My only purpose to learn photoshop was to wrote this post, so I installed photoshop on my laptop, search for tutorial notes on how to create “Various Stuff” in photoshop. If you are keen to learn photoshop there is tremendous information flooded on the Internet about it. And then finally I wrote this post on “how to make ebook cover in photoshop”. No surprise, my intuition were right, I was able to hit the No. 1 search result in Google search index for phrase “how to make ebook cover in photoshop”. If you click the picture below you can see the result.

Mean while here is the article which teaches you “how to make ebook cover in photoshop”

Cross the Twitter 1000 Followers Mark

Everybody loves twitter and me too, my twitter following reached above 1000 mark. Its a good thing, it mean whatever I will write in twitter’s 140 character small wonder box it will be serve to more then 1000 twitter followers on mine including President elect Barack Obama. How I reach up to that mark so soon is a secret, I will soon post a write up on “how to increase your twitter followers”. Subscriber to my RSS feed or by e-mail so you don’t miss the tip. :-) Follow Me on twitter

twitter-countsWhich Word I write frequently in this blog

My new blogger friend Ben Tremblay posted a Blogging Tutorial video on his blog last week and ask his readers to count how many times he pronounce the word “Right” in that video. He believes that he speaks this word “Right” a lot. He was right, in that 4:45 Minutes video he pronounced the word “right” nearly 29 times. Interesting na?

I don’t post any video tutorial on this blog; so I ask myself which words I write frequently while writing posts. I google my quarry to see if there is any tool which can give me an idea which word I use frequently.  I find this cool tool at Wordle.

Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. Write in your blog URL and you will find the answer.

Look like in the picture below that I speak about “google” a lot. (Ghoos!!!)

blah-blah-blahMy 4 years old son Aditya Sharma now has his own blog.

I have already introduced to you to my little cute son “The Shanker Bakshi Junior” a couple of month back. As a blogger what the best I can offer him is to create his own Blog. I wonder how he would feel after 10 or 14 years when he will see how his dad is updating maintaining his little blog over the years. He is probably the smallest blogger from I N D I A at present. Head over to this link if you wish to visit his blog, there is only couple of post over there.

I am passionate about my blogging and as I said earlier I want to blog till my last breath, may be one day my son Aditya will write a guest post on this blog and inform you that his dad is no more in this world, and try to win your heart too.

You know how to get to the top of the search engine! I should have posted about Photoshop, too. :-D

I don’t have followers yet on my Twitter, I’m kind of lazy to invite followers as of now.

Interesting about that Worldle. I tried it immediately, and guess which words I’ve used a lot on my blog – Christmas, Phone, Advent, Hosting.

You have pasted the TITLE of the post in Google search engine and that’s the reason you have ranked on the top.. isn’t it ? that’s quite obvious..

If you ranking for some odd short Keywords then it would have been great..

Google analytical Treat it as “short Keyword” anyway am enjoying free traffic of 3000 to 400 Visitor from google for this “short Keyword”

You’re gonna make an ebook cover for me, bro? You know I need one….

Oh ya, get your boy learn a thing or two about blogging from big bro, Yan, will you? He could probably be making his way into the Guinness World Record being the youngest subscriber to thoushallblog.com.

Congrats on being on top of Google’s search result, for having 1135 Twitter followers and also for launching Aditya’s blog. Maybe Sean should start blogging too, hehe.

I also tried Worldle; Blog, Prayer and Contest are the words I’ve used a lot on my blog.
