Blogging from YouTube
As you videobloggers already know, you can upload your videos directly to Blogger. But for the rest of the video watchers out there, did you know you can just as easily post YouTube videos to your blog?
All you need to do is set up your YouTube account to post videos to your blog using the "Share" button. You'll enter your Blogger information once, and from then on it's one-click sharing from any YouTube video page!
See our help article for full instructions.

Show off your photos with the new Slideshow
Take a look at our latest tool for your blog: the Slideshow page element. This feature lets you add a slick little slideshow of your photos from Picasa Web Albums, Flickr, Photobucket, or any site that supports Media RSS.
The photos will show up in your blog’s sidebar, gently fading into one another. Your readers will be able to go forward and backward, pause, and click through to the photo’s web page.
You can also make a slideshow of public photos based on a tag or label.
Like all page elements, Slideshow requires that your blog is using Layouts templates. Still need to switch? Read our help article on the topic.
In case you missed it: Want to see everyone’s photos? Watch Blogger Play.

To-Do List (the book)
Sasha Cagen’s To-Do List blog (which you may recognize as a blog of note) has just been released as a book! Both blog and book are collections of, well, to-do lists, mailed or emailed in by people. Think PostSecret meets Getting Things Done.
Watch the trailer, read the blog, buy the book, and make sure that you have an awesome screen name.

New from AdSense: video units
AdSense recently introduced a feature called video units, that lets you include relevant YouTube video on your blog, and make money from ads on it. Here’s what they have to say about it:
"We're excited about the launch of video units -- a new way to enrich your blog with quality, relevant video content in an embedded, customizable player. Simply embed a snippet of code and have relevant YouTube partner content streamed to your blog. You can choose categories of video to target to your site, select content from individual YouTube partners, or have video automatically targeted to your blog's content. Companion and text overlay ads are relevant and non-intrusive. To further blend the YouTube player into your blog, you can also customize the color scheme and layout as well as choose from three different player sizes."
AdSense Help has some more information about video units. Once you’ve created the code for a video unit, you can easily add it to your blog’s template using an HTML/JavaScript page element.

Subscribe to Comments - by email!
Last night we pushed a small-but-crazy-useful new feature for all Blogger blogs: subscribing to comments via email. This makes it a lot easier to stay in the conversational loop after you’ve commented on a post somewhere. For example, you could follow along with these discussions from some recent Blogs of Note:
Mustaches of the Nineteenth Century: An Astute Mustache Observation
The Joy of Sox: WS 1: Red Sox 13, Rockies 1
Wildfires 2007: All homes saved on Santa Ysabel reservation
You'll notice the new checkbox at the bottom of the Comment page, in the identity box:
In order to receive follow-ups via email, you’ll need to post your comment using your Google Account. We only send comments to your verified Google Account so that someone else can’t use this feature to send you email you didn’t sign up for.

Blogger Play, in Gadget Form
Have you been enjoying Blogger Play? We introduced it here last month and so far it’s been mesmerizing viewers across the Internet with the latest photos as they’re uploaded to Blogger blogs.
Today we’re letting you take Blogger Play with you to your iGoogle homepage with the Blogger Play Google Gadget:
Click the button to get Play on your homepage!

Congratulations to Frank Warren, whose 4th PostSecret book, A Lifetime of Secrets, comes out today and is climbing up the Amazon bestseller charts (it’s #50 as of this writing)!
Take a look at its trailer:

Blogging for the Environment
October 15, a week from today, is Blog Action Day, and the theme this year is the environment. If you have a blog and want to join in, all you have to do is use that day to post something related to the environment, in whatever way, shape, or form you prefer. You can pick an environmental issue that has meaning for you and let us know why it's important. Organize a beach or neighborhood cleanup and tell us about it. If you're into fiction writing, give us a story with an environmental theme. Have a podcast, videoblog, or photoblog? Join the fun! The idea here is to have a mass effect on public awareness by sharing as many ideas in as many ways as possible.
If you're game for participating, go register your blog with the 7,000+ other blogs (with 5 million readers!) that are already signed up. Also, see the Blog Action Day blog for more on how bloggers can change the world.

perbedaan suatu keagungan
dengan adanya perbedaan dunia menjadi menarik, coba kalau tidak ada perbedaan alangkah membosankanya hidup ini, segala hal pasti berbeda, dari hal yang kecil hingga yang besar marilah kita sadari akan pentingya arti dari semua perbedaan tanpa memaksaan perbedaan yang ada pada diri kita.
cinta itu indah
tidak mau memaksakan! yang sangat penting bisa saling mengerti dan menyadari akan kekurangan dan kelebihanya masing-masing.
