I have updated my about page with a photo and soon enough plan on starting a gallery on my blog with loads of photos for people to enjoy them .

Yes , I will have to work a little bit on my WP theme ( it’s actually a K2 theme ) , because what makes it unique it’s that it comes plugin ready , adsense ready , and optimized for a blazing fast loading .
I don’t have anything to comment about the archives thing because you are correct .

Cheers and all the best ,
you’ve got yourself a new reader Nirmal

@Cristian,
As I was away I could not check your comments.
1. I feel that photo is a must for every blogger to have an identity. I’ll soon write a post on it.
2. Regarding the archives, why I suggested is because when your blog grows old, these archives will occupy lot of space in the sidebar. So its always better to move it to a page, with more detailed archives.
Regarding the top commentators, its true that initially you will get comments like that, but still they are also important and as ReviewSaurus has said, it depends on the blogger how he can attract comments. Good that you have installed it.

I waiting for your WP theme, looks good.
Glad that you like my blog.

You are correct ReviewSaurus That is why I decided to give the Top Commentators plugin a go . You can now see it in action on my blog .

Regards .

Great! you’ve given such a wonderful review. It seems that Cristian has got some valid points but then again, it is important to have comments no matter that they are coming in the way you want or not.

I think it depends on the blogger that how he drives the conversation, now in this case you can notice that my comment was not that 1 liner and it came up because there was a conversation involved.

Thanks for the review Nirmal .

Some things I would like to point out from the review

1) I have removed my photo from the about page because it was an old irrelevant photo .
2)I had an archives link in the top navigation header but I thought that no one was using it ; thanks for the advice and I will add it right away
3)I will certainly take into consideration moving the search box at the top of the sidebar.
4)The reason why I haven’t installed Top Commentators plugin (it’s actually installed but it’s not activated ) is because I think that this certain plugin doesn’t improve the quality of comments , just their quantity .
And I don’t want to end with comments such as :
“Wow , such a great post” , “I found this very useful” just so people can get a backlink for free.

I have also been enjoying reading your blog lately Nirmal , thanks for the kind review again .

P.S : Qtip K2 is going to be released soon enough -:)
