Thoughts on a Lonely Afternoon

After months of hard work and procrastination, I have finally managed to move my blog from Blogger to its self-hosted WordPress self. The blog now a new name, a new domain and a completely new look.

Things weren’t too easy in the beginning though especially since I had no knowledge of php. But I slowly learnt the small little things I needed. A big help was the large number of WordPress users who have developed a plugin for everything you might need. Special thanks to Dean J Robinson for this fabulous theme called Redoable. And finally, I would like to thank myself for customizing the theme to suit my needs, working so very hard on the move and most of all, manually migrating most of the images from blogger.

So all the regular readers of my once regularly updated blog are requested to update their bookmarks and blogrolls. Also, (mostly positive) comments and questions on all these changes are welcome. I already am aware of some small bugs but still of you find something then let me know.

And keep visiting!! Expect long regular post(s) really soon!! No! Sooner than that!!

    Nice blog man, really cool. why the name change of the blog?

    but I miss the road, and the car :P

    You say you are aware of the bugs and that we are supposed to tell you if we find something. But how will we know which bugs you know?

    I think it would be better if you made a list of all the bugs you know, then we will let you know if the bugs we see are the same, or if they are different? okay??

    @Abhinav: Thanks!! Also, thanks for the first comment on the first post on the new blog!! :)

    @Greensatya: Thank you! Yes, lots of hard work!! I’m glad you like it! And I do plan on updating it regularly.

    @Freeze: Thanks! Well, there are lots of reasons for the name change. The most important being that I don’t just blog on lonely afternoons in the office anymore :D

    I miss the road, and the car

    You can still find it on the “about” page!!

    I think it would be better if you made a list of all the bugs you know

    What kinda s/w engr. would I be if I did that? If you discover a bug, report it to me and then I’ll tell you if its already known to me. This way, if nobody discovers anything, the blog is practically bug-free.

    And, yes, comment repost detection is just one of the countless cool features of WordPress.

    I like the look of the header image. But what I like most is the title. I couldn’t have come up with a better one!!!
