But this time, things are real. Top level domain better than sub-domain bullshit any day. Let me now explain what&#8217;s going on.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>New year:<\/strong> It&#8217;s 29th Dec, 2016 as I write this today. 2017 too close for comfort. Yeah, you&#8217;re welcome!<\/p>\n<p><strong>New look:<\/strong>\u00a0Well, WordPress just announced their new theme, Twenty Seventeen. Before switching to this, I was using Twenty Fourteen. Which also had a nice look, but made the block quoted text look ugly. And it&#8217;s significant to me as I share a lot of <a href=\"http:\/\/quora.com\" class=\"broken_link\">Quora <\/a>content, and they all get block quoted, which the twenty fourteen made into a dull grey colour with a grey vertical line running the entire length of the block quote on its left. Ugly as my 2nd ex!<\/p>\n<p>Oh and also&#8230; you saw the new video at the home page? Yeah! That&#8217;s a new feature introduced by WordPress in this new theme! So I got my hands dirty and boy does it look amazing! The video is 720p and only 7mb.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New URL:\u00a0<\/strong><em>abhinav.ga<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s so\u00a0named because I&#8217;m originally Abhinav Singh. The Singh when pronounced, sounds like the english &#8220;Sing&#8221; which translated to hindi is pronounced &#8220;Ga&#8221;. That means the present site url says Abhinav Sing(h). Cool right? Also, I got it free from this site\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/dot.tk\">http:\/\/dot.tk<\/a>. Although it says only .tk domain can be registered free, actually there are 5 different TLDs that are free to rent for a year. After which, renew your rent for another year. It&#8217;s that simple.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New goodness:<\/strong> That&#8217;s because our 2nd year theory papers at KMC just finished today with the last paper being Forensic. And as I type this, I&#8217;ll tell you this! I&#8217;ve been awake now for 22 hours straight. That too the sleep before that was 4 hours long! Damn that exam was scary. At least the preparation was. Heck! So I&#8217;m enjoying myself after customising and moving this site to its own domain. At least new year&#8217;s day will be exam free! Plus&#8230; I&#8217;ve been in the exam phase since 10th November. And they will finish on 12th Jan. But this crucial gap in the middle of exams&#8230; worth it!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Alright then! I&#8217;m done with this blog post. I don&#8217;t generally make a personal themed post.
