Learning eZines
This one is short and sweet.I was challenged to write an eZine, a what? Not me, I can't write. Of course I didn't say that to the member who challenged me. And yet, I was excited.
So here I go, first I knew I needed an APSense passport. I had attempted to sign for one before and was not successful. So, I asked another member, not sure what I was doing wrong, but this time it worked. Then I start the info page, mmmmm. No matter what I do, it gives me an error page that my title is in the wrong format. Finally, it occurs to me that firefox has been sabotaging me, so I switch over to chrome.
Wahoo, success.
Now I can start content. I pondered what to put in the first article, I have one written but may change it. My publish suspense is next Wed (1/5/2011). Will I publish before then?
Maybe, I have a unique perspective. My writing is run through my ultimate guide, God. When He says OK, it will be published.
Although my experience had many trials, I slowed down and figured out how to resolve and move on.
What an awesome experience.
Should I taking time to write this article, my time should be focused on my traffic exchanges, however, this article bugged me, so ...

The one advantage I see of the APSense eZine from a blog is that it's easy to set up. However, with a blog, you don't have to pay every month for putting any ad you want.

A Blog is a series of single posts while each eZine is a collection of posts organized together.
I is literally like a magazine. Each Issue is it's own collection of posts bundled together in your eZine. With a blog you basically are dealing with one source, the author of the blog. With the eZine you can pull content from multiple sources into your issue. Also subscribers can submit content to your eZine unlike a blog where your followers can only comment. The major difference is that eZ

The major difference is that in a blog, we can see all the recent posts on the same page. With an ezine, each issue is a separate page.

I like the eZines because it is as I call 'an online magazine'. You can organize multiple postings in one place.
For example with the APSense eZine, I can take multiple postings for the month and organize them together in one main post with the links to the specific posts. People who are subscribes have all those postings together in one issue.
With a blog is more constant posting after posting. And with eZines you can gather posts from multiple varies sources if you wish by adding rele

Once you get the hang of it, it is so much fun to get it published. And then when someone tells you they enjoyed it you realize that It's a great way to pass on information and to build your presence.
