Have you been experiencing the same issues I have? For the past week or two or more I’ve been bitchin’ all over the sphere about bloggers CommentLuv plugins not picking up my last post. In fact, it kept picking up the post about, Google alerts, which at the time of this writing is more then 10 posts back.

Oh yea, really frustrating. Alas! Thanks to Andy Bailey, the tireless/fearless creator of this awesome Wordpress plugin, I have the solution! And, well yea, it was my fault. Oops.

The following solution is in Andy’s words, assuming you’ve had your Feedburner feed switched to Google,

“Visit commentluv.com and log in, go to the claim your site page and see if it still has your old feedburner url in the feed field. If it has, change it over and see if that does it.”

Woot! Here it is! Those times of screaming Oh Crrrrrap! are gone .

As promised when I published the arrival of threaded comments, I have just installed the WP-Ajax-Edit Comments plugin, for users of Wordpress 2.5 or higher.

A big thank you to Sire for turning me on to this one after asking him what was compatible with commentluv. He wrote a whole post about it just for little ‘ol me! (Well, and other curious readers I suppose.)

I don’t know about others, but this plugin is awesome with a whole mess of features for both users and admin. Very cool indeed.

Anyhoo, that’s enough for the plugin sales pitch, lets get down to serious business. Hehe.

We all make comment mistakes with the slap of the forehead wishing against all hope to be able to fix it. What I want to know is, do you have a usual mistake…..one or two things that you goof on CONSTANTLY.

An important question awaits on EasyCashContests!

Now here’s a post MANY of you have been waiting for! As discussed before, I was waiting so patiently for WP 2.7 to arrive for it’s integrated threaded comment capability…so I wouldn’t have to add an unnecessary plugin.

However, due to personal preferences and paranoias I decided I will not be upgrading for a bit; so the search was on! A big thank you to John Collins from Affiliate Money Tips for turning me on to this Threaded Comments plugin.

It was a toss-up between this and Brians Threaded Comments, which appears to be the most popular. My main selling point for this one was no theme tweaking, just upload and activate. (Brians requires an upload of a new comments.php file which was not attractive to me.)

I haven’t fiddled with any of the really cool settings, features and options yet, but I wanted it announced ASAP! I know you’ve been patient .

We’re back in business baby!

As it turns out, it was my Social Bookmarks plugin that did the dirty deed! Apparently it uses the scriptalicious library which is known to interfere with jquery.

I installed that just one day before installing the other 2 plugins I mentioned. After hearing this, I did go back over the comments in between and noticed only a couple had CL links attached.

I suppose it started failing immediately and ended completely around the time the other two were installed. Oops, but a good assumption at the time.

I’m not sad the other two are gone though, they were giving me issues on their own as well.

Now I have to look for another social icon plugin that does not use either scriptalicious or effects.js.

Any ideas? Ah well, I’m just happy as a clam to have my comment baby back! (I know you are too )

Hello everyone,

By now some of you have begun to notice that my CommentLuv plugin is out of action. I’m sorry, I was really hoping to have it working before too long.

This is also why I haven’t responded to comments in the past day or so, which I’m going to get to right after this post; here’s what I think happened…

I installed one plugin that was meant to clearly show backlinks of what blogs were linking to what post within this blog.

Very cool I thought as it is much clearer then looking at trackbacks. I also installed a 2nd companion plugin who’s sole purpose is to help the first plugin work.

As far as I can tell, one or both of these did a serious screw job on my inner workings and took out CommentLuv…..so far I don’t see any other problems, which I suppose is a really good thing.

Well, there’s not much to add to that, except to ask several followers - happy now? I am!

Also to any other 4yo techies - get this plugin, oh my god is it super simple and works like a charm!

I have mine set to back-up once daily, as I figured every hour was a little TOO paranoid LOL.

In conclusion to what’s probably my shortest post ever, I ask…Do you back-up your blog? What do you use and how often do you use it?

Never stop pushing forward!

In my ever vigilant effort to make a clean looking AND user-friendly Blog for everyone here, I am trying one more plugin to try and get the combination of post snippets on-site, while having full feeds go through the feed.

if you recall, I first attempted the Full Feed plugin and it was a disaster. I then thought it would just be best to change the look of the Blog a bit, and publish full posts.

Neither you nor I liked that very much.

When suddenly…..on one of my blog commenting escapades I ran across Colin King, a true geek :-). A great guy, a real swell fella; seriously.

I was conversing my woes to him and he told me of (or reminded me of) the Optional Excerpt right here in the WP ‘write’ admin. I had seen it many times of course, but never knew what it was for.

UGH! Broken links everywhere. Is there anything more annoying to a site owner?!?!? Not only that, but you can easily lose business; perhaps a LOT of business depending on the circumstances.

If it’s a blog you can very easily lose readers if they find too many broken, non working links. Reader loss could quite possibly mean revenue loss, both in the present AND future…most will never return.

Think especially of new readers full of hope, glee and anticipation in finding a new blog in their niche of choice…what a let down. Not to mention how unprofessional it looks, especially if it’s more then 1 or 2 links.

You also have to be aware of the SEO ramifications that can occur due to too many broken links. Search engines, especially Google will not appreciate it…not one bit. Links, incoming outgoing and internal are the backbone of Google ranking.

Every blogger wants to know the one and only true *secret*. “How do I know what my readers want to read?” The simplest and best way is to just let them tell you.

Learn a very cool, easy and free way to connect with your readers and learn EXACTLY what they want…

It’s called Skribit and allows you very simply to find out exactly what your readers want to read…no magic involved.

It’s an awesome looking tool for gathering and prioritizing the marketing topics you want me to write about here on D.S.W.M.

The whole idea is that YOU as a reader can now add your questions/suggestions right on the widget and also vote up the ones that others have added. This in turn helps me know which are the main questions or concerns y’all may want me to address.
