A brief about sharadchhetri.com
I used to sometimes write some posts in Blogspot. And that was the pin date of my blogging journey. And I still write. I started writing the blog posts so that I should be able to keep my Technical Notes available in Internet. Whenever I or somebody need the tutorial, they can visit to my technical notes.
Because I was just keep writing the Technical Articles , sharadchhetri.com grown and started showing in Search Engine. Many topics started ranking even. But I never seriously thought about SEO things, even I still do not !
On 03/March/2011 I just casually bought this domain name (sharadchhetri.com) from my friend and colleague Mr. Jay. He bought the Domain in my behalf and used his credit card. During those days, I was not having the Credit Card. I just bought the domain casually without thinking about to do blogging on it. Now a days, you will be lucky to find the domain name which could match with your real name.
The SharadChhetri.com is actually more like a “Proof Of Concept Ground” for me. I did lots of experiments on this Blog Setup. The blog also get too many attacks. I also learned a lot from these attacks (Thanks for attacking 🙂 ).
