Wow!
It’s a good week…
I was on TV yesterday and now this blog is a feature in Business World Online. Thanks to writer Jeffrey Valsino for doing a phone interview with me. I enjoyed every moment of it and the pleasure was all mine.
Jeffrey writes about the story of this blog (among others), entitled the “Pinoy Blogger” - how I started without any knowledge and how it has grown day-by-day. Thanks for the nice article, Jeffrey. I’d also like to take this opportunity to THANK YOU, my DEAR READERS for making every minute of gmtristan.com worthwhile and fun! I couldn’t have done it without you.
But there’s still a lot of goals to be made, more posts to be written and more sharing of thoughts between us friends.
Here’s an excerpt:
Mr. Macutay told BusinessWorld in a telephone interview that he started his blog site just during the first quarter of this year. But his blog already attracts a sizeable audience, with as many as 2,500 hits (or page visits) daily. His blog was also considered by gaming fans as one of the “10 most influential blogs” this year.
He admits to having zero knowledge of web design when he started. He said he began blogging in free blog hosting sites, following the blog phenomenon spawned by social networking sites like Friendster and MySpace.
“Those who may want to start a blog can start in blog sites like blogger.com. That is zero cost to you, and does not demand much of web design skills,” he said. He however explained that blogs in these sites are “what-you-see-is what-you-get-type,” which means you cannot deviate much in the design or color scheme, for example, from what the blog sites implement or offer.
As such, Mr. Macutay decided to have his own domain (which gives him his own “dot com” Internet address). He advises bloggers who want to have their own domain to scout around in the Internet for the best prices. “You can sometimes get the domain for free, as long as you get the web hosting from the same company,” he said.
