On a high

/ Guttu / 8 Comments

Yesterday my blog got the highest visits and highest number of page views. 150 visitors and 400+ page views. It was overwhelming for me. I couldn’t believe the numbers 😮 my counter displayed. It was all because someone stumbled upon my blog post. Though the traffic was temporary, meaning I don’t expect those users to visit again, It was pleasing. They are the ones who just came here by accident. I’m looking for regular readers. The nonsense lovers.

In the mean time the entrecard thing works. That is the first impression of the site. But I’ll not make any conclusion till 15 days at least. I believe this traffic is also hit and run. The good thing about entrecard is, I get to read new blog. I keep dropping the cards and suddenly a story strikes my eyes. I wait, I read, I comment. Currently I’ve no subscriptions for any blog. But I’ll soon start them.

I’m coming across some really good blogs. Many of them found a place in my bookmarks. For last few months I’ve collected large number of sites. The del.icio.us page is increasing day by day. Currently the bookmarks touched 450 :woot: mark. That’s quiet a big number according to me. I don’t have to worry about browser crashing and loosing bookmarks.

Thanks to all my readers for reading nonsense. If you don’t like my blog, I’ll still continue writing. :p Now that I’ve entrecard, I need to earn some good amount of credits. I’ll probably never advertise on entrecard blogs. It’s not my type of advertising. But for those who like to be on my blog, you have to wait. If I like your blog and it’s worth reading, then it’ll surely find a place in that 125×125 space. Keep in mind I’m not here to make money at this moment.

Edit: Just forgot about the number of hits. It’s about to touch 8000.  :love: 1000 hits in 5 day span. :angel:

Technorati

/ Guttu / 2 Comments

I didn’t join this for some reason. But now I think that Technorati is important. So I went to the site for a sign up. All went well and now I’ve to claim the blog. Every service has different method for claiming the blog. And for this I’ve to write a post with a link to my profile . This is some what strange method. I didn’t like it this way. For most of other services I had to just paste a code somewhere in blog. That could be easily done.

I cannot create a post and delete it after writing. It’s something i don’t like to do. Duh…. So I had to write this post containing all the junk that you have read thousands of time all over. There is already so much junk in my blog and now this is another post. Technorati should change this method. How can a blog service ask a user to delete a post on his blog which doesn’t violate any rules?? It’s not blogging…

Just to help my blog with search engines and get some links in Technorati you are reading this. I’m really thankful that there are users for my blog who are interested even in reading the junkiest (Is that a word in English dictionary??) post of mine. So here goes the link I have to post Technorati Profile.

I don’t know whether I’ll use that or not but that’s my identity on Technorati. For social bookmarking purpose I use del.icio.us. That’s friendly with my browser..

Thanks for reading junk..

Entrecard – What is it??

/ Guttu / 5 Comments

I had registered to Entrecard some days back. But I never inserted the code. The reason was simple. I didn’t knew much about this thing. So I just registered and kept myself away from this. Just when I started finding this entrecard everywhere, I became curious about it.  Did some reading about entrecard and the credits thing. Thought it may just help to get some visitors. And there you see my entrecard.

It’s on temporary basis. Just as I tried trafficswarm and it failed for me. I’ll keep this for about a month and check how it works out. If I get some visitors it’ll stay here, else the dust bin is the place to be. I noticed a lag in loading the sidebar due to entrecard. I hate that. Thats why I keep minimum external links. Right now I’m also thinking of uploading all images to my site instead of using imageshack.

To make a room for entrecard, I removed the search bar. I noticed that hardly anyone uses the search. A bit of organized categories, archives and calender kept searching away. I’ll still keep a link in the meta later on. If at all you need to search then that will help. Also I added the “Add This” button. Now its easy to bookmark the blog. I may remove it and use the buttons for some commonly use social bookmarking sites.

Also this socialspark is making me crazy. I’ve registered to it and claimed my blog. Still not verified. I’ve kept the link in body tag for the statistics and a higher izea rank. That is the prime reason for slowing down the loading time of the blog. I want to remove it but a higher rank can help to get some hits. If I get bad feedback about this then I’ll remove that. After all this blog is for your reading.

More Changes

/ Guttu / 8 Comments

Last week I made some changes to my blog. They were minor changes. But I had some good changes in my mind that time. Unfortunately I could not implement them as I fell sick. Was not in a position even to stand forget the changes. Yesterday I felt better and today I’m almost fine. A little bit of cough still persists. So I decided to make some changes.

First thing was to have a Favorite icon. As you can see now my blog looks different in all those tabs. You can easily identify my page due to that small image. The “G” images. What does “G” stands for?? Well “G” stands for Genius. 😀 It’s my Initial letter. There are many fancy things also. But I thought of this simple icon.

Secondly some CSS changes. Now the links in my posts appear in clear red. Earlier it was difficult to find which text is link. But now it’s clearly visible. Also the text at the bottom of page is changed. Earlier it was “Next Page and Previous Page” now it’s “Older Posts and Newer posts”. Sensible??? Continue reading →

Posting for myself

/ Guttu / 6 Comments

I’m a selfish person. I’ve may have told this before. For those who don’t know be aware of this fact now. The reason for this to write is again the blog. Almost from day one on linkreferral I’m getting reviews that my postings are funny. They contain humor and hence they liked it. Some exceptions actually found the thoughts(??????????????????????????) behind this humor. But most of them rated high for the humor.

Now the fact is that I’m not writing for all my readers. Sorry to say that. But that’s the fact. I write what I want to. I write what I liked to read and liked to comment on. So the writings may not be funny always. Don’t expect me to write funny posts always(Yeah… Yeah… Running away from expectations). As you can see the 7000+ hits mark passed I get decent amount of traffic.

The thing I’m worried is that my blog may be getting into a mould. A mould where only funny things are written and you expect such things every time you visit. You haven’t got a decent laugh of smile throughout the day and expect that this blog will make you. Yeah I would love to do that. I will surely post nonsense. The only thing I want from you is that don’t consider this as a full fledged humor blog. Continue reading →
