I am pretty excited about taking part in April A to Z Challenge 2014 (signup here). This is going to be the first time when I would be continuously writing and blogging for 26 days. It’s like the preparations done before a festival. Cleaning up the widgets, fixing buttons, thinking about a theme, scheduling all posts … phew quite a lot, especially when you got to do this for three blogs. Blame it on the high caffeine intake.
So after pulling out my hair for almost a month I finally came up with a theme for this blog.
And it is… tadadaaaa…
Home Affairs of Elephant Warriors
(anything and everything that’s related with my Home, be it family, pets or the old rusting sofa).
I still haven’t scheduled my posts yet, but when you got to kick your sibling’s haughty asses, you don’t need to be prepared ๐
The first thing I did after deciding on the theme was to call up my sister and ask her if she did any blunder. I want every detail, did she slip and break all the test tubes? Did she break the thousand dollar laboratory machine? Did the cow kicked her again? Ahh it’s gonna be fun ๐
Do jump into my PoetryWagon, a rhythemic theme-reveal awaits you ๐
and Oh Snap!! My photography blog too ๐
Fixing up Widgets
I had spend hours and hours fixing the widgets and since I know what a pain it is, here are few tips:
1) Adding a PIN button would enable you readers to pin your pictures in Pinterest. For the code, please check here
2) A tweet button is just as important. Here’s the code which I added in my blog.
Replace
3) Made sure the Follow section is towards the top of the blog, preferable below the about me section. Easier for readers to follow.

Hope to see you all in April. Keep blogging.
Visiting for A-Z. Thanks for stopping in at my place earlier!
Hah! Great theme! I look forward to taking a peek into the window so to speak. Good luck in April!

Love the name of your theme and that you get to torture your siblings in the process! I'm married to an engineer…
Welcome to the A-Z Challenge! We wish you all the best. I don't see the A-Z badge…would you mind putting it up?
Thanks so much.

You certainly have your work cut out for you — good luck and looking forward to your posts.
Great idea, Rajlakshmi. Loving the phrase 'elephant warrior'! But you are brave – doing the challenge on all three blogs! ๐
See you on the Challenge trail.
Home and all things related is a good topic. Most everyone has a home, so I'm sure your posts will provide neat tidbits and inspiration for our daily lives. It is a pain to fix up our blogs, but it's also very much worth it.
