Kindling Creativity Online!

Nowadays creativity is required for both children and adults to help them out of routine sedentary work. It has to be now kindled. A blog does this job! It is The One-Minute Writer. It posts daily a 'writing prompt' (- asks to suggest ideas in a competition mode). The visitor has to enter his/her idea in 'Comments' section of the post within 60 seconds and publish. The winner is announced the next day with the appreciation under the heading, 'One minute writing of the day.' I tried myself in this blog on May 21st 2009 in the post with the prompt on 'Reuse.' Am I prompting you to visit this blog?!

VerveEarth locates Blogger easily!

VerveEarth locates its Blogger members in its world (Google) map at its home page, for the net surfers, to find out them easily. It has added a new feature to its home page: a List box on the right upper corner. In it you can see the list of Bloggers, with each member’s details such as icon, name, location and recent blog updating time. The box contains on the top of the list the details of a Blogger who has updated his/her blog with the latest post, at the time of your viewing. You can click on any one of the list file and visit the selected blog. The box has on its top bar in the right corner two icons, a small ball of Earth and an inverted triangle. By clicking on any of them you can view a list of texts – Log in, Topic and Location. These aid you to log in, and browse the blogs through the selected blog topics or the Bloggers’ locations in the world! After this, if you click on either the inverted triangle or the small ball, you can return back to the list of recently updated Blogger members again. In the lower bar of the box ‘Grab it!’ shows you the icons of Blogger and iGoogle to post to the blog quickly (if you are a Blogger) and to get VerveEarth widget code to be copied and pasted on to the blog.

This new feature does away with the time consuming job of finding out the (known) Bloggers’ location on the world map of VerveEarth. Find now your Blogger in VerveEarth and feel the new experience yourself!

To go to the web page, you shall have to click on the ‘Go to the page’ tab found at the bottom.
