@praka
You always change my name, but i don't mind it

 

[gary4gar]

Changed the theme to a more techie & professional looking

 

[MetalheadGautham]

hmmmm they then good.
no problems.

but blogger platform as is not really powerful as wordpress.

but later after the domain and redirect everything is settled you can shift to wordpress.

completely WRONG comparison. Blogger is a FREE service on the internet, and the BEST free blogging software there is. WordPress is free only in wordpress.com, which is waaaay too featureless compared to Blogger. The thing you must be comparing is paid wordpress, where you need to BUY hosting, BUY a domain name, etc.

There is NO way you can compare the two. One is a free limited service, the other is a service you must run YOURSELF. Obviously wordpress is better, but all this comes at a cost (pun intended).

The theme definitely looks a LOT better.

 

[gary4gar]

wonder why images are not aligning properly after theme change

anyone?

 

[MetalheadGautham]

Where did you get your theme ? I am finding it HELL to look for new themes.

And I am glad to see that you used my search idea for making categories

@Gary
usr align="center" in image tag

lol...but theme is certainly better

I got my theme from *www.eblogtemplates.com/passion-duo-blue-blogger/

And I am glad to see that you used my search idea for making categories

buddy, what was your idea?
i have now clue now, what i am doing

@Gary
usr align="center" in image tag

what should i use to fix it?

 

[Faun]

go to html view while editing

then
search for tags starting with img
e.g
<img src="*somethin.om/pic.jpg">

just add a align="center"
e.g
<img src="*somethin.om/pic.jpg" align="center">

other values of align can be "right" or "left"

see if that helps

Who said we need to buy only? There are lots of free web hosts and they can do nicely for moderate traffic. And domain name is a totally different thing, it doesn't matter in the comparision.

i tried, Still no change
here is image code for this post

<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="*bp2.blogger.com/_wMAC6frBFdw/SFGwHOlLlEI/AAAAAAAAAFs/qY-Va1iYOIQ/s1600-h/orkut_logo.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="*bp2.blogger.com/_wMAC6frBFdw/SFGwHOlLlEI/AAAAAAAAAFs/qY-Va1iYOIQ/s320/orkut_logo.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211139882063991874" border="0" /></a>

this problem happens only with images uploaded on blogger, rest render properly:S

But then they are highly unreliable, so after some time you have to shift to paid hosting
but wordpress and blogger have almost zero downtimes, for free

use a offline blog editor to do all the formatting WYSIWYG. 2 editor that i liked were WLW and Post2Blog - use WLW. ie assumin u got windows in sum partition

does blogger /wp got any limit in content size?
congrats gaury

no limit on text/bandwidth. bu if you uploading pics to blogger, it will automatically link it to picasaweb meaning 500 images limit

WLW[plugin]/Post2Blog allow uploading to Flickr = unlimited pics [almost]

 

[gary4gar]

any Linux versions?
i don't wanna boot into windows just for writing a blog post

 

[mehulved]

drivel - *www.dropline.net/drivel

Also, Kblogger and blogtk

 

[slugger]

4 linux u cud try Bleezer, BloGTK, Gnome Blog, Thingamablog

 

[mehulved]

Seems drivel works best with the new Atom API but it has problems with images. BloGTK does nice work there but it doesn't have support for the new Atom API, you have to make do with old Blogger 1 API which will be deprecated soon.

I am also thinking of getting a domain, please suggest
will get a .com domain only. and please suggest where to get them?
which one looks easy to remember

gssays - gs(stands for my name) says
gaurishsharma - my full name
WHOISGAURISH - who is gaurish
gaurishsays - gaurish says
jaipurboy - jaipur boy

suggestions welcome

 

[Faun]

^^let it be lesser than 6 digits

 

[gary4gar]

now confused between......
gssays.com or gaurishsharma.com

which one is better?,

If buying from godaddy a good idea, i need full control over domain name?
its giving me quote of $7.05
i would be paying via CC, so currency conversion charges would also apply.

any idea how it would?
