Going off track

If you have noticed, throughout this month I have failed to update blog on daily basis. I was successful for the whole year to update it daily. With the start of new year, I have failed to do so. There is no single definite reason for this failure. I want to put all those reasons in this post so that I get some relief from the failure.

The first reason being my previous web host. I don’t know what happened to the servers but they kept my blog offline for about three days. A perfect start to new year as I said already. The staff must have been in the “new year eve” environment for these days. Lot’s of booze. I think my old admin friend left that company. I didn’t got any replies from him. Hello… Anyone home??

Then I changed my web host and was happy to get good speed. Things looked good. But when everything is going ok, something bad is about to happen. Suddenly I started getting memory errors. I mailed and mailed lots of time. Got replies like “Fixed”, “Done” and similar one liners(And one worder’s). Finally my blog was offline again due to new web hosting. After some hours it was back but I was getting too many errors. It looks like he installed CentOS again. Everything works quick and no errors now. Continue reading →

Which Social Network to choose??

Every blogger, every webmaster now knows the importance of social networking. They are the prime medium of traffic to your blog or website. If you want your blog(lets stick with blog) to be popular then have a good network in social networking sites. This traffic may be perennial or for a short duration.

The advent of large number of social networking websites suggests that they know their importance on the web. Every now and then a new website comes up with little variation from that of original one. That little variation may be sufficient to make it popular. Though this doesn’t happens always and these sites vanish six feet under after a year or are sold to other networks.

With so many choices it is very difficult to choose which is the best one for you? Which is the best one for traffic? I was in the same confusion as you are. But lately I came to know that if you build a good network then any site will do good for you. More the friends you have more traffic you get. So don’t hesitate to make friends.

Out of  the many I registered I have focused myself now on Digg and Twitter. Digg is the mother of all social bookmarking sites. It has gone wild lately due to the way popular topics are showed, still it’s the best. Twitter is the latest trend and it’s hot. My twittercounter will show you how popular I am. I am still in the building stages of the network. It’ll take 2-3 months more to get established. My blog is yet to get success from both the sites. But I am sure that it will come one day.

After all this I would like to repeat the mandatory sentence that you read on all blogging related sites. Focus on your content because it is the best way to get attention. If you have good content then you’ll get popular the easy way.

Problems with blogging

It’s been long since I have written anything about blogging. Did I write?? So this post breaks the silence. For the past few days I am having troubles with my blog. They are getting bigger and bigger. I am sharing them here so that I may get some help and some solutions if any. The list is small but the problems are big.

The first one is database error. This is really frustrating. Everyday I try to find more and more ways to attract real users, I succeed and then these errors. I have informed the admin. Let’s see when this get resolved. If this doesn’t get resolved in two days, I’ll be moving to another host for sure. My hobby of blogging is now my passion which is hard to hurt. Continue reading →

Have you heard of Goa??

It’s the place where I live. :woot: Shocked??? May be or may not not be. But there must be at least one who will have this question in his\her mind. How come such a stupid person be in the coolest place in world?? Sorry to disappoint you. But that’s where I live. And believe me it’s really a nice place to live. I’ve been living here since the day I was united into 23+23 chromosomes. (I’m weak in Biology. Correct the number if I’m wrong.)

I’m writing this today because my blog completed five months. It’s six months for me. I worked hard (????) :whistle: for about a month, that was in January, to learn about blogging and gathering content. When I started the blog, I had enough content to post for one and half month. I used all means to put this blog forward. And after five months of blogging, now I can write about anything in just a matter of minutes.

I’ve learned the art to write (I was illiterate 🙁 ). How to write a post given a topic. That is what matters to keep your blog alive. Reading is the most essential part. Keep reading, especially other blogs. That will give you some ideas. Don’t copy them but use them. But write in your own words. Continue reading →

Atlast..

I was very much frustrated of being not able to blog for 4 days. After some efforts(???) somehow I got this blog working. And now if it’s not being updated daily then what is the use. After searching some shops for motherboard and CPU, I found the one I wanted. Got new PSU also. Though my current one works and is compatible. I somehow fell for the words you can say.

Then it took sometime to assemble all the things one by one. It’s been long since I had assembled a PC. I plugged one by one so as to prevent any further damage. Once Motherboard and CPU got working it was easy I thought. But then a painful installation of Windows XP and all that junk so as to get things working.

Still haven’t installed any software other than my favorite browser. It feels lot better to get back to blogging again. Will continue to post nonsense.

Think Nonsense…
