In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Adhere the backing with pieces of tape or with a hand clamp to prevent any run-off. Make sure it is pressed tight against the bottom of the hole. Scrap cardboard works best since it can easily be removed when you're finished. Hold the plastic rod 12 inch (13mm) above the hole. Use the welder on the end of the plastic rod to melt the plastic into the hole. Once the hole is filled, turn off the welder and let the plastic solidify. Keep your hands away from the heating end of the plastic welder to avoid burns. Find a rod that closely resembles the color of the plastic you're fixing. Heat the end of the plastic rod with a plastic welder. Start spiralling the rod along the bottom of the hole so it is pressed against the backing. Layer the plastic until it lays flush with the top edge of the hole. Hold the plastic welder 12 inch (13mm) away from the rod. You want it to be malleable, but not for it to melt completely. Once the hole is filled with the plastic, use a hot soldering iron to cut the end. Rub the edge of the iron across the top of the filled hole to smooth it out and to fuse the top of the plug. Do not leave a depression in the plug, since this could compromise its strength and integrity. It only takes a few minutes for the plastic to solidify. Once it is cool to the touch, use a file or sandpaper to smooth out plastic and make it flush. If you want to get rid of any file markings, hold the plastic welder just above the area to smooth it out. Cut away any large pieces that are too big to file with a small razor blade.
Summary: Attach a cardboard backing to the hole. Melt a plastic welding rod with a welder into smaller holes. Wrap a heated plastic rod into a spiral inside a larger hole. Use a soldering iron to trim the rod and smooth the hole. Let the plastic cool for five minutes before filing it.

This helps create relationships with both the blogger whose blog you're interacting with and the people who follow that blog. Make interesting, relevant comments on popular blogs. This will spark curiosity about your blog, and you may be able to pull followers. Respond to every comment someone leaves on your blog. You want the person who is responding to your entry to feel welcomed, respected and deserving of attention. This will make them more likely to talk about and share your blog with other people. Find blogs similar to yours to interact with - liked minded individuals will want to see your view on the interest you share. Respond to popular, topical articles or blog posts on your own blog. People like to see how writers interact with each other and will be interested to see how you responded to someone whose opinion they care about. Simply share an entry from one of your blogs with another one of your blogs - either by providing a link or copy and pasting, or both. This is a great way to get multiple audiences interested in your material. If you have more than one blog, cross post entries from the blog you want to become popular to your most popular blog. The people who follow you on one may begin to follow you on the other. If you don't have more than one blog, consider creating another blog or two with different blogging programs - even if you end up just creating a replica of your original blog. There are different sets of audiences who swear by different blogging programs. You can access these different bloggers and their followers by using as many blogging programs as possible to publish your entries. This is very natural way to create interest in your blog among bloggers and non-bloggers alike. The goal here is similar to cross blogging - get your content out on as many venues as possible. Consider using your personal social media accounts and email signatures to get people who are already connected to you connected to your blog. If people see an entry with a truly eye-catching lead, they're more likely to read it than something that seems dull or dry. Consider how headlines affect the likelihood that someone will click on a cross posted or shared link. Interesting headlines and subject lines are essential to successfully gathering interest through third parties. Does your blog look poorly put together? And have people seen it a thousand times before? Are your images relevant to your topic? Content may be king, but if you present it in a bad way people just won't read it. Avoid small fonts, lousy contrast, poor design and difficult to read colors they're all turnoffs. Looks are important; first impressions last. Make sure your blog is properly functioning. There are too many blogs with dead links, plugins that bug out, and other problems. Clear out the clutter. Less is always more. No amount of widgets or other "cool things" will keep a person interested in your blog. It may even distract them away from your writing. Direct them to your content in an interesting and streamlined way. Make sure you have a little introduction or indication of what your blog is about near the top of your blog's home page. This way people will know if your blog is relevant to what they're interested in. If you write it well enough, you may even convert people to your interests. Don't lose followers because you failed to update for a while, or changed the theme of your blog unexpectedly. If you're finding it hard to update at least weekly, look at similar blogs to yours and find entries that created a lot of comments. Lots of comments means that this person wrote about a controversial topic and you can use your response to someone else's blog as a foundation for your own entry. If you want to post something unusual given the theme of your blog, consider mentioning that and posting it under a link instead - your followers will appreciate that you're thinking about their time and interest.

One-sentence summary -- Interact with other blogs. Cross blog! Submit your posts and links to your blog on tools like forums, discovery engines, peer-sourced news feeds and social networking sites. Write great headlines and subject lines. Step back and analyze your blog as objectively as possible. Stay consistent.

Problem: Article: When you go to an Indian restaurant there are a variety of different dishes that all use the same basic ingredients and technique used in curries. The difference is primarily in thickening agent used: Korma uses a creamy agent, like coconut milk, yogurt, or cream. Saag uses greens, usually spinach but sometimes mustard/collard greens. Madras uses pureed and diced tomato Vindaloo uses pureed chilies. This technique, used in many restaurants, creates a curry paste of onions, garlic, ginger, and spices, which cooks faster and results in a smoother curry. To make it, use a food processor to grind everything up into a thick paste, then add it to the hot oil after the seeds have crackled. There is no one "curry" recipe out there. Curry is about mixing and matching ingredients using curry cooking technique, as outlined above. Still, to make the most basic, run-of-the-mill curry you would add and cook, in this order: 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or ghee (clarified butter) 1/2teaspoon ground cumin seed 1/2teaspoon ground coriander seed 1 medium onion - finely chopped 4 cloves garlic - peeled and sliced 1.5-inch piece ginger - peeled and thinly sliced 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, curry powder, salt 2 mild fleshy green chilies - de-seeded and chopped 5 tablespoons tomato puree or 1 tablespoon (14.8ml) concentrated tomato paste mixed with 4 tablespoons water You should add spices generously, tasting and sampling every chance you get. Start with a tablespoon of any of following, adding more or less to fit your preferences: Cumin (essential) Coriander (essential) Turmeric (essential) Ground chili powder Cardamom Cayenne pepper Cinnamon Curry powder Smoked paprika Garam masala Asafoetida (just a pinch, also called "hing")
Summary:
Understand how different sauces are created. Pulse or blend your ingredients ahead of time for a smoother sauce. Remember that cooking curry is about method, not a specific recipe. Play with the spices you want to add.
