Macworld: The best blogging tools for the MacRight now, the blogging tools most popular with Mac users are TypePad and Movable Type, both from Six Apart; Blogspot and Blogger, from Blogger (now part of Google); and WordPress, an open-source tool. These five tools range in power and complexity from simple-but-limited (TypePad, Blogger, and Blogspot) to do-pretty-much-anything-but-may-require-coding (WordPress). Movable Type is somewhere between these two extremes. Thanks Google Alerts

Is webstats4u (formerly Nedstat) hurting your site? All traces of Nedstat and/or webstats4u have been removed from all of my sites. There are many reasons for this removal. The popups were just pure annoying The popups might be violating AdSense (and other ad package) policies in spite of the fact that the popups were not contextual. Though there is no empirical data to prove it, I have read in the past that popups might reduce Google traffic Though there is no empirical data to prove it, I know for a fact that a large percentage of web visitors hate popups 😉 I refuse to allow the kind of tactics that webstats4u has decided to employ There are way too many good online statistics packages (free ones) for anyone to continue using webstats4u In addition to the above, I would like to clear IceRocket of any wrongdoing. The popups were a […]

Writeboard Use “Collection” as the password to access the WriteBoard. Like Uploadbin (or Pastebin) on steroids. Well, steroids with a sprinkling of sanity. I cannot decide whether to think that this is something I never knew I wanted or something that I never knew I disliked. [UPDATE] Maybe I am imagining things, but I saw WordPress blogging to work much like this Writeboard in a few (insert timeline here).

WP Plugin: Chitika eMiniMalls Darren over at Problogger.net had a great review of Chitika and I have been running them myself for some time (though this blog sucks with basically any and all kinds of clickthrough ads). Proel wrote this plugin to selectively add minimalls to posts. This could be useful if you only want to pick and choose your ad posts. I am not going to display an ad here for everyone to click. However, if you visit some of my other blogs, you can see the ads.

30GB Web Mail Launches Into Beta: This takes the cake. Of course the 30gigs.com site is down with a mysql error. I wonder how long this one will last. Heck, I sticll haven’t filled up less than half of my GMail space (and hope never to do so!) [UPDATE] Site is back up but I notice this disclaimer “Notice: We collect personal information on this site.” Ummm… there was an uproar when Google wanted to read through email to generate ads. How do they think they can pull this off?
