Hey there ‘awesome’ readers!
It gives me immense pleasure to announce that Meditation Rocks is 30 days old (think: cute baby). It’s been exciting journey with you guys to here. So I’ve decided that 11th of every month we will share about our progress!
Moreover, we have 135+ fans on facebook fan page and 860 followers on twitter.
Blog Readers
From 0, we have reached 15,674 Hits and 2,785 Page views. We have 26 Feed Subscribers (at the time of writing this post). You can subscribe it too so, it will let you know every time we have a new post here.
You are the true inspiration behind the blog. Thanks you so much for your support.
Press Exposure
This one makes you feel proud. We got mentions in a National Student Newspaper – NIE Times of India (Student Edition) and HT City Chandigarh (City Supplement of Hindustan Times). Isn’t that great? (Sorry my scanner isn’t working but will post the pics soon)
Design Updates
Here are some redesign options on site:
Category View on Sidebar: All the posts sorted by Categories
Archive: Find post via month
Search, and overall design changes: saw something different in beginning of this post? Well that’s what I did. Trying to get the focus on articles, you see. Let me know what you think of new design and yes let me know if something is not working for you.
P.S.: It won’t look great on IE6
Thanks to Authors
Please bear in mind that there is no ‘Guest Post’ on Meditation Rocks. We all are co-creators of the blog! So go on and write a post!
Thanks to these awesome people for sharing their thoughts: Ryan Biddulph, Karthikeyan Ganapathy and Manav Dhiman.
Personal Experience
I’ve learned a lot! Answering all the emails with questions, discussing with people taught me many things and provoked me to think. Especially your comments, they are just lovable! Remember, every blog loves comment. I try to answer every comment, coz I love them!
Also I’ve been reading a lot of books which I will share here soon. Thanks to you guys who keep inspiring me!
Coming Soon
These are some features which I plant to add soon:
Newsletter: A weekly newsletter from Meditation Rocks with awesome secrets that you won’t get on the site!
Podcast: Yes I know I’ve been talking about them a lot. I am experimenting with some ideas. As soon as I get the best one, you will get the podcast! You can download it, make a CD, out in iPod and meditate with it!
7 Days to Meditation: Next week, we will have series of 7 articles which will make sure that you meditate! They will make it a permanent habit and inspire you a lot. So stay tuned.
Earnings
Best thing to share. You see that add on sidebar and one near comments section? (I hope they don’t annoy you). Curious how much they earned? $0.83! Not what you expected? Well, I am not aiming for money… but it’s good if it does make some.
