Past four days, I have been doing some changes to the blog that should have caused some web outages of my blog. I am sorry, if you are one of those who caught in the mid. But the sad to note, is that I have revert back all the changes that i made to blog, as I was dissatisfied with my changes.

Anyways, Blogs, the new medium of sharing, consumes more time (kills time) and in addion to that, it needs to be arranged in a proper order. Few days back, I have posted a video on my Edinburgh trip made by Chirag, soon more videos were yet to be released, under the category “video series”, I have to ensure that the size of the video is less, so that many can view it without any problems. For Now make sure you have..

Lorelle on Wordpress, is one of the best wordpress blog series, where Lorelle presents the loads of information on wordpress and blogging in general . Her writing style was simply awesome and it marks an unique signature in art of writing. Though I dont have any interest in implementing those ideas and blog tips, unknowingly some of it finds it way towards implementation here in this blogs. (inspiration. huh?)

Anyways, Lets go to the story, Two days back, I come across this tip on wordpress by, Lorelle’s working ahead - Future Posts with Wordpress. i.e., Write Today, Post Tommorrow.. Worpress provides an option to edit the timestamp of the post. Using which one can edit the Timestamp of the post to some future date. Wordpress, would release the post to the readers, only after the chosen date and time.

To publish a blog at a future date, just set the timestamp to some future date. Wordpress does the rest of the job.

Edit Time Stamp Feature has been with wordpress for more than a year. But at first sight, Many wont find its real purpose. Lorelle has explained it very well in her blog. I am sure, that this tip holds good for blogspot users too.

Cool then.. Watch out for Extraordinary & Creative blogs Here.. at Regular Intervals.. (they were all lined up 4 u)

I was thinking about this topic for almost thirty minutes. The actual topic is , “enna ezhuthuvathu?” in Tamil. I couldnt make the exact english translation for this silly topic. My closest matches were “what can I write” or “what I have to write” or “what needs to be written” or “What do I Write?”. I would be happy If you can help me solve this riddle.

This topic used to appear in my mind. But I left it open, so that some day, I would write about it. But this idea was blown, when I read “Arunachalathin Aluval” by Kalki Krishnamurthy. Only after reading the story, I realised the absurdity of this topic, though it was one of the most famous topic for years.

Interestingly, I went thru web statistics of my site for the last month to find that just two visitors had visited my blog. My Special Thanks to them. I hope this rate have to go in the upward trend in future. I am quiet puzzled with spam comments, I have got more than 1000 comments, but it is not appearing in web statistics.

Anyway, the very purpose why I dropped the blog is to say that I have updated the version ofwordpress theme, i3Theme from 1.2 to 1.4, unlike the earlier updates, this time I have got two reasons to update

1. i3theme 1.2 fails to load on ie7 while 1.4 supports it.
2. i3theme 1.2 doesnt show tags applied for a post while 1.4 show tags at the bottom of the post(see below).
