It has been a week since I put up my thirty by thirty list, and already I have had some early wins.
I’m now writing for both DesiPundit and Global Voices, something I wouldn’t even have dreamed of a few months back. This gives me an unique opportunity to showcase upcoming desi blogs to both desi (via DesiPundit) and global (via Global Voices) readers and I’m hoping that, by promoting good desi blogs, I’ll play a small part in the growth of desi blogging itself.
I’m also trying to help other (desi) bloggers through my blogging tips for beginners - Novice Blogger - series. As you know, I’m not an expert on blogs or blogging. I still struggle with the simplest of code, I still make basic blogging mistakes, and my blog is not even moderately popular in terms of most metrics like number of feed subscribers, number of back-links, or number of comments. However, every single day, I’m trying out new things, both at the front-end and at the back-end, making mistakes and learning from my mistakes. I share my mistakes, and my learnings, in the hope that some of it will be useful to other bloggers, especially beginners. So, go ahead, read my Novice Blogger series, subscribe to my Novice Blogger feed, or bookmark my Novice Blogger resource page, and if you have more questions, feel free to contact me by e-mail or via my contact form. I cannot promise that I’ll always be prompt, or useful, but I’ll try.
