The Bard’s Tale [Price: $1.99]
Like other games on this list, The
Bard’s Tale is a port of a much
older game. The original Bard’s
Tale was released in 1985 and was
considered a cult classic. The port
is an amazing reproduction that
includes updated graphics and
optimizations so it can be enjoyed
on Android. This witty RPG boasts
around 20-30 hours of game play
and for an Android game that’s
really good. It’s received honors
by a number of gaming blogs for
being good. There are also two
options, a standard definition and
high definition package (selectable
when you open the app) so if you
have the extra space, you can play
a better looking game.
Asphalt 8: Airborne [Price: Free]
Gameloft really hit a home run
with their Asphalt series. They
have increasingly good graphics,
fun game play, and each new
iteration adds more features. The
most current is Asphalt 8:
Airborne, which includes Google
Play Games achievements and a
live multiplayer mode. It used to
cost money but recently they
switched to a Freemium model
(Free to play with in-app
purchases). Some like it, some
don’t, but it’s still a fun game to
play.
Another World [Price:$1.99]
AnotherWorld was
once called Out Of This World and
was originally released in 1991.
The game was recreated and
ported to Android with better
graphics and full touch screen
support. It’s a fairly difficult 2D
shooter/puzzle game where you
play a scientist who gets warped
into, well, another world. It’s a
great game to have if you’re into
retro gaming and will remain a
gem on Android just like it was a
gem back in 1991.
Assassin’s Creed Pirates
[Price: Free]
Assassin’s Creed Pirates is a great
example of how much Android
games have progressed in terms
of graphics. This is a beautiful
naval adventure game where you
must be the captain of your own
pirate ship and search out buried
treasure. It features very good
graphics and a fun story line. In
battle, you shoot cannons at other
ships by doing that side-by-side
thing that gives the game a
glimmer of realism. It used to cost
money but now it’s free with in
app purchases.
Well, chances are we’ll see the Xperia Z4 a lot
sooner than you might think, because Sony has
kicked off a six monthly cycle for its top-of-the-
range smartphones. That means the Z4 could
be on sale as early as February 2015, and
rumours, speculation and leaks concerning the
phone are already beginning to circulate. We’ve
rounded them all up on this page, and will be
updating it as more emerge.
Screen:
Rumours are strongly tipping Sony to go all out
with the Xperia Z4’s screen: according to
PhoneArena, it will come sporting a 5.4in (or
possibly 5.5in ) display with a QHD 2560 x 1440
resolution and the same Triluminos wide colour
gamut technology as previous Xperia Z phones.
There are already several phones with a QHD
screen (in the UK, there’s the Samsung Galaxy
Note 4, LG G3 and Google Nexus 6), so this
doesn’t seem far-fetched at all.
Power And Battery:
Initial rumours suggested the Z4 might be
getting the long-awaited Qualcomm Snapdragon
810 processor, but now it appears the slighty-
less-powerful-but-still-pretty-beefy Snapdragon
805 is getting the nod. The 805 is used in the
likes of the Google Nexus 6 and Samsung
Galaxy Note 4, so we’d expect the Sony Z4’s
performance to be in the same ballpark as
these two (very powerful) handsets.
It’s also tipped for 4GB of RAM, which some
might think a tad unnecessary for a current
smartphone (mainly because of the increase to
cost it could entail). The phone will run
Android 5.0 Lollipop, which has a 64-bit kernel
supporting 4GB, so it does make some sense. As
for storage, one report suggests 32GB will be
the standard capacity.
Reportedly, the battery will have a 3420mAh
capacity. If that’s true, you can expect the Z4
to offer similar endurance to the impressively
long-lasting Z3. We’ll take that.
Design And Build
Sony’s Xperia range has always offered a
strong, unified design language and leaked
shots of the Z4 suggest it won’t be rocking the
boat – this is a phone that looks a lot like the
Xperia handsets already out there. That means
we can expect superb build quality, plenty of
metal and glass, and high levels of protection
against dust and water.
Small changes are expected, however: rounder
corners, and thinner bezels at the top and
bottom of the screen.
Camera
The word on the street (i.e. the internet) is
that the Sony Xperia Z4 will come with a
20.7MP camera. And while that’s the same
number of megapixels as the current Z3’s
(excellent) camera, it seems that Sony isn’t
resting on its photographic laurels. The Z4 may
sport the company’s newly announced IMX230
Exmor RS sensor , which offers speedy 192-point
autofocus and real-time HDR, as well as two
extra lens elements for sucking in more light,
which would be a worthy upgrade.
The front camera is tipped for improvement
too: it may be a 4.8MP snapper with a wide-
angle lens (and therefore better for selfies).
It Is Expected To Arrive Markets on March 2015

A leading computer and laptop manufacturing
company Asus is not much behind in
smartphone market. This android phone from
the Zenfone series is surely a bang for buck as
it has got amazing specs which are merely
impossible at price of 15000 Rs. It has 5-inch
capacitive touch screen with HD resolution of
1280×720 pixels. Its IPS display with corning
gorilla glass makes it more trendy and
comfortable to use at outdoors. Asus Zenfone 5
comes with shiny metal finished body which
looks awesome when you hold it. Like Moto G
Asus is also offering stylish colorful back panels
with this phone. You can change and modify
your phone as per your moods. Talking about
its hardware specifications than it gets power
from 1.6 GHz Intel Atom Z2560 Dual Core
Processor with Intel Hyper Threading
Technology. For smoother experience with our
daily works it has 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of
internal memory to store all your apps and
files. Well if we look at its camera than it is of
8 MP which is set to auto focus and front
camera is of 2 MP, nothing new in camera same
as all other phones but it does capture good
quality images and can record full HD videos.
Other great features includes Dual SIM with
Dual Standby, 5 GB Free Lifetime Asus Cloud
Storage and 1 year of warranty if you buy this
phone from flipkart. You can never get any
smartphone with these specifications at this
price range and that’s why I have listed it here
in list of best android phones under 15000 rs. I
would recommend this if you are a hardcore
gamer or multi-tasker as this phone stands best
in all sorts of works.
Price:12,999
After a successful launch of Moto G, Motorola is
still not behing in bang for bucks android
phones. Few days back Motorola launched Moto
G 2nd Generation, which of-course has high
specifications than its prior version Moto G.
This phone also runs latest Android v4.4.4
Kitkat OS which looks very beautiful on its 5-
inch HD screen. Looking at its performance
than it has 1.2 GHz Quad Core chip with 1 GB
RAM which makes Moto G 2nd Gen more faster
to work with. Motorola has also done few
improvements in Camera of 2nd Generation
Moto G and one of the major upgrade is it’s 8
MP rear camera which is capable to take Full
HD videos. It has got almost same
specifications as Moto X which is price at 25000
Rs by Motorola. Well If you are willing to buy
something great and very new than Moto G
2nd Generation is the one to go with.
Price:12,999(16Gb)
It’s being a month this phone is launched
and Flipkart – the biggest online electronics
website of India has sold more than 100,000
Moto G till date. Moto G can be considered
as best android phone under 15000 Rs. why?
Let us have a look to it. Beginning with style
than it has got tough body which is also light in
weight. You get colorful back panels in Moto G
box which you can change as per your moods.
It comes with latest Android Kitkat OS which
is most beautiful and most appreciated android
version yet. It gets power from 1.2 GHz
Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 Quad Core
Processor which is capable to handle your daily
multitasking needs. To have more smoother
experience with your android phone it has 1 GB
of RAM, which I think is enough to handle
every types of work. If we look at its display
than it has 4.5-inch HD display with 329 ppi
pixel density which lets you see everything in
detail. It also has 305 Adreno Graphics so you
can play high graphics games too with your
Moto G. It has got 5 MP primary camera with
LED flash and 1.3 MP secondary camera. You
can also take slow motion videos with primary
camera on this phone. To store all your useful
stuffs it comes with 16 GB of internal memory
which cannot be further expanded. I think this
is the only thing where this phone lags but if
you are happy with 16 GB internal memory
than this one is the best buy at price range of
15000 rs.
Price:12,499(8Gb)
Price:13,999(16Gb)
This android phone from Huawei is worth
calling a beast at this price range. With its
great looks it has also got tremendous power
inside. Its slim look and glossy 5 Inch Full HD

to use phone in high light conditions. It is
powered by Android v4.2 Jelly Bean which you
can update to latest Android 4.4 Kitkat. It has
got 8 MP rear camera and 5 MP front camera,
well I think it is more than enough for selfie
lovers. Its 2 GB RAM and extra 8 GB ROM
ensures smooth multitasking like never
before. All this power is controlled by 1.3 GHz
Quad Core chip which gives life to smooth
interface of phone. If you are a pro gamer than
you can enjoy all your favorite games on this
phone. This is surely bang for bucks android
phone but Huawei doesn’t have much service
centers in India. Although review of this phone
is good by the people who already bought it
from flipkart. My final verdict on this
smartphone is If you want something big at
low price than this android phone is made for
you.
Price:14,999
When it comes to Samsung, you never need to
worry about quality. All Samsung phones are
made of finest plastic and they are almost same
in looks and this one is also of same breed. I
also had a look to Samsung Galaxy Grand
Quottro but the reason why I didn’t put it here
is its design. Grand Neo is more bigger and
light in weight than Grand Quottro. Well Let us
first of all have a look to design of Grand NEO,
It has got 5-inch TFT display which makes
using phone easier even in sunlight. Its slim-
sleek design and light weight promises best
grip every time you use it. This all outfit is
powered by inner 1.2 GHz Quad Core processor
and 1 GB of RAM which makes phone more
smoother and allows you to multitask in Multi-
Window mode. It comes with 8GB internal
memory which you can further expand up to 64
GB. This all power is handled by Android v4.2
Jelly Bean which you can update it to v4.4
Kitkat. Now if we talk about camera than it
has got 5 MP primary auto focus camera with
LED flash and front 0.3 MP VGA camera. Along
with this it is also dual sim and it has got
accelerometer, proximity and eCompass sensors
which ensures good gaming experience too. I
think this is the best mid-range android phone
from Samsung with 2100 mAh battery which
gives battery backup of 11 hours in 3G.
According to me it is the best buy at price
range of 15000 Rs.
PRICE – 14,010 RS
Unless you’re prepared to jump in the deep end
and spend hundreds of pounds on SEO analysis
tools from big companies like Moz and Majestic,
when you start out you’re going to have to rely
on some cheaper (though not always less
thorough) tools.
1. SEMRush
Your first stop for a clear and concise graphical
representation of your site’s SEO campaign
should be the free report generator over at
SEMRush . The tool delivers an insightful
overview into how your site is performing
through both organic and PPC traffic in location-
based data.
With extra insights such as a keyword phrase
report, Ad overview and backlink overview,
SEMRush is an excellent free tool if you want to
see how you compare against competition.
These tools are available for free but lack the
detail offered in the paid-for plans which start at
about £55.
2. MajesticSEO
With Majestic you’ll find that many of the
standard features are off limits to you as a non-
paying user. But there are still plenty of handy
tools available to you that will give you a good
insight to your site’s progress.
Majestic allows you to keep an eye on your
backlinks and keywords, giving you a little
insight into how your site is performing.
Majestic isn’t quite as user friendly as SEMRush-
and without paying, you are unable to directly
compare your website to others.
3. SEOBook
A free account with SEOBook gives you
access to (and they’ll tell you this a lot) over
£300 worth of software. In reality, this is
probably a good choice for those of you that are
working your SEO campaign with the Firefox
browser, as three of the tools that come with the
free account are Firefox extensions.
The rest of the tools at your disposal are useful
and laid out cleanly and are easy to use. From a
Spider Test tool to a handy “Typo Generator”,
there are a few handy web-based tools for you to
use.
4. Copyscape
Some people don’t realise that duplicate content
can hurt your site. And if someone steals your
content to use on your site, Google’s spiders will
flag this up.
Copyscape is the web-based tool that can help
you avoid, locate and identify anyone that is
copying your content. This can be fairly useful –
and serve as a reminder to regularly update your
web-content, but its practicality is limited.
5. Google Keyword Planner
This is the big daddy of free SEO analytics tools.
Google’s keyword planner is the go-to tool for
those seeking to progress their rankings in the
search engines. After all, who knows their
keyword algorithms better than Google
themselves?
Of course, Google are famously interested in
improving their algorithms to provide the
searcher with well-written content , so we
advise that you use the Google Keyword Planner
with care.
Summary
These are just a handful of the numerous free
tools out there available to the new SEOer, but
they represent some of the most in depth (and
user friendly) options available.
Starting out in SEO can be pretty tough to begin
with, and the right tools will help you along
the right path . But what is most crucial is a
keen understanding of the statistics that the
tools deliver and an intuition on how to use
those stats to your advantage.
Developing an SEO brain doesn’t happen
overnight. And if you need things to happen in
your favour quickly, it is sometimes best to ask
the experts for help. But don’t let that deter you
from learning more about SEO in the long term –
you never know, you could be the expert in the
future.
Your blog is up, the content is flowing, you are
getting traffic and all is well in the world.
Having dreamed of having your own little slice of
cyber space, you are now able to live that
fantasy.
But overhead costs still exist, and you would like
to start maybe making a bit of cheddar from all
your efforts. Now is the time to learn how to
make money from blogging .
Unlike many other careers, blogging does not
have an “average” salary. Some sites make cents,
some make millions, and some make absolutely
nothing.
But all blogs with a profit margin have the same
thing in common: they have monetized and
grown their sites, and have come up with unique
ways to begin earning that green.
Here are some ways you can start earning money
from your blog:
1. Run Ads
This is the most basic step you can take. Joining
services like Google AdSense (though there are
many programs out there), or an actual ad
network, for those who don’t understand how
advertising on websites works, is a quick way to
start earning regular cash.
The higher your traffic, the higher the click
probability and the more you will earn back.
Google AdSense isn’t the only way to go here.
Read this article for five alternatives to Google
AdSense .
2. Sell Ad Space
If you have an especially popular blog you can
start selling ad space to other people to run
their campaigns. This gives you total control
over what is being advertised on your site, and
can earn you more than a pay per click program
like those listed above.
But what’s the best way to go about this? You
can get seven tips on selling advertising space
here .
3. Open a Shop
Have something you think you can sell? One of
the most profitable means of gaining site income
is by opening a little shop through your blog
and offering a related item you have created.
A good example of this is Flylady, which opened
a store with their own brand of cleaning and
organization supplies.
4. Write Company Reviews
Like selling ad space, it is important to see what
your site is worth the higher your traffic gets.
5. Join Affiliate Networks
Finding a good affiliate program can be like
hitting the jackpot. You want to make sure who
you go through is a company you believe in, and
a service you use and so don’t mind promoting.
Make sure you also read the fine print before
you sign up for anything, and know exactly what
you are getting out of it.
Two of the best affiliate networks out there are
CJ Affiliate by Conversant -formerly known as
Commission Junction, and Clickbank -who offer
an extensive range of digital products for you to
promote.
You will find some of the best affiliate programs
available by signing up with these two
companies to start with.
6. Write a Book or EBook
If your blog is popular, you will have gone a
long way toward proving yourself an expert in
your field-which means people are going to want
your guidance, and a book is a great way of
offering it.
7. Begin Speaking At Events
Keep your eye out for events whenever you can.
Conferences and expos, university talks, things
like that…they can pay very well, plus give you a
chance to travel and meet new people.
Connections are important in this business, and
it is also just pleasant sometimes to meet others
with the same interests as you.
1 . Vertical Alignment. When something sticks
out, you notice it. And when a picture or text
sticks out from the rest of the column, it looks
like a mistake and it becomes a distraction.
Things look right when paragraphs and images
all fit into their columns precisely. Images and
paragraphs should be the same width and this
applies to sidebar elements, too. There are times
when a design may intentionally call for doing
otherwise, but in general, it's good practice to
keep things lined up.
Quick Tip: For the content area of your blog (this
is where your blog posts reside), choose a
common width for all the images and make sure
that your paragraph widths are the same. Left-
justified paragraphs are recommended for
readability. Although the text may look ragged
on the right side, that's okay.
If you have sidebars, the same tip applies ---
choose a consistent size for your images and
make sure they line up vertically. Images that
stick out make the the page look cluttered.
2. White Space. A crowded page can feel
claustrophobic and overwhelming, even when it's
well-organized. Having white space --- or well-
spaced page elements --- makes those sections
easily identifiable and easier to read.
Quick Tip: You can control the space between
the elements or sections of your blog by adding
some margins and/or padding. If you're
comfortable with adding code to your blog, you
can control the space between elements with
the margin and padding CSS attributes.
3. Uncluttered Sidebars. Navigation usually
refers to the links we include in our horizontal
navbars and sidebars. Navigation's purpose is to
make it easy for readers to browse and
"navigate" through your blog. Since the navbars
and/or sidebars are visible on every page, the
information we choose to include in these areas
has to be meaningful and useful. It's easy to fill
up these areas with every conceivable link to all
our static pages and favorite blogs and websites.
However, since these areas have a finite amount
of space, we have to be mindful of what we put
there. If fill up these areas with a lot of
information, it tends to confuse. So, we have to
curate these areas with good links and keep
them neat and tidy and easy to read. Keep your
sidebars uncluttered!
Quick Tip: If you have a blogroll on your
sidebar, consider moving it to its own page and
then add a link to it from the sidebar.
4. Accessible Info. Sometimes you need to ask a
blogger a question and you want their contact
info ASAP. I've come across many blogs that
don't provide any way to contact the blogger,
and if it was there, I couldn't find it. Make it
easy for your readers to find the information they
need by providing visible and easy-to-find links
to your about page, contact info, and RSS feed.
Quick Tip: Keep important links in plain view ---
categories, featured posts, search box, links to
archives, and other links to resource/static
pages.
5. Short Description. Your blog banner is the
first thing visitors see when they arrive at your
website. It's nice when a blog has a short
description on the banner that tells what their
blog is about. For example, Nubby Twiglet ,
Shutterbean , SFGirlbyBay, and Creature Comforts
have short descriptions in their banners. These
well-chosen words remove all ambiguity and give
the reader a clear idea of what to expect.
Quick Tip: If you don't already have a short
description for your blog, browse through your
old posts and observe the topics you've written
about the most. The theme of these posts
constitute the primary subject of your blog and
is a good place to start when drafting a short
blog description. This short description can be a
comma separated list or a phrase.
6. Typography. It's good to limit the number of
fonts to no more than three --- one for post
titles, one for the sidebar titles, and another for
the post body. Too many fonts tend to make a
page look really busy. Additionally, when
choosing fonts for your text, aim for legible fonts
in a readable size. Now that web fonts are
popular, I've seen some sites that use script
fonts that are really hard to read. Whatever font
you choose, keep legibility in mind.
Quick Tip: The most readable font under 14px is
Verdana and larger than that, Arial is the most
readable.
7. Colors. Colors are great. They're magnetic and
draw attention. For our blogs, it's best to choose
colors that direct attention to the areas where
we want the eye to go. A splash of color in the
banner and little dabs of color here and there
place visual markers of importance for our
readers. However, using too many colors can
become a distraction --- there will be too many
places for the eye to go and it can cause
attention paralysis.
Quick Tip: I personally like to keep my blog
layout neutral so that I can go color wild in my
blog posts. I LOVE color, but I minimize it in my
blog layout and the reason is this: If both my
layout and blog posts are colorful, it becomes
confusing because there isn't a focal point the
eye can rest on. So, use colors wisely and place
them carefully in areas you don't want your
users to miss --- like your content (your blog
posts).
8. Profile Photo. I used to think profile photos
were unnecessary until I read an article about
how the Wikipedia decided to use contributors'
profile photos to show that real people were
working behind the scenes to create all the free
content we enjoy. I realized then that using a
profile photo adds a lot of humanity to our
online life and this especially applies to our
blogs. Profile photos can be on the sidebar or on
your about page. When I say photo, I mean a
real photo, not one of those cartoon avatars that
were so popular a few years back. :)
Quick Tip: I get really self-conscious when other
people take my picture, so I usually take my
own! :D Elsie has awesome tips on how to
take better self portraits .
9. Fast loading pages. It's really frustrating to
visit a site with a lot of great content, then find
it painfully slow to load and navigate through.
There are many factors than can make a blog
slow, but this problem is especially common with
image-rich sites.
Quick Tip: One way to help pages load faster is
to use images that are optimized for your blog.
Some blogs I encounter load images that are far
too large for viewing. For example, the image
width may be set to 600px, yet the image that
loads is actually 1200px! To make it worse, there
may be 5 images per post and 12 posts per
page, which turns out to be quite an extra load!
So, we help our pages load faster by uploading
images with dimensions that fit our posts
perfectly. Another way to help your page load
faster is to limit the number of posts per page.
And one more thing, you can add a "Read More"
link after the first couple of images and an
excerpt.
10. Backgrounds. Background Patterns are great
and they can add a whole lot of fun and
personality to a blog. However, background
patterns that don't tile look like mistakes. I
mention this because I once designed a site on
a laptop with a small screen. Some time later, I
saw the site on a pal's large monitor and I
realized that the background covered only half of
the screen real estate! It wasn't the end of the
world, but it looked amateurish.
Quick Tip: If you're going to have a background
pattern, make sure it tiles. What I mean is, make
sure that no matter how large the monitor, that
your background will tile from top to bottom
and/or left to right. Take a look at your site from
monitors of varying sizes. If your monitors are
pretty much the same size, take a look at your
blog the next time you visit a computer store
and view your blog with the largest monitor you
can find.
Research Your Blog Post
Before you write a single word you
should spend time properly
researching the topic or subject that
you want to cover. Now a lot
depends on what your post may be
about, but even if you were writing
about yourself or your own personal
experiences, research can be done.
The first thing you should look
closely at is what keywords or
keyphrases you want to aim for .
This is something that many
bloggers seem to forget about, yet I
can’t stress enough how important
this is.
In order for people to find your
posts online you need to understand
what people are typing in to the
search engines to find what they are
looking for.
The best place to start is the Google
Keyword Planner tool that lets you
research keywords and keyphrases
that you can use for your articles.
Spend some time looking through
existing posts on the subject that
you want to cover yourself. The
point of this isn’t to just copy what
other people have written (you don’t
want to do that!), instead you are
looking to find what all these posts
aren’t saying.
There may be a million posts
already online that cover the same
subject that you want to write
about, but if you can do something
different or approach it from a
different angle, then you can help
yourself to stand out from the
crowd.
Plan Out The Structure Of Your
Blog Post
Once you have finished researching
your article it is time to plan out
the structure of your post. Just as
you would plan out a beginning,
middle and end when writing a
story, you need to plan out the way
you want your article to flow.
Everyone does this differently but I
always try to come up with my
subheadings first. That way I can
structure out my post into easy to
follow sections without repeating
myself.
I find that it also helps when
writing to have split up my post like
this into sections instead of trying to
write about everything in one go.
Get Writing
This should be the easy bit, so I
don’t really need to say much about
this here. If you have done your
research and planned out the
structure of your post previously,
then this should make the whole
writing process even easier.
Add A Title, Introduction & Call
To Action
Arguably THE most important step
is next as you need to come up with
a decent title, introduction and call
to action. Many of you may do this
during the writing or planning stage
of your article, but I find leaving it
until now helps.
This stage is so important as the
vast majority of people will see
these first and make a judgement
about the rest of your article based
on them.
In order for people to find and even
think about clicking on your post
you will need a good title. It needs
to be interesting, enticing, include
keywords/keyphrases that you are
aiming for and instantly convey
what your post is about.
Coming up with a good title is by no
means easy, but always remember
this: a bad post with a good title
will always get more clicks than a
good post with a bad title.
Your introduction needs to do the
same as your title, only you have
more words to play with. You have
a couple of paragraphs (at the most)
to sum up what your post is about
without giving the whole game away
and encourage them to continue
reading.
If your introduction isn’t up to
scratch then people will simply click
back and navigate somewhere else.
Think of your introduction as a
synopsis on the back of a book that
you read before you buy it.
Your call to action is to be added at
the end of your post. The aim of
this is to encourage viewers who
have read that far to stay on your
site and/or promote it. You can do
this in a number of ways;
1. Encourage them to leave a
comment,
2. Point them in the direction to
other relevant posts on your site,
3. Tell them about an offer/
competition/service/product on
your site,
4. Ask them to subscribe to your
email newsletter.
5. Get them to share your post via
social media with their friends.
Your call to action doesn’t need to
do all of the above, it is simply an
encouragement for them to take
further action after your post. The
last thing you want is someone that
has read through an entire post to
navigate away and forget about your
site never to return.
Add Images/Video
I always like to view this next step
as adding window dressing to your
article. No matter how good your
overall post is, you need something
visually appealing adding to it to
attract viewer attention.
Adding images is the simplest way
of doing this. This helps to break
up your post and make it look more
interesting rather than just a big
mass of text.
Videos are equally as good at doing
this especially when they are
informative and relevant to what
you are writing about.
Edit, Edit, Edit!
When you think you have finished
your post remember to spend time
editing and going over what you
have written. This is a great time
to add things like inbound and
outbound links, or even affiliate
links where appropriate.
Publish
Only when you are 100% happy and
have thoroughly read and re-read
your post to check for any errors or
mistakes can you hit the publish
button.
Always be aware of the fact that
your blog posts are a reflection of
you and your website, you need to
make sure that they are up to your
high standards before you upload it.
Microsoft Corp said it would roll out its Lumia
535 smartphone this month with an
affordable price tag in its key markets, dropping the Nokia name just months after buying the Finnish company's handset business.
Loaded with its latest Windows Phone 8.1
operating system, the Lumia 535 and Lumia 535 dual SIM will be priced at around 110 euros (about $137) before taxes and subsidies,
Microsoft said in a statement. The phone will feature a wide-angle 5 megapixel front-facing camera and a 5-inch qHD display screen, the company said.
Smartphones run on Microsofts' Windows
software, mostly Lumias, captured only 2.7% of the global smartphone market in the second
quarter, down from 3.8 percent the year before, according to research firm Strategy Analytics.
Microsoft completed its $7.2 billion deal to buy
Nokia's handset business in April. Nokia
continues as a networks, mapping and
technology licensing company. It owns
and manages the Nokia brand and only licenses
it to Microsoft.
Microsoft had said in the past it planned to
license the Nokia brand for its lower-end mobilephones for 10 years and to use the name on itssmartphones only for a "limited" time, withoutsaying how long that might be.
