Zemanta Live Writer plugin screencast from zemanta on Vimeo.
Basically, the video tells you more info than I could. I just couldn't show you how I use it, but you say the video so I guess that would be enough. It's really fun to use. It just gives you easier access to stuff you'd want to incorporate in your blog. You should try it.
One key thing to note is that this plugin is not browser exclusive. It allows integration to almost all browsers, Firefox, IE, even Chrome and Safari. So regardless of what platform you use, Zemanta can be installed.
This plugin also works for various e-mail clients, including Yahoo Mail and Google Mail.

BLOG UPDATE: GoogleFriendConnect and Dick's Song List Installed
I have been in contact with another blogger, DedeAndro, who was kind enough to help me with my updates. Today, I have finally installed Google Friend Connect's Comment Gadget. It's located below the Shoutout Chat Box I installed a few weeks ago. The Comment widget allows reply threading (what's up with me and threading anyway?). Hehe..
I also added another MixPod player that plays automatically upon loading of the whole site. This is purely experimental. I would be monitoring the bandwidth consumption with this widget being automatically played. I would have the results before the month's end. The MixPod Player widget is located below my Wishlist. This playlist contains all my songs, finished or unfinished. I will be updating it often.
Feel free to throw your comments and suggestions about these new widgets.
Future Update: I will be incorporating a page for you to be able to contact me. It will be ready very soon.
Enjoy my site!

J'Adore Tien Blog Award 2009 (August)
French for "I love your blog," the J'Adore Tien Blog Award has been given to me by DedeAndro (Thanks D!). This is my first award as a blogger and I hope I get more. :)
Here are the rules for this award.
- Copy the award image above.
- Pass it to the bloggers whom you think are deserving for this award.
- Leave a message to them.
- Pass as many as you want.
- Leave a comment to the person who give this award.
I'd really like to take this time to thank DedeAndro for this award. It is now my pleasure to pass this award on to the next deserving blogger.
Thanks for giving me a wonderful experience with your blog. You made me feel a lot smarter with your posts. And it's not because we had a past relationship *cough* i am not that much guilty anymore! *cough* that I give this award to you. I really wish you would continue to write. I enjoy your emo-ness, NOT bordering on suicidal. Just know that you will always be original and no one can take that away from you. Not even that Joy girl, whoever she is. I'll still be a fan.
Now, it's your turn to pass it on. That gives me an excuse to force you to continue to blog. Please, when you make a post about this, make it as interesting as the other posts you made! Cheers!
ENCORE: Open Up - First Draft
As promised, I have uploaded my song so that everyone can listen to it.

There is a part of the song (when I reach a high note) where the quality changes. I swear I had nothing to do with that.

ENCORE: Open Up
EDIT: Media already available. Click here to listen.
I have been listening to a lot songs lately and they've got me singing. My latest creation to date: Open Up.
Open Up
Open up the window, baby
Let the light come in
Every morn’ I come to meet you
Let the day begin
I am the sky that watches over you
Everyday your whole life through
I kiss your lips with golden rays of sun
All day until there is none
Hold your breath for it will still get better
Have faith in me and take my hand
Open up the window, baby
Let the light come in
Every morn’ I come to meet you
Let the day begin
Let me sweep you over, baby
Everywhere we go
Let me take you all around my world
I am the air that wraps around you baby
Every day in a sweet embrace
I hold you near and we shall stay this way
All day, I hope and I pray
Hold my hand and I will take you higher
I am here and I will be your man
Open up the window, baby
Let the light come in
Every morn’ I come to meet you
Let the day begin
I am the sky that watches over you
Everyday your whole life through
I kiss your lips with golden rays of sun
All day until there is none
Hold your breath for it will still get better
Have faith in me and take my hand
Open up the window, baby
Let the light come in
Every morn’ I come to meet you
Let the day begin
Let me sweep you over, baby
Everywhere we go
Let me take you all around my world
I am the air that wraps around you baby
Every day in a sweet embrace
I hold you near and we shall stay this way
All day, I hope and I pray
Hold my hand and I will take you higher
I am here and I will be your man
I have been so inspired that after writing this song today, I immediately recorded it. And for added bonus, I added an accompaniment; and with further extra, I attempted to add backup.
MIXPOD PLAYER SHOULD GO HERE!

FEATURING: C. Graham - Musical Scores
Back in college, I knew this guy named Christopher Francis Graham. He also went to college with me in the Ateneo de Manila University. Wait, he actually is STILL in college right now! Hailing from the Queen City of the South (from which I also come from), Chris has started to create his own music. Tonight, I'll be featuring some of his masterpieces.
I first heard his pieces from his Multiply site. So I immediately emailed him to allow me to publish his works on my Blogger.com. He gladly agreed and sent me his music files.
What I will be offering you tonight will be two musical scores he created for a play in school. Not much detail has been given to me about the nature of the play but in one of our correspondence he mentions:
" these songs are for a play.
ok first was for the creepy theme... then my friend, Kyle's group mates said that it was too scary... the play is of a love-story that has a ghost in there somewhere.. like the ghost was in love with the girl or something...
so i made the second file i sent u... i tried to make a median between love-story-ish and scary music..."
Play List:
1. Christopher Graham - Web Theme
2. Christopher Graham - Ghost Love
I hope you enjoy!

BLOG UPDATE: JS-Kit ECHO Commenting System Installed
JS-Kit ECHO is basically the latest commenting system launched (Public Beta) last August 6th, 2009. Adding rich, interactive features for any blogger's site, this has been their goal.
Echo is.. the way to share your content, and watch the live reaction. Embed it on your site – replacing your old commenting system – and you get:
- Real-time – Watch people react to your content live – without refreshing the page!
- Social Gestures – Echo captures the Social Gestures relating to your content including comments, likes, star ratings and more!
- Stream – Echo simplifies the presentation of conversation to just two levels. This simpler, cleaner style helps people keep track of contributions and engage in parallel conversations.
- Hyper-Distributed – Visitors share your content with their friends across all their favorite social networks at once – broadening the conversation and driving new traffic.
- Aggregated – Echo captures conversations related to your content from across the web and places them on your page.
- People – Echo allows people to connect to your site using their profile from the worlds most popular social networks. Users can even bind multiple social media accounts together.
- Multimedia – Echo items can include safe HTML, photos, and video for a richer conversation.
- Multiplied Engagement – Echo increases engagement by providing more ways for users to get involved and express their opinion.
Another thing you need to take heed, is the fact that every comment comes with an avatar, and unless you edit your profile, an ugly blank faceless image would be displayed. Anyhow, adding in a small photo isn't such a troubling chore. You can actually log in with any of the following IDs:
-- OpenID
-- Blogspot URL
-- Facebook Account
-- Yahoo Account
-- Google Friend Connect
-- Twitter Account
-- Blogspot URL
-- Facebook Account
-- Yahoo Account
-- Google Friend Connect
-- Twitter Account
Or you can also use, if you have any, JS-Kit Account or Haloscan Account. If you don't have any of the aforementioned ID's, which I highly doubt, you can create a New JS-Kit Account. Simply select this from the drop down list (it should on top of all the mentioned login IDs).
How to login? Oh, just click the Admin drop down menu and choose login and you're all set.
Well, I guess those would be the basics. I'll be monitoring how this system would turn out. Hah! I'm one to say, someone who gets a lot of hits and countless comments in a day. Yeah right! But in any case, just to prepare and pave my way to the future success of this blogger page, I'll keep it up.
If you happen to check this commenting system out, feel free to voice out your opinions. After all, this commenting system has been installed for that purpose.
