I'm not sure why people do this, but since it's done often, I'm going to post about it.
Ever saw those URLs with formats like http://bit.ly/bepHqh ?
Well, those aren't links to virus or malware, it's just a shortened link! A lot of websites are specialized in doing this, which I'm going to introduce to you guys right here!
The list I have here is:
1) Tinyurl.com
2) Bitly.com
3) Snurl.com

Way to Attract Traffic to Your Blog
Hey! This is my second post on driving traffic to your blog. Haven't seen the first? Check it out:
http://arts-inmylife.blogspot.com/2010/08/how-to-promote-your-blog-for-free.html
Anyway, here's a few more ways to get traffic is by joining social blog websites where you can put interesting stories from your blog into those websites. You can also write about anything else or get it from other sources.
Basically, this is how it works:
1) People who have accounts on these social blog websites log in.
2) They randomly scroll through different posts like recently added or popular posts.
3) Ooohhh! What a post! (It's your post, they click and visit your blog.)
4) They like/dislike your blog. People who like may follow your blog, then rate your post at the social blog website and comment!. Others may just skip through or leave a comment/feedback.
Simple? Well, the problem is at step number 3. You have to get people to find your posts by making it to the top news.
Here are some websites where you can get started:
1) Digg
2) Delicious
3) StumbleUpon
4) Yahoo Buzz
5) Slashdot
6) Reddit
7) Propeller
8) Innit Nuffnang
If you want to use link number 8, you have to be a member of Nuffnang's Advertising Community and be a Glitterati member. Don't worry, it's all free! Just have fun joining!

Animated Label Cloud Widget
As a blogger, your aim is to make a blog that is stylish, cool with modern looks but not too outstanding as it may make the blog seem plain again, right? If you don't, then you must be a new blogger! Basically, that is the aim to keep traffic flowing stably and nicely, also helping you to remain your visitors and make them permanent visitors.
One of the interesting stuff to put in your blogs are widgets, which are sort of like ornaments to your blog. I explained a bit on that before, you might want to check it out. http://arts-inmylife.blogspot.com/2010/08/widgets-websites.html
Anyway, one of the most famous widgets is the animated label cloud widget, which looks like mine on the left sidebar of my blog. See how it works? The tags hover around the space with no sequence, making it look stylish. The problem is, most people think it looks hard to make that cool thing.
WRONG!
That's why, I am here today to teach you how to make it! This is much different than the other 'copy-and-paste' or 'click-to-add' kind of widgets. This includes a much more complicated step, which is the HTML codes.
Let's get started!
Firstly, start of by logging in to your blogger account, then click on the 'design' tab, and then the smaller tab called 'Edit HTML'

Firstly, start of by logging in to your blogger account, then click on the 'design' tab, and then the smaller tab called 'Edit HTML'
Before you do anything else, click on 'Download Full Template' as a backup set of HTML codes.
Then, search for the following line:
How to search? Just click 'Ctrl' + 'F' and a small tab should come out at the top-right corner of the webpage to insert text. Type in the letters one by one until you find it (for me, I didn't have the 'sidebar' so mine was 'main'. Just find the nearest possibility available.)
Straight away after that line, copy the code from http://www.bloggerbuster.com/2008/08/blogumus-flash-animated-label-cloud-for.html
Then, preview your template. Works? Good! Then save your work. After that, you should be able to see it in your page elements, so enjoy moving it around anywhere you like.
Can't see it? Post a comment and maybe I can help you out!
