A Cleaner Thought
Feb 13th 2007Nik AgarwalMy View
Have you noticed some changes around my blog? Most of the changes have been subtle but I think they have improved the overall perspective of this blog. I added a Blidget Widget, joined MyBlogLog, updated my “Connections”, and improved the “Terminals”. I also received an email earlier about how it would be nice if I can explain a bit about the categories (Terminals) and I figured it was a great way to have another original post up.
I remember when I started this blog, I only had like three categories: Rantings, My View, and Uncategorized. Since that day (11/05/2006), I have increased the number of categories in the hopes to make it easier to find some of my posts. I want to take this time and explain the different categories and what sort of posts they host.
This category hosts posts about different businesses that I have written about such as Nokia, Boeing, and GM. These posts take into account company profiles, business plans and transactions, and anything related to the corporation as a whole. Generally, I add a small piece of my own thoughts into the posts, but I do try to keep it more informational than persuasive.
This should be pretty self-explanatory. I love cars and I love to drive them. This category simply talks about cars that have captured my interest and contain a few images. Like most of my categories, I try to simply present the key information and keep it more informational than persuasive. This is one of my favorite categories to write for.
As a college student, I have extensive experience in what many college students are going through. I have a proven track record that illustrates how my studying techniques and behavior is effective and can produce promising results. As a strong believer of the Kaizen theory, I have a strong desire to share my experiences and thoughts on how other college students can improve their own academic performance and see the results they strive for.
I have to admit that this is the only category that I have not updated in over a month. It’s not that I have not watched any movies lately, it simply is a lack of motivation to write about the movies I have watched. I think this is one category that I can safely say it probably won’t be updated very much, if at all.
This is my second most popular category. This category hosts most of my opinion pages and many articles under this category can also be found in the other ones as well. Often, the first half of some of my posts are informational, followed by a paragraph or two of my own thoughts on the subject matter. I can easily see this category hosting the majority of my posts in the near future and it is always a pleasure to write about different things with my own thoughts included. If you ask me, I think the soul of this blog resides in this category.
This is one of my newest categories that I had mentioned I would start due to my increasing awareness of political issues. I feel that my blog should not be held back because of my views but it should further my views and that is why I feel that writing about political events/issues is beneficial. So far, I have not written much mainly due to the fact that I am still somewhat cautious of simply flinging my political propaganda throughout my blog. As time goes on and we approach election year, I think I will start to write more and more about different political issues. I can see this category becoming a “hot one” near the end of this year.
Welcome to the most popular category of this blog. This category simply houses events that are not really pertinent to the other categories and is somewhat more personal. Generally these posts just convey my emotions and feelings or give updates on what I am doing in the near future. Since I have a new set of categories made up, I think this category has already reached its maximum potential. In essence, I think the My View category will overtake this one in terms of popularity.
This is my “sluggish” category. In case you have not figured it out, I only update this category once a month and it talks about the month’s events. I generally write about my accomplishments and failed goals that I had set for the month. In addition, I also write about my blog and the direction it has taken over the past month. This is a great category to quickly acclimate yourself to my blog and to me.
By no means am I an alcoholic. Rather, I am a big fan of alcoholic beverages and I enjoy trying out new drinks and new concoctions. Generally, this category simply caters to the liquor articles and news. My only comment about this category is, “please drink responsibly.”
Like the Spirits and Lager category, this category caters to my favorite sports teams. Here you will find posts about the NBA, NFL, NCAA Football, and some other sports. Generally, I’m a huge football fan so you will see more football news than any other sport. However, I do plan on diversifying my writings in sports and will write about a variety of issues in the near future. And, let’s not forget, this category will host the world famous Chicago Cubs, my favorite baseball team.
In this category, I write mostly different electronic devices and gadgets. Generally, many of these posts are linked together with the My View category since I do add my own two cents on the subject matter.
Tidbits pretty much contains little tips and bits of information that I find amusing or useful. Some of my most popular posts have been written in Tidbits. Generally, I find most of this information on the web and I shamelessly reproduce it on my own blog. Of course, I do link to the original article and I do my best to be original in writing my own comments.
