  1. The master speaks πŸ™‚

    Well looks like you’ve said it all, I’ve got nothing more to add πŸ™‚ … But I do believe keeping your blog up-to-date, dynamic, colourful and eye-catching are as important as the content.. std marketing techniques πŸ™‚

  2. Nice tips. But i’ve always felt that there’s one thing that’s gonna get you popularity and that’s to love what you write. Make the reader feel what you’re writing with good language. That’s enough!

  3. @ Hari:
