More About the Author of Rajan C Mathew's Blogs and A few Words About the Blog Too !

The page views of my blogs hit the 100,000 mark a couple of days ago. Not a small thing for a blog site using the Google's blogspot / blogger platform considering the fact that this has happened in just over a year's time. Besides, the blogs are not on popular topics such as food, lifestyle, sports, politics, gadgets, cooking and the like.

I do not know, how many of the site visitors stay there to read the blogs in total. Such readers could be very very few. I know the majority of the page visitors are visiting those blogs which I consider as not so important. The visitors to the topics which I consider as important are only a minor fraction of the total visitors. I know the reason and I am not surprised.

I do not know how many of my readers have read the caption that appear at the top of the blog page. It reads like this:

'View Points and Commentaries from an Open Minded Indian Engineer- A Silent Observer of Human Achievements, Trials and Tribulations. A Fascinated Indian Student of the Urantia Book, writing Blogs based on the Universal Truths Revealed in this Book, realizing pretty well that these won't make any difference unless the Reader has a Desire to seek Truth and Goodness!’

As very few readers use the comment facility or the 'Join this site' facility, I have no idea regarding what the readers might be thinking. Most likely, the majority might be considering these as 'rubbish'. I am not surprised.

But there are a few, who gives positive and encouraging feed backs. I am happy that their minds get positively inspired to think, regardless of my poor writing with no real consideration to literary aesthetics. Regrettably, I type the blogs directly the input editor and do not get more time to do the fine tuning. I do wish some readers would give me some feedback on that, so that I could give some more attention.

The writing style I adopt might appear a bit complex. I realize that. I should make some future attempts to make them simpler to understand and read.

For those readers who find my topics interesting, I have a suggestion. I have recently included the 'search' facility and the 'Google Translate' facility on right side. I do not know how far the machine translation would be useful to the non-English readers. But the search facility would be helpful to find other blogs written by me which deal with similar ideas. 

A few of the readers would be interested to know more about me. A Google search for my name would give most of the desired information. Those interested to contact me may also use the comments facility. I would try to respond or communicate with them personally. My personal website link given on the right side also could be used.

I am thankful to the handful of the Urantia Book Readers' world community who read my blogs a bit carefully. They are the few spiritually starved people of this world who are thirsty for spiritual truths. 

I do hope that more and more of such people would devote some time to spread the light of spiritual light in this world by being real examples of living a fruitful life in accordance with the will of God.

May the Grace of the Universal Father God prevail on this world to progress materially and spiritually in the generations to come!

Why I prefer Blogging with Blogger ?

When the word blog and blogging came to my notice a couple of years ago, frankly, I was not knowing its meaning. Slowly, I began to understand what it is and what it can do.

A blog as I understand now, is something in written form which is shared online in the world wide web or Internet, the technology of modern world that changed the way people lived and communicated. The voice communication technologies of modern telephony do not have the superior advantages of mass communication and information archiving facilities that the blogging technology has.

The adaptation of the Internet with this new blog creation and publishing platform has revolutionized the ways of reading and writing of people.

Monopoly of writing and publishing has crumbled and it has now come in the hands of every one, almost free of cost.

Now potential writers like me are no more subject to the whims and fancies of authoritarian editors of the so-called media, either print or online, who for so many years have been doing the subtle task of subverting the ways in which people thought or wrote.

They never allowed the thoughts of the common man to be known to others without their censoring. If a line of thought is not meeting their purpose, they would strike it down, killing the seed of the thought ever getting a chance to get germinated.

Newspapers and online magazines publish many things on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. But what they publish are solely those matters what they deemed as fit. Thus they, in a way acted as the sponsors of budding authors.

Even the common features like the 'letters to the editor' were subject to the whims of the editors. Thus those letters getting published to public gaze were the opinions of the readers what the editors agreed to be made known. I remember some instances where some of my comments of general interest getting deleted by the editors while they allowed obscene and objectionable things freely. I do not have any thing to comment on their right to discard those writings which are non-readable or of a language not normally acceptable to the society. They do have the right on that. But they also decided the content on the basis of its possible impact on the readership of their respective media.

In the final analysis, media is also a money making business. Money has to be generated to run this business. So those content that was not facilitating money making was not normally favoured.

The blogging facilities of dot com companies which thrive on the modern Internet technology are also part of some businesses. Some of them are bigger and more internationalized than the conventional media businesses.

But the good part of the blog media is that it allows somebody interested in writing to write and publish a matter almost instantaneously and fully without any draconian editor coming in between to prevent its publication.

The responsibility of the content of the blog vests fully with its author.

More over, what is published is visible to the public through the Internet pages and is archived for an infinite period visible to not only the present viewers, but also to the potential viewers of the future.

Though there are many blogging sites, Blogger in association with Blogspot, both now part of the big brother Google, is no doubt the best. That is my personal opinion.

It has some best facilities that no other blogging company has or offers.

First and foremost, it has the best hassle free technology. And keeps advancing or improving. So far I did not face any technical problem with publishing. It is really fast and friendly with your PC and the loaded software that it normally has.

Second it offers your blogs to be published in the most decent manner and you have all the desired levels of controls and tools for designing your blog page. You need not be a computer expert for this.

You can edit, delete your blogs or the comments from your readers at any time. You can also keep the drafts of your blogs, in fact many drafts at a time, on your dashboard indefinitely till you decide to publish them.

You don't incur any expenses in publishing your blogs, except the Internet charges that you pay. Additionally your blog page does not get bombarded by advertisements without your permission. The Google AdSense is ofcourse there for those blog authors who desire to make some money provided their readers cause generation of some income by showing interest in those advertisements placed on your page through it. But for you have the absolute freedom to decide whether your page should have advertisement or not.

Your pages are and its content are searchable by the search engines or to limited audience as per your choice.

You can enrich the pages with pictures or videos if you desire.

Most importantly, Blogger allows you to know some feed backs about your readers. The total number of page views with a detailed analysis of the readership on a monthly, weekly and daily basis is one of the best features a blog author would perhaps like the most. It gives a global perspective of your readership. Again with such a superb and hassle free technology!

Nevertheless, this feed back as of now is available only to me, the author. I tried to give a link for the benefit of my readers but it failed. Because to read the feedback link, signing in is required.

Anyway for your information, my blogs on blogger with the title Rajan C Mathew's Blogs became active from July 2011, though I opened the blogger account in May 2009. My blog writings in blogger got momentum in the last two or three months only. In the last three months around 1600 page views have been registered. Leaving the page views from my own country, the major viewers are from the USA (415), Germany (100), Russia (82), France (54), Moldova (32), Latvia (25), Canada (22), Portugal (20) and Denmark (16).

The majority of blog viewers, are silent viewers. They somehow lack the enthusiasm to write their comments or express their feelings. Personally, I would feel happy if my readers do this, even when the comments are critical in nature. Comments would also give an opportunity to all readers to know mutually to some extent.

Use blogger and blogspot to the full. Best Wishes !!
