WordPress Platform vs Blogger Platform – A Comparison

Blogging is a great plus point to your business because it enables you to communicate with your customers directly through your blog. You can also promote your newest products at a very low price through blogging.

These are the two main platforms for free blog hosting in today’s world so far, they are Blogger.com and WordPress.com. WordPress and BlogSpot are free blog-services that permit users to create their own portfolio or website online.

Here is the comparison of features of WordPress and BlogSpot given below, which will help you pick the best one to explore the world of blogging.

Comparison Between WordPress Blog and Blogspot (Blogger):

Blogger is more appropriate for setting up a journal or conventional blog format where you can post pictures, news, works in progress rather than a portfolio. The WordPress is started to provide services to users which offers both free and paid blogging platform.

WordPress.com has 100+ templates with wide range of styles. It also allows some customization like changing background, header and number of columns. Whereas the BlogSpot has plenty of template options but extra ways to customize the layout and style.

 

Image storage in WordPress free blog hosting services is up to three Gigabyte of space while it is up to one Gigabyte in BlogSpot. WordPress dashboard is more user-friendly and rich in high end features than blogger’s dashboard.

Blogger permits you to create up to 10 static pages while the WordPress has an ability to make static pages which are listed in separate menus. The WordPress does not allow you to run advertisements on your site whereas Blogger does.

WordPress enables you to sort posts with tags or categories while the BlogSpot has a tag option, but it is not that good means to display in the sidebar for your readers.

The WordPress community has developed hundreds of SEO plug-ins to improve its functionality. The absence of keyword tag and right Meta description creates biggest problem with Blogger SEO.

Both systems offer widgets for adding up a list of well-liked posts, archives etc, but Blogger has more options including slideshows and AdSense. The WordPress is said to be much more flexible than Blogspot, but the BlogSpot is far more secure than WordPress.

Depending on your knowledge and necessities choose the best free blog host for your blog. BlogSpot is one of the simplest blogging platforms for beginners and is very effortless to use but if you are looking for a more professional setup, go for the WordPress.

Pakistan – Energy Crisis

PROBLEM:

Energy is the most important sources for economic growth of a country. Unfortunately Pakistan has to face a major energy crisis in Natural gas, Power and Oil in next two to three years. This would delay the Economy of Pakistan (which is already in complexity). The high cost of the import of Oil, Construction of Big Dams, uncertain regional security environment attached with lack of national agreement to build dams are likely to delay quick resolution of energy crises. This energy deficit will lead to inflation. Similarly subsidies of billions of rupees have to be doped out “Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA)” to bear loses. This would affect the national exchequer heavily.

An Energy Crisis is threatening large in upcoming years. There is an expected short fall up to 50% because of increase in demand and supply gas up to 3,000 MW. Pakistan’s total energy requirement would increase by 48% to 80 million tons of oil equivalent in 2011.

Pakistan energy sector comprises of major sources with share of 50.4% of gas, followed by oil 29%, hydro electricity 11%, and coal 7.6%. Consequently, Pakistan imports energy to overcome the problem and maintain standard of living of people. The major shortfall is expected in natural gas supplies. Pakistan had 28 trillion cubic feet reserves of natural gas in 2006 but due to increase in its demand it is expected to be exhausted in next two decades.

Pakistan has a huge demand to generate power through oil but we can meet only 20% of our requirement through original production and rest of oil is imported from Gulf States and other countries of world. No major oil field so far has been discovered in last three decades. Oil demand is expected to double by 2015 and quadruple by 2025. This would lead to a amazing trade shortage, and growing of general prices.

Pakistan has a total hydro potential of 40,000 MW against which it generates only 6500 MW. If the dams are not built there would be short fall of 40 million acre feet of water by the year 2006 and 108 million acre feet by 2013. Consequently power shortage will be up to 11,750 MV per year. It will affect agricultural, industry, and particularly the storage capacity of Mangla, Terbela and Chashma Dams will be reduced due to mud deposits.

Pakistan has world’s seven largest reserves of coal after discovery of THAR. These reserves are still untouched due to lack of technique in coal mining. Similarly solar and wind energy in coastal areas of Baluchistan and Sindh have a lot of potential to generate electricity but acquisition of technology at an enormous cost makes this a unbelievable source. Pakistan has only two nuclear plants providing two percent of electricity to our country. Population explosion is another cause of energy crises.

The government should make strategies to overcome the energy crises. The government plans to generate 7880 MW electricity by 2011 out of it 4860 MW is to be generated by firing natural gas. It should maximize the utilization of hydroelectric resources through building of dams such as KALABAGH DAM, BHASHA DAM etc. to produce cheap electricity. It should improve relations with international and Regional Corporation. It should activate in THAR coal project with the assistance of china to address energy crises. It should obtain new policies to overcome the problem through renewable energy resources: i.e. Solar, Wind and Tidal energy.

It should take positive steps to finalize international gas pipe line projects i.e. IPI (India, Pakistan, Iran) Gas pipe line project which meet the needs of gas demands of Pakistan and possibly India.

It should make effort to fulfill the project with TURKEMANISTAN and AFGHANISTAN gas pipe line which was floated by TURKEMANISTAN in 1991 to meet the demands of gas for Pakistan. Similarly a Sharjah based company initiated and sponsored a gas import project through an offshore pipe line from QATAR TO PAKISTAN IN 1990 but it is still under consideration.

CONCLUSION:

At present Pakistan is pursuing a multidimensional pro-longed strategy to ensure adequate and uninterrupted oil and gas supply and other energy resources to sustain the present pattern of energy for the rapid national economic growth. Greater reliance on gas, aggressive pursuit of hydroelectric power generation, and enhancing nuclear power generation capacity are some of the key elements of this strategy.

Pakistan is also seeking to expand its primary energy supply base by encouraging oil exploration and power generation companies to undertake energy project in Pakistan. The regional gas pipe line projects in which Pakistan is actively pursuing to meet its expanding domestic energy demands.

These are the prerequisite for resolving energy crises that, unless resolved promptly, would cast a long shadow on the short and medium term objectives of economic growth and development.

Silicon Valley billionaire funding creation of artificial libertarian islands

Pay Pal founder and early Facebook investor Peter Thiel has given $1.25 million to an initiative to create floating libertarian countries in international waters, according to a profile of the billionaire in Details magazine.

Thiel has been a big backer of the Seasteading Institute, which seeks to build sovereign nations on oil rig-like platforms to occupy waters beyond the reach of law-of-the-sea treaties. The idea is for these countries to start from scratch–free from the laws, regulations, and moral codes of any existing place. Details says the experiment would be “a kind of floating petri dish for implementing policies that libertarians, stymied by indifference at the voting booths, have been unable to advance: no welfare, looser building codes, no minimum wage, and few restrictions on weapons.”

“There are quite a lot of people who think it’s not possible,” Thiel said at a Seasteading Institute Conference in 2009, according to Details. (His first donation was in 2008, for $500,000.) “That’s a good thing. We don’t need to really worry about those people very much, because since they don’t think it’s possible they won’t take us very seriously. And they will not actually try to stop us until it’s too late.”

The Seasteading Institute’s Patri Friedman says the group plans to launch an office park off the San Francisco coast next year, with the first full-time settlements following seven years later.

Thiel made news earlier this year for putting a portion of his $1.5 billion fortune into an initiative to encourage entrepreneurs to skip college.

Another Silicon Valley titan, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, announced in June that he would be funding the “Clock of the Long Now.” The clock is designed to keep ticking for 10,000 years, and will be built in a mountain in west Texas

4 Tips to Keep Your Teen Safe on Facebook

According to a 2010 Pew Internet Project study, nearly three fourths of American teenagers use social networking sites, with Facebook being the most popular by far. But some parents are still skeptical of the site; 55 percent of parents discourage their kids from making a social media profile, according to a recent study by Common Sense Media, a nonprofit that analyzes digital and traditional media.

But parents can set reasonable guidelines with their teens to keep them safe online, says Caroline Knorr, parenting editor of Common Sense Media. “Our position is that parents shouldn’t fear social media,” she says. “Kids are embracing these technologies. As a parent, it’s part of your responsibility to engage with them.” Here are some of her hints to help your child safely use Facebook.

[See how social media sites impact high school students in the classroom.]

1. Be aware: Parents should know whether their child has a Facebook page or not. “They should have a good understanding of what types of things their kids are posting publicly,” she says.

2. Help your child manage privacy settings: Knorr recommends that parents sit down with their child as they choose privacy settings on the site. Make sure your child’s profile isn’t publicly searchable on Google, that settings showing your child’s location are turned off, and that photos are private or visible by friends only.

“Parents should learn what those privacy settings mean and discuss why it’s important to keep some things private.” Facebook often changes its privacy rules, so check in frequently, she says.

3. Don’t embarrass them: “Parents need to understand that social networking in today’s world is how kids experiment with their own identity. It’s a normal developmental stage,” she says. “I think parents should try to refrain from commenting, because you may set up a dynamic where your kid will block you [on Facebook], and you might not know about it.”

4. Speak up: If you do see something on your teen’s Facebook page that could damage his or her reputation or put them in danger, talk to them about it—face to face. “We’re so used to communicating electronically,” she says. “But there are a lot of conversations that are important to have in person.”

iPhone 5 Could Be Revealed September 7

A report from one Japanese website marks September 8 as the date of Apple’s next media event, at which some expect the company to launch the iPhone 5.

The company has historically released its new phones at its summer Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). This year, in the wake of the Verizon iPhone 4 release, that tradition failed to pan out.

Apple’s annual September media event seems like a logical alternative, although it has in the past been reserved for iPod launches.

The date of the event, like most things Apple, is still safely in rumor territory. MacRumors says that it has asked blog Kodawarisan for the source of the date, and found it came from “a source in the know.”

Even if the date is accurate, it might not be when Apple decides to reveal the iPhone 5. AllThingsD heard from “sources familiar with the matter” that the iPhone 5 wouldn’t launch until October.

Update: We originally reported the rumored date of the media event as September 8. This is true in Japanese time. We have updated the article to reflect US time zones, which makes the date September 7.
