Open Source, Social Media and Why We Love Both.
Posted by Rajesh Kumar
Last week my personal blog set up on WordPress seem to give some strange error messages on a white screen instead of the regular post. These messages had no reason to be there since I had not touched the code for ages. All my efforts seem to fail and I almost reconciled to having lost hundreds of posts. Not just that, I had a theme that I had customized to my liking.
At that point, I expressed my frustration on Twitter and Facebook on having lost my posts. In no time, I had suggestions coming in. I decided to give it a try. First I recovered the database with some effort. Then I managed to recover the content directory. In a matter of hours, I had deleted the old instance and recreated it with a newer version of WordPress. My blog looks as it was.
At Milagrow, we constantly espouse the need to harness Open Source software for the benefit of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. Not only that we impart user and application training sessions as well. Our corporate site is on Open Source Software as well(Drupal). We also encourage organisations to leverage social media for promotion. The Milagrow page on Facebook , Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn serve as precious communication channels to share what we are.
Besides that, we use the same WordPress for running this blog!
