Claiming my blog
Nov 24th
MyBlogLog is a service provide by yahoo to maintain ones identity. Now a days we have some many internet application so many profiles. This site provides one unified place to manage all these.
MyBloglog was recently acquired by yahoo. And it started allowing users to link there yahoo account to there myblog account. I did some mistake and ended up deleting my original myblog account.
I created a new one.. and tried to register my blog but it said.. I have to claim it. As it is owned by another user. This is bad.. (Deleting my earlier account should have deleted my blog info too)
Any way myblog log allows 2 ways 2 claim the blog.. one via a link in post and another via a meta tag. I am using the link . and here it is ..
Will be deleting it once the verification is done.

Moving To WordPress
Nov 12th
After a long stint with blogger i have decided to move to the WordPress. Blogger is great for a starter but as we grow we see its limitations.
WordPress has more flexibility compared to blogger and being open source it has lots of plugins and templates available. Plus the support community is prety large which can help us resolve our day to day problems.
I have choosen BlueHost for hosting the blog. The blog is called Digital Derby.
I will be cross posting to this blog and the new blog for a while. And once the new blog is fully set up, I will leave this blog as is.
