(so, i guess you already have.) if you don't have one, then sign up, it's free anyway. now you're ready to authenticate your site. just follow the steps below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. go to &lt;a href="https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit"&gt;yahoo! site explorer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. submit your website/webpage. just copy your url on the designated box then hit the &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;submit url &lt;/span&gt;button. once you click the submit url button you will be redirected to sign in to your yahoo! account, so just type your username and password and press sign in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. once you login, you'll see this image below&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s443.photobucket.com/albums/qq153/dvirtualist/?action=view&amp;amp;current=yahooauthent2.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i443.photobucket.com/albums/qq153/dvirtualist/th_yahooauthent2.jpg" alt="y1" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;click on the "my site" as highlighted in the image&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. add your site again, just put your site url on the designated box then hit add my site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s443.photobucket.com/albums/qq153/dvirtualist/?action=view&amp;amp;current=addsite.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i443.photobucket.com/albums/qq153/dvirtualist/th_addsite.jpg" alt="addsite" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. you have now added your blog site on the site explorer. next thing to do is add your url feed. the default url feed for blogger/blogspot site is &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Atom.xml&lt;/span&gt; . simply type this on the box provided. check the following images so you can easily follow:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s443.photobucket.com/albums/qq153/dvirtualist/?action=view&amp;amp;current=afteraddsite.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i443.photobucket.com/albums/qq153/dvirtualist/th_afteraddsite.jpg" alt="afteraddsite" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://s443.photobucket.com/albums/qq153/dvirtualist/?action=view&amp;amp;current=addfeed.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i443.photobucket.com/albums/qq153/dvirtualist/th_addfeed.jpg" alt="add feed" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Once you hit the "authentication", you will be ask on how would you like to authenticate your website, choose "by adding meta tag..." and just follow the instruction as shown on the image below&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s443.photobucket.com/albums/qq153/dvirtualist/?action=view&amp;amp;current=yahooauthent1.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i443.photobucket.com/albums/qq153/dvirtualist/th_yahooauthent1.jpg" alt="authenticate" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;do not hit yet the "authenticate" button. leave your yahoo! site explorer open, go back to your blogger/blogspot site.  then go to your layout page, click the "Edit Html" link. Edit template page which contains your blog site xml's coding, find the first &lt;  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;head&lt;/span&gt;  &gt; tag and insert the meta tag provided by yahoo! site explorer (look like this - &lt;strong style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt; name="y_key" content="ca629cc86efe3647"&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-weight: normal;"&gt;close your meta tag with a slash [&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;], to avoid from getting the parsing &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal;"&gt;(whatever) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;problem&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;check the image below&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);" href="http://s443.photobucket.com/albums/qq153/dvirtualist/?action=view&amp;amp;current=yahooauthent.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i443.photobucket.com/albums/qq153/dvirtualist/th_yahooauthent.jpg" alt="blogtemplate" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;don't forget to save your template.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;after saving your template, go back to your yahoo! site explorer tab and hit "authenticate"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);" href="http://s443.photobucket.com/albums/qq153/dvirtualist/?action=view&amp;amp;current=yahooauthent1.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i443.photobucket.com/albums/qq153/dvirtualist/th_yahooauthent1.jpg" alt="authenticate" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;your site now is pending for authentication.

Three of the last batch was chosen to fill the 3 spots available for tonight. And guess what, my fave contestant, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;lil rounds&lt;/span&gt; got through the top 12 so am happy!. and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;scott mcintyre&lt;/span&gt; is also one of my favorite, of course! blind singer, great voice, the most passionate contestant i have ever seen, since i started watching american idol, you can feel each words deep within your heart when he sings, i can almost cry, how can you not root for him? &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;jorge nunez&lt;/span&gt; was also voted to join the top 12, welll jorge has a good voice despite her accent and diction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and now comes the wild card. eight contestant was chosen from those who didn't make it through from the three batches to compete for the wild card spot tomorrow to complete the top 12.  They bring back the whining queen &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;tatiana&lt;/span&gt; to compete for the wild card, well... there is no denying that she could actually sing, she has good voice, i agree to that. but she's annoying, with all her drama and crying....blah blah! if she could only stop from doing those crazy things! anoop desai went through the wild card seat, as he was the last person being called by simon cowell to join the wild card contestants for tomorrow's show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway here are the contestants who will be competing for wild card.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="contestant"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Anoop  Desai&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="age"&gt;21 years old&lt;/span&gt;

I am planning to continue posting there, about my beloved hometown and promote the site with my ka-brgys. I still like using wordpress.com despite the many restrictions because the templating system of wordpress.com is more innovative than blogspot (sorry, but this is true!). But blogspot is a real dear, super blogger friendly. Blogspot gives me the door to venture into many different money making online. Which is the main reason why I'm crunching my head for words to post.

It's been eight days since I started using it, I've already posted 9 entries (ugh!). The first two days was really a struggle, since I'm a new user I have had a hard time trying to figure out how to use the dashboard, how to verify my blog to google, how to create a sitemap and everything. I have spent hours on my laptop, crawling the whole internet planet to find an answer to all my questions regarding wordpress.com.  After finding out how to verify my wordpress.com  blog to google and everything, I have found out that wordpress.com is no better unless you &lt;a href="http://support.wordpress.com/upgrades/"&gt;upgrade&lt;/a&gt; your account, which will cost you $30.00 or so, depending on the feature that you want to purchase from their &lt;a href="http://support.wordpress.com/upgrades/"&gt;current offerings.&lt;/a&gt;  But wordpress.com templating system functionality is impressive,  you can rearranged widget without editing  PHP,CSS or HTML code. If you just want to write and tell people whatever comes into your mind, you can use wordpress.com. Adsense, Yahoo, Chitika, TextLinkAds and other ads, these are not permitted to wordpress.com. Submitting your wordpress hosted blog to any paid blogging system like payperpost, smorty, reviewme or any similar site, is also prohibited. You can only enjoy and use these features once you upgrade your account. Here is what they say about advertising - &lt;a href="http://support.wordpress.com/advertising/"&gt;http://support.wordpress.com/advertising/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, &lt;a href="http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/please-read-me-first-before-posting?replies=1"&gt;wordpress.org is totally different from wordpress.com&lt;/a&gt;, so don't be confused about the two.
