I’d like to make a small announcement that this is Scribkin’s 100th post.  It’s been a long time coming, especially the last 20, but I finally made it.  I am definitely looking forward to writing 100 more!

I’d like to thank Colin Walker (FF), Sarah Perez (FF), Corvida (FF & Twitter), Steven Hodson (FF),  Louis Gray (FF), Shey Smith (FF) and Mike Fruchter (FF) among many many other great people for being enthusiastic about the development and direction of my site. 

Also, I’d like to thank SheGeeks, Google Tutor and LouisGray.com for giving me the opportunity to guest-post on their sites.  I consider it an honor and a responsibility when writing content for another site, I always try to do the best I can.

Finally, I’d like to say that I am receptive to requests for those who would like to try guest-posting here on Scribkin.  I know my site isn’t huge by any stretch, but everyone likes to see their name outside of their own blog, and you may reach a different group of folks than you might otherwise..

Let me know if you are interested!

I’ve been on a hiatus from blogging.  Hopefully, loyal readers of Scribkin didn’t miss me too much!  The first week after my last post, I tried to stay away from all the tools I have been using to keep up with social media stuff.  Basically, what I ended up doing is checking my email a lot and going to web sites that update frequently, like news.com, CNN and Engadget.

Good Morning scribkin readership!

If you operate a blog, and that blog supports sending a trackback, I have a simple request for you.  I have adjusted the trackback URL on this article to point to (what I think) the Disqus service will use.

Next time you post, please include a link to this article (no need to link to anything other than the standard article URL) and we will see if the Disqus trackback feature works as advertised.

Update: Post pulled for inaccuracy.  Sorry about that!  When it comes to stats I’m still learning.  Thanks to Louis for setting me straight.  However, FeedCompare is still a useful utility that you should check out.

I was re-reading yesterday’s post about RSS Reset and, since I included the live FeedBurner counters in my post, I noticed that many of them seemed slightly higher.  I decided to drop them in to FeedCompare and see the trending. …

I’ve never done a stats update, and I haven’t refined my tools at all, so this post will be a little rough. First, let’s start with the good news: For the first time, scribkin has over 100 feed readers!
