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.

Fair Play: The Devil's Advocate and CFA vs. CAFC

(This is my Fair Play column for Sun.Star Cebu on Feb. 6) I GOT an interesting e-mail the other day about the consequences for teams that withdraw from PFF-organized national tournaments and its corresponding sanctions. I guess, it’s time to play Devil’s Advocate. For PFF-organized events, there are four types of withdrawals—after confirming participation but before grouping or scheduling takes place, after regional finals but before grouping in nationals, after the grouping in the nationals, and in the course of the national competition.
