每个人都背负着一个沉重的十字架，在缓慢而艰难地朝着目的地前进。

途中，有一个人忽然停了下来。

他心想：这个十字架实在是太沉重了，就这样背着它，得走到何年何月啊？！

于是，他拿出刀，作出了一个惊人的决定：他决定将十字架砍掉一些。

他真的这么做了，开始砍十字架。。。

砍掉之后走起来，的确是轻松了很多，他的步伐也不由得加快了。

于是，就这样走啊走啊走啊走，又走了很久很久很久很久。

他又想：虽然刚才已经将十字架砍掉了一块，但它还是太重了。

为了能够更快更轻松的前行，这次，他决定将十字架再砍掉一大块。

他又开始砍了。。。

这样一来，他一下子感到轻松了许多！

于是，他毫不费力地就走到了队伍的最前面。

大家看：当其他人都在负重奋力前行时，他呢，却能边走边轻松地哼着歌！

走着走着，谁料，前边忽然出现了一个又深又宽的沟壑！

沟上没有桥，周围也没有路。

这时候也没有蜘蛛侠或者超人出来解救他……

他，该怎么办呢？！

后面的人都慢慢地赶上来了。

他们用自己背负的十字架搭在沟上，做成桥，从容不迫地跨越了沟壑。

他也想如法炮制。

只可惜啊，他的十字架之前已经被砍掉了长长的一大截，

根本无法做成桥帮助他跨越沟壑！

于是，当其他人都在朝着目标继续前进时，

他却只能停在原地，垂头丧气，追悔莫及。

这个时候，在他的脑海里回响着一句话：

曾经有一个完整的十字架扛在我的肩上，我没有好好珍惜，

直到需要它的时候，我才后悔莫及。

人世间最大的痛苦莫过于此啊！……

其实，我们每个人每一天都背负着各种各样的十字架，在艰难前行。

它也许是我们的学习，也许是我们的工作，也许使我们的情感，也许是我们必须承担的责任和义务。

但是，正是这些责任和义务，构成了我们在这个世界上存在着的理由和价值。

所以，请不要埋怨学习的繁重，工作的劳苦，责任的重大，因为真正的快乐，是挑战后的结果，没有经历深刻的痛苦，我们也就体会不到酣畅淋漓的快乐！

有些黑暗，只能自己穿越；

有些痛苦，只能自己体验；

有些孤独，也只能自己品尝。

但是，穿过黑暗，我们一定能感受到阳光的温度；

走出痛苦，我们一定能企及成长的高度；

告别孤独，我们也一定能收获灵魂的深度！

会计核算的方法主要包括以下七种。

七种基本核算方法，即：设置会计科目（设置账户）、复式记账、填制和审核凭证、登记账簿、成本核算、财产清查、编制会计报表。可以把七种方法总结成为以下的口诀：

会计核算方法七，设置科目属第一。

复式记账最神秘，填审凭证不容易。

登记账簿要仔细，成本核算讲效益。

财产清查对账实，编制报表工作齐。

如果问你某项内容是否属于会计核算方法，只要对照上面的口诀便一目了然。

第一种方法是设置 会计科目 和账户 . 目的在于为经营管理提供各种类型的会计指标

第二种方法是复式记账。它的优点就是通过账户的对应关系，可以了解有关经济业务内容的来胧去脉，通过账户的平衡关系，可以检查有关业务的记录是否正确。

第三种方法：填制和审核凭证。作为会计核算的方法，填制和审核凭证不仅为经济管理提供真实可靠的数据资料也是实行会计监督的一个重要方面。

第四种方法，登记账簿。登记账簿必须以凭证为根据并定期进行结账、对账以便为编制会计报表提供完整而又系统的会计数据。

第五种方法是成本计算 . 通过成本计算，就可以反映和监督生产经营过程当中发生的各项费用是否节约或超支，并据已确定企业的经营盈亏。

会计核算的方法

第六种方法财产清查。在会计核算中，必须定期或不定期地对各种财产物资、货币资金保管和使用情况，以及往来款项结算情况进行清查，监督各类财产物资的安全完整和合理使用。

第七种方法编制会计报表。会计报表提供的资料不仅是了解企业经营成果和财务状况 , 同时是分析考核财务成本计划和预算执行情况，以及编制下期财务成本计划和预算的重要依据，也是进行经营决策和国民经济综合平衡工作必要的参考资料 .

上 述各种会计核算方法相互联系、密切配合，构成了一个完整的方法体系。在会计核算方法体系中，就其工作程序和工作过程来说，主要是三个环节：填制和审核凭 证、登记账簿和编制会计报表。其基本内容就是经济业务发生后，经办人员要填制或取得原始凭证，经会计人员审核整理后，按照设置的会计科目，运用复式记账 法，编制记账凭证并据以登记账簿，要依据凭证和账簿记录对生产经营过程中发生的各项费用进行成本计算，并依据财产清查对账簿记录加以核实，在保证账实相符 的基础上定期编制会计报表。

借贷记账法下的记账规则是基础会计学习的入门规律，是需要会计初学者深刻记忆和理解的最基本知识点之一。

一般把账户区分为资产、负债、所有者权益、 成本、损益五大类。

资产、成本类账户一般都是借方登记增加，贷方登记减少；

负债、所有者权益账户（二者合并称为权益）一般都是借方登记减少，贷方登记增 加；

损益类账户则需要区分是费用类还是收入类去分别登记，收入与费用之间的登记也是相反的。

为便于初学者理解，提高其学习兴趣，从网校找到了以下口诀，并命名 其为“记账规则之歌”。

记账规则之歌

借增贷减是资产，权益和它正相反。

成本资产总相同，细细记牢莫弄乱。

损益账户要分辨，费用收入不一般。

收入增加贷方看，减少借方来结转。

(Blogger Buzz) We’re thrilled to announce that the Blogger Template Designer has launched toBlogger in Draft, our experimental playground where users can try out Blogger’s latest features. The Template Designer brings a new level of customization to your blog. [...]

We worked with iStockphoto, the leading microstock image marketplace, to put together a great collection of beautiful images and patterns to use as backgrounds on your blogs. The photos are stunning, and are free to use on your Blogger blog.

Google is also teaming up with the Blogger theme designers in order to have their creations featured within the new theme store, which should help make BlogSpot blogs slightly more attractive (as not everyone is gifted in web design).

But what is really impressive is the fact that Google is introducing advanced customization tools that enable blogspot fans to easily change the layout of their blogs without touching one line of code.

Previously if users wanted to create a blog with multiple columns, they had to dig deep into the HTML and CSS of their site in order to manually adjust the appearance.

Now lovers of Blogger can (with one click) select whether they want to their blog to have two, three or even four columns (or even none at all) which will help save blogspot fans time and frustration with layout design.

In order to access these features, blogspot fans will have to visit Blogger’s eternal beta site at draft.blogger.com, although if you are still using Internet Explorer 6, these features will not work properly (as Google is no longer supporting that dead browser, and neither should you).

Google is promising to release more features for Blogger, which should help them maintain their lead as the world’s most popular blogging platform.

Little did I know that I was about to discover a book I was going to recommend to people and even would become my new reference book for a certain group of WordPress users.

As soon as I had opened my review copy it was clear that this book promised to be a great book, covering most different elements of WordPress in a simple but in depth way.

Who Is The Book For?

As one would expect the book deals with all different elements of WordPress, walking you both through the different versions, wordpress.com and wordpress.org in a simple and very understandable way.
The book is divided into four parts. The first three parts walk you through using WordPress and are valid for both wordpress.com as the self-hosted software version. In the fourth part the reader is not only guided through the different parts of WordPress Extend but the authors also have a closer, and in depth, look at the structure of themes.

As can be seen from the index table at the right it takes 70 pages before you are told how to create your first post but by then you’ll already have received an extensive insight in both the WordPress interface and several configuration options for your blog, the things you would expect from your average ‘Technical Blog Consultant’ who will charge anywhere between $25 and $100 to setup your blog and configure some widgets.

WordPress In Depth is clearly aimed at the beginner all while including little gems such as the Linking Strategy part on page 94-95.

Part 4: WordPress In Depth, The Truly In Depth Part

The fourth part of the book, which is aimed exclusively at self-hosted use of WordPress, is the real discovery and main reason to purchase this book. Where up to now the reader has been guided through every element of the WordPress software, from adding widgets to using the WordPress editor and often forgotten elements by users such as adding music files to your entries, Part 4 is the ultimate guide to themes and plugins for the beginner.

In this part you will not only learn how to tweak a theme but the insight offered by Bud Smith and Michael McCalister is enough to start building your own basic WordPress theme. This is also where you learn how to setup WordPress locally (Windows only), how to FTP and get a quick introduction to PHP and WordPress plugins.

What Not To Expect From ‘WordPress In Depth’

If your WordPress knowledge has reached beyond ‘understanding and knowing how to use WP’ and you regularly use WordPress Tutorials or are a big fan of sites such as WPEngineer and WPRecipes this book is not for you but will merely serve you as a reminder of all the features in WordPress. Still, if you have an extensive WP book library and regularly lend out your books, you should purchase it as the ‘ultimate WordPress guide for beginners’.

Should You ‘Buy WordPress In Depth’?

In the same category as WordPress for Dummies by Lisa Sabin E. Wilson, WordPress In Depth is the perfect guide for the WP beginner and at $21.59 at Amazon (RRP $29.99, $14.09 for the Kindle version) will save you many hours of Googling or browsing through the WordPress.tv library to find the solution or guide for your question. If you considered hiring a WordPress consultant in the range of $25 -$100 (or more even) to install and configure your WordPress blog, you should buy this book instead and save your money.
WordPress In Depth is a must in any WordPress library and if you are new to the world of WP this excellent guide, which gets a solid 8.5/10 from me, should be top of your shopping list. Buyers of the book also get access to a free online edition of the book.

However, like its Friendfeed predecessor, Google Buzz is slowly becoming a hit amongst many in the tech blogosphere, and I’m beginning to see even art bloggers embrace Google Buzz (as they can easily display their albums to the delight of their fans).

For those of you who are more interested in using Google Buzz as a micro blogging service, here are 3 iPhone apps you may want to check out.

Buzzie

Launched with much fan fare throughout the blogosphere, Buzzie is thus far the most elegant Google Buzz app upon the app store, which basically allows you to post status updates, search for new friends and find nearby buzzers on a Google Map (note: be careful who you contact though!).

You can even download images that you see from within your buzz stream, although there is currently no way to upload any pictures to your stream from the app itself (note: this is unfortunately due to Google’s limitation of the API, which they are promising to resolve in the near future).

Buzzie is currently selling in the app store for about $2, although the price will go up once Buzzie 2.0 hits (which will hopefully have image and video support).

Buzzr

Created by I See U, Buzzr is at its very essence the mobile web app of Google Buzz with one extra feature: image uploading.

Buzzr gets around Google’s lack of “developer foresight” by utilizing Twitpic, a popular third party image service for Twitter.

Unfortunately there is no way they can associate your image with your Buzz account (so all images uploaded are public), although hopefully they will give users other image uploading options in the future (perhaps via Picasa or Flickr?) as Twitpic can be very slow sometimes (especially during lunch).

Buzzr is currently selling for about $1 in the app store (which is perfect for a blogger short on cash).

Ultimate Notifier

While technically a push notification app, Ultimate Notifier is one of the first push services that officially supports Google Buzz (which is helpful if you are gaining a following with the service).

Priced at around $2, Ultimate Notifier may help satisfy your buzzing urge, although if you have purchased another push notification service (like Boxcar) you can simply type in your buzz feed address in order to receive notifications.

Any others?

These are the only 2 Google Buzzing apps (3 if you include Ultimate Notifier) that survived Steve Jobs app approval process, although developers are busy creating more apps for the iPhone (and hopefully other smartphones as well).

The issue is obviously an important one, especially for many bloggers who make a living from their content, but at the same time it is a total and utter waste of time and takes away from what self-employed online authors should be doing, write valuable content. Some content producers even go as far as calling adblock users ‘thief’.
The issue of adblockers, and ‘lost revenue’ is rather simple to break down and although I entirely support sites relying on ads revenue, all I can say about this is to Get over it.

Before you get upset now, let me honestly tell you that my blogging revenues depend mainly on ad revenue, but I also use ClickToFlash to improve my web experience and thus regularly block ads. Feel free to call me a thief, if I steal I also steal revenue of myself.

Decisive About Adblock Usage Statistics Is The Niche You Are In

The main decisive factor about the popularity of adblockers on your site is the niche you are in. When your content is tech focused, whether about new gadgets or about blogging (platforms), you probably will have more readers using Firefox and other standard compliant browsers, and also adblockers. Chances are high that you have also used an adblocker, during your many years online, or use a plugin such as ClickToFlash to at least limit the annoyances of Flash.
Tech minded users, surfers are the most active and often most prolific ones. They read sites such as Lifehacker and usually stay up-to-date about what the fastest browser is and how they can tweak their browser and internet connection, or network settings, to enjoy the fastest browsing experience.

But at the same time they also are the most prolific readers and often the most active participants to many a site. They use several social media accounts and chances that they still use locally stored bookmarks are very small. They will tweet, submit your great content to Delicious, Stumble and/or Digg your content. Or comment on your entries.

If your content revolves around philately or you run a popular ‘mommy blog’, chances are that you have a higher percentage of Internet Explorer users and less Firefox/Google Chrome/Safari or mobile users even among your readership. Most of your visitors might never have heard about adblocking technology.

They are the ‘influential’ users you need to get buzzed and go viral with your entries

Although I do not have any statistics about the more active and prolific participation of more tech savvy, and ‘addicted’, users in social media we all know that this is true. Being often online for more than 12 hours ourselves, just think about what your own online habits are. When was the last time you saved a bookmark locally but how many times have you (re)tweeted a good post you read instead? Ultimately you have to think less shallow-mindedly and trust the avalanche effect.
These maybe 5%-10% of regulars, often also fastest readers/absorbers of your content, who use any adblocking technology probably represent up to 80% of the first submissions and early votes on the social sites. They are the ‘influential’ users you need to get buzzed and go viral with your entries. To help your content reach the masses, masses who do NOT use any adblocking technology and thus actively generate you revenue. Once you have that base of tweets, stumbles and diggs your valuable content is more likely to be shared on Facebook, linked in local communities/forums and on smaller, less known blogs. Read by people who aren’t tech savvy and don’t know what an adblocker is. People who actively generate you money. People who will click your affiliate links without even knowing it’s an affiliate. People from whom you don’t have to hide/cloak affiliate links.

What Should You Focus On Then?

If you have to lose time trying out the best method to block these extensions, you’re doing it wrong. Instead you could try out alternative ad models, do some A-B testing about the location and popularity of your ads, but most of all you should return to your post editor and/or notebook and start focusing on your content again. If your content is great, the biggest content ’spunges’ will also promote your content. Remember that these are probably the same ones who read your content from their feed reader, a rather ad-free environment and if you have ads in your feed, these have the worst conversion rate of all anyway.

Why did they come to your site? Maybe because they wanted to comment on your content, participate to your community, but instead you just annoyed them, hijacked their browser experience. Remember that one annoyed customer will share his/her experience with everyone who wants to hear about but you need more than five satisfied customers to tell their friends about you.

Lesson learned: get over it and move on. We had the exactly same discussion in 2005 with feeds already, today most of us have more feed subscribers than daily page views.

We’ve also got a couple of new plugins this week. SKYARC System Co., Ltd,. created BasicAuthAutoCompleteLogin, which allows you to use your MT credentials on pages protected with basic HTTP auth.

Konjak from ELASTIC Consultants Inc does translation of your blog posts using either Google or Bing translation services.

For those of you running multiple blogs on MT, you can use QuickRebuild from Taku Amano to republish all your blogs at once.

One of the most powerful features of MT is the ability to publish your entries any way you want. Gercek Karakus needed an XML feed for Flash, so he created this template.

Finally, Maarten Schenk has a few tips and tutorials for us this week:

• Loading any Object (Entry, Page…) Based on a Custom Field Value — This will be useful if you’re writing MT plugins. Maarten shows how to use the search_by_meta method to do lookups based on custom fields.
• Looping over a List of Numbered Custom Fields in Movable Type — This post explains how to loop through your custom fields in a particular order.
• Optimizing Movable Type’s Standard Templates for Speed (part 2) — Maarten brings us more tips for optimizing our templates. This time, he talks about using caching to keep all parts of your site up-to-date while minimizing publishing time.

What have you done with MT lately? Let us know in the comments.

So, being the curious cat that I am , I did some investigating.

I looked at the search engine results page (SERP) for the most relevant keyword and saw that my post was not in the top 50 results. Instead, a site had scraped (copied through automatic means) the opening sentences of my blog entry and was ranking on the third results page. Also, they cloaked their post. In other words, they redirected it to a unrelated product.

Fighting the Cloaking Scraper

Usually, it takes time to fight a scraper that’s outranking you for a long tail keyword. Sure, you can go to Google and ask them to fix the results since you’re the original content creator. But Google is a big company with millions (billions?) of search results. The chance of them manually fixing the result is pretty low. You can contact the scraper and hope they stop but people are reluctant to give up their traffic. Oftentimes you just have to build links until Google’s algorithm trusts and ranks your site.

In my situation though, the scraper was also cloaking. Cloaking is a black hat tactic that Google frowns upon because it tricks the user into thinking they are visiting a page but instead they are redirected to an unrelated page.

I went to Google’s spam report page and reported the cloaked post. It took a few days but Google removed the offending post from their index. As a result, my post made the top 10 and my traffic increased.
