Did some small updates to the site!

Added Two more banners to the top of the site with the Google+ badge. Did this because many advertisers asks for it but I don't like to fill the site with ads... What to do...

Now this might interest you... Changed the Comment system from Disqus to Livefyre! It's a brand new comment system which have several great features. The things we liked :

- It pulls conversations done outside the site into the comment area. For example, Facebook page comments, Twitter mentions...

- Its a full do follow comment system. Search engines can see the comments and you can benefit from that!

- Its a real-time comment system!

Since problems started to crawl into my head, I didn't even touched the internel part of the site. No fixes, no updates, no features.... Now, things are going to change...

According to the previous partner list, we used KnownHost as our host and Hostgator as our domain registrar. We ditched those two months ago.

Ditched Knownhost because I think they don't have enough security on their servers! Got a lot of attack alerts... We moved to Servint several months ago and I think they are the perfect host for us. Have more security and also have more powerful hardware!

We also ditched Hostgator because they are not good when handling domains (still) and moved to NameCheap.

Today I have removed Knownhost and Hostgator from the list and have added VaultPress (Yep, we are using it!) and Servint! Might add Namecheap and the others in the next major update! :D

In July we made a major update to our servers. During that update, a small mistake in the server configurarions have prevented Feedburner from pulling latest topics from our RSS feed. Just now we fixed it and everything is back to normal! Now you'll recive updates from us as usual!

Well, on Saturday, we moved our DNS to Namecheap. Before moving to the VPS, we used cloud flare. After moving, we disabled it, but left it to reolve our dns. But, on saturday, we moved to Name Cheap's DNS. Thats why the site went down for some people. More control and good support!

We have just moved our growing site to a brand new VPS at KnownHost. Now the site is much faster than before and we have the full control on its server. So, with the help of the host, we have fully customized the server for TH. Actually, this customization took several weeks :D But now, things are stable!

We have also got a brand new partner! Dulitha Wijewantha is our newest partner! A young man from Sri Lanka and a great java programmer! Well, a growing organization needs help.. So, you'll see more people workng on TH really soon!

Today we are doing some big changes to our blog! We are about to go from TechHamlet 9.1 to TechHamlet 10.0! The new version should be much more faster because we designed most of the site by our selves.. The new site is powered by the Thesis Framework and customized by us! So, sit back and wait while we put up the new design..

Want to have a look at the new version? Head over to http://new.techhamlet.com/ to take a peek at the beta version!

Update : We are back! From today onwards TechHamlet will be fully functional as usual!

Both the main writers of TechHamlet.com are going to take a big vacation for about 11 days! We will be visiting India (Specially Buddhagaya) during our vacation. So, we are going to leave the country tomorrow (6th) morning and will return on the 16th!

But don't worry.. Everything is set and you will get new posts from Tech Hamlet everyday (except for Sundays)! The posts are written and scheduled carefully so that TechHamlet.com will be live and kicking as usual!

So, see you guys after the vacation! Bye!!!
