Develop Your Writing Idea

On my previous writing I tell about writing is easy, and how you get the the you writing idea, the simple thing is write about your personal experiences. Have you ever seen the movie : "Read It and Weep" it's about personal journal which become bestseller.
Starting from the easiest things. Write about you, about your hobbies, your holiday or your vacation, about the food you eat, about your family, etc. Now I want to share about how to make short writing.

• Firstly, choose your topic, for example you want to write about your vacation.
• Then, make a questions about that topic, use words What, Who, When, Where, Why and How
  
• Answer your own question.
• Arrange your answer into a paragraph, add words sentences to connect it
  

For example you want to write about your hobby, I give an example. I choose to write about one of my hobby. I want to write about music.
Ok, so I choose Music as my topic.

Then, I make questions about it.
What music I like ?
What music I usually hear ?
Who's my favorite musician ?
Who's my favorite singers ?
Why I like those people (singers or musicians) ?
When I usually heard music ?
What music instrument I play ?
etc. (expand your own questions)

I like any kind of music, almost all, I love pop, rock, jazz, and a classical.
I usually hear pop music, and sometimes rock and classic.
My favorite musicians is Alan Menken, and my favorite singer is Kelly Clarkson.
I like David Foster because he's a masterpiece on music, he made many music compositions, and I love Kelly Clarkslon because she has very beautiful voice.
I heard music if I drove and also when I'm alone in my room, and everywhere.
I can play some music Instrument, I can play guitar, a little bit piano, but I love singing.
etc

Then, connect each answer and arrange it into paragraph, feel free to add sentence, and also your own opinion, I give you the example below :

One of my hobby is music, I can play some music instrument through I'm not a pro. I can play guitar, also a little bit piano, but the most of all I love singing. I like any kind of music, I love pop, rock, jazz also clasical.

My favorite singer is the first American Idol, Kelly Clarkson. I love Kelly because she has very beautiful voice. I love her song Because of You, I made my demo tape by sing it, but I never watch her concert, because she never came to my country, I hope someday she'll come to my country and do the concert.

My favorite composer is Alan Menken, he create many Original Soundtracks for Disney Movies, his creation that I like so much is from the original soundtrack of Beauty and The Beast and Alladin.

Well, it needs a practice, the more you practice, you'll be more fluent. Keep writing and writing. Ok, Happy Writing.

Writing is Easy

Hi all, my purpose to built this blog is I want to share with you all I know about blogging, previously I share about how to decorate your blog, yeah, I don't deny that I also a beginner on blogging and still learn how to make a good blog. I learn and learn by browsing the Internet and I found that I want, the Internet gives you all the information, quickly and real time. The one thing that I want to share now is not about decorating blog or something that related with coding or html or other programming language, the thing that I wanna share now is about writing. The main thing of blogging is writing, you could leave your blog empty without a sentence or a word, maybe you make blog picture, but it must contain a word, you must tell about the picture that you put in.

But sometimes I'm confuse about my post, I don't know what should I wrote. I have no idea! Well, the best thing that I learn is, start from simple, start from the things you know, you see, your experiences, everything surround you. You can start from yourself, introducing yourself, your family, your hobbies, etc. For the first time people usually write about self introducing. Then, what else, almost of my friends blogs tell about their activity, their family, their vacation, and the things that happened to their live. Is that bad ? No, that's really really good. Starting point of being a writer is write that you want to write, and all things about five senses experiences. What you see, what you hear, what you smell, what your skin feels, and conversation with the people you met. And don't be lazy to read other articles, or writing from other writers, reading gives you more ideas, also spent your time to read writing tips from professional writers, and if the good idea comes to you, be hurry, take your pen, your computer, your notebook, or even your recording materials and start to write immediately.

OK, that's my tips, Happy Writing and Happy Blogging !!!!

Put MP3 Player On Blog

Few days ago, when I browsing to the internet, I found very good song from last session of American Idol, American Idol 7, titled Shout to The Lord in Studio Version, actually I have the live version from Idol Gives Back. I really really love that song and put it on my other blog : My Silent Hour and after I know how to put the MP3 player I want to share with you, I already shared in Indonesian Language below, and now I want to write in English.

Some webs provided MP3 player to put it on blog, such as aimini, beemp3, airmp3, or the lyrics web, but if you want to put your own song maybe it would help.

1. Google provided gadget facility which we could put on our blog, including MP3 player, just copy the code and paste to your blog, just click here to pick which gadget or MP3 you want.
2. If you have your own song, you could upload it on MP3 host, like filefreak, mp3upload, etc and got the URL of your song.
3. Insert song code on player and click Get the code
4. Put on the place you want in your blog.
   

You could also try on SCM Music Player , you could put more than one song, and choose whether you want it autoplay or not. For my blog on My Silent Hours I'm using this code :

<TABLE BORDER="3" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" BORDERCOLOR="#99CCFF" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#DBEDFF" BORDERCOLORDARK="#5B7997"><tr><td>
<object id="MediaPlayer1" width="300" height="45" classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,0,02,902"
standby="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player..." type="application/x-oleobject">
<param name="FileName" value="your-file.mid">
<param name="animationatStart" value="false">
<param name="transparentatStart" value="true">
<param name="autoStart" value="true">
<param name="showControls" value="true">
<param name="Volume" value="-100">
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" Name="MediaPlayer" src="your-file.mid" AutoStart="true" ShowStatusBar="1" volume="-1" HEIGHT="50" WIDTH="300"></embed></object>
</td></tr></table>

If you want to make it autoplay, you could change the parameter from :

<param name="autoStart" value="true">

to :

<param name="autoStart" value="false">

change "yourfile.mid" with your MP3 URL, for example : "www.sitename.com/songtitle.mp3" Ok, try it, thank you very much.
