Litemind Lists Project Favourites

Luciano Passuello over at Litemind recently put up the final list of entries in his Lists Group Writing Project. I had thrown in my hat into the ring with my entry about procrastination.

AJAX, Making Money, and Google Rankings – Fresh Finds

AJAX, Making Money, and Google Rankings - Fresh Finds

Fresh Finds is back in a new form. I was using a special plugin to create my link blog within WordPress, but I’m switching to plain old link posts in a special category.

Welcome to the all new SamirBharadwaj.com

This new layout is still in beta and a work-in-progress, but the site has been running for almost a decade in its current form, so there's a lot of good material collected here, and more to come.

Browse the menus at the top and bottom of the page, and please do send me a message with your thoughts and queries. I love to hear from my readers.
