Blogging journal

The Computer Society of India or in short known as the CSI is a marvelous organisation for the promotion of …..(I don’t know!!!) But I am a proud student member of this society. Oops!!! correction here, I was made as a member as everyone is in my class. It was made compulsory for all the students of the computer science department and we were forced to pay Rs 400 and subscribe to the monthly magazine of this society.

I also received the ID card, the purpose of which still I am not aware. I also receive the monthly technical magazine on the stipulated date (Kudos to everyone involved). I have not got the slightest interest in those and generally throw them to the corner of my shelf and they have piled up. But once when I was thumbing through one of the issues (doing some justice to the 400 I paid…) I found that the February edition would be dedicated to blogging (Every month a growing technical trend is illustrated). I forgot about this a long way back.

Last week my friend me messaged me “dei…this month’s CSI journal about blogging”. Then I remembered but I had not received the book by that time and so I waited. Finally I received it and it had a nice cover portrayal. Immediately I read through the index and found the most common name Kiruba Shankar and immediately turned to that page and read his article about “What makes a blog shine?” It was damn good and the other articles “Are you using the right blogging tool?” many tips and sample opinion from bloggers were also nice.

Anyway a little bit satisfied in getting some good returns for the amount I paid. I am not aware if the journals are available online. I remember reading about the articles being published in the CSI website. I will put the links if I get some info.
