Writing articles or posting entries to your blog can be a tedious task. Reading good feedbacks from your readers and seeing good stats for those articles are already fulfilling compensation.

To make sure that your articles get read and enjoyed, here are six red hot tips to get your articles read. These tips will make your articles readable and interesting.

1) Use short paragraphs. Admit it, you, yourself, sometimes hate reading very long articles, especially if it is not so engaging. It can get quite confusing and too much of a hard work to read. The reader will just quickly disregard the paragraph and move on to much easier reading articles that are good to look at as well as read. Paragraphs can be a single sentence, sometimes even a single word!

2) Make use of numbers or bullets. As each point is stressed out, numbers and bullets can quickly make the point easy to remember and digest. As each point, tip, guide or method is started with a bullet or point, readers will know that this is where the tips start and getting stressed. Format you bullets and numbers with indentations so that your article won’t look like a single block of square paragraphs. Add a little bit of flair and pizzazz to your articles shape.

Smart SIM on SUN Broadband Locked USB Modem

It has been over 2 weeks that I could not connect with my Sun Broadband, they said that it was a network problem. I’ve been complaining to their Sun Hotline but the representatives are of no help. So I had to resort to cutting off my subscription and decided to re-try Smart Bro when I heard of their Smart Bro Plan 999 which is already available with their USB modems.

I availed of their SIM only plan, since I already have their USB modem. However, when I tried the new SIM, a Smart Gold SIM, it did not work. So my other option at that time was to buy a new Smart Bro usb modem. Good thing that I’ve read that it is actually possible to unlock your USB modem for free online, or at several cellphone repair shops. I opted to do the latter. So I went to SM San Lazaro and had my Huaiwei modem, which is Sun-locked, unlocked. I can now use my Smart Sim using my Sun Broadband modem. I saved P999.00 for doing it.

Smart Broadband Plug It Plan 999

I’ve been a subscriber of Smart Broadband since first release of their Smart Bro Prepaid internet modems. Also, I have used their Plan 999 (Canopy) for 1 year. In fact I am still using their black ZTE modem. But because they charge through 30-minute block metering and they only offer prepaid plans, I had to apply for a SUN Broadband subscription to satisfy my unlimited internet needs. At first, SUN Broadband had a satisfactory speed, however, lately, during the last 2 months, I’ve been experiencing crappy connection, especially during nighttime. Good thing, I didn’t discard my Smart Bro modem so I am using it as an alternative, especially that they offered the P200 unlimited surfing for 5 days. Comparing the two, I am much satisfied with Smart Broadband because it’s faster at anytime of the day, well depending maybe on your location. But at my place, Smart Broadband is way faster than SUN Broadband. The only thing I wanted for Smart Broadband to do is to offer unlimited plans with their USB modems.

Well, I thought it was really good news when I knew about their latest offer (or maybe I didn’t know about it until 2 days ago). They are currently offering Smart Broadband Unlimited Plan 999 using their USB modem. The SIM card used is a Smart Gold SIM.

A. ANYWHERE BROADBAND! PLUG IT Plan 999
Unlimited Surfing, Kahit saan may PC. Just Plug it!

Speed : Up to 2 Mbps
No. of Hours use : Unlimited
Connection : Wireless Connection (Via USB Modem)
Requirements : Subscriber Application Form, Proof of Address, Proof of Identification
Total Initial Payment : Php 999 (as 1 months advance service fee)
Lock-in Period : 24 months
Wi-Fi Access : Now FREE unlimited @ Airborne Wi-Fi Zone

Some of the effects that slow your PC are:

1. Pictures on the desktop background. A blank wallpaper is the best. Animations or even sounds in the background slow PC even more. Remove Shortcuts on the Desktop. This will be described further below as well.

How to Completely Block Comment Spam in Your WordPress Blog?

The more you blog, the more spam comments come into your posts. As you blog more and your site gets popular and widely visited, spam comments become your primary enemy. This is where an anti-spam plugins proves to be useful. But it appears that no particular spam filter or spam killer that can be used especially in your blogs. I am currently using 3 spam-blocking plugins for this blog.

The latest versions of WordPress installations come with Akismet, a spam-filtering plugin for WordPress. Akismet can be very useful especially in filtering spam comments containing numerous links, which are always a feature of spam messages. Unfortunately, it fails to do its job sometimes for flagging proper comments as spam. So it would be necessary to check the filtered spam for this error. Problems arise when you got a lot of spam, say hundreds or thousands, to review. It would take you a lot of time, or it maybe impossible for the blogger to finish checking all those spam. You cannot just delete these comments because you might disappoint your readers. Some comments may also contain important things such as a link exchange request, a relevant link to your post, etc.
