Chai ki Dukaan on its new platform…

/

/

Has been doing reasonably well in the last few weeks!!! Here are a few observations wrt moving from blogger to wordpress!

Rajasthan Drive - Part 3-9

  • WordPress as a platform gives blogging a little more professional feeling than blogger… Feels a bit more mature in terms of how services are delivered via wordpress including the themes, plugins, widgets etc.
  • Addition of a lot of fancy plugins slowed down the website to an irritating extent, however have tried to sort that out by understanding more about “under the hood” stuff! Also I am using Cloudflare services to make the website faster
  • WordPress gives better control over management of media (used photographs so far only though) and has much better ways to present them (using various plugins)
  • I have really liked the way I can now arrange my posts in categories and tags now, and also work on displaying them accordingly. Menus are a welcome change for me too. Browsing to content of interest is now way much easier.
  • I am not too sure about how SEO works, however the plugin that I am using for SEO seems to be doing its job alright!
  • WP integration with other social media platforms also seems to be a much tighter in comparison with blogger(mostly thanks to the third party plugins though)
  • The website, in my opinion, looks more clean and neat! Though I have heard the exact opposite from a few friends 🙂
  • Most importantly, I am liking the exploration of wordpress so far, and have been more actively adding content to Chai ki Dukaan!
  • Blogger was definitely lighter to use, and quicker to load! Changing of colors and tweaking a theme was easier on blogger, and never felt the need to know code there… here I feel that with learning some code, I can do better!
  • I move away from Google, where a single signon was working nice.. with wordpress, I have to move away from Single Signon
  • And I missed this one when I wrote the post initially… When I imported the content from Blogger to WordPress, though it was a simple process, it took me a number of attempts before I could import everything! That meant that I was partially successful with the import, deleted whatever was imported, and tried it again, and followed the same cycle a few times before I had everything… and when it all finished, I still did not have the comment contents, only the comment writers and number of comments for each post! too bad!

More later, as I explore more…

NO PARKING for long…

Leaving a few memories behind…

Of watching movies alone..

Of being sad..

Of Being happy…

Of dancing on Himesh Bhai’s Songs..

Of getting up and hoping for an SMS to be there on my phone..

Of opening the eyes and searching for the keys in the dark…

Of having backaches and not being able to tell it to anyone..

Of spending many moments looking at my camera and the lenses and they looking at me 🙂

Of spending days without speaking a word…

Of being patient and being impatient…

Of making friends, and losing them…

Of expecting more, and expecting nothing…

Of being a kid and an adult at the same time..

Of smiles that came to my face for nothing, and smiles that went away for nothing…

Of buying my first plant and not taking care of it…

Of working out for two days…

Of messing up the disgusting Malaysian noodles… thank God for that 😛

Of loving the aam ka achaar with chillies the most…

Of enjoying the Motichoor ke Laddoos thousands of kilometres away from home…

Of being ME most of them time !!!

I leave this room today.. which was my home for the last 3 months…

The gypsy moves…

Have a blessed weekend everyone !!!
