Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Advance Screening

Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort’s defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn’t counted on Romilda Vane’s chocolates! And then there’s Hermione, simmering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again. (source)

Creating Links While Commenting

This is just being OC and all… if offended.. please hit the x button..I just noticed that a lot of you are not aware that you can build back links while you comment here on on any other blog. How is that possible? Well by leaving a link on your comment. The next time you tell me, you have a new post that is interesting or you want me to check out your entry in our favorite memes, you can try it by leaving here a text (clickable) that is linked to your post. I noticed that most just leave a plain text with the http.. etc..

It’s not doing you any good.. this is an example OK..If a new blogger chanced upon an awesome site and commented saying:
Hey this site is so cool, you might want to check out my post about this subject matter too:
http://socool.blogspot.com/2009/07/check-out-my-site.html

What will the blog owner do? Most likely than not, he would ignore it.. why? who would wanna copy the http, open a tab and paste it? that’s a lot of work eh? What if another blogger chanced upon the awesome site and saw the comment of the socool blogger? Would he have the patience to copy and paste it in another tab? I guess not?

But of course here in my blog, however long your http codes, I am more than willing to open a new tab/s and copy paste your link… but you can make our world a lot simpler and yours a lot better and more back links..

How to? Put an anchor text instead of a plain text…

The anchor text, link label or link title is the visible, clickable text in a hyperlink.(source)

(Hypertext REFerence) The HTML code used to create a link to another page. The HREF is an attribute of the anchor tag, which is also used to identify sections within a document. The HREF contains two components: the URL, which is the actual link, and the clickable text that appears on the page, called the “anchor text.”(source)

How to make one? You have to make a code that starts with href… etc.. ugh! Honestly, even if I am using it for more than 6 months now, I still can’t remember how to make an anchor text, but we can always cheat right?Here’s what I did.. I open my create new post tab, typed in a word, usually the title of my blog, Make or Break.. create a link by clicking the cutey green round on my post dashboard, and typed in the blog address of my blog.. then I clicked on the edit html and copy it in a notepad or somewhere else… It looks like this:

Make or Break

Whenever you want to brag about your post, you just change the url and put the url of your post.. so if I want to comment on you and tell you about my take on Siblings Rivalry.. here it is on its bare html code:

How to Handle Siblings Rivalry
clickable text: How to Handle Siblings Rivalry

So for the sake of comparison, tell me which one is less of a hassle to click?

Some Changes on Blog List

I noticed that another reason why my blog is taking forever to load is the number of blogs on my blog list. It is more than 50 I think. So for better loading I decided to delete the blog roll, OK not yet done with it, and made a separate post about it. Hey you, don’t panic yet, it is not as if I am erasing your link on my blog.

OK first thing, first.. a blog roll is a list of your favorite blogs with a feed on it. It means that when ever your favorite blog updates, it will be on top of your list, or whatever the settings of your list. So I thought that this a good way to catch my blogger friend’s post, opps, not. Now that I have like more than 50 blogs on the list, I can’t keep up to it (not to mention it is eating up a part of my loading time). I realized too that it is not actually a back link, it is just a way to tell your friends that, hey you..I have a new post! and hope that she would click on your site..

So what I am trying to tell you?

Since there is a thing about following a blog, I made it a point that I FOLLOW all the blogs on my list (yeah including blogs not hosted on blogger). How to do that? Easy, just go to your dashboard and on the lower left is the list of the blogs you are following, just add a new site to it and voila! And since there is a reading list of all the blogs I am following, there is no way that I would miss your post (except if I feel like sleeping instead of blogging).

What will happen to the list on my blog roll?

For a stronger kind of back link, I will make a separate page for that.. I decided to stress myself a bit (it is as if having three rowdy, er, four, boys are not stressful enough) and categorize all the blogs on my list. If time and my patience will allow, I might come up with this on Monday.

I am thinking of making a small introduction on each site on my list and mention at least two back links.. when I am done, I will get back to you and please give me a feedback on how cool my idea was. ehek. I mean if I put you on the right category and if you are happy with my introduction.. and so on..

Enough blabbing.. I still have 20 or more to categorize..
