Ladies and gentlemen,

I would like to announce a new milestone for my blog ‘Lumuhuku’.

Lumuhuku has crossed 10,000 visitors today.

Hi,

It seems that for some time now, I might not be able to post on my blog. And yes I may be completely wrong as well (i.e. I might be back tomorrow also)… Reason(s)?? 

There are many. And I assure you…they are all boring. So why should I spread the boredom?

But the good news (atleast for me) is, this is just a leave, so I’ll be unavailable only for a while. That is to say that this is just a pause and not the end. A comma and not a fullstop in a sentence.

So in my absence you can read some of my interesting posts like -

[Emotional & Personal Ramblings...]

Love?

I am still waiting for you – A Poem originally titled “Sad Heart Utters Beautiful & Hopeful Intentions!!!”

12:22 Story of a very close friend – Presently my most commented post

You know you are in love when…

[Fun...]

Now this was one functionality that I desperately wanted. So if you are a blogger, who uses the great Windows Live Writer, you will be surprised as well as happy to know that you can use Windows Live Writer as a portable USB application!! That means that you don’t need to install it on each and every computer you use to post. Just plug the USB and play (oops…blog!!) This tools does actually make Windows Live Writer portable!

You will first need to install Windows Live Writer to obtain all of the program files. And if you don’t use this software for blogging, I can bet that you are missing something really cool.

So, after you’ve installed Windows Live Writer, download WLWPortable3.zip and extract the contents to your USB drive.  Finally, copy all of the files and directories from C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Writer to the WindowsLiveWriterPortable\App\WindowsLiveWriter directory on your USB drive.  

To run Windows Live Writer Portable, just launch WindowsLiveWriterPortable.exe from your portable drive.

Whew…another milestone for Lumuhuku. Lumuhuku crossed

5000

visitors today. And if I remember correctly, it took about 3 months (technically 85 days) for this stat to become a reality. Just to mention it as a matter of fact, it took Lumuhuku under 15 days to reach the first 1000.

Mathematically, at 1000 – Lumuhuku had about 66 visitors a day

& at 5000 – Lumuhuku has around 58 visitors a day

Seems a slump….but so what?? My level of enjoyment kept on rising with each post.

And I must confess that there have been times when I didn’t knew what to write about. You can read what I did in the post What should a blogger do when he has nothing else to do. I would like to share a bit of history about Lumuhuku here; before coming to WordPress, I was using one shit of a service by Google called Blogger. I will recommend not using it.

So what next???

Of course, more traffic…

Cheers to Lumuhuku

Now this might have happened to you. Atleast it does happen to me and that too very frequently. So what should, or rather what can a blogger do when he is not posting stuff on his blog?

Scratch your head.
Believe me, this sometimes works wonders. It seems that when you scratch your head, the brain juices start flowing and bingo! you have an idea to better spend your time. And it feels pretty good too. And if you get bored of scratching your own head, try scratching the nearest guy’s head.

Watch TV and think about your blog being declared the ‘Best National Blog’.
Amen.

Call a random telephone number and tell the unknown person about the advantages of reading your blog.
OMG!!

Try explaining to your dog about your blog.
And if your dog seems to be getting drowsy, just think about your readers…

Post a comment on other’s blog that their blog is showing PORN in header images
Isn’t it interesting and wicked??

Go and sleep.
Nobody is going to die if you don’t write.

Let your blog go to hell (for a while).
Even you won’t die if you don’t write.

DISCLAIMER: Hey, did you take me seriously?? A lot of these suggestions are really dumb, so don’t take them seriously!!
