Sorry about the long hiatus between posts on this blog.. I definitely have a couple of reviews and primers that I plan on getting out this week. Also, with a little luck I will have a guest post, which is exciting! I have actually had a few developments ...
I've been sitting on this information for a little while now, but I noticed that my first article, Gmail error 102, has been published -- so now it is official! I am going to be a regular contributor to Google Tutor! Since I am relatively new to blogging, ...
Just a heads-up, I have enabled FeedBurner and all the associated goodies on my site. The plugin should take care of redirecting the current RSS URLs to FeedBurner, so in theory you don't need to do anything further in order to continue getting the quality blog entries you have ...
In my last post I asked the question, "how can I show how many comments my entries have in my feed?" I actually sent an email to TechDirt (since I read their feed and it has that feature) and Dennis Yang (who is on Twitter too!) wrote me a very ...
I am seriously considering switching to using Feedburner for my blog and comment feeds. This will allow people to subscribe via email without and special work on my part, as well as give me statistics and the possibility of feed ads down the road.
What I would REALLY like, is ...
Along with the many tweaks that I can't prevent myself from doing every day to my blog (I'm hoping this tapers off after a while, actually), I realized that I had turned off allowing people to comment unless they were logged in to the site. For some reason, when ...
I decided to take the plunge late last night (or early this morning, either way) and upgrade my WordPress install to version 2.5. It was actually a complete non-event. First, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Dreamhost had a one-button upgrade process to the new version already ...
I did a little theme browsing and I found one that I think I will stick with for a while. It is called Silver Light and it is created by Bob of Blogohblog. It really is much cleaner than my last theme and all of my existing plugins integrate well. ...
I'm up late tweaking this site again. Ok, so I've been up late almost every night this week but, hey, I'm excited about it. In any case, you should notice that I've pulled most of the ads I had up initially. I wanted a cleaner look and ...
I switched from using AddToAny to ShareThis today. But let's back up. Why am I using a service like this anyway? Well, personally I don't like the "social bookmark" banner at the bottom of a lot of blogs - I think it looks cluttered. However, I ...
Over the weekend I spent probably too much time tweaking the appearance of this blog. I installed and tweaked a select list of WordPress plugins, got my Google ads set up the way I want them, etc. Actually, I could just do this for days -- partially because time just ...
I knew this would happen. I have gotten sucked into the tantalizing world of WordPress plug-ins, to the exclusion of writing content for the site. In the future, I will have to prioritize blogging over tweaking.
Hi and welcome! The goal of this blog is to track new social media, blogroll and mashup sites and write reviews on them. Hopefully, this will help you get a better idea of what kind of things to expect when you are looking for the perfect feed or ...
