Anything mommy blogger related here. This features blog events coverage. This blog also publish press release and write ups. Tips and tutorials on how to be an effective blogger.

This also include a list of top mommy blog in the Philippines.

In addition, here is the 5 SIMPLE STEPS TO BE A MOMMY BLOGGER:

1. Create a blog name that will represent you as a mommy blog. Sometimes it's good to include the noun mommy or mother or nanay.

2. Create an email the same as your blog name for branding purpose, in other words, for identification. After that, you can proceed to step 3 which is actually one of the most challenging part.

3. Open a blog. It has been debated for so many times which is the best blogging platform to use. For starters, I usually recommend blogspot because it is free. On the other han, if you are ready to shell out money, wordpress org is the best.

4. Design your blog. This sound like an easy task to do, it is actually, however, it can be very time consuming. The number of free templates for a blog is endless. To help you decide, set your blog tone and color. Will it be a dark themed blog? Light? What will be the primary colors? And from there, searching will be easier.

5. Lastly and most importantly, Start writing. The best way to start this is to introduce yourself. Likewise, you can also create a list of why you started a mommy blog. Or you can mention top 10 things that you would want your future readers to know about you.

Link Removals 101 (The Best Link Removal Plugin..so far)

If you’re into paid posting.. by now you’ve realize how stupid you are to accept a $5 link and then you’ll be asked to remove that link! Argh! Double the trouble! Take a deep breathe and remove that link ASAP! Link removals will do good on your blog! You’ll get rid of that cheap link and less stress dealing with the companies requesting for such. These companies tend to harass bloggers who won’t comply with their link removal request (it’s a request, dammit). I heard a blogger who got a demand letter and another one who was threatened that they will sabotage their hosting.. nyeee!

Link removal is easy.. the thing is, if you have more than 10 blogs and like more than 500 posts per blog, granted only half are paid post.. that’s 2500 blog posts!!! Who has time to manually remove links from that much blog posts? Certainly not you!

I have been searching for the bets plugin to use to remove links.. so far I only got a NO Follow plugin>>> Read everything about this plugin HERE as well as the difference of Do Follow and No Follow link.

A friend asked what’s the difference of Link Removal and No Follow Links..

Link Removal means removing the link, the text link will appear just like ordinary text.
No Follow link means the link is still there but the attribute is no follow.

In the world of SEO, a no follow link is almost the same as no link at all.

The latest plug in I found is called Outbound Link Manager.. before finding that plug in, Sir Ed Joven of Tech News PH mentioned the use of Broken Link Checker plugin to remove links.

It’s a nice plugin to check your blog for broken links and yes it can also remove links but it can be time consuming and the parameters I need is not offered on this plugin (like, what if I only need to erase links from a certain category or month).

So I found Outbound Link Manager Plugin!

Although this plugin hasn’t been updated for over two years, I still find it useful. Install and activate the plugin and start deleting links!

See what I mean?

You can delete links based on category.. so if you have a category for all your paid post, good for you!! this is the best plugin for you!!!!

But if you don’t label your paid post, the safest to do is delete all links from a year ago then make all the succeeding link a no follow link. Assuming that all paid links expire in a year, deleting them won’t affect your clients.

For links less than a year old, if your client complains for the no follow attribute, just remove it.

So far, this is serving its purposes, if only:

I have an option to display more than 10 links
I don’t have to click the “APPLY” button every time I need to go to a certain date or category
The plug in does not bring me back to page 1 (of the link list) every time I delete links from the last page. (HASSLE!)

I am trying this plugin with my other blogs.. deleting links is quite tedious than just adding a site wide no follow attribute, but it is worth it.

How about you? What link manager plugins have you tried? Please do let me know if Outbound Link Manager Plugin works for you too.

GOOD LUCK!

Philippines Red Cross Aid Couture 2014 (Pre-loved Clothing Sale)

Whenever there is a call for relief operations, I’d go to my closest and see if there is something that I can donate..clothes are the easiest to give (and let’s not discuss why). I read from somewhere that clothes donations are overwhelming and some donations are too bongga to give to calamity victims.. sequined tops? short shorts? gowns? evening gowns? drag queen outfit? come on! Philippines Red Cross, in partnership with Procter & Gamble Philippine, thought of something to make these kind of clothing to use.. and that is through Aid Couture. It is a fund raising event where in the bongga clothes are styled and sold to the public. The clothes were washed and dried before being sold to the public. The proceeds were converted to first aid kids, food supplies, blankets, stretchers, etc for use in times of calamity and natural disasters. The first Aid Couture happened last November and this year, Aid Couture will have its second run this August 2-3 at the Glorietta and Market! Market! Activity Center. What to expect?
