BloggerBuzz has just announced that Blogger.com is now available in “Filipino”.

True enough, every word on Blogger.com that can be translated is written in Tagalog. I even had a good laugh with some of the phrases found on their site which were very uncommon and “malalim”.

Ever wondered what happened to the Photo Contest that was a part of the Trinoma Blogger Food Tour? The winner was supposed to be announced last February 9 but it never happened. I only found out about the winner from one of the contestants who directly asked Yehey (the organizer of the event) about the contest.

What do you do when you’re not posting on your blog? Do you just sit back and relax while you wait for people to drop and read your blog? Or do you continue to stay glued in front of your computer taking time to market your blog?

I find it really amusing that a lot of bloggers don’t bother promoting their blogs at all…

Yep. I know, it’s not a weekend recap anymore. Better late than never, right?

Here are the latest news and some interesting posts in the Pinoy blogosphere that happened during the past week:

MyBlogLog just recently redesigned the Recent Reader Widget and added a new feature!

The new widget sports a glossy-professional like design with multi-colored shading that looks more like an i-phone.

I noticed that there are a lot of Blog contests around the Pinoy blogosphere today, especially this month. Which is why I took the liberty to make a list of Pinoy-made blog contests for the benefit of the pinoy blogging community.

Here are some blog contests that you could sink your teeth into for the month of February.

One of PinoyBlogero.com’s readers asked, “Won’t blogs get penalized by Google when they cross-post on other blogs?”

A lot of Pinoy bloggers are doing “cross-posting” nowadays. Once they finish up an article, they’ll cross-post a copy of it on blog aggregators (like PinoyBlogosphere.com or PinoyBlog.com), on their other blogs, or on their multiply account.

For years, Pinoy bloggers have always been treated like royalty. They are a pampered lot who are used to getting things for free (Free food tours, free seminars, free parties etc).This is why when an invite came about a Make Money Online Seminar that has an entrance fee of Php6000 pesos, the only sounds heard were gasps and wails of disbelief.

The Blog and Soul Movement will be having a roundtable discussion regarding Blog Ethics and Libel this coming Saturday, February 16, 2007. Get the chance to engage into a healthy discussion with other Pinoy bloggers regarding the ethics of blogging and the the issue of libel in the world of blogging.

Here are some of the latest news and interesting articles on the Pinoy blogosphere this week!

# Mad Over Money - Game On or Off? - An in-depth analysis of why a lot of Filipinos love Game shows
# Do you consider yourself as an expert on Adsense? Manuel Viloria says there is no such thing as an “Adsense Expert”. Found out why he says so here.

Just when I have just finished upgrading my blog to version 2.3.2, Wordpress.org somehow got the urge to release 2.3.3. Sheesh!

Wordpress has just released an urgent security release that fixes a few minor bugs that were found on the previous version.
