    Akismet woes continue ……. :(

    My fight with comment spam is getting into climax ( i hope so ). Akismet has again blocked my id. But this time i think I have found out the reason, which surely is my office PC. Since many are blocked in my PC, I use proxy websites and softwares to browse blocked websites, and I think that has done a trick with akismet. So, if you not seeing me commenting on your blog, its because I am waiting to get things settled with akismet. I hope it happen fast.

    Thanks to tech jaws

    Yeah it was through Nathan of tech jaws, through which I got a little idea that the cause of akismet catching my comments could be due to my office PC. At office when I visited his blog, I landed on a page which displayed some terms and conditions for automated bots like spam bots etc. I got a bit confused and quickly searched google for the blog and tried to get through the referral url of google, but again I landed in the same static page. Mailing Nathan gave me an idea that quite possible its because of the ip address assigned due to proxy server on my PC.

    Free 3 Ad spot on tech jaws

    After taking part in an Iphone contest by Lara Sadd, here is another chance to win a free premium 300×250 ad space on tech jaws, which appear on every post in rotation with other two, for a month. All you need to do is subscribe , comment and post about the competition. I made many guys create a 125×125 ad button for their blog ( including me ;-) ) , and now its a chance to get your 300×250 premium ad ready. Winning these kind of competition can really be inspiring. So guys go for it :) .

    Thanks Kanak, but I doubt if my site (non blogging and corporate website) would be meaningful in occupying that place. So you can better pass the position to the next person. I feel, it might not be useful for your readers. Anyway, if you think its all rules, I am sending my ad by email.

    Thanks for your greets.

Moreover, your site is coming up in the top list of my blog list which I read daily. Now its in the 2nd position in a list of 13 blogs. I like the techie posts you do. Thanks for the link again.

    @roffi , would love to see you more, and all the best ;)

    @techbliss
    thanks a lot for your words and congratulations to you too. I am still waiting for your add .. :) . Akismet is creating problem for me else I love commenting and expressing my views over blogs. Struggling hard against my fight over akismet.

    @smackall Many thanks for your insiring words. While creating the theme, I tried to take utmost care of user navigation as I faced many problems while navigating in other blogs. Am very glad that you are enjoying your stay at tecfre.com. :)

    Getting commenters is harder than getting readers, and I am lucky to have both in terms of you guys. thanks a lot for being my valuable readers and commenters.
