Towards Essentialism For This Blog

By AK Patil - akp51v

↪ On SummaryMaster51v, I had originally added a lot more gadgets using the Contempo theme. As a result, the fold (visible content before you scrolling) was filled with the Pages Tabs, and just a few lines of the Recent Post Title were visible on a smartphone.

So, for this blog, I will be trying to keep the things simpler. And from onwards, that blog has a Simple Theme too. It makes multiple posts and their previews visible directly at the fold.

Now, I have a site where all my important links are provided, with a clean interface, at bit.ly/site51v.

That's some excessive decluttering, but it feels nice. Sometimes, a few lines at the centre of the large negative space are more calming, than an abundance of the over-information and the hyper-detailing. I guess, similar to how the minimalist flat images load faster (for the same degree of compression), less is truly more, at the times.

As for this belated enlightenment about the necessity of keeping it simple, stupid-me; this is even more embarrassing when I recall the long post about Meaningless Work and Meaningful Art from that other blog. Actually, if I think about it now, don't the Long Posts and a blog titled as SummaryMaster51v seem quite contradictory and contrasting?

So, the joke is on me, after all.

My Bad – I began writing as if it was all about money

↪ I forgot why I began writing such online content. Not in a literal sense, but I was distracted by my own thoughts. That much is true indeed. But thanks to some great fiction stories, I remember now. Yes, I started because this was fun. And it was a type of personal philosophical journey. The act of writing forces you to think about a topic with care. And with patience. Thus, you face the challenges. So, overcoming these hurdles, makes you a better person. At least, that was the original idea. Writing Services [Learn More] What we begin as a hobby, might have the potential to become an additional income source. Content writing, affiliate marketing and social media promotions are related with each other. However, once you start 'monetising' your online assets, you look at every content creation opportunity as a Monetisation Aid. So, the purity of your hobby gets diluted, by your own hands. Thanks to some brilliant stories, I have recalled the reasons behind my i

My Third Blog and a New Outlook

By AK Patil - akp51v
↪ Hi, I am Akshay K.P. I had tried to create two Wordpress.com blogs during my Degree college years. And as I became more and more busy with the college life, I couldn't maintain them regularly. After graduation, I made another attempt of blogging. In my third attempt, I wrote only three posts in the three languages which I can speak. Now, a little technical correction. Above account will make SummaryMaster51v my blog number four. I have made 28 or 30 posts on it, at the time of posting this. A lot of them are the long posts, and it is a blog with a dark user interface and white letters. It is located at summ-akp51v.blogspot.com at this moment. In short, this is my Fifth Blog  and this time, I will just post something that comes to my mind. I just felt like creating one more blog and I will keep my SummaryMaster51v updated as well. But on this blog, I will post more daily-life type of content, I guess. I don't know what this is going to be. So, let's continue our life, and
