Guest Posting and Ghost Blogging

Ghost Blogging and Guest Posting: What is it?

Yesterday, Will Dwinnell provided our readers at Blinkdagger with a great post that focused on Combinatorics within MATLAB. If anyone else is interested in guest posting at Blinkdagger, shoot us an email by using the Contact Form! We’re looking for MATLAB type content, engineering-related materials, but are not limited to just those two. If you think it’ll tie into the theme of this website, contact us!

Speaking of guest posting. Ritu B Pant, one of our earliest blogging buddies, has just launched a site that provides a common platform for aspiring writers and bloggers can meet! The site is called Ghost Blogging, and was just launched recently. I just wanted to help get the word out on this new site because it looks quite promising. If you have ever blogged for an extended period of time, you probably know that it can be difficult to keep up with your posting! Sometimes you just don’t know what to write about. Well, GhostBlogging can be a viable solution. To quote directly from the site:

The main idea behind GhostBlogging is to provide a platform where bloggers and writers can meet. Most bloggers are looking for new writers to give their readers a fresh perspective, while other writers/bloggers are looking for a way to reach new audience. And this is exactly what this site will help you with - finding someone to write for you or a way to gain more exposure and reach by writing for someone else.

So, if you’re even remotely interested, I suggest you pay the site a visit! You can write for the bloggers, or you can find people to write for you. I might even consider using it to try to get some guest writers for blinkdagger.

Colossal Error

Our good friend Doug Hull over at The Mathworks has recently informed me that I have been wrong since Day 1. It’s kind of embarrassing actually, but I’m going to come clean. Ever since the inception of this website, I have been writing “Matlab” (and sometimes just “matlab”) instead of MATLAB. I feel ashamed to have overlooked such a detail. For the next couple of days I will be going back and retroactively fixing this egregious error. Thank you, Doug. I wish I could write a MATLAB script to automatically do this . . . anyone know how?

NEXT UP!

I will be posting the next part in the Blinkdagger Signal Processing Series tomorrow. It’s a MATLAB related post that deals with the fft command. Stay tuned! I know Carrie Underwood can’t hardly wait.

Re: colossal error script

s = ‘Matlab matlab MATLAB Mathlab something.’;

a = regexpi(s,’matlab’);
for n=1:length(a)
s(a(n):a(n)+5) = ‘MATLAB’;
end

Steve,

Thanks for the tip! If I ever really decide to go back and change all my errors, I will use your tip for sure.

Hey Quan,

Here’s an alternative (salt free) way to get the colossal errors out:

str = urlread(’http://www.blinkdagger.com’);
str2 = regexprep(str, ‘matlab’, ‘MATLAB’,'ignorecase’);
fid = fopen(’notcolossal.html’,'wt’);
fprintf(fid,’%s’,str2);
fclose(fid);
web(['file:///' which('notcolossal.html')]);

Cheers!

Hi. I regularly scan this forum. This is the head culture unequivocal to ask a query.
How numberless in this forum are references progressive behind, artful users?
Can I bank all the advice that there is?
