* Firestats

I first noticed this plugin today .. while searching around for an invite to Virb.com .. on the Zzap Blog (aka Pearce from Australia).

Thanks to Zzap .. I have now received an invite .. plus a really cool statistics plugin!

At least .. it LOOKS cool. What I like the most is that in the comments .. it shows where the user is from, what browser he/she is using and what operating system the user was on. And I didn’t have to modify the template to add any code .. I just ticked a box in my dashboard firestat options.

* MyBlogLog - my PetLvr Member Profile

I was “HOT” for about 10 seconds yesterday February 24th .. probably because of my comment on their blog about limiting the joining of communities to 15 per day .. and my subsequent post about that

It started with a private message from Hans Chung of PostReach in my Ryze Network account .. and it made me look.

The concept is not new to me. On 62-151.com .. 1800HART.com/picks/ … CurlingBlog.com and The-Singers.com .. I’ve inserted code that shows visitors news headlines everyday when they show up to the site. No news is added to my archives or seen in the RSS Feeds, but for the few amount of people that do come by through their bookmarks, at least they will see something new - if I’m not current on my postings.

So - I am now testing the PostReach code on 8 of my sites .. all on the Battling-Series of blogs. Feel free to check them out .. (and hit refresh) .. to see what a Guest Post could look like. Maybe you might want to sign up too?

BOOOOOOOOOOO TO MYBLOGLOG

Source: mybloglogb.typepad.com/my_weblog/2007/02/mybloglog_knock.html

In order to reduce the practice of making contacts and joining communities just to spread their face around, we’ve instituted a limit of 15 community joins , 15 new contacts and 5 co-author requests in a day. Straight up, this is a quick-and-dirty approach and these numbers may not be the optimal numbers. We’re going to rely on you to help us tweak these over time so that it maintains a balance of usefulness to members while keeping people from trying to game the system to everyone’s detriment.

Lastly, and this wasn’t part of the original plan, we patched a stupid cookie hole that allowed people to impersonate other members. While you couldn’t use this exploit to gain access to other members’ accounts, you could show up on other sites as someone else. And that ain’t cool.

* I have upgraded from wordpress version 2.0.0 to wordpress version 2.1

I have successfully upgraded both Battling-Cancer.com blog and Battling-HeartandStroke.com blog simultaneously, without incident.

Although, I should say that I started just before dinner - and went to eat in the middle of the upgrade, then watched “The Amazing Race - All-Stars” before remembering that I was in the middle of TWO separate upgrades!

Wooops.. But, uh .. well they are both up and running now .. because “The Apprentice” was on next! :p

I thought I would just post a quickie note about this .. all that was wrong was the new wordpress version 2.1 structure for categories - they are now together in one table with the post categories and consequently, their ID# gets changed during the update.

For instance .. before, when I would have links for Canada under Category ID #1 ..

* I have upgraded from wordpress version 2.0.0 to wordpress version 2.1

I have successfully upgraded Battling-Addiction.com blog to the latest wordpress version 2.1

There are a few things that I have to still configure, like the Links page - but, this applies to all of these Battling-Series of blogs that I have updated and didn’t notice before.

I will fix this later in the week .. as this will be my last upgrade for a while .. offline work beckens me.
