In part 1, you should now already choose what you want your blog look like and how you work with. For my case, Blogger.com is not suitable becuase I am not SEO expertiest so I will often change layout for sure. Let me take you to next question.

The second question is how to organize posts in my new blog. What I mean is a kind of category. I don"t think that my blog will have only single topic for all posts. In fact, every posts are, in my mind, classified to a kind of hierarchical categories. By this way, posts in same topic are kept together and easier to be found by search engine.

According to my previous experience of W32:Trojan-gen, many people seem to encounter this problem so far. If you don"t want to switch antivirus software to NOD32 like I recommended and you really love Avast, a free antivirus software, you might want to remove it from the warning list. By the way, it is not as simple as you thought. Avast may not remove it (just warn) or removed it but actually didn"t. Don"t worry too much. It is actually just a false alarm. You cannot remove it permanently because most of this false alarm appear with System Restore"s files of Win XP. That is the problem. The Win XP will try to recover the files to last known state everytime you reboot. If you really want to remove this alarm, simply turn off System Restore in System Properties. After cleaned and rebooted the machine, you can turn it on again.

Once you are looking for a blog engine for your site, what is the criteria to choose the right one. I did so long research before made a decision. Let me start from the beginning.

The first question in my mind is what I want to do with new blog. It"s very interesting. What I want to do is not just blog engine. It would be able to let me management contents and change layout efficiently. Actually, I am still a big fan of Google"s product so I started my first blog at Blogger.com. If you are not familiar to blog engine, web-hosting, and any adminitrating related topic, you could use this free service. Anyway, the most disadvantage of Blogger.com is that all contents are generated and published to anywhere you please. It works just fine for blog with small posts or you will never change layout anymore. If you are examining layout and oftenly change it over time, don"t use Blogger.com. The right blog engine for you must on-line generate pages at runtime so you don"t need to regenerate all pages after changing a few bytes in layout template.

Google has just announced for Google Talk. So what the open federation is? Follow me for short. As you might notice, you can send e-mails from your account (university, company or gmail) to whoever you want in this world identified by an e-mail address. For IM, you don"t have this capability at all. If you are on MSN, you can"t chat with Yahoo IM. Open federation lets us talk to other parties across IM service provider. Oops! IM is going to be a general service like e-mail.

Don"t expect too much! Open federation might help anyone in this world to talk using their own IM address served a service provider near them but it is totally based on XMPP innovated by Jabber Community. If you are mainly on MSN, you might need to ask your IM provider to enable MSN service on Jabber service.

Anyway, someday IM service provider might come to this world. There will be no more MSN, Yahoo, AIM, or etc separately.. Hopefully, Google Talk supports sending file soon.

Microsoft has just officially jumped into Cluster Computing market using Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003. What is going to happer with Grid Computing market which is widely adopted by hardware major vendors, e.g., IBM, Sun, and EMC.

There have long since been many smaller players actively providing Grid and Grid-like products for Windows operating systems.
