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.

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 fan” button in the Facebook widget just below this post.

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 are currently at about 450, 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 share it with all your friends.
2. Make at least one long detailed post a week
I did start out on this with full force, however, I never ended up keeping to this due to my day job.
However, this blog has been regularly updated by my authors.
3. Find at least two other writers for this blog
This is one goal that I have fulfilled. We currently have five authors and guest posters on this website besides myself.
They have brought variety in their content and have ensured that you always have something excellent to read!
4. Increase Ad Revenue from this blog
This has improved to a small extent, but I am looking for suggestions on this.
5. Increase the number of visitors via Delicious, Digg, StumbleUpon and other social bookmarking sites
We get a chunk of this traffic from StumbleUpon for some of our older posts. I haven’t been very successful in actively promoting the posts. But, I guess it is time 
6. Increase pageviews to at least 5000 a day
Well, we’re currently way way way below that. Pageviews stand at about 750 a day.
I’m going to set the same targets for 2010. I’m also considering a new template. Any suggestions?

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 share it with all your friends.
2. Make at least one long detailed post a week
I did start out on this with full force, however, I never ended up keeping to this due to my day job.
However, this blog has been regularly updated by my authors.
3. Find at least two other writers for this blog
This is one goal that I have fulfilled. We currently have three authors on this website besides myself, viz. Umar, Nikhil and Sparx.
They have brought variety in their content and have ensured that you always have something excellent to read!
4. Increase Ad Revenue from this blog
This has improved to a small extent, but I am looking for suggestions on this.
5. Increase the number of visitors via Delicious, Digg, StumbleUpon and other social bookmarking sites

6. Increase pageviews to at least 5000 a day
Well, we’re currently way way way below that. I have managed to triple page views since the first post. However, we still have a long way to go to reach 5000.
Do you love this site? Do you like our articles? Please help promote this blog to everyone. Let’s together make this an highly successful community.

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 few other plans including redesigning the sidebar which isn’t the most pleasing to look at. I’m strongly inclined towards a single column sidebar along the lines of the Recent Posts portion you see out there.
As usual, I’m open to any kind of feedback to improve this blog and increase the popularity, get more feed readers etc. Also, how would you like to follow the new Techtites Twitter account?
