What’s the fuss about Naughty Ning?

by Sujoy on January 6, 2008

naughty ning

It seems to me now that Tech News is in desperate need of something on the lines of tabloids or the P3 Glitterati; of course Porn being one of its Paris Hiltons. No one can doubt about the online traffic and revenue that porn generates, especially because of its paid nature and ahem! because of its nature as well. Until well, Ning.com came up with the new in-thing-sub-domain parking of the porn kind, and well,shockingly, the entire web world stood up and took notice, like it never had been done before. In some way or the other, sub-domain hosting of pornography has always existed, well since Blogger or even WordPress days. Would love to know the statistics, as this is is going to be much larger than Ning’s. [Continue Reading]

To Do List for Setting Up your Blog

by Sujoy on January 4, 2008

just blog it The journey from being a Hello World page to the Page you see now hasn’t been quite smooth, thanks to me being unprepared, and of course being spoilt by the drag n drop of Blogger Template. So to not repeat the same mistake, here I have prepared a To-Do List to make your Blog as beautiful as mine (if you consider it to be). As in “How to go for the default page to having a fully functional Blog page”. I presume you have your domain, you’ve hosted it and got your WordPress already installed properly. In short you can see the default Hello World page on your Homepage with the Blue Header (Read the WordPress official installation page if you at all are having problems knowing how to do so, or just type your question on that blank space known as the Google Search ). Let’s take it from here then, shall we?

To-Do List for Setting Up your Blog (From Hello World to Wassup World).:-

Being unprepared is not at all an option if you want your Blog to succeed. Success here means traffic, people visiting your Blog regularly, Subscribing to your feeds, may be clicking your ads even, but above all reading your posts and commenting on them. So you do not want your blog to look like a shabby, crumpled, torn newspaper column. I have literally read almost a 100 “How To”s over the last few days, to have come up with this list . Here we go!

  1. Selecting the Right Theme:-

Unless you are a CSS wizard, this one comes directly from the huge repository of free WordPress templates available online. I chose a suitable theme from wpthemesfree.com and there is just more than one to fit your need.All you need is to look around, sit,decide and finalise on the theme and of course make your own changes to fit your purpose. Important points to be noted are whether you need a two column or a three column theme, what should be the entire theme color, and most importantly the text font size. All these small things go a long way in enhancing the user experience. Template editing is of course possible, with the usual trial and error procedure. [Continue Reading]

Techkeyla–Hot in 2007

by Sujoy on January 3, 2008

hot techkeyla2007 has been a year like never before for the world of Technology and Internet, abuzz with so much to talk about, so much to debate upon, so many doubts to be clarified and so many rumors and speculations made. I was lucky enough to cover a few of these topics and hot news on my previous blog. In my three odd months of blogging for Techkeyla so far, I wrote on topics ranging from Facebook’s “is” in status message being (not) removed to Google’s Opensocial Project to Mixx to Tech rumors floating around to even some random lists generated by my alter-ego. Surprisingly enough, people dug them and even replied to me with their comments. Based on the number of comments, MyBlogLog’s record of visits for each topic, here I have compiled a top 10 list (yeah, yet another one) of the Hot Posts of Techkeyla for 2007. So, here they are:-
