The Site
Computer Realm was created on the 10th of October 2007 with the aim of providing solutions to everyday problems with computers, reviews for various products and services, and tips regarding different aspects about computers.
It started as a free hosting service by Blogger at c0mpstuff.blogspot.com (‘o’ with a zero that is). So as you can see it was started without much thought of actually making it big. With the response it received, on December 17th 2007 it was moved to a custom domain under Blogger itself thereby acquiring the name Computer Realm.
The change wasn’t easy typically because the name of the site was changed, all banners used had to be recreated, all places where the title was mentioned had to be changed to the new title, Computer Realm that is.
Approximately two months after the transition was complete, I realized I needed more flexibility and functionality both for my readers and for the blog, a few examples would be to display related posts, random posts on the sidebar, social bookmarking buttons, a better theme and so on. With that in mind it was moved to Wordpress. I decided to go for the self-hosted Wordpress.
On February 12th 2008 I initiated the transfer to Wordpress. Around a week later, the transfer was complete and I am now finally satisfied with the layout and functionality that the blog provides.
Today I am inching along towards a hopefully ‘to be’ high traffic blog with thousands of loyal readers.

The Author
Hello, my name is Luqmaan. I am the guy behind this blog. I love computers, the Internet, Software, Tech and that’s what led to this blog. I also know a bit of programming in the most basic programming language which is BASIC that is..:)…you can take a look at my software products here.
After I published my software, I wanted something else which was web-related to keep me occupied. So I started an IT forum on that same software domain. It was doing well and got to around 200 members pretty quickly, but just as it started getting popular it got spammed big time and I realized I didn’t have time to maintain the forum. So I dissolved
The forum and thought of something easier to manage and then the golden word popped into my head…”BLOG”, and so I started it.
Over the years I’ve tested tons of software and tried several services online and so I decided to start this blog and post all my experiences, opinions, tips and tricks and solutions to various problems and technical issues that I have come across.
