Summary for the Week Ending September 23rd, 2007

Date September 24, 2007

This week I made some minor changes to the blog, expanding that right sidebar so that I could fit the Blog Rush Widget on it. I also re-arranged some ads and the other widgets. Visually it wasn’t much of a change.

I’m not sure what happened, but this week I joined a whole slew of web services. Jango, Last.FM, Rescue Time, and Clicky Stats.

Of course, WordPress 2.3 comes out today, so that should eat up a little of my posting time this week.

The Mumbler has been on me to start using tags, and ultimate tag warrior, but I have resisted. I guess one of the big features in WordPress 2.3 is tag support. Although it will require a theme update to support it. I seem to find that sites view my categories as tags, so I’m not terribly excited about that feature.

We’ve started having some cooler weather lately, which reminds me that Winter is coming up. Time to get my Jeeps Winterized, and get my house ready. I’ve heard that during the Summer, there is a slump in blog readers, so I’m curious to see what happens in the next couple of months when it comes to my readers.

      last.fm is way cool - I’m up to almost 18,000 tracks scrobbled. I don’t use many of the social features, but I love looking through my stats.

      If you’re a firefox user, check out some of the greasemonkey scripts that are available - they offer some really cool functionality.

      I will. I installed it on my work machine, and I just don’t have much in the way of music there. I usually play songs from my iPod. I’ll have to install it on my home machine.

      I think there is a plugin that will allow you to sync what you listen to on your iPod with your last.fm stats

      I’m pretty sure is syns off of iTunes. iTunes syncs your play counts off of the iPod.

      I installed it on my home machine this morning, so it should start tracking.

      Thanks Scott
