Lift of ban on Blogger

Strangely, I completely forgot to put a post about the lift of ban on Blogger in my country. It was banned for some small reasons, and the ban stayed for quite a long time. I don't know if the lift is temporary, or will Blogger be available to m,e and my countrymen as a regular service now, but it sure is a good step.

So here's to Blogger... and the evolved Internet in general! Cheers!!

Disappointed by Yahoo! Answers

While Blogger was banned, I was quite desperate to get it back, even had to ask around for people to suggest me a (free) blogging service as resourceful as Blogger. I came across many, but the best I liked was WordPress. I even placed a question on Yahoo Answers which turn out to be a disappointment. I (think I) had placed a serious question over there, and all I could gather were three answers which didn't prove soo helpful to me.

Automated emails from Yahoo Answers rushing to my inbox wanted me to choose a best answer out of those answers. I didn't like any of the answers, so I extended the expiry time (I hope you know how Yahoo! Answers work). Someone gave one vote to one of the people who answered out of the three, and eventually my question was shut down. I'm sure Yahoo! Answers must help a lot of people with a lot of problems, but my experience didn't turn out to be so great.

By the way, the ban was only on opening the blogs. You could still sign in to Blogger, and write your posts, but you never got to see your blog.
