Meeting KidBlogger Carl Ocab

Author: Master Blogger

Oct 18

If you are into blogging, then you must have read about the achievements of Carl Ocab. As a blogger at the age of 13, his claim of earning money online became a hot topic in the blogosphere. Some were amazed and wanted to know how he did it but some were questioning the credibility of his claim. My view? He had good mentors.

Today, I finally met Carl Ocab, that is about two years after he became popular at the age of 13. He attended the free seminar conducted by Joel Christopher at the University of Sto. Tomas, Manila which I also attended.

He looks older than a 13-year old because he is already 15 according to him. I could have gotten more pictures if I brought my extra battery with me

An extraordinary kid simply dressed in black shirt and pants, you’ll never guess he is already earning from blogging. A real masterblogger in his own right, that is Carl Ocab - the KidBlogger.

25 Magazine Style, Clean, Professional and Free WordPress Themes

Aug 1

Taking advantage of what the web offers in terms of blogging, I am always in search of the best and yet free WordPress templates. It doesn’t mean that I don’t support the premium ones but let’s look at the free ones first.

While looking for an appropriate WordPress template for Master Bloggers, I decided to make a compilation of the themes I will encounter during my search. I have not chosen a particular theme yet (and a sponsor is always welcome but the choices are getting longer.

The themes included in the listings are either a magazine-style or a clean, professional WordPress layout or can be both. Choices on the WordPress template to use depend on the niche and personal preference. For text-heavy professional looking websites, finding a free template that will encourage readers to read more (aside from quality content) is time consuming especially when you can’t find the right and yet free template for the website you have in mind. There are too many designer sites to visit so a list will always come in handy. Until I began compiling the list, I have not seen some of them.

Some of these templates have instructions that must be followed in order to display correctly so be sure to read the readme.txt file that may be included in the package. Visit the links for the demo and/or downloads.
