Surprise Surprise - V2.0...
V1.0
~~~~
Well folks, how does the blog look???
I've tried one of my fav color combos - orange and grey!!! Guess it is pretty okay - let me know.

I've also searched around and added the blogs of all the blog members. I've skipped a few, coz i think those guys aren't bloggin at all. Some of these blogs have merely one single post - but some i know are gonna post more and to the others, I'm saying "post more" :)

I've organized the "Our Personal Blogs" section in alphabetical order. So, by virtue of having a name beginning with one of the earlier alphabets (and coz few others who might have gone above me aren't blogging), my blog goes on top of the list. I wanted to do the same for the "Contributors" section - but it seems a bit of pain though. Will try to see if anything is possible, or will have to hard code it i guess. Scripting gurus out there, lemme know if there is a way...

I know this is not gonna impress everyone out there. So, shoot ur comments and criticisms. Will work on them for sure. I'm also thinking of some more sections - they'll keep poppin up in the days to come.

V2.0
~~~~
  1. The pics on top changed to something subtle. Hehhe - i made these pix myself :) how does it look?!?!
  2. The color combo has been changed to something that (i think) is easy on the eyes. Also considered Karthik's plea to allow him to cheat on his company. This is the normal thing we ever do :)
  3. Dont remember what else i did :(
  4. Expecting Comments V2.0 :)

    Nice to see some change. But, since our blog now carries a different color wrt other sites (MSDN, google, codeproject, etc), I am not able to open this blog and browse freely during office hours !!

    @kart
    i had plans to move the color combo of my blog to here and use this in my blgo coz i like this :) But then pradip wasnt impressed with the colors in my blog. So i thought i'd use these colors here. sorry abt ur bad luck :(

    Make it soft on eyes Idaya. Something like our nexus site Kandan made. Not the animation but the colors. But the text be a bit darker not as it was previously.

    @sunil - do u mean to say this isnt soft on the eyes?!?! u know i wont come close to kandan - neither in animations nor in web design :(
    will work on this some more - all ur suggestions included :)

     
  • At 10:13 PM, Blogger Sunil said…

    @Iday - u won't come close to kandan? What happened to never give up idayathullah? I can't believe hearing a 'can't' from you! You have such a positive mind frame that even this comment will make you secretly proud. ;D C'mon man don't change your colors.

    @Prad - Mea Culpa! I didn't realize you were 'impressed' by the colors :)

    remove sunil's blog from the personal blog list. it doesn't deserve to be there.

     
  • At 11:00 PM, Blogger Iday said…

    @sunil - proud i was :)
    i dint plan to change the colors per se. was thinking whether i can make the contrast a bit subdued, whatever that means :)
    Hmm... optimism is good - but there are times when we shud say NO to things machi. Saying no is difficult for me i accept, but i'm learning.

    @prad - what do u mean "except for the blog title bitmap". I only get the point that it is wrong. what is wrong??? I dont wanna get a new pic to see u have the same effect :) if u say what's wrong, i'll correct it.

     
  • At 11:02 PM, Blogger Iday said…

    @ram - the blogs of sunil, karthik and saravanan are there coz i think they fall into the second category i mentioned in my post. i think they are good writers and by placig links to their blogs in the team blog i am saying "Hey guys - post some more!!!".

    So yeah - i cannot say the message in a more clearer way. U 3 there - save my ass. start bloggin more...

     
  • At 11:20 PM, Blogger Sunil said…

    @Iday - The blog was just a temporary thing I created to see how big my story fits in blogspot pages and just to have Ram's opinion if it would suit on our blog. I'm not actually blogging in it.

    @Ram I hope that was the reason you asked it to be removed :D

    @Iday: Nanba...Thanks for categorizing me and Sunil as good writers... we all know how good we (Sunil and Kart) both are !! :-)

    @Ram: Mama... if there is one blog that doesn't deserve it's place even in bloggers.com, that's urs da... daily soga (sorry...success) kathaya dairy-la yezhuti vai da...atha vittutu... paru... 2 days yezhuthinae...3 rd day?! :-) FYI, I had a bet with Sunil that you would stop writing the third day... Thanks for living upto my expectations?!! (too big a word).
    Nan sonnaenrathukaga...ippa velaya vittutu type adikathae da...

    [Ram...I take u for granted that u are light hearted.]

    @Sunil: I just checked few internet sites da... the most visited porn site has the same template da.... so u can be sure that our blog will have more hits bcoz of this change!! :-)

    @Prad My cousin used this yesterday da. I acted as knowing the meaning and hurried to find its meaning after he left. Later discovered this word is in Da Vinci Code also. Sari peter viduvomnu dhan ;)

     
  • At 1:36 AM, Blogger Iday said…

    @sunil - isn't "peter" only supposed to mean usage of ENGLISH ;)
    perhaps we shud change the slang to "prad" i.e. use of words from any foreign language for the purpose of style-utting will be referred to as "pradding" or "prad utting" as per the conveneince of the "pradder" ;)

    if this conveys the wrong meaning that pradip uses these words for style utting - i dont endorse that view.
    this is just my effort in popularising pradip, jus like ram is keen on popularising kicha ;)

    yeah yeah - header will be changed and color scheme also will be changed. infact, even i dont like it now :(
    i tried giving it a retro look and ended up with this :( perhaps retro is not my forte :)
    will go for a more professional look - watchout on Monday morning :)

    Kart - originally blog was meant for diary writing da. it evolved to the current day situation. call me purist who stick with the basic meaning of whatever it is.
    soga story or success story, the verdict is 2 months away.

    prad is still continuing to push his own pronunciation. Remember his kabul just like DD news reader shobana used to pronounce kashmir.
    When we were discussing football (thank god it is not his forte), he said kaka scored the first goal. nothing wrong in it other than the irritating pronunciation. while the lesser mortals like me say kaka just like you say the name of the bird. he is adamant with kaka which denotes "two bathroom" in children's language.

     
  • At 4:50 AM, Blogger Iday said…

    Prad is right w.r.t. to pronouncing Kaka's name...
    btw - did u guys get to see his goal in brazil's opening match. It was really good.

     
  • At 5:31 AM, Blogger Ramkumar said…

    expected comment. prad lost his earring donned in the left ear.

     
  • At 5:44 AM, Blogger Iday said…

    Sexy was gerrard's goal y'day. More so for Fring's goal in the opening Germany Vs Croatia match - but i'd call that HOT!!!
    Man you know what Kaka and Brazil are capable of - it was a game which they played in first gear at best. Watch out for the next games when the mid field gets moving, when they chuck the big ronaldo out, when ronaldinho settles in and then we'll know how good brazil is. when all this happens - Kaka will be allowed to attack a bit more and there will be more of these zoomers. u'll know how good Kaka is. compared to some of the goals he scored for ACM, this is only averagish :)

    btw - this world cup might just throw some of the wonderful long distance goals coz the adidas ball seems to be not so "goal keeper friendly". Seems to be doing a lot more in air and that's why ppl are taking their shots from even around 40 yards.

     
  • At 5:50 AM, Blogger Iday said…

    @prad - i can make a wonderful comment out of ur comment, that'd befit the ear ring comment made by Ram. but i'd rather not :)

     
  • At 1:03 AM, Blogger Sunil said…

    Good One man! Simple the appeal is great!!!

     
  • At 10:24 PM, Blogger kart said…

    The blog looks professional da...Good work.

     
  • At 11:34 PM, Blogger Iday said…

    Nice to hear that it has the desired effect :) I wanted it to look simple and professional, guess it appears so.

    Ram had this opinon that the title for each post makes it too contrasting - i guess that's true. But there are 2 things which are stopping me from working on it:
    1. I guess the contrast settings @ my home are not the best. That cud be the reason.
    2. I dont wanna change a working setup :)

    But, the never insatiable me, i'm sure i'll try to play around with this very soon :)
