I wrote a post yesterday for hurolinan.com (my first) about RSS metrics, and how RSS has changed. A lot of the post is about Feedburner (Which I wrote about here). I actually forgot to mention the whole Feedburner Pro thing (ie its free!). A few components of Pro are included in the post though.
While I was writing it I accidentally pressed publish. Wow, that’s annoying! I need a plugin that takes me to a preview page when you press publish. Maybe even waits a few minutes before showing it to anyone but me. Even one that just reminds me to add a “read more” link would be good, because that is amazingly easy to forget.
I also upgraded three blogs to Wordpress 2.5.1. Apparently it was an important security update. That is such a scary thing to do. On this blog, I use the Automatic Upgrade plugin, which takes most of the scare out of it. That doesn’t work on the work blogs though, for some reason, so they are manual..
Then I got to work this morning, and logged into Google Analytics to see how my post was going. Wow, the lowest traffic to the site I had ever seen! Great! Turns out there was server maintainance. Thanks a lot for telling me, hosting company. :(. A few hours later, I found two other websites (that I am fairly involved with), also both down, one showing a “parked domain” page - that looks like bad news, maybe an expired domain. These sites were completely unrelated. Just a lot of down sites on one busy morning, by coincidence. As of now, one of those (hurolinan.com) is back online.
I’ve been playing around with SugarCRM a bit, I will post on it in the next few days. I’m planning to test its email campaign functionality. I have the community edition installed, and other than not having reports functionality (which is pretty essential), it is pretty good.
