How to See All Your PWG Posts In A Single Page

PWG is just a few days old but its already made some impressive strides and I am very excited to think of what the future holds for this wonderful site and its members. Today I was wondering about something and came up with a solution so thought I should share it with all so that the whole community benefits from it. I wanted to see all my posts at one place but was unable to do so and the only way that looked possible was to scroll through all posts to find that of mine.

I have three posts as of now before this one so that is possible but may not be much fun when I have a larger archive or articles. I was talking to Laurie Tysinger, one of the admin of the site and she suggested something which worked like a charm. She said use a common tag in all your posts which may be even the initials of your name. I did that when I click on that common tag on any of my posts I can see all my posts in a single page without having to scroll through all other posts.

I would like to suggest that all members so this so that they don't face this problem and as the site is still new and no member has a lot of articles you can do it easily now.

It feels like the 1st time

Hi there,

I'm Ben I am just new here. I am technically a newbie writer. I am still at the dark so I will be very glad if some people would give me beginner tips so I can start. I am also a writer in bubblews. I join this group so I can diversify my earning stream. I also want to know what rules I need to follow here. Do I get paid via PayPal? How many characters is the required minimum? I promised to put up quality material once I get the hang of this. How do I get other writers to read my work or how do I read other writers’ work?

I know I may sound a bit stupid, but I have to admit I don’t know anything before I can ever learn anything at all. So I hope I get some help.

The Philippines will rise.

The Philippines will rise by Nikkoy..

Philippines comprises of 7, 107 islands and can be found in southeast asia near the pacific. The geographical location of it is prone to storm since it near the pacific ocean. The country is riched in natural resources.

It has a lot of beautiful places, tourist spots and resting places for local and international communities. It is known for the hospitality of its people. Ordinary people are content in how they live and strive to make a living. It is also known due to its endurance and strength after a lot of tragedies that happened.

The land of the Philippines has suffered a lot since '90s. From corrupt officials to devastating storms and oppositions between groups of people. Recently in 2013, sequence of unimaginary events happened. First is the exposure of the corruption inside the government which is the Pork Barrel Scam wherein billions of pesos or hundred millions of dollars were grafted to few and mighty people. Another is the war between the militant groups and the armed forces of the Philippines. Several soldiers and militants died even civilians were affected due to this outbreak of bullets and guns. The worst is the lashing and destruction of the historical Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) at Visayas (Leyte, Samar and near islands). The government, local and national prepared for its coming and tracked its path. Live news were broadcasted and we did not realize that it is very strong that it produced large and continuous storm surges that brought the great destruction in the islands of Leyte and Samar. Almost 7000 lives were taken to that storm and more are missing and unidentified.

This nation has suffered a lot and is again in the position of building itself.

A statement that my professor given regarding this nation is this and verily disliked it "This nation is worst, there are a lot of bad people and criminals, do not work here after you graduated. Work abroad."

That stament irritated my good ears. How can she say those words? Well, i think that is her judgment, a quick judgment depending on the situation.

I believe in her statement but what i do not want is that she humiliated her own country.

I know in my heart that there is something good will happen in this nation. I believe that GOD is cleansing this country from its sins and doing new things. He is faithful to HIS promises and to His people.

This nation will not be a laughing stock of other countries anymore but will be the center of attraction because GOD is with us.

Please trash my previous statement- we all are same

I once said that most tourists from this country do nothing but waste their time while on sight seeing trips to other countries. It was in the reference to my 5 days' holiday visit to Bali. At that time I though tourists from other countries especially from Europe and America try to learn about culture, way of life, food and lifestyle when they visit other countries.

I was wrong, I assure you my previous statement was not absolutely true. I see a heck of lot of Europeans and Americans who have spent their whole trip beach hopping. I think I made my statement a bit generalized when I said they spent all their time in all good things.

Most travelers this summer I see here are supermarket shopping, getting drunk in backpacker bars, then recovering on the beach or tanning in the park. Maybe I should travel a bit more and learn not to make stupid statements. Absorbing the cultural aspect was not to be seen anywhere.

Great Free Music From TV

If you tend to watch a lot of TV, especially network shows, and you love the music you hear, you might love today's NoiseTrade free download. The Secret Road "As Heard On TV - Volume II" features quite a few songs you might have heard. It's a wonderful sampler from shows such as:

Nashville
Ghost Whisperer
The Neighbors
Pretty Little Liars
The Middle

While I'd love to have seen a few songs from The Originals or Lost Girl, I have to admit, I like the variety of here. There are 13 songs and the entire album is free. All you have to do is visit NoiseTrade from the link above and click Download Music at the top of the album image. You'll need to enter your email address and zip code. Visit your email for the download link.

NoiseTrade doesn't use your email address to spam you. You may receive promotional emails from the artists on the album and a few emails a week about the latest free downloads, but you can unsubscribe at any time.

Also, you can "tip" the artists if you want, but it's not required. However, if you really like the album, a little goes a long way. Plus, for this particular album, all tips go to the Musicians On Call charity.

Introduction and Questions

First let me say that I'm thrilled to be a part of a new writing community where we get paid to post about what we like and socialize. It's nice after a long day of writing for others to come somewhere and just have fun.

I wanted to introduce myself to the community. I'm a major tech geek and I've been a freelance writer for eight years now. Though I keep putting it off, I will have several blogs/sites up and running in just a few months. I'm extremely excited to finally have the time to start working on my own personal projects while advancing my freelancing career.

Just so you know what to expect from me, most of my posts will likely deal with the latest tech news, music, writing tips and useful sites that I find. Some weeks, I may not be able to socialize much at all due to other projects, but I'll do my best to be here several times a week for a new post and to check out what everyone else is doing.

If you're interested in where I got my online writing start, check out my (mainly tech) pieces on Yahoo Contributor Network.

Now I have a few questions for everyone.
1. What are your interests?
2. Are there any tech subjects or news you'd like me to cover?

Feel free to comment. I'll check back often to see what everyone has to say.

Morning Reminder: "Do not boast on yourself"

Great morning to everyone. Valentines day has ended but the season of love would not. I am grateful for today for another life that GOD has given me. I just started this day with a bread "pandesal" with peanut butter as breakfast. I also did some house chores to start the day with productivity.

I am glad to be part of this group and i am still unfamiliar on how this works. What i know is this a community of give and take.

I just met a word today about humility and being grateful. According to 1 Corinthians 1:30, "those who boast boast in the LORD". I am just compelled with this verse because these season of my life i always boast on my works, achievements, etc. I realized that life is not centered on me. The key to enjoy life is to glorify GOD. In that you will not feel insecurity and sadness when someone does not appreciate your works.

Glad to start the day with a reminder. Do not boast on yourself

Infolinks with Google Adsense? Yes!

Did you know that infolinks can be used in addition to google adsense? That's right! Google has officially responded to a question posed by a social media expert that I follow on twitter and has said that the use of 3rd party ads on your site are perfectly alright provided they:

1. Do not attempt to associate themselves with google ads.
2. Are clearly of a different look and template than google ads.
3. Are not linked to 3rd party material deemed unsuitable by google ads.
4. If competitors ads are similar to google ads, take google ads as precedent and change the other.
5. They do not cause pop ups or install hardware.

There you have it. Unfortunately that leaves a LOT of options out, but there is one which we can make use of on Blogger and I encourage Eden to do so in order to maximize our earnings.

The name of the company is Infolinks and can be found by clicking here.

As I continue to learn more about maximizing our earnings on this blog I will keep us updated.

Thanks for all the contributions so far - we need to start gearing out efforts towards people outside of the PWG as well. I think the recipes are a great option and do perfectly well on pinterest.

Keep it up fellas.

Tips to Handle Writer's Block

Writer's block is something all writer face at some point in their writing career. You just can't come up with ideas and writing suddenly seems to be a daunting task. The good news is that there is no need to panic when faced with a writer's block as you can easily get over it and again start writing great articles.

When you face a writer's block don't be disheartened as you are not alone and there are a number of other writers who have faced it and have successfully got over it. You should avoid thinking too much about it because anyone who does writing faces it at some point in their career. You would get the problem even more complicated if you continuously keep thinking about it. The first thing you can do is try and calm yourself down which can often help the mind come up with new ideas to write about. You can even do some meditation or just sit down calmly to do so.

You can even go out for a walk or spend some time with your loved ones as it will help to relax your mind. Your mind can be diverted from the stress of a writer's block which can often be the solution to get over this problem. You should never allow the writer's block to get you down and often the best solution is to take your mind off it by taking some time off and relaxing.
