Ajay - On the Road called Life

A PR update was in the works and I guess it has happened. And unfortunately it seems like this blog PR has dropped and dropped straight down to zero from a PR of 5.
I’m totally clueless how this has happened and am hoping this is only a transition.
Or will I have to wait for another [...]

My plugin Open Picture Window just crossed 1000 downloads.
I also crossed 20000 downloads on this site. Of these more than 25% are due to my theme while 15% of these have been due to the Snap Preview Anywhere Plugin.
Thanks for all the users who have been downloading and using the themes and plugins so actively.
And [...]

The Snap Blog today listed a selection of 100 sites using Snap Preview AnywhereTM and am pleased to say that this blog has found a place in that list.
In the top 100 out of 29k+ sites is definitely great
And if you are running WordPress check out the Snap Preview Anywhere Plugin.

Had been meaning to change the entire look for this blog on the January 1st, but well, better late than never!
I’ve changed the template of this blog with a new look from scratch. The old template has been there for well over a year (with modifications), and a change was needed.

The old header needed to go, and after a good deal of searching I finalized on an [...]

Following Thilak’s results, I installed Peter’s Custom Anti-Spam Image Plugin for Wordpress to test.
I’m much against the idea of using Captcha for my blog, because of the problems with accessibility. However, of late I have been getting a lot of spam.
Even though Bad Behavior has blocked 10000+ access attempts in the last seven days, a [...]

Seems like I seem to be boasting about my blog the past few days. Well, I have reason to
I wrote about being No. 2 on Sitescore about two weeks back.
Since then I hovered around 2-4. Today I was genuinely shocked and extremely delighted to see ajaydsouza.com at No. 1!
As usual, saved a screenshot for [...]

Since the release of my two plugins in the past two days, my site has seen a good traffic surge. Unforunately, neither of these have been dugg or redditted so far so it’s not that much.
It was sufficient to get me a great rank on Alexa for today, viz. 16,752. This is the second highest [...]
