1. Title and keyword section of blog post.
The title is an important part of a blog post, it’s just like a front end, that a searcher and search engine look first. The title of a blog post must contain keywords of post body. These keyword should be identical and blog body content related. You must use a single keyword at least two times in your title. You can research for dense title keywords with the help of several tools like Google AdwordExternal keyword tool.
2. Description and first paragraph of blog post.
The description is the second important part of post. Because it is also indexed in search enginequeries. A blogger must setup every post a unique description tag, but it is hard and time consuming task. The easiest way of writing description, write it in first paragraph of post. If you write keywords in post first paragraph, it will work like description tags for you post. Again keywords should well researched, dense and content related. I suggest the blogger should try to use vast keywords in blog posts.
3. Post body and writing skills.
To make your post as SEO friendly post you have to write the post with SEO tricks in your mind. If you write entire post grammatically well and use keywords at least 5 to 10 times in each article, so your doing great a job. Try to be natural in this section.

Labels are also important part. If you willing to make your blog post SEO compatible, give it the right label or tags for example if you write a post on “Tips about driving” so you can give it label like “Safe Driving Tips” or “Driving Safety Tips”.
5. The URL and post address.
URL address is a point gaining part for SEO. In other words the URL (post address) should contain the keywords in it. The WordPress bloggers are no need to worry about this part, because WordPress and many other CMS/ blog engines contain the automatic function, that turns your post title in URL address, so WordPress bloggers don’t worry about URL and they should concentrate to write best title.
6. The Backlinks and hierarchy.
The Backlinks are Backbone of blog post. If you do all the things described above well in you post but forget about backlinks you can make your post SEO post but, you have to wait for some months to letsearch engines to find your post and even though it won’t work well.

I love to read, I pretty much read everything I get my hands on, including my morning cereal box.
I have books on my iPod Touch, my iPad, my laptop and my phone, believe it or not, I think I’d still also enjoy having an eReader. I know I’m probably not the norm, but there are probably a few people out there just like me.
Enough folks like me, that the new Google eBookstore might just be a good thing. Touting themselves as having the largest digital bookstore in the world,
the Google eBookstore is a bit different in a few ways. First, unlike Amazon, Google sells books that come in various formats and can be read on almost any device, from the iPad to your netbook or smartphone… but uh-oh, not on your Kindle.
Second, The Google eBookstore might just be bigger than it’s competitors, with over 3 million books available with many of them free and hundreds of thousands of titles for sale. The options are certainly extensive. Cheaper? Maybe not, but it certainly seems like a generous selection.
Lastly, Google also offers a Google eBooks Web Reader, where you can buy, store and read Google eBooks in the cloud allowing you access to your ebooks like you would your messages in Gmail, using a free account with unlimited ebooks storage.
Not everybody needs all this, but I believe its better to have and not need, you know what I mean? But if you have a Kindle, then never mind.
Novell has announced that it has agreed to a merger proposition from the Attachmate Corporation, an investment group led by Francisco Partners, Golden Gate Capital and Thoma Bravo, for $2.2 billion (£1.25 billion). The company also confirmed that it will also be selling certain, as yet undisclosed, IP assets to CPTN Holdings LLC, a consortium organised by the Microsoft Corporation for $450 million (£282 million) in cash.
Attachmate says that it plans to operate Novell as two business units: Novel and SUSE and to join these with Attachmate and NetIQ, its other holdings. The completion of the acquisition is still subject to the usual regulatory conditions and to the approval of the stockholders.
Novell President and CEO Ron Hovsepian said of the merger, “After a thorough review of a broad range of alternatives to enhance stockholder value, our Board of Directors concluded that the best available alternative was the combination of a merger with Attachmate Corporation and a sale of certain intellectual property assets to the consortium”.
Discussing the news, Attachmate Corporation Chairman and CEO Jeff Hawn said, “… The addition of Novell to our Attachmate and NetIQ businesses will enhance the spectrum of solutions we can offer to customers. We fully support Novell’s commitment to its customers and we look forward to continuing to invest for the benefit of Novell’s customers and partners”.
The news of the acquisition comes nearly two months after reported acquisition delays over legacy assets. During the past year, a number of private equity firms were expected to bid for Novell’s non-Linux business, which includes the Netware and identity management units, but were apparently unwilling to pay the price Novell was asking. There had been a number of further rejected bids for Novell in its entirety since it rejected a unsolicited $2Bn bid from the Elliot Associateshedge fund and said it was considering its options.

Social networking website Facebook and Internet telephone company Skype are in talks to establish a partnership that is aimed at integrating their communication services, Wall Street Journal said, citing a person familiar with the situation. Under the proposed partnership, Facebook users would be able to sign into Skype through their Facebook Connect accounts, the Journal said. Once signed in, the users would be able to send text messages, voice chat and video chat with their Facebook friends from within Skype, according to the paper.
The integrated functions are built into Skype’s 5.0 version, which is expected to be released in the next few weeks, the person told the paper.
Enabling Skype’s voice and video chat on Facebook would be a “logical progression” to the partnership, the person told the paper. Facebook and Skype could not immediately be reached for comment by Reuters. (Reuters)

VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework, that plays most multimedias files and various streaming protocols. It is simple to use, yet very powerful and extendable.
VLC has all codecs built-in. It comes with support for nearly all codec there is. And what is more it can even play back the file or media if it is damaged! Missing or broken pieces are no stop to VLC, it plays all the video and audio information that’s still intact.
VLC has come to the iPad, adding playback support for media formats that were previously unplayable on Apple devices. Without hardware acceleration, however, you’re going to run into playback issues. Here are your best bets for optimal playback.
vlc-for-ipad-title-image
Out of the starting gates, VLC Media Player for iPad is a little buggy, doesn’t play back HD content too well, but is still very, very welcome. The interface is pretty slick, and copying your media files through iTunes is simple enough. While some formats aren’t supported (RealMedia, FLV, etc.), many new ones are (AVI, MPG, MKV, etc.). Let’s take a look at getting your media files into VLC and which files it’ll handle best.
FLV screen_shot 1
Adding files is pretty straightforward. Hook your iPad up to iTunes, choose it from the sidebar, click the “Apps” tab, and scroll down to the “File Sharing” section. From there you can choose VLC and add files through drag-and-drop or the “Add…” button. As soon as you do, iTunes will start copying the files over to VLC and you’ll be able to use them immediately after it finishes.
The problems come when you start copying supported files and VLC crashes or simply can’t handle the work you’re throwing at it. This is a shortcoming of the iPad more than VLC, as the iPad is really only designed to play back MPEG4/H.264 encoded to Apple’s specifications. VLC doesn’t seem to take advantage of the iPad’s MPEG/H.264 hardware acceleration, and so HD files tend to be unwatchable and may cause crashes. VLC is, at least, kind enough to warn you when you’re trying to throw a file at it that your iPad can’t handle.
Determining what you can play back well is a little difficult, since it’s mostly trial and error. VLC will let you know when it thinks you’re pushing the limits, but often files that it thinks it can play don’t look so great. So what do you do?
We’ve played around with VLC for iPad a bit and have found that most standard definition files work alright. For the most part, your best bet is standard definition AVI files using DiVX. Even at higher bit rates (about 2500kbps), DiVX AVIs seemed to play back smoothly and scrubbing wasn’t an issue. This is great news for BitTorrenters, as most TV shows are already encoded as DiVX AVI and are already optimal for iPad playback in VLC.
If you want HD on your iPad, VLC will get you half-way there. While 720p DiVX AVI video stuttered quite a bit, the same video encoded at about 3000kbps at 960×540 worked just fine. Since 960×540 is the recommended resolution for your iPad’s video anyway, it’s a good target for your HD content.
VLC is available now on iTunes, absolutely free. VLC Media Player
