This post has multiple points; lets get to it…

As you know, I do a DSWM link round-up each month in case you’re new and missed or old and forgot (now there’s a play on words). There wasn’t a lot this month, but a few good points still relevant…

Google-Feedburner/CommentLuv Snafu - The Solution (27) - If you’re wondering why the plugin is not showing your latest link.

New Comment Policy - You Want To Read This (76) - Always a good idea.

Twitter Gone! (54) - Account deleted but not forever.

Guest Bloggers Wanted/Needed Right Here (33) - Hellooooo, anyone home?

Your Thoughts Are Wanted On My Other Two Blogs (15) - One post on each blog that could use your input.

Top Commenter Contests - Officially Speaking… (29) - Revealing my new Rules & Tips page.

———————————–

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.”

Some of you golden oldies may remember this. Back in June ‘08 I announced a new feature here; a link love style post at the end of each month highlighting the best posts from the previous month. This serves three purposes…

1. A reminder to those that read it, but may be looking for it.

2. An obviously handy feature for new readers (at least 1 month new).

3. Very handy dandy internal linking for the blog owner (me in this case).

The problem was, I was disorganized, or too busy, or falling apart, or or or or whatever…I only did two. The first was a little lengthy, as I did all the best posts from the beginning, November ‘07 through June. I missed July and August completely, due to an unfortunate accident, and finally remembered again in October.

And that as they say was that.

Howdy ho everyone! This isn’t totally necessary since I mentioned most things in yesterdays post, but since this is a contest for February and this is the 1st….let’s rock! Sponsors/Prize list coming soon.

Sponsors now being accepted for March.

You’ll want to read yesterdays post also, if you haven’t already; there’s some stuff in there besides what’s to do with the title.

Enjoy your Sunday! Who’s having a party? (Or had a party if you’re reading this late.)

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 .

Hello and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!

OK that takes care of the mandatory new year post, so lets get to the good stuff! As you know by now (or maybe you don’t), this is the first of 12 Top Commenter Contests. The Wordpress plugin is in and working fantabulously! (Although the tweaking took me to nearly 2am, but I digress).

Prizes from me and looking for sponsors:

Each and every month I am personally putting forth a minimum $10 via Paypal (including pp fees & possibly more cash/stuff).

I am also always on the hunt for contest sponsors. You can sponsor 1-2-3…up to all 12 months! (Say it with me now…..E-X-P-O-S-U-R-E) This will also give opportunities for multiple winners. Contact me.

I’m VERY HAPPY to announce we already have one sponsor for this month! Damn that was fast, huh? There is value in contest sponsorship folks .

Happy Halloween! Past Present or Future, depending when you read this; I won’t be posting tomorrow

I realize I promised this to be a monthly thing here when I started it in June, sorry about that.

With so many things happening, not the least of which, my sudden yet unavoidable 2 month disappearance, it just hasn’t happened…I’ll try much harder from here on

For those too lazy, hehe, to click the link above, this is where at the end of each month I do a round up of the best of the best posted here during that month.

Just in case you missed or forgot anything juicy Now let’s dig into those archives! (All links should open in a new window.)

JULY (Slow month)
