Elliott Back created a list of RPC and RPC2 services to ping, in addition to Ping-o-Matic. WordPress 2.0 (release candidate) is out, so I’ve verified that, by default, the list of services to ping still includes only Ping-o-Matic. This additional list, copied on Dec 28, 2005, should prove useful. These are all general-purpose; you can copy and paste the whole list, if you wish. I will add to (merge) this list as I find others.
I turned off Themed Ad Units because I didn’t like the way they looked. They were shown on pages randomly. When I had multiple ad units, they would theme one of the units and not the other. On some loads, neither were themed. The problem was that the themed ad units had specific colors, including a colored border (while I usually use borderless ads). I liked the little pictures, but unfortunately it’s not fine-tunable. So today, December 26, 2005 at 1:57 AM, I turned them off. Let’s see how it affects the stats, if any. Although that might also be affected by the holiday season and Christmas. I’ll have to continue testing.
I’ve realized that I am managing too many websites. Does some aspiring web developer want to take one off my hands? Any earnings while you’re managing the site are yours, of course. And if I have any plans to take back control, I promise to tell you at least three months in advance. I will pay for hosting and domain registration. All I ask is that I can link my sites together. You’d be in charge of everything for your website, including promotion, development, design, etc. You can do whatever you want with it. And I’ll be here for you to consult when questions arise. Some websites are not developed at all (just domain name and idea at this point), while some have a small beginning. Post a comment if interested.
Merry Christmas, everyone! Let’s celebrate and have a party. Actually, I think I will be going to a party or something. Whatever it is, I’m sure it’ll be great. It’s a wonderful holiday and a great time to reflect on the blessings God has given us. In any case, I hope you’re having great time during this season.
Today I registered the domain sizzly.info with NamePros.com. I need to keep track of these things. I’m starting to neglect some websites while focusing too much on others.
I recently was handed a DreamWriter 100 to fix for use by an elementary school class. It looks like this:
