After a lot of thinking about my blogs, I finally came to conclusion that I should narrow the topic range of my blog for better user attention and more visibility. Therefore I changed my blog title and is currently making a juggling in the contents. Though, I would really love to preserve all the previous posts, they will be a little awkward to access; but not all the posts will be put back that way; only those that are relevant to my present context, will be placed here in a sorted order;

I have narrowed down the content categories from ‘technology and gadgets’ to ‘Make Technology  & Handheld Devices More Usable’. Alongside, I can still put the latest device, accessories and service announcements in the blog as they all are relevant to the the blogs main content. So, if you want to know how to make the most out of your devices, keep in touch with bluerayer.

I’d really love to serve you for the matter.
