Well its been almost 6 months since johnknight.in was launched officially.  Some introspection needs to be done at this small little milestone that has been achieved. To the positives first.  The very idea itself should rank right up there cause there is no website which brings you happenings in and around the campus from the horses’(aka students) mouth. We got the most recent Rhodes scholar to blog about his extraordinary achievement. And now we have successfully manged to convince a professor to write accounts of his travels(thank u dr.bobby). oh and not to forget we have a jobless technical team headed by Jino, who experiments with the layout and format of the site to make it more appealing to the eye and easy for the hands on the mouse.
However we have failed to chive one of our goals. the goal to make it truly a campus blog. and that would happen when you ( yes, you who is reading this) takes some time out and decided to comment on the posts and also if you can take a little more time out and blog something you want. Like we said in our 1st post, this is the place to blog about anything and everything under the sun as long as it somehow remains connected even remotely to st.johns. we do hope that this goal will be achieved soon and we hope to take some steps to achieve it.
well after 2 weeks of slogging for prelims , u cant expect any better article. Till next time its adios from the johnknight.in team.

    The evolution to a full time campus blog would and should take some time. That is ideal.

    As from the technical side, I must say the growth of Johnknight.in has been quite steady over the past 6 months.
    We have been updating the blog with unique themes (@nitin – we are not jobless). We have got opinion polls and other stuff active in our blog now. As of today we have got a total of 67 registered users with 2 Administrators (myself and Mr. Kenny (a techie)), 2 Editors (Dr. Danny and Nitin), 8 Authors, 32 contributors and other subscribers.

    As per user stats from Google we have an avg of 20 absolute new visitors every day after we publish a new post. This is a really good number in terms of a campus blog. The percentage of visitors bouncing back to the blog is also really high.

    In another 6 months, I’m sure with this steady growth we will be recognized as one of the best campus blogs in the country and might attract a few recognitions and awards..

    Let us ensure Johnknight.in continues to grow in the same pace and let us once again proclaim: East or West, We John knights are the BEST !!!
