I've just realize that choosing a blog template is important. Choose one blog template that you will stick to for quite a long time. If not, you will then your blog template every now and then and also have to re-do all the link that you have put up in your blog. That is really not convenient right?
My other blog, Speech-Less is now on new template. Free ones that is. There are a few sites that offers free template that I know of. Their template is really good. Here are some site that I know;
~ Blogger Template
~ 50 More Beautiful Blogger Template
~ Final Sense Blog Template
What I do when I wanted to change my template was;
1. choose the template that works for you. there are two column or three column template to choose from.
2. determine whether you need two, three or four columns for your ads, links an so on.
3. as for the template codes, either download them and insert from blogger layout or you can copy the codes and paste them in "edit html" also in blogger layout.
Take note it is for the new blogger (the one which uses xml for its code)
For the old blogger it is much simpler. Find template with html codes and paste them in "edit html".
The other one is, website which offers customize template for a certain price. But the result is quite amazing. Example of one blog using customize template is My Sweet Escape.
The website I am talking about is Chic & Sassy Designs. Their design true to their name are chic and sassy. I've also been eyeing their template for a while.
Choose wisely for your template.

Blog Hopping
Blog Hopping, latest thing I discovered lately. Some people had started to notice my other blog, Speech-LESS, first attempt in writing. Setup my blogger account in 2005, but started writing only in 2007. But 2007 entry had been deleted.
For Blog Hopping, you will need a shout out box or a chat box. So simple to setup or get. Lots of website offers it for FREE. I use Shout Mix.
So when people blog hop, usually they will only read your content, but hardly will comment. If you have a shout box or chaat box, it will be easier for them to drop you a hello.
The best thing about shout box or chat box is you can leave your url that leads to your own blog when you leave a message to them.
Exchanging link also will be useful for both parties as you can go back and forth visiting each other links or blogs, or you might have other people who visits your blog click to the links as well.
A few people had exchange link with me, but it is in another blog. Will update on them soon. Browsing their blogs, its nice to see that many have a very nice blog indeed. Thumbs up!

I was already sets on getting myself educated on XML coding to help me since I like this Blogger sets of layout even better than the old version one which are using HTML codes.
As I was browing along Google, I found an interesting website. It can converts HTML codes to XML codes.I tried it and yeap it works. I can put ads to my websites and other widgets. I just need to convert the HTML code to XML code and paste them in my blog right here.

Different Types of Blogs
Now blogs are up like the mushrooms after the rain (bak kate org Melayu bak cendawan tumbuh selepas hujan). ;) I love reading blogs, no matter what they said. Some gave out the info that I need. Some gave advices. Some just telling their experience for the audience. That's us.
My favourite blog when is blog about blog itself. Though I was Science Computer Major not finished, I'm not that crazy about doing website. But maintaining your own blog suddenly I discovered is FUN.
You can surf to this blog, I thinks his info are much better than mine as I was just starting. Free Blog Things and Stuff is the blog.
Next are personal blogs, blogs of experience, expression. You can browse to my friends blog, Emiza's Life or I enjoy our prize winning director's blog Yasmin the Storyteller.
The third personal favourite are music blogs. Some even have song downloads. For those of you who are a fan of American Idol and their contestant. You can download the songs that they sung in the competition here at New Music Blog.
Even though I love reading, I don't visit book blog very much because I prefer curling up on my bed and reading the paperbacks. I visit random blogs whenever I have the time. One of it is by Jeff Ooi from our own political figure. Political things and any current news of Malaysia or outside the world interest me very much. :D
Happy blog browing :D
