Day 20/I bought a new domain

How is that for total geekiness?  And I am going to go ahead and call it my birthday present.I went ahead and bought asaaan.com. Not only did I stay up till 2a/m trying to figure out how to upload my 625 posts from WP to my own domain , I also figured out how to set up forwarding from asaaan.wordpress.com to asaaan.com.  Because you know I  dont want to lose a single reader.

I bought the domain mapping for one year. I guess after one year, I will make  my WP blog private. I now need to figure out how to ads and start racking in the moolah.

I also like being admin. Nice ring to it.. Do you like this theme? I like it because it has 5 rotating header pictures but the sizing makes it really distorted.

Expect a few more changes to come through during the next few days.

    hey the header pic of avasha is gorgeous !!!!!! btw did the girls at styleperdiem delete their blog ??? it says so :(

    Me: ET moved to http://styleperdiem.com/.

  15. Happy B’day Ms.Admin! Being an admin makes you feel all powerful, right? :)

    I like all the pics in the header, esp the your first born. This is one of her prettiest pics. Though I have to admit, when I saw the colored pic (of bottles?) I was like, “she photographed c0Nd0M$”? :)

    Me:The first born is in the beret. The one whose face is illuminated is 2nd born. Dude get mys kids right. You flithy mind. They are colored bottles at the musuem we went to. CONDOMS…ahahaha

  16. Rads says:

    Hey, Good for you S!! Way to go.. I looove the new headers :)

    Happy Birthday!

  17. Guddi says:

    Hey,
    love the domain.. especially the search feature..i went directly to the Trolls. O u r so special.. getting ur own trolls and such. man!! the only ones i got were adverts for viag. and cial. :) ) BTW, happy B-day! I hope this is not the only gift.. self bought is never a gift. expect more, expect more…

    Me:I know right, my trolls were crazy. There was one especially crazy one who had her own blog and was nice to other authors but mean to me. And then I comapred her ip add and caught her red-handed :)

  18. Guddi says:

    O, BTW.. this is Yo..dont know why it randomly picks between yo and guddi…

    Me: And it sent you to SPAM. The horror of it.

  19. Sujatha says:

    Happy Birthday to you !!! And I loved the outfit you wore when you went out with other moms!

  20. Congrats on getting your own site ! You ARE a powerful lady :)
    I hope you got a good deal on the site :)

    The pictures… especially the one illuminating Avasha’s lovely face is superb… those photography class techniques are surely showing :)

    Me: We went to a museum and they had a dark room filled with lights and different colored plastic things that they placed over the lights to throw colors. Because of the class, I knew to crank up my ISO to 500 and lower my shutter speed and when I was doing those changes I thought to myself, oh wow, a few months ago I wouldnt even know wtf is ISO :) I need to go back there with my tripod and shoot pictures, I had quite a few blurry ones because of my hand shake. The class is ending this week. We have a night shoot on Tues and then the final printing class on Thursday.. I might take sign up for the advanced one. Oh maybe a language class. Since NK owes me so much, he cannot complain.

  21. V says:

    Congratulations S!

    I am back to reading ur blog :) was on a month long vacation. Photographs are simply amazing.

  22. Silvara says:

    Oooh! Very nice – am loving the new domain.

    And woman, you continue to rock the outfits you wear so don’t let no trolls bring you down (all said complete with Oh-no-you-didn’t finger movements :P ).

    Happy Birthday in advance – you’ll have a wonderful weekend :D

  23. T says:

    Congrats on the domain bought, Happy Birthday, and rocking plan of checking into hotel suite. Have a rocking birthday, Sraikh.

    Not to start an argument, but, I totally disagree with Guddi’s comment that “self bought is never a gift. expect more, expect more…”…you have the knack of showing yourself a great time on your birthday, regardless of anyone/anything else and thats all there should be to it. Nothing beats that kind of independence!

    Me: Oh I am very much in favour of that. I love doing stuff for myself, birthday or not. Though its nice when something unexpected happens and completely surprises you

  24. Poppy says:

    Oh congrats! So this is how you went an edited the sidebar etc :) Cool! I like this look !

  25. You are so far ahead of me at this. Still struggling to get SPD on its feet.

    Me: hey let me know if you want help with something?

  26. Perakath says:

    Hey wow! I was catching up on your posts and hadn’t realised the new domain name… am super impressed with the forwarding! Usually when someone shifts you have to change your Reader settings yourself…

    I did notice the new theme; think it’s very nice! My only gripe is that now you’re off WP.com, my comments won’t show up in the My Comments part of my dashboard, so I won’t be able to see your replies easily. And there’s no option to be emailed follow-up comments, either…
