I have been reading a number of posts on ‘what blogging is like‘ for bloggers.

For some bloggers, [...]

Ajith Prasad — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 17:48:29 +0000

Well, the topic of discussion today is whether students should become bloggers or consider blogging as their primary career option.

Now, this is a tricky one! I have seen a lot of posts on the blogosphere regarding this topic and most of them suggested that that many pro-bloggers actually pick a particular time to post their new content. Why?

Are you a BlogTrotter?

Ajith Prasad — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 17:37:19 +0000

This is a little survey post. I had part of this post in my drafts for quite a while and at the time of saving this draft I even proudly believed that I coined the term ‘blogtrotter‘ – arrived at flipping ‘globetrotter‘ a little – myself. However, a dig on Google today, I got to [...]

About blog comments

Ajith Prasad — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 13:06:11 +0000

I have a couple more posts to be published in the ‘SEO – Link Building series‘.

Ajith Prasad — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 08:12:46 +0000

It is a fact that majority of the bloggers spent most of their valuable time on activities unrelated to publishing! Online publishing activities ideally should be restricted to content editing, proof reading, publishing, moderating and conversing with the readers. But the reality is that platform upgrades, ranks tracking, publicizing, commenting elsewhere etc consume a lot [...]

Describe your blog in ONE word here!

Ajith Prasad — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 17:40:31 +0000

Today I have been relatively free as I did not have too many comments to moderate or reply. The main reason for the lower number of comments has been the reduction in traffic for the past two days. I reckoned that the long festive weekend in India was causing the problem, as around 50% of [...]
