Blogging Tools

  • Alphabetizer Puts lists in alphabetical order - useful for organising blog lists, blogrolls
  • Do you use blog editors - programs you install on your PC to write and submit your posts?7 . Windows Live Writer and Qumana seem to come out the winners whenever I have read reviews or recommendations. Here is a good review on a few of the editors available written by my friend Mig - Awesome or Less Awesome Blog Editors. Software, not People
  • Headline Analyzer will analyze your headline to determine its Emotional Marketing Value (EMV) score. Try checking the score of posts from the veryt popular bloggers and compare it to your own.
  • Better GReader is a Firefox Greasemonkey script by Lifehacker that rolls three Google Reader user scripts into one -, maximizing the viewing area, skipping Google’s default subscribe mechanism, and adding keyboard shortcuts.

Social Networking

  • SiteHoppin’.com is a new Web 2.5 social networking/bookmarking wiki site that let’s you find, bookmark, and share interesting sites by hopping instead of typing. combining such technologies as Wikis, tagging, social networking, and site hopping.
    As with StumbleUpon you can site hop and rate sites but using a “Beer Rating System”, giving from 1 to 5 beers to a site depending on how interesting you think the site is. (and how drunk you are…) Also works on iPhones and iPod Touch so you do not even have to wait till you get home to get your next fix. You list your own site and can submit your own posts.
  • Social Media Mom has published The Best In Mom Networking Sites - a great resource.

Wordpress News

  • A new Wordpress Plugin : Multipage Toolkit - allows you more customization of long posts, including pagination and individual page titles.
  • TagThis is a new wordpress plugin that allows your readers to add tags to your posts via a small textbox below each post. The most popular tags are then displayed under the post itself but you do have control over this. This is useful for tagging pre 2.3 posts and for making your tags more in tune with your readers’ preferences.
  • Automattic has released Prologue, a Wordpress theme with a Twitter style interface.
  • Wordpress.com has increased its free upload space 60x from 50mb to 3,000mb

Criteo Widget Update

The Criteo Autoroll widget is no more, it is a deceased widget, as I suspected it was nailed to its perch (Monty Python fans will understand this). It was not bringing me much traffic and I have enough on my page to slow it down as it is.

As usual, incredibly helpful. I particularly like the headline analyser and will be using that one over and over again.

I tried to use Site Hoppin for a bit but I wasn’t really into it. Guess I’m still into Digg and Facebook
