Balkhis Sweet Monday Link Roundup 2/2/09
Another Monday is here. Woot Woot. Glad to say that today Balkhis is 1 year old. Yeah no special party for that. I will do one though when it turns 5 year old. Anyways, Life is going good so far. I made a digg account, hit the FP the first day then ended up getting banned. Digg said that I obtained false diggs or some BS which was lame because I only had 47 friends and only 38 were mutual. So I couldn’t have obtained fake diggs. I didn’t submit my own article either, it was some other article from cnn.
Aside from that we are looking for sponsors for a Break Dancing event in Gainesville, that will be attracting over 5000+ audience. I know I am sponsoring it. Red Bull is sponsoring it. I have sent emails to few other companies and waiting to hear from them, but if you guys want your logo in a pamphlet that is being hand out all over University of Florida then contact me. Donations of a large amount also get to put their banner on the stage. We are looking for either cash prizes, or materials equivalent value that will interest Hip Hop Industry.
Pittsburgh Steelers won their 6th superbowl most ever by a single franchise. Amazing game.

Hey, I am Syed Balkhi, The guy who is behind Balkhis Inc. I entered the industry back in 2002 not knowing a single thing. I barely spoke English at that time. In the past six years, my language barrier has been eliminated. Aside from English, now I also speak html, and php. Along with the languages I have also managed to master a few arts. Art of web-designing started when I first entered. Messing around with photoshop, I learned how to create my first web design. Now I founded a web designing firm Uzzz Productions. After running numerous amount of websites in various niche, I have mastered the art of web-development. Now I am compiling a resource of what I already know, and what I am learning on this blog. This resource is to help me if I ever need a guide to look back to, and it is help my fellow webmasters.
Congratulations on your anniversary and tough luck with Digg. I hope that you are able to sort it out. Anyway, as you know, I am not a great fan of Digg and I am willing to bet that you will survive without them.
Haha yes I will survive without them. I know people who will digg for me if my article is worthy
That is the spirit. I like your attitude. Keep it up. Your fans will not let you down.
I’m glad you enjoyed my guest post on thoushallblog.com. I wanted to to look at blogging from a different perspective.
He’s not the only one.
I thoroughly enjoyed it too – hope to see more guest posts from you around the blogosphere
Some nice links there, especially the 404 error pages design! Thanks!!
Hey Syed, if any of your break dancing teams need custom t-shirt, hoodies or anything else you should have them check me out. I sell custom apparel, put their own logo and/or artwork on the shirt. We have the best prices around too.
Email me with your rates.
Congratulations on your 1 year anniversary. May you have many more. The superbowl was great, Im glad Pittsburgh won, also those are some nice links I like the one with the 404 custom design pages, they are all really original and great.
I haven’t moved my feedburner account yet. I think I have to do that now.
Get to front page of Digg after you register? wow
I guess that is why Digg thought that you were cheating the system (since you were new)
It is not a hard task. You just need to submit on the right time, and have the right friends active.
I am eager to congratulate both Balkhises I mean the bogger and his blog on the ocasion of their first anniversary and the achieved successes and gained popularity. So glad to get to know about future plans and planned events.I think break-dancing is cool.I wish you every a success!
Happy Birthday, but that is really weird about DIGG. If you get to the bottom of it, be sure to let us know.
BTW, thanks for the links; these sound especially interesting: Designs of 404 Error Pages

Congrats on the anniversary. Sucks about Digg but Reddit is better imo anyway.
That post on photoshop definitely saved me lotsa trouble. Just completed a mini course on PS and glad to get something extra here..

I have noted down some of the plugin you used here on this blog. I wish it will help me get maximum out of WP.
