Did you help someone start blogging ?



Tags: , , ,



Yes, I am asking a question..again .. ” Did you help someone start blogging ?”

I think, I have managed to help a few, including her. But the thing is, most of them stopped blogging after few posts. still .. there are people who are doing it better than me.

Related question… may be... Did you bring someone to Wordpress, from Blogspot ?. I know we Wordpressers have a kind of habit… bringing more people from Blogspot to Wordpress.

So, if you have someone to call you “Guruji” … please drop a comment here and let others visit your Shishya (s) !!

yup! i had…. Amooma … my first student…. told her to shift to wordpress…

ഇനിയും ഉണ്ട്… കുറെ ഉണ്ടായിക്കൊണ്ടിരിക്കുന്നു… :)

shifing from blogger to wordpress is really a problem,… for me, I have submitted my blogs to 100’s of sites, “spammed” in forums (see my PR of 4 for my Malayalam blog) …..and after shifting to wordpres, I don’t want to do all those things again…. also, most of Malayalam blog aggregators are inclined towards blogger…

@ pR@tz

Hmm so, you are using Both blogger and Wordpress since you dont want to miss any of the good features out there…. good attitude .. about PR, I would say, wordpress will get u a page rank of 3 very fast and it will increase if you do some SEO …

@ Rekha

Mine ? hmmm hmmmm *sigh* ………….

@ Balu

Thanks … give us some links buddy ….

#18 dinu on 06.19.08 at 9:38 pm

@ Arvind …

Oh cool …why don’t you try to teach others about blogging ;)

#19 ankur on 06.20.08 at 1:21 pm

how does it matter where the person blogs.. wordpress or typepad or blogger.. to me all are the same

#20 dinu on 06.20.08 at 1:25 pm

@ Ankur

Well, if its just about writing, it doesn’t matter, but if you need more feature, interactivity, addons , etc … where you host and what you use matter a lot

#21 arvind on 06.20.08 at 2:03 pm

he eh who would want to learn frrom me.. :P
anyways i have made somepeople to start a blogonly thing is that they dont write anything :P

#22 dinu on 06.20.08 at 2:16 pm

@ Arvind

I am sure you can help others with Wordpress .. hmm we can’t make them write… we can only help them start a blog or maintain it

#23 arvind on 06.20.08 at 4:17 pm

right …
people are actually impatient to sit write and read blogs..
they find it so boring…so i dont argue with them much…
:P

#24 Rekha on 06.20.08 at 5:08 pm

Bt i think gurujis have the responsibility to feed something into d brain of shisyas to make dem write :D
u did tht to me dinsa :P

@Arvind
Yeah most of the ppl luv to spend time chattering in the net rather than reading or writing something ..

#25 dinu on 06.20.08 at 8:33 pm

@ Arvind

Correct and we can help them with that, other than few comments or emails … or through them few interesting posts …

@ Rekha

Mmmm tagging is a good way to force Shishyas to write !!

#26 Rekha on 06.21.08 at 2:01 pm

@ Arvind n @ Dinu

#27 dinu on 06.21.08 at 2:36 pm
