			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that Mang Inasal one of the food franchise in Philippines having a chain of 303 restaurants all over the country serving grilled chicken and other Filipino food which is known of giving a promo of eat all you can for the rice will be controlled by Jollibee, I a news provided by ABS CBN, 70% of Mang Inasal Philippines Inc will be acquired by Jollibee Foods Corporation. The estimated transaction price is 3 Bilion Pesos.</p>
<p>I think this is a good deal , what Jolllibbee did is to acquire it&#8217;s future competitor by giving a deal which is hard to resist. Mang Inasal is a rising food chain in Philippines.</p>
<p>Mang Inasal was established last 2003 by the Sia Family. Edgar Sia II, who has Chinese roots positioned Mang Inasal as an alternative quick service restaurant among a sea of food chains that have mushroomed all over the country.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>It is almost like blogging, If you need to be known in the industry you need to dig your niche. Research about the persons behind those successful blogs in your niche.  Be friendly and collaborate with your peers in your chosen niche and for sure your site will be noted soon. But of course you need to add value in all your post. Because I still believe that Content is something that will let your readers stay in your blog.</em></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6028" style="margin: 0px 2px 10px 9px; display: inline; float: right;" title="Blogging Tips" src="http://techathand.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/image6.png" alt="" width="200" height="214" align="right" /></p>
<p>Most of us want to have its own business that someday would give us a good and steady profit that could be used to raise our family. I might not have a big corporation like<strong> Apple</strong> or <a title="Can Hackers Hack Facebook on November 5 ?" href="http://techathand.net/can-hackers-hack-facebook-on-november-5/"><strong>Facebook</strong></a> but I believe someday it will be. I don&#8217;t want to stay as a worker for a very long time and I am seeing myself as an entrepreneur someday.</p>
<p>Today I consider<a title="Business Idea About Blogging and Investment" href="http://techathand.net/business-idea-about-blogging-and-investment/"> <strong>blogging as a business</strong></a>, <a title="Make MOney online" href="http://techathand.net/category/problogging/">since I earn from it</a> and I don&#8217;t have my boss. Having its own business is not easy but I believe that knowing the ins and out of blogging could definitely be used in starting up a business.</p>
<p>The way how a blogger plan his post that would eventually get a big traffic, is the same thing as a business person thinking on how they could draw customers on their new launch product.</p>
<p>Business have it&#8217;s Up and down, likewise in blogging there is also success and failures. There are times that a hardly written article will not have any single visitors or even comments. This is also same in business. This is why I consider blogging as a business.</p>
<p>I can be called as a <a title="A Interesting Story of an Entrepreneur" href="http://techathand.net/a-interesting-story-of-an-entrepreneur/"><strong>netrepreneur</strong></a>. Soon I will try to do some extended business that will be a result of my blogging career.</p>
<p>In business you need to have strategy in having new customers, in<a title="How Do You Make Your Blog Post?" href="http://techathand.net/how-do-you-make-your-blog-post/"> blogging</a> a strategy is also needed to gain more visitors and would be customers.</p>

<p>A great list of highly paid speakers willing to do it for a cause.
<p>I just wonder if this type of Fund Raising is possible to happen in Philippines for the good cause of in need. How I wish I can hear something like this happening soon in Philippines.
<p>I also did this as my part of helping her campaign since half of my visitors do come from USA. BTW I saw this campaign via Google Alert.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just want to inform you guys the latest development of this blog and my net exposure. I know that sneak preview of WordPress 2.5 is out, but I still believed it will take time to be stable. So better do some changes in this blog for the mean time.</p>
<p><span id="more-432"></span></p>
<ol>
<li>If you are one of my subscriber, You can now view full RSS feeds. There will be no more excerpt. Anyway I have installed my <a rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.techathand.net/how-to-insert-links-to-your-rss-feeds/">RSS links plug-in</a> just to protect this site from scraper. Thanks to Ronald Heft, Jr.for providing <a rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow" href="http://cavemonkey50.com/code/full-feed/">Full Text Feed</a> Plug-ins. This plug-in prevents Prevents WordPress 2.1+ from adding a more link to your website’s feed.</li>
<li>I have installed a great plug-in that shows my <a rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow" href="http://techathand.net/archives/">archives</a> with the number of comment it has. The plug-in was provided by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/sitemap-generator-plugin-for-wordpress/">Dagon Design Sitemap Generator</a> well actually I saw the plug in at <a rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow" href="http://silkenhut.com/taking-a-week-long-break/">Allen</a> archive. Thanks. This is sure SEO friendly since the Archives uses the permalink and post title. It simply great.</li>
<li>I fully join Twitter just yesterday and I am beginning to love how it works. Well until now I am still doing some testing <img src='http://techathand.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  . So if you have your twitter account just leave it here thru comments and let me follow you. And if you want to follow me here is my Twitter Address [ <a rel="nofollow" rel="me" href="http://twitter.com/techathand">techathand</a> ]. By the way please be informed that <strong>tinyurl</strong> is banned from Middle East. So your shortcut links will not be accessible for me.  I would prefer if you can use <a rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow" href="http://shortenurl.com/"><strong>shortenurl.com</strong></a> to shorten your URL for twitter purpose. I am now enjoying reading twitter thru m.twitter.com using my <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.techathand.net/taking-snap-shot-at-your-pda/">PDA</a>.</li>
<li>I just recently launch my <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.techathand.net/money-in-current-events/">Free E-book ( Case Study # 1 : Make Money Online Via Current Events )</a> and if that is successful. I would do some more free e-book for newbies.</li>
<li>BTW I got my new domain name <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.newsinphilippines.com">http://www.newsinphilippines.com</a> [ <em>Philippine News and Current Events</em> ]hosted at blogspot for the mean time, This is to keep me inform regarding news happening in my country</li>
</ol>
<p>That&#8217;s it for now. Enjoy with the New Plug-ins and Full feeds <img src='http://techathand.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
