After blogging for a few months or years a blogger usually writes a lot of posts. Some of them are obviously more valuable then others and it would be a shame if they were very hard to find. One solution to make sure that people will read what you wrote in the past is to actually rewrite your old posts. In order to do this you should use up-to-date information and publish them again. I have seen this done on the top blogs in the blogosphere and if your older posts are able to stand the test of time, there is no reason why you would not want to do it. Very often there is a lot of valuable information in older posts and rewriting them might be a very good idea.
Another approach would be to link to your best posts from the sidebar, but on the other hand rewriting posts might be more beneficial, as it would update them with more recent data. If you do not plan to rewrite your older posts, then you may at least want to link to your best posts on your sidebar. If you visit many blogs, then you will notice that many other bloggers link to their posts from their sidebar.

Preventing Car Accidents During Christmas Season
Some people love Christmas time more than any other time of year. It is true that Christmas festivities have a lot of charm to them, but at the same time the number of car accidents goes through the roof and surpasses any other season. While the icy roads might be somehow to blame for it (or not depending where you live), the reality is that alcohol consumption is higher that usual and this contributes to such a high number of road casualties at the end of December. If you know in advance that you are prone to drinking during Christmas festivities and this is something you will want to do, it is always best to be prepared in advance and take some necessary precautions to ensure that you don’t end up in hospital, or even worse in crematory. In case you have any questions, feel free to direct them to a miami personal injury attorney who will be more than happy to offer you a helpful hand.
Here are some precautions you can take to minimize the chances of driving under the influence of alcohol:
1. If you are about yo go out and are likely to have a drink, make all the necessary travel arrangements to ensure that you dion’t drive at all. This way you will be able to drink with confidence, but you still remember not to drink too much because too much alcohol can have an adverse effect on your health and overall well being during Christmas. You have a few options here: you can either depend on somebody who is not likely to drink to get you to a party and back, or you can choose to call a cab.
2. During a party, observe what others are doing (even if you are having a good time) and check if those who drink heavily have arrangements that will allow them to get to home safely. If you notice something suspicious always be ready to call a cab for somebody you know even if it means that you will have to pay for it. It is still a small price to pay if a car accident can be avoided as the result of your actions.
Encouraging Comments on Your Blog
Most bloggers would prefer to have more comments on their blog and there is generally an agreement that blogs benefit from comments. That is because not only many comments indicate that your blog is popular, but also make your visitors more involved with your blog. Various visitors often contribute interesting thoughts of their own, which in turn makes them more loyal readers and in general improves the overall quality of your blog. Improving the quality of your blog in turn attracts more visitors. So the question is not whether you should encourage comments, but rather how to do it. This post is going to give advice on this subject. Before we start, if you are a WordPress Blogger, just make sure you have Akismet plug-in activated to fight with spam. Without further adieu, here is the list:
1. Have a top commentators widget on your sidebar. This greatly motivates people to leave comments, as they will feel appreciated for the fact of contributing to the discussion. I am using the Show Top Commentators widget which is compatible with the latest WordPress release and can be found here: www.pfadvice.com/wordpress-plugins/show-top-commentators.
2. Reward your top commentators with a short review of their sites or even some money. Some bloggers have done this and it served them well as it encouraged leaving comments on their blogs.
3. Have a recent comments widget on your sidebar. This encourages visitors to leave comments, especially on older posts, because new comments are very easy to find. I am using the default Recent Comments widget from WordPress. Blogs hosted on Blogger.com may use Recent Comments for Blogger found on storago.com/free_tools.
Working Together
When you have to work in the same area as another employee, it can sometimes be difficult to keep all of your items sorted while staying on task. Fortunately, there are a few ideas for creating a coworking space MA offices offer. Before you begin moving desks around and putting up partitions to keep everyone separated, think about what you need from the space that you create. While ensuring that you’re able to think clearly during the day, you need to have your own space so that you can be creative while still being able to communicate with your coworkers.
The space that’s created should be fun and flexible. You don’t need everyone right on top of each other while you’re working, but sometimes putting desks and workstations right beside each other is the only thing that you can do because of the limited amount of room that you have in the office. Set aside an area of the office where employees can go to relax after being so close to others during the day. An idea would be to make a space where they can sit on large pillows or comfortable couches and chairs to read a book or watch television. A shared space can consist of large tables where everyone works together. You could use round tables so that it’s easier to see everyone or a long table with benches or stools with backs depending on how much room you have to work with and how many people will be working together at one time.
Make sure there’s enough natural light for employees to see what they are doing while working. If employees have to share a space, make it fun. by designing pods that they can sit in or a design that looks like a honeycomb with couches and chairs that are in each section.
Backing Up Your Blog
Most responsible webmasters back up their blog from time to time. They understand that you never know what might happen. I think that most bloggers should probably back up their blog more often then they do. Anyway, the frequency of making backup is not what I wanted to discuss in this post. On the other hand, I want to explain some fundamental rules when it comes to backup. In particular, I want to say what you need to back up when it comes to your blog. In this case I will use a WordPress blog as an example:
Your blogs core files. Those are the files that are located on the server after your WordPress installation is finished. They might get corrupted, and backing up those files will ensure that you will be able to restore your blog easily. If you make any changes to those files, you will definitely want to back them up. Simply copy them to your hard drive and upload them if the files on the hosting server get corrupted.
Your blogs theme. This includes all modifications you made. Some bloggers put more work into their theme than others. However, even if you only made a few changes to your theme, it is crucial that you have a backup.
Your blogs plug-ins that you installed that are enabled or disabled. Finding the right plug-ins is time consuming, so you do not want them to get lost or corrupted. At least make a list of all plug-ins you have installed.
Images and files that are uploaded to your blog.
How to Avoid Motorcycle Accidents
Avoiding motorcycle accidents is something easier said than done due to how vulnerable bikers are, but having said that there are some things you can do, if you are a motorbike owner, to reduce the chances of an accident happening to you. The key here is to be as prepared as possible before you even hit the road, so make sure that you always follow the necessary precautions, which should include:
1. Being as visible to other road users as possible, especially cars and trucks. I know that you might be tempted to wear your leather jacket combined with your leather trousers as you might have heard that they will protect you more once you already have had an accident, however, you will be better off wearing reflective and bright clothing even if you think that you might not be as fashionable as you would like to be. Wearing such clothing is one of the best thing you can do for you as well as other road users, so keep this in mind next time you hit the road.
2. Make sure that you let others know of your actions. If necessary, use hand signals when you turn, and be aware of those around you. Anticipate their actions in advance to tailor your decisions to what they are about to do.
3. Be careful not to drive too fast and stay way below speed limits. I know that it might feel really great to feel the fresh breeze in your hair (or helmet) when you drive very fast, but in order to keep it safe it is always best to slow down, especially if you happen to be in closed areas.
4. if you already have a motorcycle accident, don’t panic, but rather take the necessary steps that need to be taken after the accident already took place such as contacting a miami accident attorney. Don’t wait for too long to give them a call as every hour or day matters here a lot. Before you even know it you might realize that you are eligible for more help than you can possibly imagine.
