19 Dec 08 Better Twitter-WordPress integration here now

I have switched from hashtags.org to Twemes for the Twitter tag feed for web analytics (#wa) that appears in the sidebar. Sorry, hashtags, but you just weren’t reliable.

I have also added a Flash widget for Twitter, showing my tweets, to the top of the sidebar. It’s kind of flashy, so I might switch to the text version.

Finally, I have added TwitThis (shouldn’t that be “TweetThis”?) at the bottom of each post, allowing you, my fine readers, to Tweet, with ease, I hope, any post you choose.

Ah, the joy of actually using social media!

12 Dec 08 Admin notes

You no longer have to register to comment here… I didn’t realize that was set until a friend told me last night at the social media Tweetup.  Your first comment will be automatically held for moderation.

The Twitter feeds on the right side of the page don’t seem to be working well.  Tweets are missing from my feed; the web analytics (#wa) tag tracker feed from hashtags.org seems to be unreliable.

10 Dec 08 A couple of notes about this blog

With gratitude toward those who have given me feedback about this blog… I just changed the RSS feed to supply the full text of posts, rather than truncated versions.

I was asked off-line about the Google ads that appear here.  They’re not here to make money (not that I have any real objections), they’re here so that I can see what happens, since I’m always interested in the relationship between social media and advertising.
