Blogging is an activity that related to blog. Blogging means each related blog activities such as blog content writing, blog commenting, blog marketing, social networking, etc. Of course, to start the blogging, a blog is mandatory. Without a blog, there is no meaning of the blogging. It can be said there is no blogging at all without a blog. It means that a blog is the core of blogging. However, beside the blog as core, there are many stuffs that involved in the entire blogging as I mentioned before such as blog content writing, blog commenting, blog marketing, social networking, and many others.
The Must Have Blogging Miscellaneous Stuffs
One of the type of the involved stuff is that I called as blogging miscellaneous stuff. Blogging miscellaneous stuff is the complementary tiny stuff which usually only work as decorative purpose which means the blogging still can be done normally without these miscellaneous stuffs. However, base on my experience, it seems there are some blogging miscellaneous stuffs that become important for blogging itself. The stuffs are important so without it, the blogging result is decreased significantly. Here I share three blogging miscellaneous stuffs that categorized as important for blogging:
#1. Blog Logo
Blog Logo is important these days to distinguish our blog from the crowd. Blog Logo acts as our blog unique marks or brand image. Blog Logo also can act as our online signature for each of our online activities. A well design Blog Logo may improve our blog reputation around the blogosphere. In contrary, our blog may be not taken seriously by the readers if there is no blog logo available. The blog logo tells the internet communities that we are really serious about our blog. The blog logo is really significant for a blog these days – Base on my experience, even the simplest blog logo is enough to make a difference.
#2. Favicon
Favicon is the tiny picture that shown up side-by-side with our blog title in web browser. Favicon is also shown up in RSS feed list. As Blog Logo, Favicon is a way to stand out from the crowd. Favicon surely offers a uniqueness for the blog so can be recognized in the list with ton of other blogs. Base on my experience, a good quality unique Favicon can increase the awareness of a blog around blogosphere. A blog success is always depended on the blog brand awareness around the internet which means that the favicon is very important these days for a blog.
#3. Gravatar
Avatar is a tiny picture that act as our online marks. The avatar acts as our identity in the internet for each of our online activities such as commenting or article writing. However, and traditional avatar is static which means we need to upload the picture to each of the website in where we do our internet activities. This situation is not feasible for bloggers since blogging is involved a ton of website. It is impossible to upload avatar picture to that so many of website. Therefor the Gravatar which offers anywhere avatar is the answer for this easy avatar integrating need. Gravatar associate the avatar picture with the email address. It means that By inserting an email address, we also integrate our avatar (internet ID) in it.
Final words
There are many stuffs that involved in blogging to complete the core blogging stuff which is a blog. One of the blogging stuffs is the blogging miscellaneous stuffs. In old day, blogging miscellaneous stuffs is purely for decorative purpose which means the blogging is still done normally without it. However, these days, some of the blogging miscellaneous stuffs become very important for blogging itself. It is so important so the stuffs become the must have blogging miscellaneous stuffs. I share three of them through this blog post which are Blog Logo, Favicon and Gravatar. The three of these blogging miscellaneous stuffs have been evolved become the important part of the entire blogging process.
