WordPress 2.7 has been released and after downloading and upgrading it, I am in love with it, again. The interface has been given a complete overhaul and it is pure elegance as well as much more functional than the old versions.

‘The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice’ – George Eliot.

If the above quote is to be believed, I obviously was in trouble; of ‘NOT’ growing.

It’s not that I didn’t have the choices, but it was just that I was weighing them constantly without making up my mind on the ultimate selection.

• Movie and music reviews.
• Programming tutorials, tips and techniques (C and .NET framework).
• Technology (One can find countless topics to write about in this one).  (more…)

After reading this post, I thought to myself that not only is this post real educative, but also, it is like a valuable contribution, a fun and cool way of giving the world something that others can benefit from, like Open Source.

• I had to start a blog myself; ‘Ain’t no stopping me now!’.
• I believed myself to be technically sound enough to host my own blog (although WordPress makes the job a piece of cake!).
• WordPress was the obvious reason because of its usability, dynamics and */read text between brackets of point two/* (for the fear of sounding repetitive).
• Hosting is real cheap these days.   (more…)
