Its been quite a lotta time, since I last visited my own blog. I was opening it only when I got a mail saying, hey you a got a new comment. But these were all spam, filling up my mailbox each day. Finally I thought, I should get rid of all this mess. Finally got the courage and configured akismet- a spam filter for wordpress ( the tool on which my blog works ) .
My site looked old and bland. see right…———————————–>>>>>
Indeed an overhaul was required, thus I fetched a new copy of wordpress.. 2.51(current version), and put it on. Now the first thing to be done was to get hold of all the old posts (though very less in number). Here google serve
d as a saviour and I got hold of a plugin called ‘wp-migrate‘, which let me export all the posts along with comments. Using this feature, I could have migrated to a drupal or joomla or any tool for that matter. But I have left that for the next time.
Damn it took me 2 days to fix this new thing, which should ideally take 5 minutes, it gets messy (just when u open an editor to tweak with html or php). You wouldnt know when time flies. I have used this theme called Leia named after the princess from star wars. Here’s wat u get upon searching, (although u might find more of bikini clad women).
Thereafter it was another task to widgetize this theme, to put thigs which u see on your right…. The outcome seems beautifull.
I also designed the much missing favicon for the website, seems impressive now.. loolz.
