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.

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…
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…
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…
So, you’ve got your blog listed with a major search engine and you’ve also got enough content to warrant a search box on your blog. Cool. Now how about giving your readers the ability to search thru your site via the Firefox Search box (shortcut CTRL+K). Here’s how: We’re going to make use of the Mycroft Project: The Mycroft Project provides a collection of Sherlock & OpenSearch Search Engine Plugins (17032 at the last count) for your web browser. Sherlock is supported by Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla SeaMonkey and other browsers based on the Mozilla core. OpenSearch is supported by …
I’ve been making a few updates to this blog. You would have seen the social bookmarking buttons at the bottom of each post. Please use them to add the post to StumbleUpon, Reddit, Digg or Delicious if you like the post. I have also add the WP-PostRatings plugin for WordPress. You can now rate the posts on a scale of 1 to 5. I’ll soon be displayed the most rated posts in the sidebar. This will allow you to be more interactive with our blog and provide your feedback for me and our authors. Another plugin added to this blog…
With the new design, I decided to revive our community at MyBlogLog. Currently there are 70 members who are part of the community. I’ve added the widget at the bottom of each page of this blog. Are you a member of MyBlogLog? If so you can signup by clicking the Join this Community link in the widget at the bottom. I added Google Friend Connect to this blog a month back, but didn’t really get down to publicizing it much. Now, you can find the necessary widget at the bottom of each page, adjacent to the MyBlogLog one. If you…
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…
A Happy New Year to you and your family. The last year has been one active year for Techtites and my life online in general, considering that I wasn’t able to dedicate much time the year before.

Firstly, let me begin by wishing you and your family a Happy New Year 2009! Those of you viewing this in a feedreader may not have seen the developments of the site. Over the past two days I’ve been working on the new theme that will power this blog for a while. The last two years have seen three themes. I first selected GreyWorld which was a CSS template by Free CSS Templates, which I ported to WordPress and modified for this blog. I used this theme for nearly two years before switching to a highly modified version of Amazing…
