Technical Enhancements in the NESAS Blog

Since last week, I changed the blog pretty much and tried my best to give it a fresh and better look backed with the state of art tools available on the net. I have chosen many services free of cost like ClusterMaps, SiteMeter and Date and Time Display.

But you would wonder that the Blog Header had cost me the most time than the ClusterMaps, SiteMeter and Date-Time Display together. Becuase the gap between flags of Austria and Nepal and vertically written NESAS' logo seems to have a transparent background, but it is not really so. It has an opaque background. I copied the background from anywhere else and pasted as the background of the flags. So, now it looks as if, it has a transparent background.

SiteMeter has already started functioning, whereas ClusterMaps looks better than SiteMeter, but ClusterMaps has not started functioning. I am planning to bring down SiteMeter from the blog and set ClusterMaps as the standard Hit-Counter. The Date-Time would also change as soon as I get any other free and beautiful Display. But Blogpost accepts certain types of scripting only. So, they have to be tested before they are launched here for long time.

If anyone has some better ideas to improve the blog, I would be indebted to you and would welcome that. Thanks in advance.

World Tour on two-wheels : Pushkar Shah

Two weeks back, Pushkar Shah was here in Vienna on his way across the whole world marking Austria as the 125th country he peddled so far. He is known for Adventure Cycling measuring around 200,000 kilometers. He is now is Hungary.

He started the World Tour on cycle with just a bicycle and 100 Nepali Rupees equivalent to around € 1 on 29th November 1998. He is peddling with a message of Peace and Love to the corners of the world. When he discloses about his dream to conclude the journey, his eyes brighten with joy. He says, he would like to end his journey by bringing all the flags of the countries, he has travelled to the the top of the world - to the Mount Everest (8848 meters).

He travels all the way with his unfading smile. We all wish him and his family the best of luck.

Transforming Look of NESAS-AUSTRIA's Blog

Since last three days, I am completely poured on Blogpost- / Blogger.com. Previously, I was using Wordpress, so I found naturally many differneces as well as many similarities too technically.

I personally like the colours of basic instinct - Black and White thereafter comes Blue. Then come all other colours according to the subject and inner sense of the matter to be designed. Like, whenever we talk about Indian Culture or Festival, the first idea that clicks is not a single colour but a blend of many different colours that reflect the colourful festivals or different culture. The same way, over a time, my first choice of Layout for the NESAS-AUSTRIA started to be overloaded with pessimism and gloominess, whereas as an organisation patroning hundreds of Nepali it should be much optimistic.

So all of sudden, I decided to change it to a little more bright, colourful and cheerful.

Technically, Blogpost looks at first site much easier than Wordpress, since most of the options are laid visible directly at the place of necessity. Blogpost accepts JavaScripts and other scripts whereas Wordpress accepts just the HTML codes. About other Widgets that are called Gadget in Blogpost, I am still learning more about the other options and new things. On the right hand side, I have pasted the older face of the blog.

I would thankfully welcome all kinds of comments passed to me.
