Tips: What to put in your blog


If you run a blog for your local FA (unofficial or not) there are a lot of stuff you can use for material.  If your FA or team is joining a tournament, you can put up updates of their games, or even announcement of tryouts, team lineups or meetings.

Always remember to include all the details if you come out with announcements for tryouts, meetings or even tournaments so your audience (players, fans) will know where to go.

If you get tired writing stuff, you can upload photos of your team (just acknowledge the source, it it’s not yours). Photos are very helpful, pre 2010, when all I wrote mostly was about Cebu news, I had more hits when I posted fotos than match reports.

And with Facebook today, sharing fotos becomes easier.

Once you get the hang of it, updating your blog with original content becomes easier. And whenever you update your blog, remember your target audience, it’s nice to share a few stories about the Azkals or your favorite UFL team once-in-a-while, but if you keep on doing that, your blog will just be like the thousands out there.

Come up with original content for your FA/team, then in a few months or so (depending on how aggressive you promote your blog) you are going to start having an audience.

The failed U23 experiment

THE only positive thing that we can take in that loss against Timor Leste was that the U23 squad looked good in blue. And Ebong, too. The Blue-Haired fanatic whose voice we all heard on TV was fantastic. The team? The result? To be perfectly blunt it was a scrappy game from a scrappy team that seemed to treat the SEAG as a vacation, or a chance to gain more Twitter followers. (Yey, I can tweet the team apology first!) Going into the match, almost every fan who paid attention knew that we needed to win. Unfortunately, it seemed the players were operating on a different mindset.

Mother Nature plays spoilsport

A Pinoy played for Real Madrid? (updated)

Image
HERE'S an interesting photo submitted by Asian Football Confederation women's committee member Cristina Ramos. Its taken at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and shows a gallery of the great players who played for Real Madrid. And guess where one of them is from? Jaron Genota said the only information he has managed to gather is that the player's name is Teus. I hope to get more information on this guy in the next few months. Ms. Ramos, who was also in the organizing committee of the Fifa U17 and U20 women's world cup, said the picture was part of Real Madrid's exhibit on the universality of their players. From Ms. Ramos, "Mike, the photo of the Filipino player was part of the display entitled "The Universality of our Players" in the Real Madrid museum in Bernabeu. It's funny that they acknowledged him but did not name him. Only those from countries which participated in the World Cup were named."
