Using a Keyword Tool

I don’t know much about keywords but I've been reading more about this. What I’ve noticed is that  the right keyword  helps my site get indexed by search engines. This is because search engines make use of keywords during search results. However, I try not to overuse it because it may cause 'spamming' (or being banned by search engines). 

 To select the right keywords, I usually use the google  adword keyword tool. You can find it here. Simply enter the required information and click search. Analyze the results and decide if it will be helpful for your blog.

Few RSS Feeds Directories

I'm not quite familiar with RSS. Just recently I’ve read something about RSS feeds and I started to explore them. I've noticed that sending RSS feeds via directories resulted to additional visitors on the site (especially my other site). So I've decided to make a list of RSS Feed directories that is useful to me. I’ll be adding more in the future. 

By the way, here is the definition of RSS according to Wikipedia. RSS or Really Simple Syndication is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format. An RSS document (which is called a "feed", "web feed", or "channel") includes full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and authorship.

Here are some RSS directories. (I have included some pinging sites in addition to the list I made here)

4. Put the second object on top of the first object for the eye.

6. Select both objects and click copy  located at the upper left menu bar. (See Figure 1) 
7. Paste the copied objects on the other side of the eye.

9. Drag the line from top  to bottom.
10. Determine the line thickness.
11. Click ‘Arrange’ (upper menu bar) and Convert outline to object.

15. Click ‘Arrange’ and then ‘Convert to curves’
16. Create the lips by adding or deleting some nodes and shaping its sides.
