new Download Hind Songs launched in August

It took me a while to announce this, but I'm here. The new Download Hindi Songs blog is now live and working. It was actually launched back in August, but for one reason or another I didn't write about it here on BBN earlier.

The site uses the original DHS design, but with the power of WordPress I've added a few new features here and there. The most obvious and most important one is the new MP3 player. Now users can listen to Hindi songs online.

To all the BBN members, if you're still active, I would appreciate it if you update your links to my site. The new URL is http://www.newdownloadhindisongs.com. I've already added all the BBN blogs to my blogroll.

Anyway, I hope everyone's doing fine. I've noticed some of you guys have stopped blogging or blog rarely. I hope things are going well in your personal lives.

Take care,

DJ

My Blog Has Been Deleted! WTF!!

My blog http://downloadhindisongs.blogspot.com has been deleted for some reason. This morning after breakfast, I logged in to check for comments, and what I found was nothing! The whole blog has disappeared! I didn't receive no warning or anything from Google so I'm not sure what's going on. Google Webmaster Tools which gives me warnings about my blog from time to time isn't saying anything either.

Has anyone else had this problem before? I would really appreciate any and all help in this matter. I had that blog since mid 2006, that's 3 years already and I've put so much of my time and effort to build it, and now it is gone just like that. I'm really frustrated and disappointed right now. Google Help isn't that much of help either. There's no way to contact Google, they keep sending me from one help page to another, none of which have the answer to my problem.

I don't know what to do. To all the regular visitors of my blog, sorry for all the inconvenience. This is out of my hands. I'll still be looking to see what I can do, so hang in there. And thank you for all the support you have been giving me for the past 3 years!!

DJ,

Get To Know Bollywood Better With Desi Galaxy

We have one more person joining the BBNetwork boat, and she is Sabeen from Desi Galaxy. She has been "celebrating the celebrities of Desi stardom" since November 2005, long before some of us new what blogging was.

Desi Galaxy is more about the actors and actresses of Bollywood than it is about the movies. Sabeen introduces and explains to us the men and women behind our favorite (or not so favorite) filmi charactors, musicians, and other behind the scene artists responsible for all the glamour and appeal of Bollywood So if you want to get to know your favorite stars better, head over to Desi Galaxy. And please welcome her to BBNetwork.

Geek Of All Trades Takes On Hindi Films

I would like you all to join me in welcoming Carla to The Network. Hindi films make up only one of her geekinesses; others include art, baseball, catblogging, comics, food, languages, law, magic, movies (all sorts), music, news, politics, religion, science, self-reflection, technology, and last but not least the internet. Wew! All trades that is!

Carla is not new to Hindi films, and neither is Filmi Geek a new blog. Carla has written over 90 Hindi film reviews to date, ranging from the 1950s films to the latest, e.g. Eklavya and The Namesake. Being a true geek of both films and languages, Carla's reviews are full of all the lingo one would expect from pro film critics (or my eglish teacher, God knows how much she hated me for not taking her class seriously :p). Add that to her deeply thoughtful and unique perspective on each film and you have a film review that is always a pleasure to read.

Welcome to BBNetwork Carla, very glad to have you aboard!

Forced To Upgrade

I was forced to upgrade my account to the new version of Blogger. In the beginning, when I logged into my old Blogger account, I was given two choices: continue to dashboard, and upgrade your account. But for the last few weeks (yes weeks) they had removed the "continue to dashboard" option. So today, I had to do it; I had to upgrade in order to update my blog.

My concerns were: 1) Would I be able to use my old template with the new Blogger? and 2) As BBNetwork is a team blog, would this upgrade affect other members in terms of them being able to login and post on this blog? The old template can obviously be used the new Blogger, as you can see. We have the choice of either using the classic templates (i.e. our own designs) or the newer templates with all the new fancy coding which I found very hard to modify.

As for the concern #2, I don't know, yet. That is something I would need to hear from you. Please tell me if this has had any (bad) effects on you as a team/network member. Any changes? ha?
