Thank God! It’s Back Now!

Thank God! My personal blog, The Radiant Star, is back online.

Ask a blogger what is his biggest problem running a blog. His answer, almost surely, will be that it’s hard to find the time and issue to blog on. Ask a blogger, without a blog for some reason, what he misses. The answer will surely be the power of expressing oneself on various experiences.

Ditto to me. On August 2006, I was in Malaysia for official work and I proudly put a picture of myself posing in front of the famous twin-tower in Kuala Lumpur despite very busy time there. After two weeks there, when I returned and looked into the blog, it was filled with 3,000 spam comments. Looking for an easier way to delete those, I tried various methods for about a month during which the number went up to nearly 9,000 (forgetful I am, I didn’t turn off the commenting).

And then I messed up with something that my site would be shut to myself. I tried changing the server but it didn’t work until a week ago. A week ago, I tested WordPress 2.1 and got my personal blog back (it was the happiest surprise for me). Akismet, the spam comment killer, found out 5,000 spam comments and others I deleted manually and now the blog is back.

What I missed most from August 2006 to January 2007? Surely, the ability to write on various issues. I had NepaliVoices for writing about blogs but its confined to blogs and blogging thus social issues or other experience were forgotten, sadly.

For a blogger, a blog becomes a diary and when it’s lost, the feeling is painful. During all these time, I cursed myself for not keeping the hardcopy of the diary of my Everest Basecamp Trek and also not keeping the local copy of many articles I thought I wrote nicely. But now everything is back and I am ready to go again.

At The Radiant Star now on, I will be making a few changes. I won’t blog anything about media, blogging or journalism because there is NepaliVoices for it. I will write on my personal feelings, commentary on social and political, yes sometimes political too, issues.

Welcome to new edition of The Radiant Star and I hope that all of my friends will enjoy reading my feelings.
