When "Web" and "log" were combined to form the word "blog" in 1999, few foresaw the power these online journals would wield. Now, blogs number near 4 million and deal with every conceivable topic -- from favorite recipes to education reform to Mick Jagger sightings. The influential commentary of political bloggers earned them invites to last summer's national party conventions, and in September, bloggers pulled the curtain on Dan Rather and those spurious National Guard papers. Want a piece of the action? Running a great blog and gaining loyal readers isn't easy, but use these tips as you hop on the bandwidth bandwagon and you'll be on your way.
PICK THE WRITE STUFF.
Combine the Internet with a free society, and there's no limit to the subject matter of blogs. A personal diary or a news outlet? A platform for activism or a conduit for scuttlebutt? Whatever it is, write what "you are really passionate about," says Rebecca Blood, author of "The Weblog Handbook" (Perseus Books, $14) and proprietor of the eclectic blog Rebecca's Pocket (www.rebeccablood.net) since 1999. "Your enthusiasm shows through in your writing, and people respond."
Bill Ardolino, 29, started the political blog InDCJournal.com because he "had something to say that wasn't being said." Ardolino, advises neophytes to "provide material that is unique somehow." Do that, agrees Blood, and people "won't be able to wait to hear what you have to say next." Once you have a topic, just register with a provider such as Blogger (free) or TypePad (fee), and use their simple templates to set up your site.

Philippines Light Rail Transit Public Transportation
The Manila Light Rail Transit System (Filipino: Sistema ng Magaan na Riles Panlulan ng Maynila),[citation needed] popularly known as the LRT, is a metropolitan rail system serving the Metro Manila area in the Philippines. Its twenty-nine stations over 28.8 kilometers (17.9 mi) of mostly elevated track form two lines. LRT Line 1, also called the Yellow Line, opened in 1984 and travels a north–south route. LRT Line 2, the Purple Line, was completed in 2004 and runs east–west.
The LRT is operated by the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA), a government-owned and controlled corporation under the authority of the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC). Along with the Manila Metro Rail Transit System (MRT, also called the Blue Line), and the Philippine National Railways (PNR), the LRT is part of Metro Manila's rail transportation infrastructure known as the Strong Republic Transit System (SRTS)
