First of all I recommend you to check out the advice of my web designer friend on his website Best Web Hosting.

Choosing the best web hosting provider has become a difficult proposition because there are many companies that proclaim that they are the best. You should patiently do your homework and research for choosing the right company. You should keep in mind a few important points for making the right decision. One of the main points you should look for is the server uptime. You should get the maximum uptime but this should be verified before zeroing in on the hosting service.

The best web hosting provider should discuss with you your requirements and suggest the right plan for you. They should suggest how much disk space and bandwidth are needed for you, taking into account your requirements.

The provider you choose should extend an excellent technical support to you. If you report any errors or problems, they should be able to rectify them very fast. They must be proactive and must be ready to provide more than paid for. Additionally, the work force of the web hosting company should be highly skilled and well-trained and should be ready to provide allied services also.
To choose the best web hosting provider, you can seek the advice of your business friends who have already got their sites hosted. But, you can not assume that their providers will be suitable for you because your requirements may be different.

By going through the testimonials of customers who have utilized the services of such providers, you can have a fair idea about the quality of their work. This will help you to choose the right hosting provider.

Last but not the least, cost is a very important factor you should take into account for choosing the best web hosting provider. You should not end up paying exorbitant amounts for getting your job done. But, at the same time, you should not compromise on quality. You should make a judicious decision taking all the important factors into account.

Watched Zindagi Na milegi Dobara yesterday. And damn impressed with it. Presenting the Imran’s poetry for all my friends worldwide…

First dive…

Pighlay neelam sa behta hua yeh samaan
Neeli neeli si khamoshiyaan
Na kahin hai zameen
Na kahin aasmaan
Sarsaraati huyi tehniyaan, pattiyaan
Keh rahi hain ki bas ek tum ho yahaan
Sirf main hoon meri saansein hain aur meri dhadkanein
Aisi gehraiyaan
Aisi tanhaiyaan
Aur main sirf main
Apne honay pe mujhko yaqeen aa gaya

Today, I happened to upgrade my website from version 3.0 to latest version by using wordpress’s Auto upgrade procedure. I have clicked on auto upgrade and it went quite well. The site was functioning very smoothly. Suddenly i got an email from one of my reader’s that the home page slider is broken also there are some more issues.

I had various doubts but did not thought of wordpress upgrade would have caused this. I have turned off some plugins to check if there is any conflicts happening. I tried de-registering wordpress JQuery but the problem remains. Then i looked into some php files of the theme.

I checked the file named “template-home.php” and went to the part of it where it was fetching data from database. Finally came to know that WordPress has some changes in their data fetching system to which i need to match my theme.

I have modified my theme like this to match the upgraded wordpress,

1. Open “template-home.php” in any of your favorite editor.
2. Look for the following lines
   $category = get_option('sf_portfolio_category');
3. Change it to
   $category = sf_get_category_id(get_option('sf_portfolio_category'));
4. Look for the following lines
   $my_query = new WP_Query('showposts='.$slide_count.'&category_name='.$category);
5. Change it to
   $my_query = new WP_Query('showposts='.$slide_count.'&cat='.$category);

The slider is back on its feet and rolling like before. Hope some of these research would help some theme users out there.

Finally after 28 years of long wait… Captain MSD and his team has won the dream of each and every Indian. The ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 has came home after long wait.

The God – Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar has paid off for all his hard work and wait of long 21 years.
