When twitter became popular, I thought people will stop blogging and start twittering. But people started blogging about twitter. More blogs were created serving various aspects of twittering. When I started twittering, it influenced my blogging habits in a positive way. Your tweets make me feel good, and keep me inspired.

I Read More

I get to read more  interesting articles, thanks to twitter. 90% of tweets that I see, includes a link. It could be an article that they liked, their own blog post, or a funny picture. Anything worth a retweet is shared among everyone, and we all read it. Other than comment forms on blogs, Twitter gave me  another platform to communicate, share and socialise. Continue reading →

Day Dreaming is my favorite hobby !!! Nice .. isn’t it ? and lately, my day dreams too turned geek. Android .. google and Netbooks. I started dreaming about these three, after reading so much about them.

But why should I read a lot about them ? What makes it interesting ?

1. Linux has become user friendly and powerful and it is ready for the use of common man. 2. Linux will be the best choice for Netbooks. 3. What Linux needs now is support from a Company which has mass acceptance, and Google is the best partner it can ever get.

So, when google and Linux join together, we need to expect something .. big …  reason ?.

Imagine you introduce Linux to a Windows user, and tell them this is Ubuntu, a Linux OS .. try this out … they may not do it .. and they will start complaining about it even if they start using it .. but  the desktop environment is pretty much the same. Now, introduce Google Docs to a MS Office user, and tell him/her that this is a Google Product.. they will like it.. sure, they will at least try it out for some time.

Windows 7 is coming soon, and I have seen good feedback about it, so far .. ( beta release ).  Its better than Vista, and they are correcting their mistakes. But, interesting thing is, Windows 7 looks almost similar to KDE 4, ( latest release ) which is a Linux desktop environment. 

With netbooks getting popular, Linux is taking another step forward, because  they make netbooks even cheaper, and flexible. 

Universities, Schools and even government departments are moving towards Linux, and there is a lot happening in the open source community ….   and something like this too .

Okay, that’s about something I’ve been reading about for the past few weeks…  and you will see more posts about them here ..  let me know if you would like to taste some open source software blogging

This is WAR !!!

Who said you can’t make good wordpress themes or web designs with simple colors ( and without images ? ) If someone told you so, let them visit this blog.

Colors used : Light Sky Blue, and Black. Yes, thats it !!! Images ? Only their logo and a simple one for twitter.. and there you go … a new design !! Good job Amy Mahon !!!

Another beautiful thing about this design is the font used for post titles. It looks really good. Anyone know the css code for it ? just curious … ( yea yea, just curious I say, you tell me the code, and the next day you will see the font here lol )

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.
