About switching to a wordpress blog... I'm still weighing my options. I'm right now working on my portfolio. So, when it's ready I might migrate to a better place.<BR/><BR/>And Hakuna Matata! I still remember the vector art of your blog that was indeed very catchy stuff!<BR/><BR/>I'm really glad to have received such great suggestions from all you people. Keep commenting...It inspires me and others as well!grafic7https://www.blogger.com/profile/06155144497380757453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910767856807568189.post-17326031277854647312007-11-01T14:31:00.000+05:302007-11-01T14:31:00.000+05:30I'm with Ritwik.It'd really help if you switch to ...I'm with Ritwik.<BR/><BR/>It'd really help if you switch to a blog that hosted on your own server, as opposed to on the Blogger network.<BR/><BR/>I'm a graphic designer, and I have a self-hosted WordPress blog. It helps my business a huge amount.<BR/><BR/>As for flashy, I think it's so much more important to have a site / blog that's easy to navigate, and easy to read, than flashy. Providing your site is well structured, your portfolio can add the design aspect. After all, that's what you're judged upon (although a poor site design certainly won't help).<BR/><BR/>All the best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910767856807568189.post-83735951879485500332007-10-31T17:24:00.000+05:302007-10-31T17:24:00.000+05:30hey not necessarily flashy, atleast something to c...hey not necessarily flashy, atleast something to catch the attention?Jil Jil Ramamanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13155289939576524389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910767856807568189.post-55956836304120446602007-10-27T14:55:00.000+05:302007-10-27T14:55:00.000+05:30Something extra! can you please tell what more cou...Something extra! can you please tell what more could i include into this blog to make it more interesting. <BR/><BR/>I have been thinking over it for a couple of weeks. And now I have a new header and footer done. I'm going to put them over here shortly. Not a radical new design but something that I liked. You know it's very difficult to design for oneself. Ironic it may be but it's true!<BR/><BR/>So I earnestly look forward to creative suggestions from all my readers.grafic7https://www.blogger.com/profile/06155144497380757453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910767856807568189.post-9731824763512038542007-10-27T09:12:00.000+05:302007-10-27T09:12:00.000+05:30Well a graphic designer does not need to essential...Well a graphic designer does not need to essentially have a flashy website.<BR/><BR/>However a graphic designer should certainly have a blog or site that reflects the person's taste in designing..<BR/><BR/>Its natural that people expect a graphic designer to bring in something 'extra' to the website..<BR/><BR/>Dont u think so?DesiSpin Author(s)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05962690220140048006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910767856807568189.post-91237069799378059472007-10-22T20:33:00.000+05:302007-10-22T20:33:00.000+05:30I'd agree to that usability part of your comment r...I'd agree to that usability part of your comment ritwik. I came to understand that advantage of wordpress too late...Yet i'm too lazy to shift to a new blog. <BR/>I've been mulling over that...

Blogger simply doesn't allow you enough room!<BR/><BR/>If you can, then please switch to a premium wordpress blog, it's almost as good as having your own website!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
