The above are well worth a read. As I was in a hurry, I could not devote time to writing a pillar article. Plus, the fact that I did not want to write a mediocre post, just for the sake of posting.

Bye for now.

Top 5 Articles I have come across in the Blogosphere

I have been able to pull up $400 worth of prizes for the next week contest. I am pretty excited about it. I am looking at it not only as a promotion tactic, but also an experiment, and a possible topic of discussion someday. I am not really worried about subscriber numbers or traffic stats. They will come eventually when my blog establishes itself as a source of quality information and knowledge.

I have been working on an ebook project since few weeks. The ebook has been my burning desire for sometime. I will let you all in on the topic in another post when I see the end of the tunnel. Stay tuned.

I acquired the master resale rights to a product few hours back. It is pretty small software but nevertheless a very useful one, especially if your site or blog has products or services to offer. I am planning to give it away free to all my readers. Stay tuned again.

I will try and put up the next part of the tutorial series later today. I should apologize I haven’t been able to give a regular follow-up on that. Do I say stay tuned again and again? LOL.

Miscellaneous Blogbits

The latest stats show that nearly 3500 people have died in the past few days and this figure continues to rise. Imagine, you go to sleep in peace in the night, looking forward to the next day, another usual day and then the morning comes, but you don’t wake up. A demonic storm has taken you away with it, has separated you from your loved one, who again are either dead or alive. I am baffled by the whole incident. I cry for their misery. Alas, I am helpless. Man is helpless. Truly helpless.

I could go on and on with this, but I do not want to. Instead I will share some photos I collected throughout my online journey of information on this incident.

This baby is among the survivors and has been named “Cyclone”.

A refugee camp. For how long will they stay here?

Nearly 1000 fishermen are reported missed. I presume they are dead already. What else can I say?

When will the relief come?

May the Lord have mercy on all of them. Ameen.
