I’ve got a few blog related things I want to highlight so I figured I’d combine them all into one post.
First thing I want to talk about is Miskan. Those of you who’ve been following the blog from the very beginning will know that 248AM started because of my Miskan project. That project ended years ago and so I felt it would be a great idea to resurrect it again. This is why starting today Miskan has been relaunched as the Arabic version of 248AM. www.miskan.com
The second thing I want to highlight is 248PM. It’s not new since it’s been up for awhile now but I’ve never really was sure if it should be a separate blog or if it should be part of 248AM. Well I’ve realized it should be separate for two reasons, the first is because it’s harder and more challenging for me to fill up 248AM with posts related to Kuwait. I’m worried if I start posting non-Kuwait stuff here I might get lazy and not bother looking for Kuwait related posts as much. The second is because 248PM is kinda like my personal space where I post whatever I want and not get bashed by you guys if something is lame. It’s a place where I have a lot of fun and I like that. www.248pm.com
The third blog is for events. When I was previously posting events on 248AM it was hard to keep track of what events were coming up. Since there really isn’t that much going on in Kuwait I felt it was important to dedicate a blog just for that. There are a bunch of other great event blogs out there but mine is filled only with ones I find interesting. www.248events.com
You can access all my blogs above from the tabs underneath the blog header. With 248PM and Events you can even see the latest posts in the side bar of 248AM.
Finally I just updated the Kuwait Blogs app again a few days ago. I’m planning to do this more often since a lot of blogs aren’t posting as much or their content has changed and I no longer find them interesting. By updating the App often it stays current so check the App Store for the update or download it by searching for Kuwait Blogs in the store.
Enjoy!

I think that’s a good move with making Miskan an Arabic version of 248am. I won’t be visiting it but it’s good to see you catering to people who would prefer to or only can read in Arabic.
thanks, i doubt any 248AM readers would check it out because as you said its catered to people prefer or only can read in Arabic. It’s for that reason I’m curious to see how it turns out, it’s a completely new audience which makes it exciting.
Welcome back Miskan 🙂
oh by the way i am starting another blog soon for news/events/press releases thing 🙂
one blog cant handle all these things together
Note: in Miskan you will reply in Arabic or English (cough) 🙂
and do you actually type it out yourself or use something to translate it?
I’ve got someone who translates it for me
Damn son
I had 248news for press releases and stuff but this morning I decided to kill it.
Excellent 🙂
oh why?
didn’t fit the style of the blog
Yeah that’s why you need it on another blog (not attached to the current one)
would be nice if you could add a “perma link” or whatever you call that, regards to stuff/legal procedures you’ve done so far / you know.
i.e. where to go and what to do clearing your items from customs, checking violations, travel bans, etc…
just a suggestion.
+1 for the blue and grey headers.
Now if only someone could make a browser plug-in that will change the ‘magenta’ here 😉
Any plans to optimize the app for iPad?
Actually yes, I’m hoping to use the income from the advertising in the iPhone app to pay for an iPad version.
And what about the Android? I know you spoke in the negative about creating an app for the platform a while back, but surely you have gotta change your mind? On average, I’d say there are more Android users than iPhone users. Or is it some other reason?
