Customizing Viewing Ads
Since I’ve been fiddling around at the backend of this blog in midst of revamping the look, I managed to clean up my plugins directory. Although WordPress by itself is a robust blogging engine,the availability of plugins helps enhance the experience and extend its capabilities.

Change in Theme Design
After resisting for more than a year, I finally gave in and changed my theme last night. The previous one had served me well and I persisted with it primarily due to several customizations I had made. But it was getting too clunky and boring.

Content Aggregation – The Channel [V] way
Blogging is hard work; no wonder almost 90% of the blogs that are created never go beyond the ‘Hello World’ post and 99% of the blogs aren’t updated more than once a month. Yet those 1-10% of blogs still number in the millions giving rise to popularity of content aggregation or meta-filtering like Digg, Reditt, [...]

Blogospheric Debates and Free Speech Arguments on Art Censorship
While bemoaning the lack of civil discourse in comments all over the generic blogosphere, I find that the quality of debate and discussion on the desi blogosphere is somewhat better. Probably the size and multitudes of connections amongst prominent bloggers are responsible. You are less likely to slander a blogger if he or she knows [...]

Map of the Blogosphere
I first came across this image in Discover Magazine [click to enlarge]. The blogosphere has been attempted to be mapped several times but tying it to geographic boundaries often belies its global roots.
