Blog and News

There comes a time in every website's life when she realizes that she is too large to exist the way she has. She then needs to restructure herself and feel in better shape. All the flab needs to be shed and all the curves accentuated to make her look good. I think this is happening to www.trekhimachal.com. Ha, what a joke! I know anyone who reads this is going to laugh out loud. Too big? That website which has barely had double digit visitors in the last 6 months?

Well, yeah, like it or not, it is happening to Trek Himachal. Her lover after long procrastination and then a long discussion with his brother realized that she actually is a little out of shape. It will be a painful process. There wont be any VLCC thinning classes. Just plain good diet and lots of exercise.

As part of this restructring, all travelogues on the site will slowly shift to a blog created on the site. There will also be other content about trekking and Himachal which has been lying in the wastelands of my right brain. Very creatively, the blog was called 'The Trek Himachal Blog' till I realized I could possibly not feed such tripe to my readers. It is being renamed as I write this and I dont know what will it be called. That notwithstanding, its available on the top menu of the site and will get updated quite frequently. It can also be accessed at http://www.trekhimachal.com/newsite/blog and an RSS feed is available. Meanwhile, ofcourse The Confused will keep Wandering here and the sun will keep setting elsewhere.

This is the time to prove yourself. If you really are followers of this blog, prove it by following the yet-to-be-named blog as well.

And yes, any views you have about the site, please feel free to post. I know the maps are shit, I am already working on that. Ta and Ciao till we talk next.

  2. Good move dude to make it a real "blog" ... I was going to recommend you the same thing. The earlier/current site was painful to navigate, I could not subscribe to any RSS on that, and I think it was hard to comment too on many of your posts.

    I will definitely keep a watch for yet-to-be-named-blog.

  3. Another thing which I always wanted to recommend is you should really keep one blog, probably use TAG or something similar to categorize the posts, thatz it. Especially because all the blogs (i feel) are more or less are of same/similar genre.

    If one of your blog was about travelling, and another was about C++ coding then it was a different case.

    Just my two cents, even I had multiple blogs when I started, but I felt it is not worth it.

    Lastly since you "own" it, so totally upto you how you want it :)

    take care!
