When we first made Tech Cores, back in November of 2008, it was really one man team. We’ve had Gerald and Marc join the team after that. But Tech Cores started to die down after a while because: 1) it was slow, 2) it needed a new design, and 3) it was hard to use (backend and frontend).

From that day on, one of my goals was to improve Tech Cores. I’ve spent a whole month coming up with a new design for the site and then developing that custom design. From my web experience, I was able to create a blog that has a vast amount of content while sustaining the loading time. Tech Cores is one of the fastest technology blogs out there. The huge issue with tech blogs is that we are “image happy” a lot of the time; we love to include lots of images in our posts. Because of this, I made it so that the Tech Cores theme, which was completely made from scratch, is a very small theme. The key of Tech Cores is to get the theme loaded quickly, then load the important stuff you want to see, the content. And unlike a lot of websites out there, our code is actually valid.

Because of the complete overhaul, I’m sure this helps people love Tech Cores even more. And you know what, we’re not stopping there. We will try to take Tech Cores as far as possible. After Ryan Schultz, Kennan Rolsen, and Jack Maxwell joined the team, the content on Tech Cores varies each day. But we’re also looking for more writers.

But that’s not all. The whole point of the blog post is what’s below. Below, there are two graphs that show how Tech Cores gained in popularity since day one. You might be able to figure out some of the “sparks” we had based on what happened during that time frame. I didn’t specify any Y (vertical) values because I do not want to release how many views we actually get. Instead, the graph will show you this without releasing that data to the public.

Throughout my whole life, I've always been so fascinated with technology. Quite some time ago, I started to pick up aspects on web development (HTML & CSS). After my intro to development with web-dev, I started to go into real programming. Right now, you can catch me working with Objective C for making apps for the iPhone! In other words, I'm a straight up hardcore developer and graphic designer (yup, all the graphics for the theme on Tech Cores are done by me).
