Time to move ...
It has been around 10 days since i posted my last post and it was primarily due to my migrating to Wordpress. I have successfully installed WP in my site and this will be my last post from blogger.
P.S. It might take a day or two for the nameservers to reflect changes as i had redirected all the requests to my new blog to this blogger account. So even if you are getting this same page on clicking the above URL, plz try again after a day or so :)
After a brief speculation which lasted for around 4 days, I've finally purchased a domain name. At this point, I would like to thank Amit and Madman for helping me out with some 'domain name registrar' queries that I had put forth to them.
For now, I've redirected all requests to my current blogger account. If you have subscribed to my site's feed using a feed aggregator, there would be no point in updating the changed domain name in that as the site, as such, doesn’t have any content. However, if you have bookmarked my site, please make a note of the new domain name :)
I plan to migrate to WordPress within a short while (short as in 2 weeks or more ;) once I purchase a suitable hosting plan.
If you are like the typical blogger who checks an average of 15 feeds every day, then I would recommend Sage, a RSS and Atom feed aggregator. (RSS aggregators are applications which enable you to read RSS feeds and are configured to periodically check for new items in the feeds you are subscribed to.)
I initially tried bloglines and though it was good, I was looking out for a better one without having to log in every time I had to check if someone had blogged recently. That’s when I heard about Sage. It is one of the simplest newsreaders around and configuring it is a breeze once you install it from http://sage.mozdev.org
After installation, you have to click on 'discover feeds' once you have the sage sidebar in view. If the current site you are browsing has a feed, then it will be added to your list of feeds and from then on, you'll just have to click 'check feeds' to check if the page has been updated.
The only catch is that you will have to install FireFox to use Sage. If you are one who uses Internet Explorer, I suggest you give FireFox a try and who knows you might not go back to IE just like I did :)
