Finally, this Deepawali my blog is up.
Starting this blog meant a lot of work. Work which was not difficult but very tiring. First things first, I had to choose a blogging service. Of a wide variety of available services I narrowed down to WordPress and Blogger. The choice until now was very easy, since I had a previous experiences with only these two services. But, now came the difficult one WordPress or Blogger. I tried to make my choice easier by looking for available blog URLs, but both proved to be equally oversubscribed. Of more than a score of choices I tried I didn't get any on either. But, I couldn't be more elated, since now I have a blog with a name which I can identify with myself, 'Sweet & Pure'. I will post why later.
Amongst WordPress and Blogger, I decided on Blogger because of the amount to customizations it offered to users for free. The Blogger template is completely customizable, moreover there are loads of free templates available on web.
Now, I had to choose the template. I made this choice easy by just choosing the most downloaded template. And, now came the part I had been dreading, customizing the template. But, Blogger is a lifesaver customizing the template was a cakewalk. I was done in half an hour. Though there is some work left to do, but this template is nice for the moment.
And, finally the real part, writing a post. What could be easier than writing about how I got my blog up. I had just finished the job.
Now, I hope to keep posting on my blog regularly! I have buckets full of things to talk about.
Right now, I have just dusted my room and am feeling dead tired. I will just write one more post and sleep. I have to wake up at 8:00 am today if I want to have breakfast! ;)

Hi Saumya!
Nice to see some criticism finally.
Could you please elaborate on the comment you left. It will eventually help me write better posts.
hey...i guess it was a little too harsh.. :) its gud u ve started..i cud never gather the guts to...
suggestions:
please organize ur blog!!
i cudnt figure out where it started or ended...wat the posts were, etc.
too many links also..try to remove them..more later..
Thanks!
Now, when you have said it, even I found that, it might be difficult to find where a post ended and the new one began. So, I changed the earlier blue dotted line post separator to a solid grey 2 pixel one. Now, I think it should be easier.
Links... well the whole internet is linked together and that is the beauty of it. But, yes nowdays links are supposed to be relevant even Wikipedia is removing irrelevant links from its articles.
But, I noticed that the text colour formatting of this template is a bit ambiguous; links , emphasized text, a few headers all are maroon. I will try to fix that as soon as possible.
Thanks, again for all those suggestions!
