Everything Seems To Be New

This is new year and this is my first blog at blogs.rediff.com too … So please clap for me. .. ;)

When I joined rediffiland three years ago, I joined because it was very simple to handle … I mean, everything was clear … We had ‘Add a Post’ … We had smileys too … Wondered where they have disappeared .. :( … I’ll have to see whether I can copy and paste them from my older blogs … That’s what I used to do till now … But that trying will be done later … Posting a comment in someone’s blog or GB was so easy … We never had to type any code to post comments on anybody’s blogs. 

One fine day, everything changed … I don’t think that change was for the better … positivelyyours.rediffiland suddenly changed to blogs.rediff.com/positivelyyours/ … People may consider me to be a good teacher but let me make it very clear that I am a very slow learner.

That means I’ll take ages to learn the new settings  … It’s as if I have been pushed in to a swimming pool … What’s the big deal, did you say? … Well, I don’t know how to swim … I guess most of the ilanders feel the same … Er, now can we use the term ‘ilander’ anymore when iland itself has wound up? … I am utterly confused .. :P

Anyway, let’s forget all the confusions and worries and celebrate coz today’s January 1st, 2010 … I wish all my friends a very happy New Year … May God bless you with peace, joy and good health all through the year .. :)

    Hi Jissy. I was pretty disappointed too. Now I feel a little more familiar with this new space. The urge to write however doesn’t seem to be that urgent though. The makeover sure poured a lot of icy cold water on our enthusiasm. It will be a while before we get going again, I feel. Glad to read you again, Jissy.
