The story of the pictures (Kabita’s comments) dates back to a few months ago when Dikez and I were talking about what could be done to increase the visitors as we were worried about the decline in the visitor’s graphs.
We were extremely short of articles (we still are), and were trying to come up with something to hold our visitors attention. Form experience we knew that a lot of people who log on to sites do not read the entire text.
Those who do, go through the entire text usually look for solid stuff, which we know we have not been able to provide. Hence we decided to feature models.
With no resource of any kind we were left to search specifically for those pictures we could get for free.
And guess what suddenly after the addition of the model section we had a huge increase in our visitors list. A small part of me was happy with the increase of the viewers, as this is definitely good for the site. In fact we have slowly been progressing and with each passing weeks been able to go a few places up in the chart of the Nepali sites.
This other side of me is extremely annoyed with the way the pictures have shadowed our write-ups. Not wanting to believe this fact I have argued a number of times with Dikez telling him that may be the idea of featuring those pictures was not so good as we have yet to receive a comment about those pictures. To this Dikez usually replied – ‘those who surf the net for pictures do not write down comment.’
Then came Kabita’s comments criticizing us for opting the easy way out. My joy on reading Kabita’s comment was immense to say the least. Never before had I been happy to be accused of being wrong.
Thank you Kabita for encouraging us to stick to our articles. Which we will definitely do. And may I take this opportunity to ask people like you to help us by contributing your article.
