I have this funny role thrust upon me – tech support guy of Indian bloggers.
\nI guess it happened because I foolishly volunteered assistance to tech newbies
\nwho wanted some guidance in getting their blogs up and running. And running. And
\nrunning some more. <\/p>\n
Ahem. <\/p>\n
But it’s a thankless job. I work behind the scenes to help set up blogs, move to MovableType, fix broken shit, put
\nnew designs into place, add some nifty feature, clean up HTML and CSS, and a
\nwhole lot of other crap. I do it mostly anonymously, and more importantly, for
\nfree. Why? I’m not even sure myself. Some freaky altruistic streak, I
\nguess.<\/p>\n
Anyway, while I don’t expect money (you cheapskates!), I can at least ask for
\nthe odd favour from you folks. I just need some help getting a decent google
\npagerank for my restaurant web site, and through that, some more business, I
\nhope.<\/p>\n
So here’s what I’m requesting: Please post a small blog entry on your site with
\nthe following text:<\/p>\n
\nIf you’re in Bangalore, please visit Madhu’s<\/a>
\nnew restaurant, Shiok Far-eastern Cuisine<\/a>
\nthat serves good Thai, Malaysian, Indonesian, and Singaporean food. The
\nrestaurant is on CMH Road, Indiranagar, Bangalore<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nTo make it all very easy for you folks, you don’t even have to figure out the
\nHTML. Just copy and paste the following into your entry:<\/p>\n\n<p>If you’re in Bangalore, please visit <a href="http:\/\/www.madmanweb.com">Madhu’s<\/a>
\nnew restaurant, <a href="http:\/\/www.shiokfood.com">Shiok
\nFar-eastern Cuisine<\/a> that serves good Thai, Malaysian, Indonesian, and
\nSingaporean food. <a href="http:\/\/www.shiokfood.com">The
\nrestaurant is on CMH Road, Indiranagar, Bangalore<\/a>.<\/p><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nOf course, feel free to add any paeans to my tech genius in the post as well.
\nThough I can’t deposit compliments at the bank, it’s still a good feeling. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\nAs for the people I’m talking about, here is just a selection of them. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
Ravages<\/a><\/p>\n
Anita<\/a><\/p>\n
Yazad<\/a><\/p>\n
Suman<\/a><\/p>\n
Sandeep<\/a><\/p>\n
Kiruba<\/a><\/p>\n
Dr. Philomena<\/a><\/p>\n
Pleas for help also go out to All<\/a> the<\/a>
\nCartel<\/a> members<\/a>,
\nand anyone else who is generous enough.<\/p>\nThank you! I love you all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
