I must admit, this is a long overdue post as I should have made this about 2 months ago. But hey! It is better to be late than never. I just hope John Raven will buy my excuses, lol!. Anyway, I think I already mentioned before that I am into forum posting and DreamTeamMoney forum is one of them. It was Silveraden, the humble but intelligent blog owner of Myseoblog.net who recommended this forum to me and I did not have a second thought of joining.
Surprisingly, John Raven the wonderful forum Admin liked my blog and approved Humane Blogging Tips as one of the Informative Blogs. What does that mean? Well, I have a privilege of having my own sub-forum wherein I can submit my articles which is a big and yet free promotion on my part. In addition, John also created an additional sub-forum upon my suggestion – All About Parenting, which is also my favorite blog topic.
Right now, Humane Blogging Tips is a Lifetime Supporter of DTM forum and it feels wonderful to be one.
What is the effect to me as a Blogger?
I got to meet wonderful bloggers and learn more through their posts. But then, being noticed and appreciated through your work is something that motivates us to do more, unless you hire someone to do that to you.
Anyway, I seldom do this but below is the PM of John Raven to me as we are having a conversation.
If you receive a message like this from a very busy man, what will you feel?
What is the effect on my blogs?
Being motivated may be different from the actual effect to my blogs. I am an active member of 5 forums and DTM forum is currently the second highest forum that gives me traffic, second to Sitepoint. The greater effect is that my Father Blogger dot Com blog is also getting visitors from them and even receiving inspiring comments.
Enough of what I am saying, I am not going to tell you that DTM forum is the best forum, you can join and let it be yourself to discover what is in store for you.
You can visit their forum at DreamTeamMoney forum and you do not have to worry; it is totally free and I will not even earn a dime if you join through my link.
Happy posting!
You can also visit my latest blog - Father Blogger dot Com as it is being updated daily. Well, almost.

Daily Writing Tips – An Effective Guide for Effective Writing
Photo from Qwurky
This is my 5th time that I am writing about a blog. Please note that this is not a blog review and I am not getting paid to do so. If you will check my side bar, I am using Blogs I Admire instead of Blogroll. This is simply because I really admire them, and Daily Writing Tips is definitely one of them. Actually, I learned about them when I was looking for a blog that can help me improve my writing. Now I can say that I found the right blog and here are some of the reasons why.
1.0 Grammar 101. This is our most common problem, I guess. There are some bloggers who request me to visit their blogs and ask me to check if their grammar is correct. This is because they thought their English is bad that drives their readers away. I felt glad somehow because this means that my grammar is correct. Not until I start browsing Grammar 101. I discovered some confusing words like shall and will. If you are not sure on what to use, you better visit this category.
2.0 Correct spelling. Actually, I was hesitant to visit it at first. I thought I am already good in spelling and besides, I can always use the spelling checker at MS Word. However, I was amazed how they are discussing the topic. They always seem to remind me about my elementary teacher. It is funny that now that I am writing articles, I forget the correct spelling of simple words. Actually, they had this small spelling quiz and I cannot believe that my score is only 80%. You have to check this out.
3.0 Common misused words. I must admit, I have older posts that have misused words. This is because I thought I was using the correct ones. Sometimes if we use a word many times and no one corrects us, we already thought we are correct. One good example is the word famous; it is only recently that I realized that it should not be used for people who did bad things like murderers. So what is the right adjective to describe them? If you are not sure with your answer, research deeply instead of making a wild guess.
4.0 Punctuation marks. Are you using them correctly? How long is your sentence? How many punctuation marks are in it? This problem is sometimes being ignored since readers may still understand what you are writing even if there are some mistakes in punctuation. I remember I mentioned in one of my previous posts that comma and period are beside each other in keyboards. With this, I strongly suggest that you review your posts again and again before submission.
5.0 Vocabulary. Most of the times, our readers may get confused with the words we used. In worst cases, they will stop reading our post even if it has an interesting topic. This is because there are readers who like simpler words while some don’t. Readers admire bloggers who has the ability to choose words to suits the sentence. That is why frequent reading is also important. Improving our vocabulary is endless Remember it is the words that really convince first time visitors to visit again. It is our cream and crop.
With this, I am recommending this blog to all of you even if you think you can write well.
If you want to make your content king, then improve your writing skills.

Steve Pavlina dot Com: The Smart Site that can make you Smarter
It is very seldom that I talk about a site or a blog. This is because I want to be careful in what I am sharing. I do make mistakes but I try not to add them especially when it concerns in endorsing people. Another thing, I only want to endorse blogs that are really helpful or serve as an inspiration to me not only in blogging but also as a person. Now, here is a site I think some of you has viewed and are familiar with. But for those who have not learned about this, I am strongly suggesting you visit his site. Here are some of the good reasons why:
1.0 He started as a junk. This is a not a pleasant introduction for a man who has 1.8 million visitors a month in his site. But this is true; he has been jailed for stealing things at the age of 19. In the middle of nowhere to run, he chose to survive and he did. He may not have the same religion that you most of you have but his writings will definitely amaze you and make you think for a while and question yourself. His long but very detailed About Steve Pavlina says it all. This is the most comprehensive and inspiring human life story I ever read.
2.0 He will teach you how to read. Just like some of you, reading long articles might make us fall asleep, that is if you just read and never stick into your mind what you are reading. I must admit, I feel it is a waste of time reading every word that people write in their site. I am not a wide reader per se. I feel that experience can teach me more rather than just reading. But this man changed my views somehow. When I started reading his articles, I realized that reading is a must and this is more sensible than working long hours in an office just to make others richer.
3.0 He has a forum for humans. This may sound offensive for other quality forums so I have to clear myself. His forum talks about the real problems about being human. Parenting, relationships, personal problems that you cannot mention to your parents and spouses, personal development, technical knowledge and did I mention earning money? There are other important topics that are being discussed in his forum that makes humans to live decently, and it will be space consuming if I mention all of them.
4.0 He is a normal blogger. His site has no big banners and flashing and irritating ads. But he is making a very comfortable amount of money and that is what makes him normal. I do not mean to be rude to John Chow and Problogger because both of them have equal quality sites in their own rights. The truth is I am an honest to goodness member of their numerous subscribers. However, it is the simplicity and originality that strikes me to Steve Pavlina’s site, as well as to all kinds of bloggers rich and poor, Christians and others. In short, he talks, blogs and response in a normal way.
5.0 He will make you change by yourself. Change is the only permanent thing in this world, and people change every now and then. Steve Pavlina’s site will not convince you to change through his writings. If you will analyze the contents of his writings, he is not selling something very obviously. He is just telling what is happening to his daily life including his shortcomings. What he is always trying to say is that to check ourselves by sharing his ideas and experiences. In short, he will not make you a better person. He will make you look at the mirror and ask yourself, do I really need to change?
With this, I am personally inviting you to visit him at Steve Pavlina.com.
I am an NOT an affiliate of Steve Pavlina and even if there is an opportunity to sell him, I will still do it for free. This is because I truly believe that the free things that you receive, you should also share it for free.

Delve into the mind of a Human Blogger
With this, I am much honored to be among the bloggers who appeared in her 100th post, while she gives her sincerest gratitude. To prove this, I took time a make a poem just for her, though I have not done it to anyone for a very long time. Here it goes:
Delve into the mind of a Budding Blogger
In this wonderful world of blogging
Where all kinds of humans have bonding
No race, no status, no age, no religion
All humans are invited to join the session
As long as your mind is firm and clean
It does not matter where you have been
You can talk about anything under the sun
You can even shout, pout and point a gun
Everybody here has his or her own purpose
Money, fame, or just even a pink rose
Some experts have high talent fee
While some of them do this for free
But beware of the devils on line
Disguising as a guest who talks fine
They may look like a certified email
But if you open it, your PC will fail
And there are also non-humans
Who can join in without hands
Viruses are just out there
Waiting for the chance to enter
But you can also meet a friend
Who will be there until the end
He can be nice, wise and wild
Or she can be just a simple child
But with a lot of hidden talent
Even if she is only a student
She is just as young as my daughter
Eleven, twelve, it does not matter
Because she is such a sweet and deep writer
Delve into the mind of a budding blogger!
I hope this girl would continue inspire a lot more bloggers and just hope she will still keep her feet into the ground when she reached her dreams.

An Article About an Article Specialist
During my first month of blogging, I met a problogger through MyBlogLog, by the name of Article Specialist. Just like any blogger, he invited me to visit his site so I did. Since he has many useful blogging tips that I need, I keep visiting his site. As I go along, I noticed some of his unique characteristics that truly made him a specialist, in which I want to share them with you:
1.0 He has a showcase of his very informative blogs that is updated daily except on Sundays. When I asked him if he still has enough time to sleep, I was surprised that he sleeps more hours than I do. I guess Sundays are for his family, his church obligation or maybe a simple day-off.
2.0 He collects great blogging tips from other sites and posts them with his own words, without forgetting to give credit to the originator, and he calls some of them as mentor. You will notice the link.
3.0 He includes parenting tips, family tips and other personal development related topics in his blog, which means he is also concerned in making our world a better place to live in, just like me.
4.0 He is a humble and down-to-earth human. With his status; he said sorry to me one time when he forgot to click to PM (Private Message) in which it does not even matter to me even if his message was send publicly.
5.0 He is a human problogger. He tells me my petty mistakes and provides detailed tips on how to improve my craft, of course with free of charge. I felt his human heart when I included him as my mentor in this field, and motivated me more by telling me that he also learns from my blogs.
6.0 He owns a site where you can submit quality articles, even from your own blog; and enjoy a free real promotion to your site. As of this posting, Article Highlight has 19,005 excellent articles from 1,376 authors for 20 different exciting categories.
If this article did not strike you, then you must visit one of his quality blogs and you will see that one of my favorite posts I submitted to him is right there.
However, if this article did strike you, please feel free to visit both of us again and again.
