Must A Blog Have Pages?

Hello bloggers. Let me ask you a question about blog. Must a blog have pages?

I raised that question because Blogportant uses Blogger that as you might know, Blogger has no paging feature. Blogger has no ability to create a page like what its rivals can do.

In my views, blog that evolved from a web log to online journal then become creatures like what we find on the internet nowadays has no page. Blog has posts but not pages. But, in reality, there are blogs that have pages because their blogging engine like WordPress, TypePad,  B2Evolution, etc.support bloggers to create pages.

Then, what is your views? Must a blog have pages?

Your answer will have consequences. If you answer that bloh must have pages, I will ask Blogger to provide the feature for us. On the other hand, if you say blogger must not have pages, I will let it like what I have been receiving so far.

I myself think that in some cases a blogger has to provide one or two pages on his/her blog. About me page is the page that most bloggers provide on their blog. Other blogger completes with Contact page. What never left is Privacy Policy page.

Without the supported feature to create a page, Blogger users have to be creative. We can make a post containing the information that will be covered and then make a link to that post on our blog navigation. Just do not give up. Everything is possible to do. Indonesian people no rattan we can use root to mention that we can use other material to substitute unavailable material.

Unaligned AdSense Optimization Report Regarding To Referral Retirement

As we might know, Google AdSense has written to us about the retirement of Referral that will be executed during next last week of August 2008. Every AdSense publisher has been emailed about that important news.

Even, if we log in to Google AdSense dashboard, the red text with the same message is added after Referral section.

But, unfortunately, I still have July Optimization report that said that referrals can add incremental revenue to my site. That optimization recommendations is not aligned with referral retirement message Google AdSense sent to us, isn't it?

I shot a screen capture of the optimization report to give you clearer explanation:

Yes. Of course that the optimization report is generated by automatic system and I think that Google still maintain it to include referral optimization recommendation because referral will be retired during last week of August 2008. AdSense Publishers has enough time to publish referral on their website. I choose not to publish referral.
