Super-Bloggers!!! Part 3 is today, and today is the first day of the rest of your life. Anyway, calm down and let your enthusiasm peak during the last half of this post, okay? What good is enthusiasm if you don’t know why you feel excited, right? This is an elemental teaching of the Fourth Dimension.

Let’s focus now on two areas of the Super-Bloggers very existence that can be considered crucial to being Super - or not so Super (it’s your choice really, isn’t it?). Those areas of blogging are 1) Research 2) Customization. Super-bloggers can use these two areas to rise above the fray of the not-so-super wannabes (don’t you go there!)

Research for blogging is done in several areas - and if you want Super-Blogger status then research really pays off. Here are some key websites to help you achieve Super-Blogger status: Whois.com - which is a domain and registration name lookup, Overture.com - provides a keyword selector and traffic analysis tool, Google Bid Analysis - information on keyword bidding, Google Adwords - a keyword research tool, Firefox Search Status Extension - with this you can see how every website is performing, SEO for Firefox - a useful research and data, with loads of other tools.

Customization means exclusive look and design, it’s very important to a Super-Blogger. How can you make your blog an original? Just check out these resources: Wordpress Themes - a collection of free Wordpress themes with graphical and textual preview, Template Monster - for premium Wordpress themes from $50, Dreamweaver - a web development and streamlined coding environment, Adobe Photoshop CS3 - an image editing software from $649, iStockPhoto - a royalty free images source, FlashDen - buy stock flash, video, audio and fonts for as little as 50 cents, FamFamFam - sets of icons available for use free of charge, Adobe Illustrator - leading vector-graphics software, Filezilla - fast and reliable FTP client, Cyberduck - secure FTP for MAC OS X, Psd2html - online conversion service.

These are some excellent resources. If you don’t understand the need for these just look around on the web for articles to further explain. Many of these terms when searched give you a good explanation on the website.

You Super-Bloggers must ponder the meanings of Uncle Arthur’s words for today. Part 4 will soon be ready for you - - Super.Bloggers!!! ( Part 1 or 4 )
