3 Hidden Health Problems Associated With Extreme Blogging Posted: 03 Jul 2012 09:53 AM PDT While blogging can be a great avenue for you to use your voice and perfect your craft of writing, it can actually deter your health if you’re not careful—especially with “extreme bloggers,” a term I give to professional and truly dedicated bloggers who devote all of their time and hard work to their blogs and their readers. Think about it: you reduce your amount of exercise because you sit down all day which could cause weight gain and obesity; you stare at the computer screen which can negatively affect your eye sight; and excessive typing can cause carpel tunnel syndrome. It’s awful, but preventable.  That said, below are a few tips you should consider taking to ensure that you passion for blogging doesn’t interfere with your health in the slightest. 1. Sedentary Dangers The math is simple: sitting in a sedentary position for more than four hours a day + no additional physical activity throughout the day = an array of health complications. Weight gain and obesity is the most obvious since reports show that not only are the enzymes that break fat reduced by 90% as soon as you rest your bottom to a chair, but you only burn one calorie per minute in a sitting position.  Research also shows that those with sitting jobs are twice more likely to contract cardiovascular diseases than those with standing jobs. Thus, when experts say that sitting can potentially kill you, they mean it. Switching out your chair for a yoga ball and doing some sitting exercises can help, but actually making the effort to get up and move around a bit between each blog posting can really help as well. Make sure to take a few laps around the block, use workout videos, or join a gym to get in some “real” physical activity at some point in the day. 2. Fighting Blindness Whether you’re creating your next potentially award winning blog post, shuffling through guest post pitches, or just researching for your next possible topic, make sure that you give your eyes a break from the harsh computer screen every now and then. You won’t go blind per say, but research does show that you can increase your chances of developing short-sightedness. Not to mention, computer screens can cause headaches. Experts suggest turning away from your computer screen every hour to give your eye a break, but closing them or walking outside should do the trick as well. Remember to adjust the screen lightening and contrast so that it doesn't strain your eyes too much. 3. Avoiding Carpel Tunnel Sore hands and wrists is just an aftermath of typing all day—but if you’re not careful, you can possibly develop a more serious condition like carpel tunnel syndrome or tendinitis. To make sure you’re not overworking your hands, stretch them periodically. You can massage your hands and rotate your wrists. Or you can try spinning a tennis ball carefully in your palm. Like mentioned before, blogging is a great way to release your creativity, just take precautions to ensure that it does jeopardize your health. This article is written by Amelia Wood.

The option to add pinterest tab to your Facebook page is available because of WooBox. They have created this beatiful Facebook app that lets you do so. The Pinterest Tab once enabled on your page allows you to show your Pins to your Facebook fans and to more audience. But, what i like more than that is it will make your page look better!

This enables you to have more likes from your boards(when published on your pages). 8. And the feature that I like the most! You can enable Fangate. This option will let you show your Pin  Boards to only those users who have Liked your page. You can get more like just by their curiosity.  There are options to add HTML, Text, or a picture to show in the Fangate. This might make your page more interesting. 9.

Your page will now look something like this: Doesn’t it look nice in the top four tabs. Actually tweaking Facebook pages isn’t that hard. The problem is, many people don’t want to make things look different. If you want so, your page will look nice, if don’t what’s the problem in being an average Joe? By the way, you can add Google Plus Tab to your page by the similar method. This article is written by Aman Singh.
