New Year, A New Beginning for StramaXon and Me

I started this blog back in the year 2011 when I was still a young enthusiast who had a craze for creating, creating just about anything that he found to be useful for people, to share what he knew and to help and connect with people.


Over these years many things changed, the blog itself went through a lot of make-overs. The content however remained pretty much same in nature - to share the knowledge I have with you all.

Starting with Blogger, I stepped into even broader topics, like web design itself though I always wanted this blog to be only about one topic but I soon found out it was neither wise nor good for the blog itself.

Many tutorials were posted on this blog, everything about Blogger. In the past couple of years, I however failed to write much, a lot of things kept me occupied, academic and work related as well as personal reasons.

I was unable to do for most of the part during the last couple of years and that was to write blog posts here. Somewhere during that time I wanted to start writing blogs again but I was too busy on web development / designing work I had forgot what Blogger was (not in its literal sense!), to be able to write about something you had to be consistent in using that, finding out what needed to covered, but I was unable to do so and that resulted in many many months of no blog posts.

Though, that's the story of past, a new year is awaits. We all know new year's resolutions don't turn out to be great as always, though in this case my new resolution is about something that I love - to write blogs and help people, and this is what I am going to do in 2018 and so on.

Most of the subscribers and readers of the blogs came here for Blogger related topics, and I am going to continue with Blogger and I am sure you will also love the content on topics ranging from Blogger to App Development. If you are a reader of this blog you may know that my blog posts even related to coding are very simplified and aimed at non-coders and that's what it is going to be with the new categories on the blog.

I hope you find my blog useful and find something new to learn. A lot of new content is coming and with it a new look for StramaXon!

Wish you all a very happy new year in advance.

How Stramaxon got PR 4 in this PageRank Update

I won't call myself a pro but newbies bloggers in the field of tech always have one aim, to get a higher Google Toolbar pagerank but most of the times they don't succeed in getting a higher rank. In this month's (November) page rank update I got PR 4 and I wanted to share how I got such high rank.

Many people starts a blog everyday in hope that they might get famous and popular someday but there are few people who starts a blog not for money, fame or popularity, they do it only for their passion and to help others with their blog and work.

In India we have a very different blogosphere, here newbie's have assumed that blogging is only for tech and doing it will help them become popular immediately but most of the times they fail and it's normal, because they didn't blogged something they are passionate about they chosen because they assumed that they will get famous with that topic. Why we don't have much professional bloggers in India is because many people start a blog just to earn money, no matter if they are really dedicated to it or not, all they want is people to read whatever they write and earn some money with the advertising banners and things. That's the biggest problem of all the problems with a newbie "tech" blogger.

And then comes the word SEO, sounds like a magic charm to webmasters, mostly the amateurs. Search Engine Optimization is a good practice but fully relying on it is not a good thing. When I started this blog, I remember that even I was a person who didn't cared about the content but just to learn SEO and ways to get help with it but with time my interest grew in blogging and I studied more about blogging than playing with  search engine visibility of my blog.

I receive a lots of emails everyday and most of them are from new bloggers asking me about increasing traffic and "tricks" for SEO. But I usually try to avoid answering any of these questions but I always tell them that with these SEO trick you can only get traffic not real and loyal readers that can give a serious popularity to your blog.

Coming to how I got Page Rank 4 for my blog. There's a very simple and easy method behind achieving it, anyone can try it and also get succeed in the first try, if they really do it with their heart. The secret method for achieving such high page rank is hard work and no worries for SEO. It's true, I  never ever worried about my page rank or SEO status and never even expected to get the page rank value for my blog but it all happened and it's what Google wants. Genuineness is what Google gives a page rank value to websites, many so called "SEO experts" charge money to get a website top on the search results, sometimes it works but it's temporary, once Google understands that it's all done by applying techniques to fool the system your page rank and search ranks are reduced and you can't do anything. Just read this article by Matt Cutts, head of Google Webspam team.
http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/why-did-my-pagerank-go-down/


In the comments he wrote a very straight to the point note, it is :
the drop in Toolbar PageRank is an indicator of the decrease in our trust of the site.
The page rank value for your site is not just a value, it's the trust of Google for the site. It's just like you trust a person but when you see them doing something wrong to you, the trust of you for them decreases and that's similar to Google and your site. When Google will realize about all your bad SEO techniques and link exchange they will never up your PR values.  

Nobody in my contacts ever thought that I would get such PR values, even I didn't expected this because I don't believe in writing in a manner that a bot (search engines) will understand and thus rank the search results of my page higher, I believe in originality and whatever style I wrote it I continued writing despite of people's advice about using weird SEO tools to check the density of keywords in my article and other such things that could possibly help with my site ranking in Google or other search engines. And now my genuineness have proved that search engines were made for websites, not websites were made for search engines. So believe in yourself not those black techniques to become popular.

"Hard work is the key to success". And that's true, but if you think you hard work but haven't succeeded then you need some more hard work to keep patience and work till and even after you succeed.

I got PR4 and that's nothing for me, I didn't even expected it. In a few days it will be a normal thing for me and maybe I will a higher rank but do you think I will stop writing just because I got higher ranks to show good in the search results ? No, if I do that, I will get traffic but no serious readers, as I already told.

Keep blogging and try to think big to achieve something bigger. 

Stramaxon Celebrating it's First Birthday

I am very happy today, it's been 1 year since I started the blog and running it successfully. 
I posted the first article on Stramaxon on 13 October 2011 but made this blog public on 16th October. 1 year ago I started this blog as a start of my new online career and started writing on this blog weekly. I had no big expectation from my articles or writings, all I was doing was a way to gather everything I knew about web design/blogger. I learnt more and wrote more and to my surprise people started to visit my blog (mainly from Google searches) and I was glad to know that they were helped in many ways.

This blog is for my readers and without you all, I wouldn't have achieved such distinction. Thanks to you all and hope continue to post on this blog to help you people in every way possible.

There were no post from a long time because I was busy with some web design works but now when I am done, I will continue to write more on this blog. Plus, I wanted to share a web design project, which you can find here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/demos/detail/changing-screens-with-media-queries.

Transformation of Stramaxon to a Web NEWS Blog

This is a personal note, I don't usually write personal notes in a blog post but this is going to be a big change for this blog and also the readership.

When I started this Blog, I used to write latest NEWS that aired on TV but soon I found that I wasn't doing well in it so I started learning Web Designing and at the same time I join Blogger Help Forum, so the first transformation of this blog was a from a NEWS blog to a Web Design and Blogger Help blog.

I got a very nice response from the the few readers but to make my life from a blog that was not all. I didn't posted on this blog since September 5 but meanwhile I have learned some more ways to run a better blog.

Does that mean I won't post any Blogger or Web Design Post ? No, I will still post on topics I used to write but the change is about adding more topics to my blog where more readers can join and I get a larger audience for a better future of this blog.

Change is a part of Life.
