What is a Blog??

August 12, 2008 · Filed Under Blogs · 6 Comments 

Two years back, I wanted to share my ideas and views with rest of the world. I found that having a web site will help me to interact with the world. I’m not competent enough in English so I just wanna start my site in Tamil.

As I began to explore more about setting up a web site, I found that setting up a web site and maintaining a web site needs much more technical knowledge. I almost given up and one day I come across http://www.blogger.com.

I started my Tamil Blog over their and leaned about blogs. According to Wikipedia

A blog (a contraction of the term “Web log”) is a Web site, usually maintained by an individual,[citation needed] with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

In my simple words I’ll say, Blog is a simple and effective platform which will help you to set-up your website within minutes. Also it’ll maintain articles or posts in chronicle order.

If you wanna set up a free blog, then you can make your account in blogger.com or wordpress.com. Both of those sites have their own pros and cons.

Once you master in blogging platform you can buy your own domain as I did and can install a famous blogging platform such as WordPress.

Enjoy blogging and share your dreams with rest of the world.

Upgrading to WordPress 2.5.1

April 26, 2008 · Filed Under Tutorials, WordPress · 4 Comments 

WordPress announced about their new WordPress version 2.5.1 release. Finally I manage to upgrade the WordPress manually for the first time. I followed the tips given by Ravi, as I was lazy enough to follow WordPress’s detail upgrading guide.

  • First download the latest version
  • Extract it
  • Delete the WP-Content folder
  • upload it to your WordPress blog directory
  • Run WordPress Upgrade at http://yourblog.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php

that’s it, it worked like magic.

WARNING:
When uploading the contents of the downloaded WordPress files, make sure you upload the contents but not the renamed directory. If you rename your directory to the blog’s directory name in the server it’ll over write important files such as config.php.

Got no problem in upgrading. Thanks Mr. WordPress, you’re the best~!

Blogger SUCKS! WP Rocks!!

May 4, 2007 · Filed Under Blogs, WordPress · 7 Comments 

For last six months, I was using blogger and finally found that it sucks! As the result, I have moved to new domain (http://eblog.mayuonline.com) and installed Wordpress.

Now only I realized the potential of the Wordpress. We have hell lot of control over wordpress, but not over blogger. We have to use what blogger has given to us. If you take themes.. Whoa!! Whoa!! Search in google and see how many beautiful themes you can find for wordpress.!!

There are some linespacing problem occures in Wordpress when we use Tamil script and Firefox together, but it can also be solved by doing some edits in CSS. Actually it’s not the problem of Wordpress but the problem of Microsoft Windows. (Again windows SUCKS!)

If you are still struggling with blogger.. It’s time for you to switch to wordpress!!!

If you are wondering how to import your old blogger post to new wordpress site, then do a googling and you’ll get an answer.. Actually you have to open an account in wordpress.com and then you can import your blogger post to your wordpress.com site.

If you have installed and using wordpress in your own domain, then download the posts from wordpress.com and upload it to your new domain!!!

Happy blogging!

With love,
Mayu.
