Google and China cat and mouse game continues. China did it again. Google services are partially or fully blocked in China. Including Google search, YouTube, Ads and many more Google services were blocked this Thursday.

Even Blogger, news, Google images, docs services were blocked resulting loss of revenue and important work for many people. Almost 67-100% of services are blocked. Only Gmail was available to the users which is quite understandable as many business relies on Google’s Gmail.

There is no word from Chinese government about the blockage of Google services. Google denied censoring products in China which created a big fuss and China blocked Google service completely.

Well, this is a formal announcement about the recent changes on geniusgeeks. GG was powered by my own custom theme. Later, it became somewhat difficult for me to manage my own theme and make changes to it as it was a time consuming process.

Thesis theme is well known for its SEO friendliness. Unfortunately, thesis theme needs some customization work which requires knowledge, skills and lots of time. Luckily, I found a thesis customization expert Simarandeep Singh of tricksdaddy.

Simarandeep managed to make a thesis clone of my own theme. He manages to make a custom theme within 2 days in spite of his busy work schedule. If you are looking for affordable thesis customization expert then you should consider hiring someone experienced like Simrandeep. Personally, I am a big fan of thesis and pliablepress theme. Hope to see some good result after using thesis theme on Geniusgeeks.
