there is a fine line between agile and fragile
I've installed a Wordpress plugin that enables the usage of OpenID authentication when posting comments. Please let me know if this causes any problems, although I don't suspect it will.
If this breaks commenting, I'm not sure how you are supposed to tell me though...
I've spent a few nights now redesigning the site. I decided to make it live tonight, and work through the kinks in the next few days. It's based on Gentle Calm theme by Phu Ly. Truly a great starting point.
More details to come later.
Feedback appreciated as usual.
The 2006 Bloggies are now taking nominations, but I must say that some of the people nominating must be on acid, or something equally destroying to the mind. Of all the categories available, I think my site can only compete for the "Best Tagline of a Weblog" category (Thanks Cole :) ), but there are others that are most definately better. Seriously, I have nothing to do being even considered a nominee for a bloggie. Get Real Tony!
I've been testing the alpha version of Measure Map for 4 days now. So far it's doing a pretty good job of displaying interesting statistics for this site.
It gives you statistics of number of vistors, how popular your posts are, search queries and the lot. The real strength in Measure Map is the way it presents the data though. Stylish, snappy and generally very well presented. Since this site gets a lot of traffic thats not directly related to my Wordpress install I still need a supliment like Awstats to gather the real amount of traffic I get, but as a quick glance view of how your blog is "performing" it does a pretty darn good job.
Ok, so I'm not quite ready for World Domination just yet afterall. Still Measuremaps way of showing where your traffic is coming from is pretty neat.
Conclusion? It's nice, flashy, fun and all good. I wish there was a way for it to analyze traffic thats not going through the Wordpress Index Page, Posts and Comments though, but since this is an online tool and not a log file analyzer it's very hard for it to do so. I love it as an addition to my Awstats though!
