Use of Multimedia on Web Pages

Click our post title to go to this new website on global warming awareness that we are just starting to work with the owner to promote using Google AdWords and blogging.

I wanted to point out http://www.earth-ship.org/ to you as an interesting use of multimedia embedded in a web page. When the site opens Captain Anderson the ship's owner explains his innovative program. A slide show creates additional interest as you listen to the audio.

I think that the site is interesting and uses media in a very enhancing way. Now just how can a blog work to enhance a site like this? Blogging allows readers to interact with the site owner to ask questions, get more information about his innovative Earth-Ship and to share their views on global warming.

Where you have a great site, including a blog adds a dynamic personal element to a website including viewers as well as drawing them in to participate in your discussion. Take a look and see what you think. We'll let you know when the blog is up so you can see how a blog rounds out the message of a website.

Syndicate Your Blog

So you've got your blog going and are really working hard at creating great content, what's next? Use your website to become your blog syndication tool.

We have several things that we have done to help syndicate our content and want to share them with you.

First make sure to install chicklets and easy subscribe buttons on your blog.

Second make sure to have a syndication page on your website pointing to your blog and your various news feeds. Here's our page http://www.mccordweb.com/web-design/syndicate.php. We also list our clients blog feeds and allow easy one click subscription.

Third consider a script generator. Here's ours http://www.mccordweb.com/web-design/feed-creator.php. We use FeedrollPro as our application. It is a subscription based tool, but allows for webmasters to style your feed to match their site and to syndicate your content. I do get site click-ins with this vehicle so I know that using this technique works to spread the word about your blog.

So get serious about your blog and then get busy promoting your blog through very easy syndication.
