  2. Today I have completed another important milestone this is 650th post I am writing and still going on. My passion for blogging never dropped I will still continue to write blog on my blog.
On this occasion, I would first like to thank my family who scarifies their time when I am writing blogs without their encouragement It would never possible to write blog and maintained it for almost 8 years.
I would also like to thank my readers. Without their love It would not have been possible to achieve this. Hopefully I will continue to write blog that will help you learn technology in some way.
