New feature: Viewcount

Stutimandal poems have a new feature, viewcount, which tells how many times a particular poem has been viewed. It is marked as "Lifelong view count is ..." at the bottom of the poem page. We plan to incorporate this information into tags as well, so that viewers can use popularity to select which poems to read.

The count has started only with the new version of Stutimandal. Some day, we may add the score of old poems to make things look practical. The most read poem is Hanuman Chalisa (no surprises!).

Suggest any ideas that you might have regarding these counts.

New feature: Video links

We have a new icon for Videos. If we will find suitable online-video of any poem at Stutimandal, we will hotlink it. The video icon appears after the translation. So far about five videos have been linked. If you have a suggestion for videos, feel free to write to us.

And do remember to check the video of Madhurashtakam. It is an amazing treat to the eyes. Once again, scroll to the end of translation for the video icon.

New browser called FLOCK

We discovered a new browser called FLOCK. It is unique, in our opinion. Here are some salient points:

1) The best feature is customization. In only a few hours, we could customize which sites we login, whether to save passwords there, which RSS feeds are our favorites, which accounts should the browser remember, and so on. This feature is unique across all browsers. No other free browser supports all these desirable features.

2) Aesthetics quality is high. The buttons, the color themes, the tabs, etc. are very beautifully designed.

3) It is based on Firefox core, and therefore, it is expected to be robust and that's how it seems so far to us.

4) DOM and CSS methods are supported well enough.

5) It renders Stutimandal well. Need we ask for more!

We highly recommend the browser for usage.

Bookmarks disabled

We have disabled the bookmarks currently, because most of the links under new pages section are temporary and they will be moved to their permanent location in a few months. We will add the bookmark feature after that. This is solely for your convenience.

Thank you for your patience.
