Thankyou for making me feel like a cretin just after honouring me with a link. I have been able to crack just one code so far, the most obvious one. Clue no. 11 - needle in a __. Hope to make more headway over the weekend.
In my opinion, a couple of entries filled in would probably give us more motivation. But hey, it's your blog, keep it the way you want. I'm prone to giving free advice, you know.
PS - I see that you noticed the change in name. Gosh you've been visiting my blog for a long time!

I must own that I've not 'been visiting' your blog for long... I revisited it after a hiatus of months, and yet found it scarcely updated.
Yes, clue # 11 was a deliberate giveaway. All right, I'll disclose one answer: 'PRESERVE', for clue # 18. I would rather not prefer to have answers published here... So, if you care, you may send the answers you cracked to chinnumon@gmail.com, and I'll give you the rest.
