Happy New Year! We’ve got a new look to bring in 2013

AllTuts WordPress Theme

Firstly, let me wish all the readers of Techtites a Happy New Year! 2012 has been a great year for the blog. I’ve made a conscious effort to find the time to make a few regular posts. Simultaneously, our guest blogging programme has received a good amount of attention and we currently have over 20 bloggers who have made guest posts. Techtites has also migrated from Feedblitz to Feedburner. I have still kept the Feedburner feed active, since there are still many subscribers to that feed. If you’ve haven’t resubscribed, do add http://techtites.com/feed/ to your favourite feed reader. We’ve been…

Techtites is moving to FeedBlitz from Feedburner

Techtites has moved to feedblitz

About a week back I noticed that the stats for all my feeds at Google’s Feedburner had turned to zero. Google acknowledged the issue a few days back. There has been a lot of speculation about the future of Feedburner with Google losing the Feedburner.jp domain as well as the discontinuing of the API and their Twitter account. Although Google has not come out publicly about what their plans are for Feedburner, I’ve decided to move away from Feedburner. I surveyed a few of the options available and decided that  was the best alternative. They have a detailed guide that…

Downloads fixed

I noticed a few days back the downloads from this site weren’t working. Finally got down to tracking down an old backup and restoring the necessary files. The downloads section of the website should now be fixed. There are 7 downloads out there, which I am sure you love. These together have seen more than 2,300 downloads over the past 18 months.

Become a fan on Facebook

If you are reading this post in your feedreader, click here to visit the blog. I have refreshed the color scheme of this blog. While it is still being powered by the same theme, I chose to go in for a shade of maroon instead of the traditional black. Thanks to Rishi who has been after me for quite a while to make this change. I have also “claimed” a username for the Techtites page on Facebook and if you haven’t already become a fan on Facebook, I urge you to do so. You can easily click the “Become a…

Happy New Year 2010 and our goals for 2010

Just a small post to wish all my loyal readers a Happy New Year 2010! 2009 has been a good year for this blog. While, I may not have succeeded in making any of the targets that I set for 2009, I’m happy that given the limited time that I was able to give to the development of this blog, it has definitely become more popular. This has been thanks to the hard work of our authors and guest posters. In August, I reviewed some of our goals. Here’s how we stand today. 1. Average at least 1000 subscribers We…

How are we doing on our Goals?

Long long back, at the beginning of the year I decided to set some goals for this blog. I decided it is time to take stock of these goals and see how I have progressed. Unfortunately, I haven’t been very successful in fulfilling the goals! I had set out with six goals in total as follows: 1. Average at least 1000 subscribers We are currently at about 400, which means I am far away from my goal. If you are reading this post in the browser, then please subscribe to the blog feed. Additionally, remember to join the Facebook Fan page and…

New Downloads Section on Techtites

Over the last few years at Techtites, we’ve covered several posts on Excel as well as tiny utilities that made life simple. These have remained in the posts and well, not everyone drops into every post! So, I finally decided to dedicate a separate section on this blog to all these home grown files along with a link to the corresponding post. I give you the Techtites Downloads. You’ll find the link in the menu at the top. Currently, there are only six downloads. But, over time I plan on adding several more for your use. I also have a…

Goals for 2009

The first half of 2008 was a dead period for the blog. With me tied up with MBA activities, I simply didn’t have time and the blog got neglected. I decided to work on reviving the blog and post August has seen a steady flow of posts. However, in spite of two years of running, Techtites is still nowhere I envisioned it to be. So, better late than never, I’ve decided to set some goals for 2009. 1. Average at least 1000 subscribers When I started the year I had about 200 subscribers to the feed. However, after moving the…
