Well finally I have found time to write about what I have been doing the past couple days. Well my roommate is into Break Dancing battle (Soul Cypher 7). They were having a huge battle with all the crews from different places. I decided to sponsor it with Balkhis because they were looking for some promotion. I also realize there is not a quality resource for these guys online therefore I have decided to start on a project that deals with Hip – Hop Culture specially Break Dancing.

I dont know how many of you watch MTV, but there was a show called America’s Dance Show. It was on yahoo TV as well. One of the crews from there (Enigma) was at the battle. #1 Bboy in Florida was at the battle with his crew. I get to talk to all of these cool people and I also got a chance to take pictures with them. Lucky me got to sit with the judges when the battle was going on. I was also invited to a bigger battle by one of the judges who is the CEO of Funk Revival Entertainment. He invited me to attend a battle in Hollywood Florida. I might go there because it is just crazy to see all these moves.

Along with the Break Dancing Battle, there was a popping battle as well. This 9 year old ended up winning the battle. He whopped everyone’s ass. This kid can be the next Micheal Jackson! I am posting the videos on my youtube channel. They are a bit dark because of the fact that it was dark except for one spot light. Feel free to watch and enjoy it.

Below are some of the pictures with me and the BBoy world’s superstars:

This crew was featured on America’s Dance Show “Enigma”

This is the #1 bboy in florida.

That is some crazy move there.

Alright everyone, as you all know last night this blog was reverted back to april 1st in the process of a server transfer. We moved to a more powerful server, but it caused me loosing about 30 subscribers in one night just because the blog was reverted. I think I will get my readers to subscribe again hopefully. I just wanted to apologize for all the inconvenience.

I caught it this morning because I was extremely busy for the past two days hence the low activity on the blog from my end. I sponsored a Break Dancing Battle on Behalf of Balkhis and my new project that is going to be done hopefully by late June. I have some exciting pictures and videos for you guys which I will update later on the days as well as a Tip Sunday post coming after this one.

I am hoping that you guys stay with me on this one. Once again sorry for the all the trouble.

Blogging is a job, a career, hobby, and many other things. Everyone classifies it in a different category. Darren Rowse of ProBlogger.net asked this question to all bloggers, Why Do You Blog?. He is making a Group Video Project where he is going to collect all the blogger’s answer through each individual video and post it all in one collection. Well Darren, here is the answer to your question.

Blogging is my hobby.
I am a big time computer geek because I love computer and the internet. I have been using it for quiet some time, and have been in the webmaster industry for about 5 years now. In the 5 years, I tried alot of different niches and ended up with only two becoming my favorite. Those are Designing and Blogging.

Sparks new Ideas
While I blog, I research all my topics and visit other blogs and websites. By doing this non-stop research, often it sparks new ideas in my mind. The future projects that I can take on and develop. I already have one that is underconstruction which I was inspired to do so while I was researching and visiting other blogs.

Make a quality webmaster resource
I share alot of my experience on my blog. Along with my experience, I share alot of other stuff such as tutorials, other webmaster resources, freebies etc. While I am trying to help others out by sharing my knowledge, I am making it a bigger resource every day. This resource is not only for my users, but it is for myself. I collect my tutorials from other websites, or from my own development, and my blog helps me keep track of all of those in one place, so I don’t have to go to different places to get things done.

Name and Fame
I like others to know about me. I am blogging for my name. I want the webmaster world to know about Syed Balkhi, like they know about other big bloggers. I am still an underdog in the industry, but this fame will be priceless because for every future project I take on my name will be associated to it, and people would not say Who is Syed Balkhi.

Getting Better every day
I have my blog so I can get critiques and comments by my users. I like it when someone comment on my post. Whether they like my strategy, or if there is a way I can improve. I love those critiques and comment because they help me fix some of the issues with my products or strategies, and the appreciation from the users of my work just motivates me to get better and better every day.

Making new friends
My blog has helped me know alot of different type of people in the web world. I have made some very nice friends through blogging. Getting to learn from the experiences of these friends is just another cool thing about blogging.

My vision is for success, and I don’t want others to make the same mistakes that I have made therefore I show them all the tricks I learned in the past through trial and error.

Pimp my Blog is a never ending contest that is starting now on March 28th, 2008. I dont know how many of you are familiar with the MTV Show Pimp My Ride. Well, In this program I will randomly pick one of my email subscriber’s blog once a month and will offer them to redesign for free !

Yes, entirely free. It will be customized for the subscriber’s needs. This will be somewhere around $350 – $800 value product. Now when I say, I will redesign blogs. I am talking about redesigning Wordpress blogs. I won’t be bothering with designing other blogging softwares.

How to enter?

Simple!
Subscribe to my blog through email.
Verify the email.
Keep updated with the blog.
Post valuable comments on the blog with the same email that you are using to subscribe.

Only if all above are followed, at the end of the month, I will randomly pick a winner. One of my subscriber will get a customized redesign for their wordpress blog every month. I am hoping this contest will go forever as the subscribers are increasing. I definately want to say that this should be a cool experience for both the subscriber and I.

The design will have a stamp in the footer that will say Pimped with the logo of Balkhis. I will make it blend in the design so it doesn’t look like a paste over.

Now if you thought that you cannot afford a quality wordpress theme. Now you can all for free. Just subscribe to my blog and post some valuable comments.

Do not spam the blog please. Keep relative comments. I am not looking for quantity. I am looking for quality. In the end the pick will be random.

I will post all the Blogs Pimped by Balkhis on the page Pimp my Blog

I have randomly picked the winner for March, and We are working on his design. Once it is up, I will show it to all.

If you have any questions about this special program, feel free to use the contact form.

Myspace, a social networking phenomenon is now worst than spamwares about cancelling service. It is ranked #5 in Alexa and so many people use it, but I don’t know why. Let me tell you how I used it. When I got in the web industry, my sole goal was to make money. I will do it any way I could. I got a script that will add me to these 75 myspace trains, and people will add me from there. I had tons of thousands of friends and I made a chunk of money by sending out bulletins periodically about different websites. You can say I was averaging about than $40 a day by posting bulletins which equals $1200 a month. Damn for a 13 year old that was sweet. But then i got tired of it, and I left that business and moved on toward proxies. Thats another story.

But after almost 3 years I finally opened my account and decided to delete it. It took me 6 confirmation screens to delete the damn thing.

First step in the account setup page.

Second confirmation ok thats understandable because I can accidently click the cancel link

This is taking it to an extreme because this should’ve been asked already in the second step.

Damn, Now I must follow the email. WTF? I dont think they need to confirm it this many times. This should’ve already been done at the second step. Email dispatched.

Alright Now they are on my nerves. If i click the damn cancel link then cancel my F**king account !!!

O Hell No, Don’t tell me it is just in the que and will take another 48 hours. After all those steps I want it to be done now.

Thinking about making a myspace account. Think again. Reason why I stopped because I would get an email from them. Your friend’s Birthday Notifier, and I will go check instantly and there is nothing there. They were just spamming to get me to visit myspace.

I am just too frustrated about these people.
