You guys know that I am crazy about blog design and themes etc, but I am not a designer.

I realize, that blog designing is not just about colors and header images but lot of other things, including information architecture and user experience.

I do follow a lot of blogs by wordpress designers. I enjoy reading about their experiences and experiments ; I get to learn a bit about blog layouts, blog architecture and blog designing ( at least I know these terms.right? )

I get enough inspiration from them, especially when I read something like this.

“You might find this difficult to believe…
But 2 years ago I didn’t own my domain name, had never touched a piece of WordPress code and knew nothing about blog design. In other words, everything I’ve done with WordPress and blog design in the past year has been self taught, using trial and error.”

So, it’s possible to learn wordpress designing and coding if you want to. But I was too lazy to try it out myself. Still, after following their blogs for few months, and trying different themes almost on a daily basis, I have learned enough to judge a wordpress theme, even though I can not design a theme on my own.

Ok, something happened here and it was secret. It became secret because I forgot to tell you, rather, I did not get time to tell you all about it.

This website was moved to another server. The idea of server move happened to me all of a sudden, and I already had the account ready. Since I had a lot of test stuff, all thoe CMS, Joomla Drupal, Mambo etc etc installed on the old account I left the idea of the normal cPanel to cPanel account move.

I installed wordpress here, on root directory, and moved posts in xml format. So, all the links that worked under dinsan.info/blog will not work any more. The new installation is on dinsan.info and not on the sub folder blog. Because of this, all the links pointed to dinsan.info/blog and most of the image links will not work. It will take a bit longer for me to fix all of them. So, if you find a broken link or image, just excuse it.

I would love to hear from you, if you find any difference in the speed of website, or any areas !!

I am not sure how long it is going to take this new location to get indexed on google and bring all those traffic back. I have already lost the pagerank I had hmm still, hope for the best.

Merry Christmas to all !!! Have fun……..
