Welcome to A New BlogHerald

May 14, 2007 | Filed Under Blog Herald Updates, Editorial, Features | 16 Comments

When Splashpress acquired the BlogHerald some six months ago, there were some changes that we planned on implementing, and I’m happy today to report that much of that is going to fruition today. Coupled with a new theme, courtesy of Brian Gardner, you can expect a renewed focus on all things blogging.

BlogHerald Update: Upgrading Our Spam Killing Powers

April 26, 2007 | Filed Under Blog Herald Updates, Editorial, General | Leave a Comment

Hi folks,
Just wanted to let you all know that we have installed Bad Behaviour 2 to enhance the BlogHerald’s comment and trackback spam killing powers. The BlogHerald gets a lot of spam, and most of it is caught by Akismet and Spam Karma 2 — but these two agents together aren’t perfect.
We are loathe […]

There was a brief post over at 901am.com yesterday by “admin” announcing the acquisition of 910am.com by Splashpress Media, the owners of the Blog Herald-:
We are pleased to announced that Splashpress Media has acquired 901am.com. We remain committed in bringing new media news throughout the day. We are currently working on moving the site to […]

The Blog Herald Shop Is Back Online

March 15, 2007 | Filed Under Blog Herald Updates, Blog Marketing and Monetization | Leave a Comment

The Blog Herald Shop had been offline for the past couple of months. Since we moved to our new servers, we couldn’t quite get the associate-o-matic code to work, and admittedly we’ve been busy focusing on making great content. But not wanting to see such a great resource put to waste, we’ve put some elbow […]

So Who Do Japanese Bloggers Like Best?

March 14, 2007 | Filed Under Blog Herald News, Blog Herald Updates, Bloggers, Blogging, Japan, Social Media | 4 Comments

Still on the topic of The Blog Herald Japan and our subsequent, unique glimpse into Japanese blogosphere, we’ve had a little internal search to see which posts from BH that have been translated have proved most popular, and thus which of our resident Blog Herald bloggers are most appealing to Japanese blogging tastes.
And we have […]

Should You Consider Human Translation For Your Blog?

March 14, 2007 | Filed Under Blog Herald Updates, Blog Marketing and Monetization, Blogging, General, Japan, Publishing | 9 Comments

Like many other blog owners, we’ve been having severe problems with automated translation tools, particularly Angsuman translator in our case–where either blank pages appear or one gets this message from Google:

We’re sorry…
… but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can’t process your […]

A Word About Comments Here At The BlogHerald

March 8, 2007 | Filed Under Blog Herald Updates, General | Leave a Comment

Just a quick word about comments. We like comments. We welcome all kinds of opinions and thought. But we get a lot of comment spam, here at the BlogHerald. We’ve got Akismet and Spam Karma 2 working over time to catch spam, but sometimes it gets a little overzealous and catches stuff it shouldn’t. We […]

Do You Tag Yourself?
May 16, 2008 | By Lorelle VanFossen | 2 Comments

Do you tag yourself? Honestly? No, this is not a game.
With everyone back on the tag versus categories versus tags bandwagon, have you checked to make sure you are tagging yourself?
Inside of Lorelle on WordPress is the tag attribute that turns “Lorelle on WordPress” into a tag.
<a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/" title="Lorelle on WordPress" rel="tag">Lorelle on WordPress</a>

A BIG Reason to Read a Pet’s Blog
May 16, 2008 | By Andrew G.R. | Leave a Comment

I’ve often taken a snarky approach when it comes to people who set up blogs for their pets. I barely want to read about humans’ mundane lives, let alone issues with litter and pooper scoopers. However, there might be a new reason to subscribe to Lucky, Fido or Buddy’s blog.
Animals’ ability to prognosticate […]

Yahoo Nabs Safari Plugin Inquisitor
May 16, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | Leave a Comment

Inquisitor is a cool plugin for Safari, and now Yahoo owns it. The developer, David Watanabe, won’t be joining Yahoo, but will continue the development.
I look forward to assisting Yahoo! in refining and extending the Inquisitor user experience beyond where it is today. I truly believe that Inquisitor and its users can only benefit, both […]

YouTube Gives You Insight
May 16, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | 1 Comment

Now you can get some more statistics for your YouTube videos, with the recently launched Insight tool, available in your YouTube account (under Manage my Videos, which is probably temporary). The new stats feature is described like this by Tracy Chan, YouTube product manager:
For example, uploaders can see how often their videos are viewed in […]

Google the New Number 1 in the US
May 16, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | Leave a Comment

I thought they were already, but obviously not so. Google has been the leading search engine, but overall Yahoo is the most popular web site according to ComScore’s rankings. No more though, according to an AP report:
According to comScore, Google’s unique U.S. audience in April was 141.1 million, an 18 percent increase from the same […]

Blogging from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
May 16, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | Leave a Comment

Stephanie Stockman is a NASA contractor working at the Goddard Space Flight Center, which is cool by itself. What’s even cooler is that she’s blogging it, talking about rocketships in voice and text, as well as posting photos, something every space nerd should follow for sure. Her blog is Geosteph, which incidentally is her Twitter […]
