BlogAdda – an Indian blog showcase (directory) is giving away 100 free memberships to the Premium WordPress Themes Club of WPDesigner.
Normally, a one year membership of the club costs you $5, for which you get access to 12 premium themes (1 every month). As long as the offer from BlogAdda stands, you can get this for free. No sign-ups with BlogAdda are required. Simply read this post at the BlogAdda Blog, and leave a comment there stating your name & email correctly and include a link to the most popular post on your own blog.
They’ll get back to you in a day or two with a promotional code which you can use at the WPDesigner site to alleviate the charges for the first year.
Alternatively, you can follow BlogAdda on Twitter to claim your free membership.
I had left a comment there yesterday and by today noon I had my promotional code delivered to me. Last I checked, they have around 48 comments on that post (including comments from those who’re following BlogAdda on Twitter). If you hurry, you may still be accommodate in the last 50….
Finally got around to doing something that has been pending for ages… i.e. give the site it’s own look & feel.
There are plenty of good WordPress themes around – but almost all are overused. I needed something fresh and unique (if possible). I had contacted a few designers but their starting prices ranged $300 to $400 – something that I would rather spend on getting…

A quick note to everyone… I’m coming up with a leaner and meaner theme for Chaos Laboratory. I’m almost done. Should be able to unleash it in a day …or two, at the most. Learnt a hell lot in the process – both CSS and WordPress Theme design wise – not to mention, bending some popular plug-ins to work the way I want.
My own plug-ins…

While I was away on my sabbatical (read coping with the all-new fatherhood), I occasionally managed to catch a glimpse of the latest action dramas unfolding on the net – primarily because the WordPress dashboard made it a point to present them to me on a daily basis. One of them caught my fancy and I decided to take a deeper look. The topic was…

Just today I performed an upgrade to the brand new WordPress 2.3.
Problem #1
The upgrade went without a hitch but the moment I refreshed my site I got this long error message that went like…
WordPress database error: [Table 'wordpress.wp_post2cat' doesn't exist]

I recently purchased Managed DNS service from my web-host (ComputingHost) as a result of which I no longer have to depend upon their tech support to cater to my DNS record modification needs. Consequently, I decided to switch to the FeedBurner Pro domain based feed service. Domain based feed service means you can customise the FeedBurner to handle your feeds straight under your domains URL…

FeedBurner Email Subscriptions are a great way to spread your blog’s content far & wide – by sending your post feeds directly to the inbox of your subscribers. It’s a particularly viable option for the subscribers who don’t want to get into the hassle of firing up their feed reader every day. Quite a few of my regular subscribers utilise this method.
I’ve always kept a…

Just as I was writing off the congratulatory note to all the Indian netizens on the 60th year of independence (yesterday), a thoroughly inspired Allan Fernandes was putting the final touches to his WordPress India Logo – which he later gifted to the entire Automattic team (the brains behind WordPress).
Great piece of work Allan !!
