Dear Readers,
I am glad to inform everyone that I have moved my blog - it's not an actual movement but I've upgraded my blog to a new domain. Please use this address to visit this blog from now - http://rednepal.com
It took me a really long time to come up with this new address. I had thought of registering the new domain as nepalijournal.com but I felt it was a bit long. Besides, I felt non-Nepalese might have a hard time remembering this name because of the -i- between the two words. So I tried to get a shorter domain - newnepal.com, neonepal.com, nayanepal.com, merodiary,and goreto amongst many others.
None of these sites I tried to register had any contents. They were all filled up with advertisements and there was nothing related to Nepal in those sites. Also, most of these domains were up for sale. I realized that people were buying domains like these to resell the domain at a much higher price. I then reverted back to my original plan of using nepalijournal.com.
While I was about to checkout, I again thought of trying for one last time. So to choose a new domain I asked myself - What's best about Nepal? I remembered the childhood slogan that we all are asked to rote learn - Hariyo Ban Nepalko Dhan - meaning green forests are Nepal's riches. So, I thought of greennepal.com, but this seemed like a dull address. I thought I might be misleading people on thinking that this is an environmental blog. That moment the word red hit my brain.
REDNEPAL. This sounded like the best thing I could think of, given that almost every nice domain name had already been bought by internet pimps.
The name's significance arises from the fact that in Nepal the Maoists are currently in power. While they are trying to create a Red Nepal, a Communist Nepal, Rednepal.com is and will be against that idea.
Let's hope rednepal emerges as the winner!
Happy surfing everyone!

Haha!! I love the vanity shimmering in you guys. Funny? Interesting? Cool? Out of all the adjectives, you believe these three will encompass all of your articles? What if we, the readers, find few things you write complete BOGUS? Not that I have come across one recently but still, entertaining a likelihood of such occurance. In any case, quite a funny,cool and interesting new look on the page.
Thank you for your comment Anonymous. I've changed the adjectives, and I hope you will comment if the changes reflect what you thought.
The three words you refer to were the default blogger settings, and since I'd changed the layout and added those features just today, I didn't care enough to see if I could change them.
oh ! Great..And I like this layout as well...Go Ahead, we all are together... :)
a good one!
Keep kicking!
When I saw this name rednepal first time, I honestly thought this was one of the blogs supporting Maoists. Because that time Maoists were in power and many opportunistic people had started supporting them. But the contents were not like that. Today I read how you came up with this domain, now I am cleared about the purpose of it. Interesting!!
good blogging. keep it up.
well wisher.
The website looks very neat and professional. With some creation and proper set of techniques, a decent website can be created through Wordpress.
Good work, guys.
And, I am also very curious to know who are the two founders of this website.
Hahaha Digital Subway,
Thanks for your comment and suggestion. The two founders of the website are Da Vinci & Mahayoddha....Aile lai yeti bhane pugchha....
:)
Is this site strictly restricted to y'alls posts?
As much as I love this website, I also hate it for not having any section where other people can post their own articles.
Nevertheless, you have come a long way since the foundation of this website. Congratulations on that!!
Anonymous, since this site is modeled as a blog, it's hard to have a section for user articles apart from comments. Maybe you could email us your articles at rednepal@rednepal.com and we can have your articles there!
Sorry for the late reply. Hope this gets to you. And Happy New Year.
thanksss
