The real first

And after nearly three hours on customization effort, here it is - my first public blog. I wouldn't call it picture perfect, but its no less than that. I had to manually edit the HTML template a bit to get the blog to what it is right now. I'd say worth the effort. Love it. I was also thinking of removing the blogger navbar on top of the site, but later found out from one of the blogs that doing so would be a violation of TOS of blogger, so later resolved to retain it.

So, this qualifies to be the real first post in my blog. The first post was a beta post which was put in to test and set the look-n-feel of the site.

The reason for having started this blog is to keep a track of what things i've been doing of late and how. This would serve to be the answer if i were to ask myself: "wassup".

So, today morning i had been to Kanteerava stadium, eagerly to wall-climb, after Pratap had managed to kindle my interest on the activity by mentioning about it and inviting me to give it a try. It was fun and good, although i din't make it to the top even once, at the plainest simplest easiest wall, in four of my attempts. But those kids who'd come there were easily able to make it to the top. How badly have i been void of physical activies these days!! I want to, hope to, and aspire to improve. I'm going there tomorrow too.

And a small note on the modifications to the HTML/CSS template i had made (for the record):

1. I dint like the way the dates appeared on top of posts, so i removed it, and moved it to appear on the footer, besides the timestamp.
2. Removed the footer label: "Posted by" and hardlined the "thought so" before timestamp.
3. Inserted "|"s between the links.
4. I dint like the way the heads of "Archives" and "About Me" appeared. So, modified the captions, and later made them appear in the same style as post-titles.
5. Removed the "Navbar", read that its illegal, and later, removed the code that removed the navbar.

And later a few changes to fonts and colors. I love Trebuchet font. I think i should write about how i wasted nearly half-a-day on it once. When i get time..
