums or emails.

Screengrab
Screengrab is another Firefox extension that puts an icon on your status bar at the bottom of your screen. When you click this, you have the option of copying or saving the complete page, the visible portion of the page or selecting the part of the page you want.
Regardless of which tool that you use, remember that there are rules and regulations to capturing any screenshot. If you are unsure what to do, let the owner know that you are using their image and show them what your are doing. Doing this just makes sense and the added bonus is that you will create a good working relationship with others on the net and even create a link for yourself.

P.S All images were taken using the FireShot Screen Capture Tool

As we all know by now,to be successful when writing content for your blog, it is also important to add the eye candy so that people will stay longer on your post or page.

This includes images, videos, graphs or what have you.
As with anything, there are rules to this as in reading the license that come with downloading or uploading an image to your blog.

It can’t be stressed enough that you could be breaking the law if you don’t take the time to know these licensing rules.

What did you forget to do today?

It is not just older people who forget things.  In this very busy world, where we have so many things to do, it is simple to forget tasks that you have to do.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a way to remind of all the things we need to do in one simple place.

Good News!

We finally found an organizer that works!

At Success BlogNet, we want to help and inform our readers of any issues that will help bring success.

Disclosure Policies are important to anyone who has a blog for the main reason that it allows the bloggers to self identify any affiliation, payment or other conflicts of interests that may influence the content of a blog.

There are a couple of ways that a responsible blogger can get a disclosure policy on their blog.

The first one is to create a write up on your own. Your disclosure policy should include some details as in a copyright statement, declaring a financial relationship ( for example if you are an affiliate), legal disclaimers and talk about any related content on a 3rd party website.

If you are not into writing legalese, then your second option is to use a free service like Disclosure Policy.org. They have created a very simple way for people to protect themselves and make their blog transparent to the reader.

The Third way to create a Disclosure policy, when you host your own blog then we urge you to get a “Disclosure Policy Plugin™ for Wordpress™”
Take the time to read all about this plugin from the potential Usage to the license requirements.
If Your really can not wait to get through all the written material, then click on download and this will take you to the page of the “Disclosure Policy Plugin™ for Wordpress™” .

There is a fourth way and that is to do nothing. We at Success BlogNet urge you to not let this fourth choice become your first choice.

Today we learned that a movie icon, a man with integrity, a man of many talents died on Friday at his his farmhouse in Westport, Conn., surrounded by his friends and family.

Paul Newman passed away at the age of 83.

You can read about his life in detail at CBC News.ca

While reading about this man at the CBC News site, one of the comments made sums up my thoughts which I am putting here:

robotman ( from Vancouver B.C, Canada):

Cheers to the life of Paul Newman!

What a great life and career, Mr Newman played the epitome of cool. He was the only idol I ever knew and I will make point of celebrating his life. The sadness of the world losing such a great man is overshadowed by the vast contributions he made.

R.I.P. Mr Newman, you will be missed by many.

A blogger who is with Success BlogNet has written a blog post that I quickly wanted to share.  Her blog is called  Like an Eagle -  Soar.   The title of her post  is Follow Your Dreams and it is well work looking at as well as the comment I made to her.

All to often we lose our dreams because of the mind set of others.  When it comes to working online whether it is affiliate marketing or blogging, you are going to find those who will be so supportive and giving but the reality is you will also find those who will try to crush you.  Keep your focus, your mindset and your balance.  Follow your dreams and reach for the stars.
