Hello world!
August 8th, 2006 at 10:40 am by ashok in GeneralHello, world. Yet another blog in the world of internet. I created my first website in year 2000, it was a hosted on free host with free subdomain. Although the site is still alive but I rarely visit it and I don’t know whether it attract any visitors or not. No email id mentioned on that site work. At that time I was not aware of anything called blog.
Blogging has gain termondous popularity since last 2 years, I was also thinking of starting a blog since last 4-5 months. Around 10 days ago I decided that I should start a blog now. But there were few questions which has to be answered.
1) What will be topic of the articles which I will post in my blog
2) Name of the domain where I will host my blog.
3) Which blogging software to be used.
Regarding topic. I recently has started doing affiliate marketing so I thought I will post my experience with affiliate marketing here.
Regarding Domain: I took maximum time deciding in domain name for my blog. I first decided to register ashsense.com which was inspired from Jensense Blog. I was almost going to book this domain, but later I dropped the idea of using this name. Next I decided on yourash.com which was also dropped. I thought about some more like yourashok.com, hiashok.com, byashok.com, ashokhere.com. Finally I decided on helloashok.com and booked this domain.
Regarding blogging software : I also researched my which blogging software to use, no doubt wordpress was famous, but I decided to reasearch before zeroing on one. I started a thread on digit and get good suggestions from Sykora and drgrudge. This article on Sitepoint was also useful on deciding which blog software should I use. I considered three software Movable Type, wordpress and Serendipity. I dropped the Idea of Movable Type because It was devloped in pearl. Between wordpress and serendipity I finally zeroed on wordpress as it is more popular more number of plugins and themes are available, better support community is available for wordpress and also it is one of the fastest growing blogging software.
I hope this blog will also help to improve my writing capability. I took too much time to write this article.
