Why is your blog named “Life Rocks! 2.0″?
Well when my blog was hosted in blogspot, it was a pure personal blog and at that time I named my blog Life Rocks and when I started tech blogging, I didnt want to change the original name, so named it to Life Rocks! 2.0

Your site design is quite impressive. Was this designed by you?
Yes, the blog design was done by me. Although I’m not much familiar with php, I was good in CSS, so tool some time to design it. This design was appreciated by many.

What are the tools you use for blogging?
Tools for blogging are very few now. I’m planning to get a laptop soon. Other that that I use my desktop. On the software side, I use Wordpress for blogging.

Your blog is updated often! How much time you spend on it?
My blog is updated daily, and I spend around 2-3 hours not only on my blog, but reading some good blogs as well.

If you are given an opportunity to buy out a blog, which one that would be?
Well I don’t believe in purchasing a successful blog, you wont get the correct identity for yourself. Still I would have a get one, I would go for Engadget or any gadget or mobile phone blog.

How blogging has affected your life (good or bad)?
Blogging has really affected my life for good. I have been able to gain more knowledge in many areas, made new friends from all around the world.

You have over 500 regular readers. Do you get a lot of emails from them?
I do get mails from my readers as well as many other people asking for help regarding some tips or tricks etc. Some people have asked me whether my blog design is available for download.

What are your future plans for the site?
Future plans include a new theme for the blog, which I’m working on and most probably a new blog on mobile phones.

Is there anything you want to tell Kerala Blogger Community readers?
Well, Only thing I would say that don’t take up blogging just for the sake of making some money, there should be a passion for blogging, then only you will succeed.
