How to Make a Bibliography Easily!
I remember sitting next to my APA citation guide in college and struggling to find the right page... and it was a painful process. Then, I stumbled on this website and my life changed. This book turned bibliographies from a stressful thing that I needed to do (just when i thought i was finished) to a breeze.
What format do you use? APA? MLA? Chicago? Turabian? What do you need to cite? Books? Websites? Journals? Newspapers? Whatever it is... you can probably make a bibliography in 5 minutes... no joke.
For next weeks poll, Im going to add the option how to search on any blog, which is particularly helpful when a pin leaders you to a main blog page and not directly to the post you want!

How to Put a Watermark on Your Photo
Thank you everyone for voting on the technology poll! This week, the winner was How to Put a Watermark on a Photo!!!
Again, more than half of you voted for this in the poll!
I included two versions of this tutorial. In light blue, youll find directions on how to do everything right in GimpShop. Honestly, this is what I tend to do, as Im pretty comfortable using the program. For those of you who feel overwhelmed by the Gimp interface, I included alternate directions (in a medium blue) which include a brief portion in Gimp, and the remainder of the tutorial in Gimp. They both have the same effect, so its totally up to you!
Before I start the tutorial this focuses on how to use an image as a watermark. If you want to add text on your picture, click the picture below to check out my previous tutorial:
Now... onto the tutorial!
Now, for the tutorial that incorporates PowerPoint!
As far as next weeks poll is concerned, I just came across a MAJOR find in PowerPoint... Do you remember my previous post on giving a picture a transparent background? Well... I just stumbled across a way to do this right in PowerPoint!!! So obviously that will be on next weeks poll!

How to Get More Followers on Twitter
Being on social media is an important aspect for many businesses and individuals. For businesses, you are able to spread your message to many people quickly and get feedback from them. For individuals, you are able to get news quickly as they happen and interact with your friends on social media.
One of the fastest evolving social media platforms is Twitter. Twitter moves fast, and tweets get forgotten fast as they are replaced by tweets from other users. On twitter, one sees the tweets from people they follow. Your tweets are seen by those who follow you. An important aspect for any person on twitter is getting many followers to see your tweets. Getting retweets is crucial too, since it goes a long way to spread your tweets further, to the followers of your followers.
There are several ways of getting followers on twitter, both good and bad. There are methods that will get you inactive followers, others get you followers who do not care about your content, and others may cause you to have followers who are not even in your target segment. There are other focused methods of getting followers too that enable you to get followers who are useful to you and who can help in disseminating information that you post on twitter and on the internet at large.

Having many followers on twitter help you to establish some credibility too. People are likely to believe information from a twitter account with 10,000 followers than an account that has only 200 followers. Large corporations, celebrities and politicians have a large number of followers, while the average individuals have fewer numbers. If you are a celebrity, followers will come by themselves.
To begin with, the methods to avoid are those that lead you to buy followers. There are people on twitter who sell you followers. These are people with several thousand accounts and they can follow you for a certain fee. The problem with such followers is that they are inactive and only serve to inflate your statistics. They add no real value to your twitter account.
Another method to avoid is getting onto programs that promise to give you hundreds of followers in a short time. While they add followers to your account, you get followers from all over the world, and these followers are not necessarily interested in your content but in you following them back.
The proper and useful way to gain followers is that which allows you to target your followers and engage active followers. The first method would be to target people who are tweeting about a specific story or item. For example, if you are a business in the telecommunications industry, you can search for hashtags that are talking about telecommunications and follow those who are active on that specific hashtag. This will lead people to follow you back.
Look at events such as sports and breaking news in the localities you are targeting. Tweet on those hashtags and follow a few people to establish your presence on the hashtag. You are likely to get some retweets and followers.
Another way is to be at an event and tweet information about the event. People will follow you so that they get updates about the event, and they may not be willing to unfollow you fast. This also helps in establishing credibility about you and your account.

Gaining followers is not an overnight thing if you are a small company or an individual. You have to take time and work towards your twitter followers. Being ready to follow a few people first often helps. Be careful however, and only follow people or accounts that add value to your Twitter timeline.
The other method you can use to get more followers on twitter is carrying out promotions and campaigns on Twitter. You can offer rewards to followers and those who tweet or retweet certain messages informing people of your promotion and presence on twitter.
A combination of two or three of these methods should work for you even when you are a small company or an individual. Twitter users tend to want you to follow them first, be ready to do so if you are not a celebrity.
