Sexting is a coined word derived from the words "sex" and "texting" which basically mean exchanging nude or sexually related photos via SMS or also known as texting. I personally haven't heard of such case here in the Philippines but such modern issue is pretty evident in the US maybe because an MMS message here cost too much as compared to regular texting.
But anyhow the point of this blog is that it's another issue where children are exposed such acts which are highly damaging if they misunderstood it. Again, as I've said in my previous blog posts concerning the concerned people's appeal to MTRCB in banning commercials that children might misunderstand if watched, there are certain things in this world that we personally don't have control over and as such should have a different priority and strategy in solving problems related to such incidents. The best solution in any scenario that children may misunderstand [be it media, technology, other people, etc.] is for matured people especially parents to teach, guide and inspire the young ones and explain the pros and cons without any bias [if possible, especially to kids who are already 18 years old and above] about certain issues that they may encounter.
This doesn't mean of course that we should not appeal to media, technology, environment or other people. We should of course but it should not be our highest priority for the safety of our children but rather our personal guidance because the common denominator of sources that children may misunderstand such as media [TV, radio, print, internet, etc.], technology [PC, cellphone, etc.], environment or people [friends, schoolmates, neighborhood, etc.] - they are all BEYOND our control as either we have little or no influence at all to these sources. It's much like, you don't have the power to stop the clouds from falling and becoming rain but you definitely have the full power to bring all necessary raining gears if you wish to go out or stay wherever you are until the rain stops.

It has been almost a month now since I started this blog with the hopes of being one of the best Filipino blogs especially in terms of its content whether via writing, photos or videos. I know this is going to be a very challenging feat because I'm really really really super lazy in learning technical stuffs like web designing, development, graphic design, photo and video editing, etc. But I'll take it one step at a time and IF [this is a big if] I happen to become successful at least in learning the above subjects, then anyone who consider themselves a not-so intelligent with technical stuffs particularly on the net will be able to do it as well.
Where am I so far? I have used the services of Blogger.com as my blog provider being a super duper mega over newbie in the technical sides of blogging and the best news with this blog provider is that it's FREE plus you'll be able to earn from it via Google Adsense and other advertisements. I have already setup my Google Adsense. Google Adsense is an opportunity for bloggers to earn from the advertisements provided by Google posted in your website. I setup Feedburner as well. Feedburner is basically a subscription service where visitors of your blog will be able to subscribe via bookmarking sites or via email. I also setup Adgitize. Adgitize is a free advertising network where bloggers will be able to earn simply by posting articles [which is normal with bloggers], clicking advertisements and reading their contents, referring others to join the advertising network for free, etc. That's basically how a blogger earns from Adgitize. Click here to join Adgitize for free and earn by simply doing what bloggers do - post and read. I have also setup Entrecard. Entrecard is a free blogging network where bloggers will be able to promote their blogs to other bloggers to drive more traffic to their own websites.
And now the latest installation in my blog is the Google Analytics as I was wondering how many visitors I have in my blog on a daily basis which I don't have numbers for almost a month now because I don't know how to. I just installed it just a while ago and it's still gathering some data [or as far as I know]. I'll still wait for around 24 hours to see if I installed it correctly being a technical idiot that I am. But hopefully I installed it correctly as I don't know where to paste the code Google Analytics provided me in my template. Let's cross our fingers and hope for the best.

Another helpful website that I came across today is http://www.who.is/domain-suggestions/.
If you're finding it hard to think of a domain name for your website then the above website would definitely be able to help you in deciding what domain name to use as it suggests a lot of names based on the keywords you fill-in.
Here's a pretty useful link to novices like me on web development that you could use when you want to convert HTML codes to other codes like BBC and vice-versa: http://www.seabreezecomputers.com/html2bbcode/.
I normally use this site when I have to convert HTML to BBC for my forum signatures as most require BBC codes. I hope you'll enjoy the use of this site as well.
This is a serious website in sharing the authors' opinions, beliefs and point-of-views but in a way an experimental website in learning how to use Content Management System (CMS) in building a website, specifically blogs as I'm a novice in creating websites.
Just a while ago, I uploaded website addons such as Google Search, Feedburner and Adgitize.
Google Search is basically like a website addon that gives a website a free search engine where visitors of the website can use it to search for anything on the web outside the main site of a search engine. Feedburner is a website addon where visitors can click or fill-in their email address to subscribe to the website to provide updates about the blogs and comments of the website. While Adgitize is a website addon that helps website drive traffic via an advertising network and also provide website owners additional income via an affiliate program and clicking the advertisements being provided by the website.
