headlines from Newspapers

 Sandeep ,

 

During our meeting yesterday , I demonstrated the process of writing a blog, as follows :

 

Ø     Read headlines from newspapers ( I subscribe to Times of India / Economic Times / Hindustan Times / Business Lines )

Ø     Cut out some news , for which I want to write a blog ( I enter on each cutting > Name of paper / date )

Ø     From each cutting, I enter the news-heading in Google to get several related links

Ø     In those links , my first choice is the link from same news paper . If I cannot find , then link from some other source for same “ news “

Ø     I copy / paste the “ News Heading “ and the URL , in a WORD document under “ Context “

Ø     I copy / paste ( entire or partial news from that link ) text under “ Extract “

Ø     I highlight some keywords in the pasted TEXT

Ø     Then I proceed to MY TAKE

Ø     I enter some news-related  keywords in our BLOGGER Dashboard to locate, one or more of my OLD BLOGS about the same subject . When I

          find one suitable / relevant , I type its heading AND URL , under “ My Take “

Ø     Under “ Extract “ , I copy /paste, relevant paragraphs from one of the selected OLD BLOG

 

 

As I mentioned yesterday , most of the times , a link of “ Times of India / Economic Times “ do NOT permit “ copy / paste “  [  pl find out how much would it cost / year for subscription and let me know ]

 

In such case , I adopt one of the following options :

 

Ø     Manually read and TYPE OUT the desired paragraphs from TOI / Eco Times ,       OR

Ø     Select similar news from “ HT / BL “ or any other source ( Hindu /  Indian Express etc ) , which permits copy / paste

 

Please send Dilip to my home tomorrow to pick-up all the news cuttings – which I have segregated newspaper – wise

 

Then create following 4 tabulations ( 3 columns in Excel ? ) – separate one for each news paper :

 

Ø     Title / Heading of the news

Ø     URL of same news title ( in same newspaper  ) – mention whether copy / paste allowed

Ø     If copy / paste NOT allowed, then URL of any other source ( for similar or identical news-heading  ), which DOES allow copy /paste

 

Send these to me and Kishan

 

These tabulations will help Kishan to test BLOG GENIE when ready

 

It will also help Kishan to advise us , which Newspapers we need to subscribe to

 

And of course, these tabulations, will help me to generate ( may be ) 5 / 10 blogs every day , when tool is ready !

 

Apart from newspapers , every day , I come across one or more news ARTICLEs in online sources ( or sent to me as Newsletters to sites which I subscribe to ) . I send these links to myself ( hcp@RecruitGuru.com ) for later detailed reading to decide whether I should use for writing a blog

 

When I send these links while reading on my iPAD , it gets stored in a folder ( which you created ) titled “ iCloud Emails “

 

Here is a crazy thought ( for examining by Kishan ) :

 

Instead of sending these links to hcp@RecruitGuru.com  from my iPAD or PC , could I . possibly send it to “ BlogGenie@RecruitGuru.com “ – and it gets automatically loaded into Blog Genie , straight away ?

 

Now , since I send many of these links ( to myself ) between 8 pm to 10 pm , lying in bed, while pretending to watch TV but reading on iPAD , I have certainly no desire ( or strength ) to write a blog , right away !

 

In this case , could I see next morning , in Blog Genie, a link which reads > Blogs awaiting writing

 

Clicking on this link will list ( say ) 4 links , one each for the blog awaiting to be written ?
