To raise the gross happiness index of IndiBloggers : The bloggers word building

The IndiBlogger forum is now a read-only archive. Every public discussion is still here to read, but new topics and replies are closed.

The last word can be found here on Page 2 and not on Page 1

With a hope to increase the gross happiness index of IndiBloggers,

The most important thing in one's life is to be happy and one need not go on a world tour or hire a professional to crack jokes that makes us laugh. It is sufficient that one engages in an activity that brings us some relief. And here is something for my dear friends at IndiBlogger: The word building game. Just a few rules on the words that you can post: Post only those words that come under one of the following categories

- Words related to blogging

- Names of the cobloggers here. Insert a link to their profiles if possible

- Names of blogs of IndiMembers

- Important events at IndiBlogger (lighthearted ones and not those that flame up a discussion)

If possible try not to repeat words that are already in the word chain.

And another thing: Rather than simply posting the word, write something about it. If there is something that you would like to say about a word say it in a subreply. The main replies should form a continuous chain of words otherwise some newcomer may comment that we do not have the talent of identifying the last letter of a word.

You can post one new word each day and not more than that. However you can comment on others words as a sub reply.

Make sure that you come and play this game every day. Read the line above.

Here I start with the first reply below

Ethical Blogging : Blogging that follows certain ethics that include but are not limited to providing quality posts to your readers, not lowering the dignity of another individual, not resorting to unlawful means to gain raeders or traffic. (I don't know if the definition is correct)

True:)

Animated GIF's: Those that were a trend till a few years ago but not anymore. They just are an infatuation for new bloggers.

[It is not my view. Read it somewhere]

Arti

Arti

Ho ho ho! Arti thank you so much! I feel as happy as a well-fed cow chewing the cud of praises heaped upon him!!! Cool And you're right. that post was a part of my Crusade Against Indiblogger Procrastination.

@Ranjith: :D Come on! Give it a try! It really works!

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

@ The Xeno I have tried to deposit the said money in swiss bank Smilebut the reciptionist told that there exists no such account with that number. later I realised that you had put so many x's in it.

Mohonish 'Xeno' Chakraborty
from Kolkata |

@Ranjith: Oh! I know I know I've received many such complaints. Don't worry! All she wants is a small tip. Give her about... um... 1bn dollars and she'll be happy to accept your payment!

Oh yeah I know! Its tough to hack Indiblogger isn't it? Now you've to give bribes to bank receptionists! Phew!

Arti
from Mumbai |

Never heard of him before... Loved his recent post the Tourist... A wonderful vision...
Is he your relative, you both share the same surname if I am not mistaken, just asking...

Mohonish 'Xeno' Chakraborty
from Kolkata |

@Arti: Yeah we do share the same name (surprised that you remember! :o ) but no we're definitely not relatives. :D

I like his perspective.. the way he sees things is quite unique.

Arti
from Mumbai |

Hehe, Ya I do have ok memory:):)
His blog was definitely worth a read! Thanks for sharing:)

e diary: That was the original purpose of blogging

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

(y) indi blogger: That is what a person so much addicted to the Telugu language would call IndiBlogger as.

Ignore the above word. e was the last letter of the blog. Just got confused.

Animesh
from Mumbai |

which one to consider Ranjith? e diary or (y) indi blogger?

abhin@v
from mumbai |

@animesh , the rulebook says you cannot play more than once in a day . So, i think we can continue from 'e diary ' Laughing

Arti
from Mumbai |

Good one @abhiLaughing 

My Take : Take the letter which suits you, Your choiceWink

Ranjith

Never thought that there could be so much confusion Smile

Splog - Spam Blog. We all hate them. It is sad that a word had to be coined for them.

Be a Roman when you are in Rome. Similarly, be a spammer when you are on a Splog. Go ahead and attack the comments area.

SIDEBAR -
The sidebar of the blog should not be too cluttered and have important widgets like email subscription, google search, google translate, archives, labels, about me...

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

Well said. A cluttered sidebar irriates a lot of users as it takes time to load and the users cannot find what they are actually looking for.

Mohonish 'Xeno' Chakraborty
from Kolkata |

+1 Exactly. And the sidebar width shouldn't be too large. It shouldn't take up more than 30% of the screen or I feel that it is enroaching on reading/writing space. A blog is not made of its sidebar, it is made of its written content.

RSS - or Really Simple Syndication.

How did that thing get its name, the simple word?

TrackBackA system that allows a blogger to see who has seen the original post and has written another entry concerning it. The system works by sending a 'ping' between the blogs, and therefore providing the alert.

Interesting!

Originality : I think it helps the reader when they come across a blog that is refreshinginly original...i guess this also stands against the ongoing trend of hijacking others content.

( am i doing this right? I kinda speed read the rules, so i mite be making a complete fool of myself rite now...sorry if iam.)
