I don’t think I will be able to write anymore for at least a few months/years because of various reasons and circumstances, and at this moment I am not sure if I will even write again.

So treat this as my last post. I guess I Read the rest of this entry »

This post is in continuation of my earlier posts on simple tips & tricks on blogging.

What do you see here ?

This is called a feed counter or a feed chicklet. Many of us think this feed counter is not reliable because it keeps fluctuating and doesn’t give a correct and steady count. How can one have Read the rest of this entry »

I saw my blogs today… … all three of them.
And I sat still… .. gazing at the screen. I wondered about the people who read my blog. Looking at my clustermap, I marveled at the dots on it. Brazil, Peru, Canada, Paris, Germany, China, Honolulu, even Iceland !
Visitors from almost everywhere frequent my space. No. of subscriptions in four types of feeds has increased manifolds.

Do not put too many widgets on your site to make it slow. A page usually loads from top down in the order that the HTML is written, so when the browser encounters slow loading javascript, the page stops rendering for sometime. It’s generally easy to identify slow loading part of the page to figure out who exactly the culprit is.

I have stopped counting comments, queries and messages for my posts. I simply can not. They are from every corner of this world and in any form.
I keep getting requests to write on topics or true stories narrated by my beloved readers. They think I am a journalist or someone with supernatural power. I have many untold stories in my bag vying to come out in light. Sometimes it becomes difficult to take them up not because I do not want to write but because of the high expectations or fear of exposing someone.

At times I find it quite amusing as well.
They make me smile, happy, curious, overwhelmed, responsible and sometimes angry too.

Here is a sample of them, the shorter ones. Maybe your comment or message is also part of it.

I’m from England.

Yeah, that’s true.

I am finally back here or should I say trying to be back ? Heh.

Racist attack, corrupt system or surviving tactics of airlines. Some poetry or Passing the sentence.  The remaining posts on nostalgic moments or blogging tips.. Mixed emotions or my traveling experiences.. .. What should I start with ? Everything is being demanded.

I have so much to write about, so much of pending stuff and I don’t feel like writing. 
I don’t check my blogs. I am not Read the rest of this entry »

In last post I mentioned about plagiarism. Here is my article, a slightly different version of which was published in Blogadda.com a few months back.

You must have heard the word plagiarism. Ever wonder what does it mean and why we should know about it ?

Any of the following is considered plagiarism. Read the rest of this entry »

Negative side of providing full feeds.

In one of the earlier posts of this series I spoke about providing full feeds. But do you know it has some negatives as well ?

Full feed makes it easier to keep up with many blogs but it also has a negative side to it. Your Read the rest of this entry »

Strike a chord or Stay connected
You need to give others a reason to visit your blog. Further, you also need to give others a reason to continue reading your blog. Focus on finding that reason and, once you do find it, let your readers know.

You have to strike a chord, a connectivity with the reader. Some of your readers will connect while others will not, however hard they try. No power or widget on earth can do this for them. And this happens naturally.

Connectivity means if you Read the rest of this entry »
