On Widgets and Plugins

After taking the time to cool off a little , I am now dedicating my energy to GSC (which didn't include H as in Help by the way. So I have no idea about me always bragging on "asa soa" stuffs which were spontaneous products of the spirited minds of social and instinctive blogging superstars like Tomavana, Diana or Ikalamako.Saveoursmile was kind enough to post the most touching comment on Hjk's trip to web 2.0 world in Ankatso at Foko's. Well I have to be more sincere and less "lèche-cul" the posts on Baby Kamba's were the most touching but I wanted to let web 2.0 guru that I felt very touched…anyhows…

CSS with Wordpress is a hobby I have explored every evening after a depressing day at work or on week-ends when I don't have to stress about work. Why is CSS taking this much space in purple's life? Maybe to make her time spent on the web less visually painful. Do you guy want to know what painful is? It's when you get to website and don't find the feed button.shock.in '08 how come peope don't put RSS on their so-called "news" page? especially when it comes to blogging plateformes (sorry blaogy.org and gasykamanja.fr friends, I am sure the teams are working very hard to get your datas back.please come back quickly because you guyz rocked). Do we have to give an entire web 2.0 workshop during Barcamp?Just to put the word straight:use RSS for forums, comments, events, lifestream (if you dare), songs, posts…your cousins' feeds and your highly political twittering.

Do  trends and promote interactions to become more interactive

Magazine themes in Wordpress : since every blogger have the secret dream to be perceived as a journal (yes you are) .Or maybe have too much things to say and a single column cannot fit the variety of categories you post, you can explore the fabulous use of custom fields , thumbnails and extracts to make your frontpage look more alive (which is your main page , bloggingly speaking)

The (life) streams : of course it's easier to put more updates when you manage a collective blog. Where is who?what is who doing? when is how? all the existential questions you want to know about a dynamique community and of course share their experiences and digs by only visiting a web page. http://www.flickr.com/ http://delicious.com/  …

The CSS : you suck at photoshop? don't worry there are plenty of web 2.0 online tools to help you design your buttons, logos, banners, a personality ! First thing first : choose the right colors for your layout, it doesn't have to be DARK OR WHITE or total green. Mix colors, use your creativity !

The content : 10-lines rule is still very actual (even if the goddess-of-never-reading-a-post-which-lentgh-is-more-than-10-lines has broken her own rules long ago. People! Writing is great awesome and fun especially when you're an exemplar trilingual blogger. Don't you want to spice things with more and more podcasts, videos and pics? Do you need me to add more about the Creative Commons Licences?

Links and more Links : everyone has this great page called "sponsors and partnerships". It sometimes contain cute logos of the cool people you're working with. When you want to get crazy with the deisgn you use a simple Flash representation on the frontpage. cool. can we have more of everything please?
