cool template and it's not cluttered either. way to go with that. the blog is also well organized. i had trouble loading the image in that Chennai blog post. these kind of problems may be disadvantageous and might lead to decrease in the number of visitors.  please look into that.

i also used to be on and off on my blog, and from my experience i ask you to keep blogging something every once in a while and not to abandon your blog. that way, you will not lose any readers who want to frequent your blog.

Thanks for the encouragement Vee,  i shall surely  look into the matter you suggested and see what might have caused problem in loading the pic.  And with increase in  blogging frequency i am finding that the readers are at least dropping at the blog once a while ... that's alone is great for me, for the time being.  

Do visit again,

Rajiv

As I told you, I did the exact same thing like you. I would blog for some days and then take a break. and this happened for more than 2 years. very recently I realized the good practises of blogging and started being regular. I hope my experience helps you.

interesting name, Bubbles of my psyche.. floating around :) I rarely came across the blogs named using the word Psyche. My blog is Psyche's visage, and I was told the same about the name of my blog.

Perfect picture you have that goes along with the blog's template. And I read your posts on getting drunk, debatable doubts and a few recent ones. Would love to read more. keep writing!

I started blogging sometime in 2008. The reason I wanted a blog of my own was that my mind is always full of random thoughts about situations, personalities, events, music, sports, politics etc that engender strong feelings in me and a craving to put them into words. I maintain my own diary but that is something which cannot be shared with everybody. So, the blog was the best way out for me to share my thoughts with others. At the same time, I have always had an innate passion for writing, which I can pursue through my blog. I haven't had as much traffic as I would have liked, but the fact is, I cannot change my style or content just for traffic. I feel satisfied enough with the expression of my feelings about certain things and if others (however few) feel the same way, I am filled with a great sense of fulfillment. That, to me, is of greater value than attracting readers through frivolous write-ups.

Vee

Well, that is how I maintain my blog too. I write about anything and everything I feel like writing. People have often complained about not having a specific theme in my blog, but I still keep it as a medium to share things very dear to me irrespective of the theme they belong to. And regarding the traffic, even I feel the same. But I don't want to change.

hi i started blogging sometime in 2006 when it was still novel in India.....mainly I wanted to express my love for sports, automobiles and travelling, adnt htis was a wonderful way to reach out a wider audience......also cause my dream profession has always been a sports journo (well if I cannot be the sportstar myself :P)but i only seriously got into it lately with my own domain etc and hope to capture the attention of a few regulars.....as to the name, well that has been changing with time.....it was "read, drive, express" then "my travels with the beautiful game" and now "alekh in wonderland" just maybe echoing my state of mindlastly my blog is accessible at  http://www.alekh.co.in  ....please have a look and leave a comment if you like it (or even if you don't like something, negative feedback also helps me improve)

hey, that is exactly when I started blogging too. I didn't have much exposure then and I was on and off blogging. But now I am kind of regular and update my blog with whatever content I want to. You have got a neat website, divided into various sections very clearly. Just like the way you have documented your entire road trip, you might have realized that it will definitely help lots of people in providing information required. I have written some posts on my road travel some time back when I was in India and I often get hits from people looking for relevant information. Very neat!

Hi Everyone,

Merry Christmas to you all :) !

I started my blog , last year , though I had created in 2008 , one of my friend insisted me to write , may be they like my thoughts and sujjested ..I should write. I made a blogwalk ..and found some amazing blogger , But to write the 1st maiden post ..its took me 1year more to do so , as I never concentrated over it as , I was not into this writing stuff at all , it was a distant thing that happened by accident. Before i used t write over dairies , whatever i feel , but maintaining them was a big issue.

So later in 2009 , I started my Journey of blogging and thereafter I get associated with Indiblogger , but was not so frequent in posting  post over here a well over my blogs.

But now I love blogging ..it has become a part of my life. I write over things thats happens around me , and the feelings and emotions and nature to which I find very close.

My blog Name is "Friend's Kitchen" .. http://rise-of-the-pheonix.blogspot.com/

have a look to get more insight of it.

 

Thanks @ Restless for the stating this thread  :)

 

With Love

Vivek

A little more than 3 month ago, did I step into the blogging world.

The name is zradar. http://zradar.wordpress.com

'Z' is for Zaira and that would be me :-) So the blog is actually my radar. The blog is mostly personal with bits and pieces of my life clinging on to the screen and a few of those social causes from my own experience. 

The blog was started to pay a tribute to my loving husband, who is currently at Dubai. His birthday was nearing and I had no clue how to gift him and thus evolved the blog, http://zradar.wordpress.com/2010/10/11/. You should have a look. This is my personal favorite too...

Well i started blogging in 2006...have been doing this on and off for the past 4 years now..the latest blog that i have started is called mumbojumbo :) ..this is more cause i write on a lot of random topics..generally prefer the lighter vein...not many serious posts...would like to try my hand at poetry...mostly observations from my day to day life and a few works of fiction.

Dear restless-mind-with-a-sensitive-heart,

That was an interesting and tempting thread you have started. Thanks for that, at the outset.

Well, here is my story dear bloggers.

My first blog was dead, almost immediately after it was started. Courtesy: I forgot the URL!!. I didnt endeavour to retrieve it.

Regeneration: After a long hiatus, I created another one and named it JUST CHEWING OVER (www.just-chewing-over.blogspot.com), meaning 'thinking about'. Ironically, during the initial days, I found it very difficult to 'think about' ideas for blogging when I originally started my blog in 2006. Shamelessly, I agree, that my first post was a synopsis of a news column about something that related to my career area - about a hedgefund collapse (btw career area is hedgefunds mgmt, not collapsing them!) It was an original piece of idea / thought from me I posted back then.

I quite frequently suffered from writer's block. Adding to the misery is the paucity of time. Therefore ended up in blogging very infrequently. However, in due course, I became a member of mouthshut.com where my movie and book reviews received good responses and feedback from fellow members. A good lot - about 25 members - gave feedback and supported me very well. That was sort of a push which encouraged me to write further. One fine day, I also gave my life's anecdotes (ie auto-biography excerpts!) a shot (with my post A Date with a traffic police (http://just-chewing-over.blogspot.com/2007/04/tryst-with-traffic-police.html) which not only did I post it on my blog, but also made a pdf and forwarded it to my friends. Received decent responses, given my inexperience at writing. For the first time my lazy friends read what I wrote and emailed me their appreciations. That was the point of inflection. I went deeper down into the world of blogging and started reading other veteran bloggers. What an amazing lot of bloggers we have around, far better than those crappy book writers. Learnt a lot from these veteran bloggers, which I still keep reading. Their attitude, creativity and humour - swept me over by feet. I'm not a book reader, hardly ten, to be honest. Till date, I enjoy reading blogs to the point that I print out their web pages to read during my office-home commute and at home sometimes (while succumbing to my wife's furious looks and frowns at me) Nevertheless, I do agree, books are always a better source for improving self.

So far, I have about 30 posts on my blog which I wrote in a span of 4 years. Not a great number, I shamelessly agree. However, I surely expect to increase the frequency in due course.

That's the story dear friends.

Before I conclude, let me request you please dont treat this as a promotional trick; no i didn't cut a fast one here. I request you, when you get a chance, do visit my blog and provide your feedback to my posts - this way I would know which genre of writing suits me better. Let us please network together, read each others' and improve ourselves. This is all I have to say before I sign off.

Enjoy blogging! And a very Happy new year!

Regards,

Victor Guerra

(never wanted to disclose my real name, so I always chose to write with a pseudonym. While wondering what to choose, it struck me to translate my original Indian name into Spanish - the result was Victor Guerra. That's my pseudo I always blog with)

Thanks Victor! and it was fun to hear from u and all the new bloggers in this thread :)

As usual, u r very honest... that's ur strength!

Keep blogging, u have blogging pals here!

Hello! I have been blogging for some time now but mostly had restricted my viewership.

To IndiBloggers I am new and like the lady said testing waters. Mostly I am interested in cooking.

I started my blog to grasp & pen down  the few things that I learnt from my mum and MIL before they expired. 

I called my blog as mad scientists kitchen because that is what my daughters call me .

Hello everyone! :)

Writing is to me what ink is to a pen! It is the core of my being. I express myself through words and love doing so. My blog is titled 'Crushed Paper' because I never got over the romance of writing on a piece of paper! I still write...strike out a couple of lines...hit upon something new...crush it up....and start all over again! 

Drop in at  http://lazythinktank.blogspot.com and do let me know what you think :)

Here's to a Happy year ahead!

Nethra Ram :)

P.S: thank you 'a restless mind with a sensitive heart' for the ambience!

Not new to blogging. My current blog, which is about a year old, is a more serious attempt at getting somewhere close to a presentable blog. It just humor from my mundane life.
