Website Maintenance News

By Kshitij Sharma, January 30, 2015

Readers,

Believe me, it is not easy to maintain any website – be it astrology website or any other website for that matter. It requires quite a lot of administration effort and for someone like me who has a regular job, it is quite difficult to both maintain the website as well as to devote time to Astrology. Therefore, it wears me out sometime.

I have tried out outsourcing such tasks to others, but it just doesn’t work. While India is seemingly a country with endless supply of software engineers, quality software engineers are extremely difficult to find and engage. I have therefore decided to not ask for help and keep doing this on my own. The frequency of articles will suffer, but so be it.

I have therefore decided to extend my help to fellow astrologers in helping them to fix problems with some of the websites. I have had good amount of experience with design, WordPress, load testing and database maintenance. I have moved from Godaddy to a nondescript domain provider to Amazon Web Services and have had problems everywhere. I am again evaluating if I should move back to Godaddy. I have moved from frontend applet to backend programming in Java and now to PHP. I have gained quite a lot of experience through self learning, much like Astrology itself. Therefore, please let me know if you need any help and I will help you with my best abilities.

All of this happens on a shoestring budget because the website is free and because there is no guaranteed source of income through advices and fees.

If the AWS remains error free and I am able to resume writing with the pace in the past, I will finish the following:

  • Signs in astrology – along with Ascendant/Rashi description and results of planets in various rashis
  • Finish description of remaining nakshatras
  • Finish description of remaining planets in Vedic Astrology
  • Yoga list
  • Enhancements in Horoscope Generator Application that are coming soon
    • All of the above will then be added to the birth horoscope generation application in order to provide a quick view into the qualities of individual horoscope.
    • Add Image to depict North Indian and South India Style Kundali
    • Recommended first letter of name as per the Nakshatra – this will help parents of new born babies.
    • List of Yogas – e.g. Panchamahapurusha yoga, Lakshmi Yoga, Dhana/Nirdhana yoga applicable to the horoscope
  • Panchanga and daily positions of planets in the sky

Thanks for all your support for the years. The best of the website is still to come!
